When you go to set manual location for weather forecast instead of automatic, a popup shows, asking me if I really want to do that. This requires one extra tap to dismiss that popup. I think it would be better to display this info on the same dialog where the user enters the fixed location. Just as information text, without interrupting the user.

It's not just a confirmation, though. There are three methods NL to enter the location:

  • Current location: Uses location services and updates location periodically
  • Fixed location - Automatic: Uses location services once
  • Fixed location - Enter manually: Let's you enter your location.

I see, I didn't know that. Maybe this needs a bit more explanation then?

I think one option could be to change the fixed location selection dialog this way: remove the description text and show current location city name as the button label instead of the "Okay" text.
So you would have the structure like this: "Fixed location" (title of the dialog), "Berlin" (primary button), "Set different location" (secondary button)

@Martin5001 the location could need several seconds to load, though, and the user most likely hasn't granted the location permission yet to detect it automatically.

Oh, that's true.
Or maybe when there's the textbox in which user types the location, there could be a button next to it with that "find location" icon.

So the fixed location option would get the user straight to the textbox, which would now have this location button added. (Similar to what some map/weather apps do, so users would probably be used to that and understand it easily.)
