BeWeather 3 for iPhone

re: BeWeather v3 (Beta) for iPhone

I am not saying don't read left to right. If you look at the 7 day section. It has a column for days, a column for forecast graphic and a column for temperature range. It makes it more readable to have these columns. I am suggestion something similar for the forecast text (or blend them together #3 alternative).

In the text forecast section when some of the forecast go to 2 lines and some are only 1 line (my example). I think it is harder to read. And the Day names are not emphasized and are in all caps which is not consistent with the day names in the section above.

And why wouldn't you want to have the bottom line more symmetrical with the circles more aligned?

I like the current set up.
To me columns would make the main temperature area look crowded, and in the lower section if the Day names are bold like the main area you would be taking away from the main area which is the focus point of the weather and icons. It would make it confusing in my opinion. The lower section is for secondary showings.

I like this design.

Obviously it's up to pfluger to make any changes or not.

You don't even see the lower section unless you scroll down so it's not a focus point to distract.

And I don't see how a little alignment makes it look crowded

Columns and alignment are different, but once again I like the current look.
Ultimately it's up to Pfluger to change it or not.

This is what I meant by 'columns'....alignment starting with the same column for the text. I should have put in visual example to start. Of course it's all up to pfluger.

Yeah, I still like the weekdays being in Caps while not highlighted and brief weather discription highlighted. There will be descriptions that are longer with a longer day of the week spelling next to it which would mean alignment would be difficult.
Once again I like this look better.

Can confirm also the bundling to the left, gets fixed if you open settings or alert screens.

Side note, this reminds of the old Berry Weather days when it all begun.

I still get the bunching to the left in the 7 day section. Pulling down on the location menu resets it correctly. This only happens when set to verticle bars. Also, there's a bit of overlap where it says "detailed conditions".

What phone is that? I tried a couple different devices but can't replicate this.

Thus far, the app has been great on my iPhone X. At the moment, however, the next 24 hours section isn’t displaying a lot of information, but that’s minor to me. Besides, I’m sure it’ll display the info soon. I’m really liking the app and appreciate all of your hard work, pfluger.

That's been fixed in the new beta.

6s Plus. Some with newer X style phones get the same. Pulling down to refresh sets it correctly. Or tapping on temperature ( Hi/Lo) resets it. Only happens on vertical bars.

Since the latest Beta update this problem hasn't happened on my Xs Max.

I agree. There are no in app weather sets available, but custom weather sets can be loaded in the custom area with a proper link.

re: BeWeather v3 (Beta) for iPhone

I would like to request the wind arrows point with the direction of the wind not into the wind like a weather vane. Most other weather sites (dark sky, google, weather underground) have the wind arrows pointing in the wind direction. For example, if the wind is coming out of the north the arrow points down from north to south. Here are pictures of google weather and weather underground for the same time as BeWeather:

I spoke to soon. The "bunch up" just happened on my Xs Max...

Been using this app since the berry weather days, and I've come to rely on it. Which is why am disappointed with the rollout to the new version, the old version just stopped. This forum is great though.

The severe weather notification is sticky for all locations once I scroll to a location that has one, even when I scroll back to locations where it previously didn't show a red notification icon and that have no severe weather notifications. Using iPhone Xs.

Also what is the weather icon for now and 11am, it looks like a cloud with sheets coming out of it, is that supposed to be drizzle, I'm just not sure.
