Be one step ahead with the advanced features of Windy Premium! [EN]
-
@Flachkurbler Hello. The Satellite archive, Better resolution for ECMWF, NAM, Arome forecast maps, and Compare forecast extended to 10 days are all new features added to Premium, the rest are features that have been moved from the free version to the Premium.
-
@Ahmed-A-AS Hello, we are simply making Premium better, so that our subscribers have a higher value features for their continuous support.

@przemo1986 Yes, the ECMWF updates provide data for the first 3 days, 4 times a day. Then they update the forecast only 2 times a day.
-
@Korina ECMWF nie widać że ma lepszą rozdzielczość czym się to objawia siatka nadal ma 9 km Rozumiem że kolejne funkcje w przyszłości będą podzielone na premium i podstawowe ?
-
@przemo1986 Please see my previous reply. The data have a better resolution because they are updated more frequently, specifically 4 times a day (every 6 hours), instead of 2 times a day (every 12 hours).
-
The confusion probably comes from the same word being used for spatial resolution and for temporal resolution.
-
What about adding precipitation type to radar? (rain, sleet, snow)
-
I love the 3D feature!!! Thank you so much!!!

@Korina Ok, So, why your work ( making Premium users more and more happy ) is affecting other users ( free users )? Do you " as a team " ran out of other options? Shouldn't you discuss theses big changes with the community first as you can see that there are many unsatisfied users?
Being a free user does not necessary mean that the user is not a professional user and don't use every available features. I am afraid of the app becoming fully paid, and this will be an immense real nightmare!
Forget to tell, thank you for helping me in editing my previous post, really caring adminstration, but, if it is needed.

@Korina do you provide a company-wide subscription available?
-
@Ahmed-A-AS Hello, We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the recent change to our subscription model. Please note that most of the Windy platform features are still available for free, such as 50+ weather layers, 10 forecast models, or webcams. Windy also continues to stay ad-free, unlike most of the weather applications. We want to thank our subscribers and provide them with more significant features because their support allows us to develop live-saving features that remain for free, like the hurricane tracker.

@Rose-McCracken Hello, we currently don't offer company-wide packages. Each Premium license can be purchased separately, but thank you for suggestion.
-
@jasonsmoreland We will think about it!
-
Dear @jasonsmoreland for some regions it is possible, because data is available so we will consider it in future. We are planning more upgrades of radar this year.
-
I'm a big proponent of adding value for the premium users. What I am firmly against is taking basic features that were once available for free and moving them behind a premium subscription.
Also, while taking things away from your free users, you stated the 12 hour loops will now be premium, but it looks like 6 and 12 hour are both now premium locked.
Very disappointed in a once great product.
-
@TZ I spent 300 something dollars for unlimited access to certain features including a 10-day forecast and they have taken it away from me. How is changing what I've already paid for OK with Windy. It seems illegal.
-
I have to agree with many of my fellow Windy users. It’s extremely disappointing that every time I update the app now, new features aren’t being added, instead existing features are being gated behind premium.
-
@Conrad-Selzer Hello, what do you mean by 300 dollars? We never had unlimited access, only an annual subscription and one-time purchase. You are already Premium, which means you have access to all Premium features, including a 10-day forecast outlook.

@Jack426 @chrisp12934 Hi, we are constantly adding new features to Windy. In this update alone, we added a Satellite archive for the last 12 months, Compare forecast extended for 10 days ahead, and we also significantly improved forecast map resolutions.
Apart from the changes, Windy stays ad-free with most its features still free of charge.

I am having way too much fun with the satellite archive lolol
