Nice to hear that the instructions for home icon are working well on Android as I only tested the ones on iOS :D
I agree on the weekly graph being a bit of a distraction. I thought about hiding it especially on mobile. We had a snowstorm and power outage because of strong winds over the holidays. I found it useful to get a general sense of safety with regards to wind speed/gust (up to 110km/h!) and precipitations. In the end, I decided to leave it there initially and maybe confine it to its own section later from the general feedback.
Your feedback on the map is great. I've held off on working on it now since it's a considerable effort and I don't have an API ready to consume that gives that. I wasn't really relying on it from the darksky website but it's definitely on my mind. Other than looking cute, I think there's good value in the precipitation overlay too.
Sure. I just spent a few minutes poking back through the other weather apps I've got installed on my phone to see how their radar maps look. The two I like best are Windy and Ventusky. Both feel pretty readable in terms of background layer and cloud colors, and have fairly good animation of the clouds. Not sure where they're drawing that virtual imagery from.
