Particle Mode Ruined, -1 Star
First, I love Seasonality Core. Really, really love it. Cool, fascinating, visually appealing and educational; overall a wonderful app!
One of the coolest features is Particle Mode which displays the movement and temperature of surface air using small color-coded moving particles (small dots). It was fascinating and highly educational watching how cold and hot air masses interact with one another, how winds move along and over mountain ranges and passes, how storms interact with surrounding air currents, etc.
Now, with the newly added "motion trails" in this version (2.4), Particle Mode runs much slower than before and looks plain awful. The trails are not only annoying and get in the way of seeing details, they are irrelevant; the particles, alone, are and where already in MOTION and TRAILING.
Yes, I can see times turning the trailing feature on would be cool. Turning them off would also be cool. Sadly, however, the developers decided we have no choice in the matter and dont give an option to turn them off.
I still love SC and still highly recommend it despite Particle Mode now being far less appealing. I just hope the developers choose to give us a choice soon and allow us the option to turn the annoying trails off.
