Met Office App

[purpleme12]

Has anyone just got the met office app updated?

What do you think?

I hate it since it's been updated!

Yes most of these were my comments too!

Yes!!

It's too dark, too cluttered, needs too much scrolling to find anything and someone is obsessed with raindrops. It's covered in raindrops even when it's not raining.

It has that but you have to scroll all the way down to temperature (or click through to it from other details like wind or rainfall) to find it.

You can't scroll across to tomorrow in the widget any more, it opens the app and then you have to scroll. I don't want to open the app, I just want a quick look!

I want my "feels like" back pls as well.

I'm glad it's not just me. It's awful and I'm going to really miss the "feels like" function. Do any other weather apps have it? In the meantime, I've deleted it and am giving the BBC app a try.

It's terrible
I used to have the widget showing hourly weather. It took up 1 X 4 tiles on my android. Now it wants 2x5 for the same information. That's waaaay too much space on my home screen. I've changed to the accu weather widget for now. ( And it's placing me on the neighbouring town - grr, but at least the day that's temporary). I have left feedback

Edited to say that I also hate that the widget is a massive black square. It looked so much better to be able to adjust transparency in the old app

Me too, it was so easy to use before, now it's not.

Thank you!

What a sodding palaver though. Why would you update your app to be less user friendly?!

Ah the colour changes - interesting 😂 like those cat weather apps!

YR does have feels like temp but only for “now”

They got loads of feedback from the beta saying how bad it was (and the lack of widgets) and they "updated" it anyway. They did add widgets but they're much worse. I reinstalled the old one and I'm not updating it until it forces me to.

I absolutely hate it. I've reverted to the old one.

Wait what?
You can get the old one back?
Pretty please let us know how. I woke up to this horror the other day. I didn't get a choice 😭

How do you do that??!

I hate the new version for all the reasons everyone else has said, but amother gripe is that it doesn’t show me MY location, as in, the suburb I live in, just the nearest weather station which has a completely different name.

If you're on android you just use APK mirror to find the old one. I think it was the November version.

I use the met office website rather than the app. It defaults to the new version but gives an option to revert to the old one.

@Cortexiphan err....
Any chance of some simple instructions please 😁

I agree, I hate the new BBC app!

Has anyone come across the function to switch between Celcius and Farenheit anywhere in this horror? I’ve looked everywhere I can think of but as I missed finding the Feels Like temp until someone pointed it out here maybe I’ve just not unearthed it. I suspect it’s gone though (which I soon will be as well if they don’t fix this mess).

Exactly
And then you have to do more scrolling across to see further across the day
Whereas before you could see most of the day without scrolling too much

😠

It's here https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/met-office/met-office-weather-forecast/met-office-weather-forecast-2-47-2-release/

I think I used the apk mirror app in the play store to install it https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.apkmirror.helper.prod&hl=en&referrer=utmsource%3Dgoogle%26utmmedium%3Dorganic%26utmterm%3Dapk+mirror+play+store&pcampaignid=APPU1B5ZuacufJqufhbIPjp23uAI

Oh you have to uninstall the new one first!

I don't like the new version but I guess I'll get used to it. I'm getting old and generally don't like change eg new phone, car etc. DH loves new stuff.

I didn't
