@ershler You might have a build from Testflight installed. Check the app store and see if you have an update.

@therobf There will be a fix for this in the next build. Thanks for reporting this issue!

Thanks for all the hard work the weatherflow team puts into this. I have to share some constructive criticism on this the recent update. It is a downer with the removal of the forecast card. I like the card view cause its easier to read at a distance, but i like the forecast and hourly reads from the default page. Having the forecast card “kind of” met a happy median. Also, adding dark mode would have been a much better improvement than removing the forecast card. It would also be nice to have an hourly forecast card. Basically just a copy and paste of the current hourly display on the main view(i will add this to a feature request topic). Thanks guys and gals!

I would love an Android Widget made from WeatherFlow! I have the ongoing notification but I would be nice to have! Keep up the good work!

App enhancement request: on the Home page and main Station view, show the current rainfall rate, e.g. 0.5"/hr. I’d prefer that to the adjectives now used (“Light”, “Heavy”, etc.). “Current” should probably be an average of no more than 1-2 minutes’ readings. (“Wow, it’s really pouring now, exactly how hard is this rain?”)

Thank you!

Also: please sell us a coordinating tipping bucket! I love my Tempest, but today it’s under-reporting rainfall compared to neighbors’ tipping buckets by about 65%!
