I don’t like it, it’s another exercise in taking a functional website and ‘modernising’ it by making it look like a mobile app (i.e. the make it look attractive to kindergarten kids school of design).
For my own use cases it’s made it more annoying to get to the 7 day Canberra forecast, made the local radar harder to see, and I’m not noticing a link to the written ACT region forecast which I will want to look at in winter.
Fair enough. I too have, or had a bookmark to my local radar that no longer works. Mildly annoying, but I’ll get over it.
Not sure why they needed to change it for viewing on a phone, though, if that’s the reason. I never really had an issue doing that – just pinch and zoom – and there’s the dedicated BOM app for those that didn’t like it.
