The app and its notification has saved me a lot of time, I used to check multiple weather sites, forecasting app and Nea nowcast while planning and before heading out. Bringing family members with wheelchair is challenging already and on top of that weather could be an added risk factor (not just dampening the mood - slippery, drenched, thunderstorms, trapped in bad accessibility location for shelter) Thanks again for this app, so that we don’t have to go through this again and could change our plan accordingly before heading out.
“New” app clearly still in beta, needs improvement
I Wish Your App Was Better
Decided to write a review, since your app has no other way to send in feedback except through the same feedback form that NEA provides to report littering, etc. This will unnecessarily lengthen your feedback cycle as feedback gets routed through the normal NEA feedback channels.Overall new app design requires too much vertical scrolling to access features. It’s a list of cards, not Instagram.App does not allow for swiping right to return to a previous view, which would improve usability."Sort Features" in "Features and Alerts" could be accessible from an Edit button in the top right corner, instead of the user having to scroll to the bottom of the page to access it (once again, too much scrolling). This will improve discoverability.The user is not able to enable the following features in the "Sort Features" list:- Lightning- Rainfall Intensity- Wind- Drain Water Level- Water Supply DisruptionFor that matter, why does the user have to go into Settings to enable a feature in order to see it? Even if they don’t want it in their main line-up of cards, they may still occasionally want to look it up. This design choice makes that process cumbersome.There is no map overlay for regional hot spots or wind direction, unlike the previous version of the app.Your example card for "Food Establishment" uses the real name and address of a restaurant, and lists it as "Suspended". I wonder if the owners would appreciate you using their name like that.
Not user friendly and more troublesome

The previous app was good but it does have some issues with the app not working during raining time; however, it was very easy to get all the information you want such as the wind direction for every location in Singapore, the temperature gradient for each area, the humidity and the current weather conditions. For some reasons, NEA decided to take few steps back in innovation by making this new app such that you have to click extra steps to find the information of other areas with less information as compared to the previous app; additionally, i dont understand why the need to include your current location as you can easily get the weather condition you want if you provide general weather info for every area. The developer confirm lazy to go out to find feedback then ownself fill up the feedback form.
Updated app is not as intuitive

Older app was more intuitive and had key indicators easily visible on first page once settings have been done to choose preferred info. I could easily assess rain, lightning and wind situation at a glance. Now rain has to be overlaid and needs an extra step to click on a pull-up screen. There are many layers involved to compare weather info across various locations. Eg if I want to gauge possibility of playing tennis and am choosing which public court at which location to book to avoid moving rain clouds, I now have to click into one location at a time and remember data to compare. Before on the old app, I could just see all the current info at a glance. Newer app seems to be developed by people who don’t use the app for daily functions like planning for outdoor travel via public transport, hikes, outdoor sports, fishing trips, where current and forecasted data across multiple locations need to be easily compared at a glance. My 13-year old kid has been using the old app to check weather in prep for her training sessions, and even she commented that the new app is very user-unfriendly. Also, the app has been inaccessible for the last few days. Please look into redesigning the app closer to the original version.
To make the app a better one for you, we reviewed every feedback received!
This version includes:
Enhancements for Dengue/Aedes/Zika and Project Wolbachia features with better visual prominence of clusters in the map
Enhancements for Regional Hazards feature with improved tropical cyclone sub-feature
If you like the app, please rate us in the App Store. It would serve as great motivation to us.
For any feedback, please share with us via "Settings -> Help Us Improve". Thank you!
