Cool. The initially mistook the newly updated rainviewer as in-operational. I believe I was being somewhat impatient 
In version 1.0.1 the Locate button didn’t work for me, too. In 1.0.2 it works again and I haven’t used Location service for a long time.
I have another issue now: in a light ambience only every second row is displayed in light, the others are dark, looks terrible (on days and hours pages).
Ok, I’ll have a look at light ambiences. I never, ever use light so I’ve probably never seen the effect.

I found one more inconsistency with number format (sorry)
The percentage of cloud cover (top right corner of each field in weak view and next to air pressure in day view) has a . instead of , and it has sometimes 1 sometimes 2 and sometimes 15 digits (in case of .3333333333333). Also the air pressure in day view has a ,
Yes, that appears to be a bug that I can’t fix 
There is only one function for all those values (a utility function) and it specifies 1 decimal place. But I’ll have a look at where the separator may have been missed. EDIT, although, for cloud cover, I can just reduce it to no decimal places as in the day view …

Yes please. I think nobody needs the value that precise. Also it looks ugly:
83.33333333333333
%

It’s a bit odd. Those values come via the api and no calculations are done with them. The same value will show up with .33333 on the week view and as 83 on the daily view. Have not figured it out yet. I’ll probably do a truncate on it.

BTW, is it on purpose that the new rain radar extends only into the past and has no prediction?

Good question. I cannot recall if it ever was predictive! I need to look at the requests being made to open street maps anyway, so I’ll investigate.

It used to have 30 min of predictive power

Thanks! I’ll see if I missed a setting …
I looks the api might have introduced limits: the frames data is fetched with
mapFrames = api.radar.past;
using
mapFrames = api.radar no longer works.
For ‘personal use’, but I think generally, they have disabled the outlook on the future. Sigh.

I installed it yesterday and it works quite well, even the rain radar works smooth → good job so far, but one annoying thing is the search and find locations. i for example looked for Meißen, a city in Saxonia. Without GPS enabled it did just find 2 results, but that were not the city itself, just nearby locations. And it didn’t matter, if I wrote Meißen or Meissen. When I toggled my GPS on, it found very fast the proper location anf showed me the nsme ad Meissen and all weather data came wirhout issues.
Nice App. Love to see such fundamental infos like weather being fetched from a service I already pay for with my taxes.
Just some thoughts about the app cover.
The displayed information doesn’t fit the tile as seen in the screenshot (v1.0.7 on SFOS 5.0.0.78, Xperia 10iii).
I think, if the values were shown just as whole numbers, one could place the temperature side by side to the main weather condition icon. To me, that would be enough accuracy for a quick glance.
Another option would be to put the rain amount next to the humidity percentage (discarding the small cloud icon) in one line as done within the forecast list within the app.

The list of stations was hand edited from the DWD data so it may be missing some stations. I’ll make a ticket and see if I can get a more accurate update.

It’s one you only notice with longer place names 
I’ll have a look at different options for making it fit …
