Gave it a quick test and I think you should invest a bit more into UX. Default screen shows me only current weather and that just isn't useful. Compare it to default Weather app. Or was I supposed to configure this screen?

Navigation inside the app doesn't feel intuitive at all. Maybe it's more similar to default experience on android? No idea. Map/Hourly/Daily buttons don't work as tabs. Daily view arrives with scrolling up animation, but when you scroll to close it there is a large ad banner (well, understandable, but awkward) and for some reason weather news (why would anyone want it there or at all?). I've noticed "close" button later, but it was in bottom right corner for some reason.

Plastering "RealFeel(r)" everywhere was horrible idea. It is corny, unnecessary and reads worse than "feels like".



Thanks. I think the new app coming out next month has a better UX. As for comparison with the default Weather app, I think the underlying forecast is more accurate. [Note, I work not on the app, but in back-end data. I'm happy to forward feedback to the people who work on the app.]
