Premiun Account, Animation too Slow
-
Hi
I've just signed up to the Premium account - not so much for the extras, more to support a site I use quite regularly. However, now that the updates are /hour instead of /3 hours, when I animate the weather for the coming days it moves really slowly. Is there a way to speed it up? Or do I have to log out of my premium account to see it faster?
Thanks

With Premium, you can see the forecast per hour but this is different as having a new update every hour, which is bot the case.
The weather forecast updates depend of the model you use. For instance as a Premium user you can get 4 updates per day with IFS. Each update can be split by 3h or 1h -
Hi Thanks for the reply. I think perhaps I didn't explain my issue so well. On the normal version, when I press the "play" button, it moves the weather forward in 3 (or maybe 4) hour chunks - so it plays fairly quickly. On the premium version, it moves forward in 1 hour chunks so takes a lot longer to see the progression of the weather. Does that make more sense?
If so, I'd like to know if there's a way to speed up the "play" animation in premium.
-
Yeah this is a shame. I'm going to have to log out of my premium account because I can't use it when the "play" function now operates so slowly. How is there not an option to speed up the "play" speed of the coming days? Can't ever recall a situation when the premium option was worse than the free one. Very disappointing.
-
Instead of pressing the ‘Play’ button, use the R & L arrow keys of your keyboard to change the weather by 1h step and thus to control the speed.

Thanks for this - this is a reasonable fix. Shame there isn't an option to accelerate the animation though as sometimes it's nice to see the week evolution quicker rather than slower. Thanks for your idea though. -
@nb99 Hello, I understand your suggestion, we added the slower animation for users to better view the 1 hour difference.
-
I think to remember there used to be an animation speed selector (turtle -> rabbit). Maybe this could be an option so we could choose the play speed ourselves?
-
@primuszoon, thank you for the feedback, we will consider it when discussing new features.

I also paid to upgrade only to support the app.
The slow scrolling speed when you push play is very annoying. Swiping left and right to speed it up is not a fix because with a quicker, automatic and consistent scrolling speed you get a "feel" for how fast the changes are developing. You can't do this manually. This is a downgrade of the paid apps usefulness. I agree with a previous poster, put the turtle/hare switch back -
@ckwin Hello, thank you for feedback. On desktop, you can move the animation with arrows on your keyboard, so it is easier to control the speed.
-
Hey I have the same problem with my premium account. I would love to have the feature of managing the animation speed. Thank you very much for the update if possible :)

Hello, moving the animations with arrows is not precise and praticle to observe an evolving situation. Please put back this speed control :)

@odeboise thank you for your suggestion, we will consider it.

nudge.
I too am a premimum member, thought it was me and my PC, Glad to see its not, but his is a old topic and still not fixed please fix it windy its only a problem to your PAYING customers -
@sprockett
I am disappointed also. Like others in this thread, I got a Premium account to support the app. I very frustrating to use Windy on a iPhone and gave the animation go more slowly than before. This should be fixed ASAP. Thanks to you other users for raising the issue in the first place. -
@pauljonessailor @sprockett Hello, thanks for the input. What is the use case for the faster animation? You can always move the timeline with arrows or simply drag it where you want it to be (mobile).
