Bug: the rain animation crashes the app (Pixel 6). starts the app for 2 seconds, then the app is killed. reproduces 100% of the time. edit fixed
Es wäre schön, wenn die App-Sprache sich in den Einstellungen (in der App oder in System analog zu Swisstopo) auswählen liesse. Zwar gibt es eine Sprachauswahl in der App, aber sie hat keinen Einfluss auf die Benutzeroberfläche. // Tipp zur Homescreen-Reihenfolge, um die Informationsdichte zu verbessern: Wetterbericht, Sport & Gesundheit, Wochenprognose, Messwerte, Meteo-Meldungen, Blog.
The recent update made the app worse in my opinion. When we go in the Animations tab, we can't zoom in as much as we used to, and the "3D" style of the map isn't that nice-looking. Would be great if we could at least change the style of it.
Das neue Design hat sich gebessert was die Informationsdichte und Überschaubarkeit angeht. Aber ich würde lügen, wenn ich sagen würde, dass sich das Redesign gelohnt hat. Selbst wenn ich alles so gut wie möglich einstelle: An die Usability des alten UI kommt die neue Version nicht mal im Ansatz ran. Ich verwende immer noch lieber die alte Version auf meinem anderen Tel.
The best app is no more. The UI broke from one day to the next, showing the animated map only freezes my phone. I give 2 stars because for now there is still an option to use the old UI. If the change goes permanent, I'll switch to Ventusky, which allows me to have animated world map without issues. Edit: the option to use the old UI is gone, this app is now unusable on older phones: 1 star.
