Preferences

Open from the menu.  The following items can be configured:

• Initial view:  The view displayed when the app is opened: either the favourites screen or open the default station detail (or widget station detail when the app is opened by tapping the home screen widget).
• Back button closes app: Setting this will make the app close when the back button is pressed instead of going back the favourites from the station detail screen.
• Update interval: Select the interval at which the weather should be checked. Note that if the widget is not used, weather will only be updated once you open the app.
• High Contrast: Changes the in app text to white on black for better clarity.
• Status bar text colour: The colour can be set to either black or white. The default is black. If your device’s title bar is black you’ll need to set the status bar to the white option to see the temperature! The same goes for white temperature on a white title bar.
• Temperature Units: Select either Celcius or Fahrenheit
• Wind Speed Units: Select from kilometers per hour (km/h), knots, meters per second or miles per hour
