      GPS seems to be the issue. With location enabled in iOS Settings (which I never had to enable before) it opened to the correct location. Disabling location in Settings resulted in the erroneous pan to 0/0.

      It looks like the latest update to the app expects location services to be enabled. But, I don’t want my weather app following me around so I have it disabled.

      If anyone else wants to try replicating the above I can write step-by-step instructions.

      The TLDR method is to disable location in iOS Settings for the Windy app, then click on the widget. It should open and pan to 0.00, 0.00 rather than your preferred startup favorite. This assumes your startup location is a favorite and not IP or GPS.

        Any input? I shouldn't have to have location services enabled for this widget to function. That's a privacy conflict at a minimum.

          Anyone?

          Certainly I can’t be the only one with this bug. I can replicate it with ease.

          Or, am I not posting in the correct location?

                  @Korina Thank you! Both the startup location via widget and subscription bug appear to have been fixed. Very much appreciated.

                    I just got the app 5 days ago and I am having the same startup issue starting at 0.0/0.0.
                    I tried to uninstall and I disabled and enabled all permissions. But still starting at 0.0/0.0

                      @smokey94 I pulled up the wind archive and that managed to fix my.location issue. It's weird it wouldn't work with the normal map

                        Where do you pull up wind archive on Windy. Please show a screenshot.
