Much improved version
New update
Response from developer
TayAnthem, appreciate the positive vibe! I hope you have found the new notification & alerts function inside Settings menu, since the old version did not have alerts. You can even set the alerts to heavy vs light rain, and define a minimum total rain time required to alert (for example, you can weed out short 5-10 minute light rains). One other thing, you might try "legacy" navigation, which some people like better because it is closer to the old app. You can test out by going to Settings > Main Clock Screen > Rain Summary, then turn switches on or off. I am happy to answer any further questions via the "Contact" button at the bottom of the Settings menu. Hope to talk to you soon. RA

Hello AxelMajere. Just following up to see if you saw the last message, and if you got things working how you like. Previous Message: It sounds like you might have the old version. Or, have not turned on the settings that make it more like the old app. Please go to Settings > Main Clock Screen > Rain Summary, then turn on the switches. You will see RainClock always shows, and has the "quick summary" wording inside it. You will also see the navigation buttons at the bottom of the screen. Please let me know if that works for you!
Used to be great, updates not intuitive
Excellent
Changed rating from 2 to 5 stars. Developer support is also 5 stars. My weather information needs are very modest but it is clear that the developers are trying hard to make the program the best that they can.

Thank you very much for your response. Your last paragraph describes the problem. I would like all 3 larger charts to maintain their titles (and corresponding content)

After today’s update, it is still a two star program. The developer was kind enough to respond, saying the below problem would be fixed, but it wasn’t.
Could be a very useful program but there are two serious problems: the rectangular graphs don’t retain their settings and don’t automatically update - the designated names for them e.g. precipitation amount changes to something else, and the date on top does not correspond to the dates represented in the graphs below the date.

Mad Scientist Weather App
I think a lot of people find themselves in a state of shock when they first open the new version. It is so data-dense and button-heavy as to be overwhelming at first.
And the options! There are too many and they are often unclear until you become more familiar with the new design. I think the number of configurable options would be easier to digest with some UI tweaks. For example, opening to new screens instead of opening a plethora of drop-down menus. Also, a help button on each options page with details of every setting would be very helpful.
Another little thing -- the settings screen (and many other screens) have three ways to dismiss it -- tap the down arrow in the upper left corner, tap the X button in the upper right corner or drag the screen down from the top. This is overkill and confusing!
The forecast seems a bit general. For example, it says there is a 30% chance of rain on Wednesday, but no hints as to when the rain will appear or how much will fall. Note that this detail *is* available for the next 36 hours, but not beyond that.
I am glad the developer set a "like it was before (kind of)" toggle. I tried it and decided I like the new version better, but it is a more gentle introduction to long-time users of the app.
The more I play around with this, the more I like it.
In summation, I think this app was designed by a mad weather scientist (and I mean that mostly as a compliment). I am confident the app will get better and easier to use -- it just needs some iterative love to make it shine.

Thank you AmberCrystal. It is a bit overwhelming, even for seasoned meteorologists. I will admit that the settings menu grew into a "monster" over time. I"m not even sure how to approach documenting everything, but I will eventually. I think some youtube videos would be best. And I like your idea of re-designing the settings menu to be more focused (tap a section, open entire new sheet). It's funny you said "mad scientist", because I jokingly considered renaming it "InsaneAware". That said, you are right, once you build the muscle memory, it becomes easier. The fact is there are very limited ways to pack such an immense amount of functionality onto a small screen (without being in sub-menu hell). Given your description, I assume you are already a subscriber? If not, I recommend unlocking with a day pass to see the "real deal". Also on tablet or computer screen is best. I think people are way smarter than they think and I want to give everyone the opportunity to learn how leverage this weather data. Thanks again.

Version 2.1.0 is now available in the App Store! When you update it, keep both purple switches "on" in the "What's New" popup. Your feedback played a critical role in making the app better for everyone, I hope you like the changes.
