NONSENSICAL UI & SETINGS – Yachting Weather Review

DEVELOPERS: Please READ, and DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS APP! No professional weather forecast defaults wind direction as the direction the wind is blowing “to”. NONE. Wind direction is ALWAYS stated as “out of”. ALWAYS. No exceptions. Well, except this app. And, that is not “inverted” - your default is what is inverted! Also, who states precipitation as “mm/in”, or “L/m2”? How about a straight depth in inches, mm or meters? Why would someone endeavor to write an app about a subject of which they seem to have so little apparent knowledge (either weather or sailing)? Have you ever heard of distances being stated in terms of “Metrical/Imperial”? Me neither! How do I get nautical vs. statute miles? And, what does “mp/h” even mean for speed? MAKE KNOTS AT OPTION FOR ALL SPEED SETTINGS! It should even be the DEFAULT! Sailors don’t use miles per hour or meters met hour - THEY USE KNOTS! There are undefined symbols for waves, with numbers that are frightening. What does “7s 9m” represent? It isn’t listed in the key. Makes me not trust any app from ESIRION.
