How to gift Windy Premium đ
-
Many of our users keep asking us whether there is an option to gift Windy Premium to someone. The answer is YES and we have prepared a short manual how to do it:
Purchase Premium on desktop
-
Log out from your account, go to https://www.windy.com/subscription and choose one of the purchase options. (You need to purchase Premium as a ânon-logged inâ user).
-
Fill out the purchase details and select payment method
-
Click on Pay
Pick up Premium code
-
Once you have successfully completed payment, you will receive 3 emails from our provider FastSpring.
-
In "Windy CheckOut" email, you can pick up your code, which will have this format - "WINDYxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxxx".
Applying gifted code
Activation of the gifted Windy Premium code can be only done on desktop and is as follows:
-
Login to your account or create one here
-
Go to Subscriptions and click on "Restore purchases"
-
Then insert the gifted code (WINDYxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxxx) and you are all set! Windy Premium will be assigned to your account.

Hi
-
I have paid for premium and donât seem to have it applied to the app please can you help! We are meant to flood and I was hoping to get more accurate information but instead itâs worse! Please help
-
@mrsbargin Hello, I can see you already have Premium activated. If you want to access it in the app as well, just login with the same account details.

Hello
I do not understand one time payment for one year
What is the difference between that and annual subscription?
Thank you
-
@illum1n4ti Hello, one time payment means there is no subscription and no commitment. Annual subscription is renewable every year.
-
@korina I have paid (pay pal) for premium but didn't receive an e-mail from Fast Spring yet. Please advise
-
Hi, I purchased premium, but cannot access it on any of my devices. When I click annual subscription again it says 'already purchased'. I bought it via iOS, did not receive a restore code. HELP!
-
@roelofs, thank you for your support!
To access your Premium features, follow the steps in this manual: https://community.windy.com/topic/11832/what-to-do-if-you-can-t-access-your-windy-premium-features.Premium should be available to you once you tap on 'Restore purchase'. If not, let us know if you are getting any error message.

Thx, it works!

Danke fßr die nßtzlichen Informationen! Ich habe lange darßber nachgedacht, mir eine Prämie zu nehmen!

Hi, not related to gifting, but I can't find the answer anywhere else. Is it possible to subscribe to the premium service as a monthly cost rather than a yearly amount? Most sites allow this option i.e. some people can't afford a yearly charge and are unsure if they want to subscribe for a year. I know it would be a higher amount but just can't see the answer. Great site btw - I just want to try it out for a few months this way before I commit to a years payment really!
-
Hi @tropical1979, the monthly subscription is no longer available. Maybe if we gather enough feedbacks we will consider putting it back.
-
awwww thats a shame, id happily pay more to try it out for a month or 2 before i commited, but im reluctant to pay a bulk sum in case its not for me
-
I too found this confusing.
Suggest you call them âOne Time Purchaseâ and âRenewing Subscriptionâ, because the phrase âbuy for one yearâ implies repeating cost.Another suggestion: the main reason for upgrading for me is getting rid of advertisements. It would be nice to have a lower price to get rid of the ads, only. Just call it âRemove Adsâ. Perhaps people like me would pay $20 but not $30.
Also, the differences in density, quality, and speed should be better explained. Examples:
In Density, whatâs the difference between standard and high resolution? Resolution in terms of data quality, or resolution in time?
In Quality, whatâs the difference between standard data and precise data? How much more precision?
In Speed, can you quantify the improvement? In low network loading conditions, wouldnât any difference be negligible?

@korina
I -am- referring to your iOS app.
I know it is not currently showing ads - thank you, but when I look at the upgrade to Premium page which compares Free vs Premium table, under Free, Privacy, it says âTargeted advertisement from 2021â. -
@flysnj Hi, to answer your question:
Density - normally forecast is displayed in 3 hour intervals, but in Premium you will get forecast in 1hr steps, which is much more precise.
Quality - in free version, ECMWF is only updated 2 times a day (every 12 hours), in Premium this intervals lowers to 4 times a day (every 6 hours).
Speed - we offer faster delivery of our data.

Why didn't I get your email

@gaoqiangzhang Hello, where did you please subscribe to Windy Premium, on desktop or in the app?
