Not bad, but it’s lost some options

Overall, the new “look” of the app isn’t bad as it seems clean and somewhat reminiscent of an iOS feel. However, the interface is a bit goofy and not intuitive. For example, to go back to the daily view from the hourly, there’s no arrow or indication that you click the forecast. Also, the cloud and gear icons to bring up the submenus strikes me as a bit odd. My biggest complaint, though, is the removal of some of the more granular settings that allowed me to control what information was displayed in the current, daily, and hourly forecast. You can also no longer choose how many days to include in the forecast.

Oh, and I too agree with others that the new name is mystifying. If you want to use a Latin word, it would seem more logical to use one somewhat more connected with the point of the software. “MenuWeather” may not have been very creative, but it’s the principal reason I found the old program in the first place.

EDIT: Since updating to “Orbis”, this app routinely no longer loads weather. Instead, I get nothing but a red exclamation mark and error that it couldn’t connect. This has gotten progressively worse and now it rarely actually loads anything. Unfortunately, this formely good app has now been relegated to the worthless category at this point.
