BeWeather 3 for iPhone

Re: BeWeather v3 (Beta) for iPhone

I don't see that for my location. But do for your area. Also don't see it for your area in other apps. Could be ground clutter causing it with the radar there.

Isn't it using the same data as Dark Sky? In any case it's still got phantom blobs, 7 hours later.

I noticed when opening menu to change locations it defaults to delete location screen. I don’t remember it doing this before.

I just loaded the new beta and I still cannot select a weather icon set from the list. I deleted my existing app before installing the new beta.

Should be fixed now. Please try again.

Yes, that is the correct new behavior. We also moved the 'add' button to the bottom as we could remove the 'edit' button.

Yes, it uses weather data from Dark Sky, but not the map. The map may still be weather underground. Not sure. But it's radar ground clutter. The radar appears to originate just south of Ashburn, and spreads out to the Rockford area.

I don't see that ground clutter any where else.
This can happen when the radar beam is too low. It can also happen when an atmospheric phenomenon known as an inversion causes the beam to turn downward into the earth. An inversion is a layer of warm air up above a layer of cooler air.

Is it possible to go back to the old behavior. Weather conditions at a glance for cities on the list was a huge plus.
I really liked the old way better.
I didn't update my iPad yet and this looks much better IMHO.

This just looks like a blank page for time zones about to be deleted.

@pluger

Thanks for all the programming to support the legacy icons. And I am able to select a custom icon set now.

One very minor issue is the rain graph doesn't always have the motion effect (up and down waves). This seems to occur sometimes when you enter the app from the widget. The rain graph then has no active motion.

This has happened to me as well a few times. But not from opening the app from the widget. I set it in motion again by tapping the caret to close, then again to open.

I also see it as being a hassle for lefties accidentally deleting places.

I agree as well as the "new behavior" not letting you know hazardous conditions where a family member or friend lives. The old set up was great. IMHO

Notifications work for whatever location is first on the list. Does not matter if it is the gps location or a manually entered one.

hmm I wonder why my don't work, I had many red bars on on my first location but did not get notifications.

Make sure you have Weather alert notifications turned on in the BeWeather settings.

Re: BeWeather v3 (Beta) for iPhone

I don't care for the red delete buttons in the location menu. Agree with others it was better before.

They are set to All. Always had that set.

@pfluger are you going to return to slide out section back to the original look?

We might tweak the use of the delete buttons but there will be no weather data coming back to the sidebar at this time.

Humm. May I ask why not? That was one of the main features that separated BeWeather from the rest.

The problem is that showing weather conditions in the list means we have to update data for all the locations (which multiplies the cost for accessing the weather data) even if you are only checking one location.
