Alternative to bottom bar
It feels a bit odd to have two stacked navigation menus at the bottom of the screen, especially since I don't really plan to use the subscriptions or maps features. There are a million ways one could set up the UI here, but personally I would consider shifting the options at the very bottom into a hamburger menu at the top that would either pop out those options (leaving timeline/hourly/daily). Depending on how this is handled, it has the benefit of getting some vertical real estate back for the actual weather content, which feels like it would be a win! (I think there's actually a chance this is how the app previously worked?)
Reviewing
The current structure encourages – and assumes – subscriptions and/or maps are features *most* users will want quick access to. So I’m totally on board with the principle that users should be able to dictate their preferences here, potentially increasing screen estate for your forecast. I have some ideas how to accomplish your goals (and to possibly go further even). I’ll share more shortly. In general, there have been a few comments on the app not feeling as “minimal” as before and I think for these users – to be clear in the minority – this will go a long way as I don’t think the screens themselves are more heavy feeling than before but that there’s simply more app UI.
