What’s New
Version 3.2.1
With the latest release of the MeteoSwiss app, we have expanded the local forecast with exciting new content. It now includes additional information on the probability of precipitation, the duration of sunshine and extended information on wind and gusts.
Thank you very much for all the feedback on the new app. This has really helped us to further improve the new app. The time has now come to say goodbye to the old home screen. This will no longer exist after the current release.
Ratings and Reviews
Settings gone
Nice update... but where are the settings? As my iPad is in English - previously one had the choice of what language you wanted for the text weather report (not available in English). I had it set to French. Now, that settings page is gone, and the text is in German only. :-(
Edit: several revised versions have been issued, but still no fix for this problem. Looks like the just do not care about anyone else but the German-speaking part of Switzerland
Response to developer: thanks, finally got it to work. The response took a long time though. And it's really not obvious where this setting is or how to access it.
Developer Response ,
You can change the language of text products by long-pressing the weather report tile and then tapping the settings icon.
Negativer Trend: Software entscheidet, was den Nutzer zu interessieren hat!
Wieder mal eine App, bei der wichtige Funktionen verschlechtert wurden, aber als Verbesserung angepriesen werden: In der neuen Version sind nur noch 5 der vielen von mir gespeicherten Orte in der Liste meiner Orte vorhanden. Erklärt wird das dadurch, dass jetzt die App die für mich relevanten Orte aussucht. Ein negativer Trend, dass die Software für den Nutzer entscheidet, was relevant ist! Man kann das zwar ausschalten, aber man muss alle früher gespeicherten Orte von Hand wieder neu einfügen. Dazu kann man anscheinend die Push-Warnmeldungen nicht mehr pro Ort ein- und ausschalten; ich nehme an, dass die App jetzt auch entscheidet, welche Push-Nachrichten mich zu interessieren haben. Für mich ein riesengrosser Rückschritt!
Wie ich gelesen habe wird die alte Version im Sommer deaktiviert, also werde ich die App -sofern die verschlechterte Konfigurierbarkeit bis dann nicht geändert wurde - dann löschen, und stattdessen auf die SRF Meteo App setzen.
Schade um eine ursprünglich gute, jetzt aber verhunzte App!
3.0 hätte es nicht gebraucht
3.0 ist hässlich, unergonomisch und ineffizient. Schade um das investierte Geld.
