Temperature numbers are bigger for easy reading.

По моему градус температуры должен быть рядом с прследней цифрой, а не над ней. У меня отображается так:

Мы переместили градус наверх, чтобы было больше места для цифр. К сожалению, температуру на Android модно выводить в квадратике шириной с высоту статусной строки.

Мне температура на синем фоне, нравилась больше. Было бы круто выбирать в настройках каким цветом у тебя будет фон температуры на "бордюре"

Requests:

1.) The degree symbol in the status bar is above the temperature number, which looks a bit off. I would recommend putting it to the right of the temperature number, like most other weather apps.

2.) The settings page, landscape page, sidebar (layout & button animation), and the and status bar should probably be updated to Material Design now that Android 5.0 is out.

3.) Instead of showing just "USA" under the Units list, it would be more accurate to show "Imperial (USA)".

4.) Adjustable 1 to 7 day forecast in the Notifications section, plus a cloud, sun, snowflake, raindrop, lightning strike, etc., in the status bar with the temperature overlayed on top to indicate current conditions.

If those 4 things get implemented in the app, I think it would look way more polished and would attract more users.

You're welcome for the suggestions :)

Начиная с версии Android 5.0 (Lollipop) единственный цвет, которым мы можем рисовать температуру в строке состояния это белый.

Brendan, thank you for the comprehensive review.
Most of these tasks are on our list and will be implemented as soon as their time comes.

1. The temperature in the Status Bar can only be displayed in a square with side length of Status Bar height.
The width is limited.
There is a choice:
- display degree symbol on the right, but make the numbers smaller;
- display numbers in maximum available size, but move the degree symbol on top;
Our first assumption that the majority of users would prefer bigger numbers.
