Be one step ahead with the advanced features of Windy Premium! [EN]

@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

Dzień dobry,
Według mnie ta aktualizacja to porażka. Nie potrzebuję wszystkiego z wersji premium -wysyłam dane ze swojej prywatnej stacji meteorologicznej do Windy. Uważam, że zabranie prognozy 10 dniowej z wersji podstawowej to czyste zdzierstwo !. Dla użytkowników wysyłających swoje dane do Windy powinno być jak było. Nie rozumiem tej decyzji. Dodałem opinię w sklepie Play i opisałem też dlaczego dałem 1 gwiazdkę . Kilka razy przelałem pieniądze na rozwój tego projektu !! Uważam, że nie potrzebnie po Waszym podejściu do tematu !! -
@Korina Mówi, że przekazał wam datki tak jak i ja a teraz dostaję to dostaję i jeszcze teraz mam płacić za subskrypcję ? czy Wy jesteście normalni?

@Naxx Hello, we decided to upgrade the Windy Premium subscription as a thank you to our subscribers who give us fantastic support, which allows us to work on improving Windy and bringing new features.
I understand you donated to us in the past years, and we sincerely appreciate it. However, maintaining Windy goes on.
-
With all of these changes are we going to get displays of "Feels Like" to take into account Wind Chill and Heat Index information like every other forecasting site does? I live in Wisconsin. The temperature itself is fairly useless in the winter as the Wind Chill is what it really feels like outside.

Looking at the current reductions from the windy free version, I think some/many users will be ok with some ads instead of having to pay.
-
Are there any plans to add Dynamic Tropopause maps in the future? That's something I'd instantly go premium for
-
Dear admin. There was an earthquake in Turkey. Can you increase the 5-day forecast to 10 days?
-
@Korina You haven't answered any of my iquiries, instead you are talking about the app, there is no need to do so, I have already used all of the features that the app provides and learned how great they are and this what made me disagree with these new changes.
Relating to advertisements, you are now showing ads wthin the app prompting free users to be premium users, some of them is eating the screen area ( like the one in the favourites list and the one near the profile picture ), didn't you check this by yourself? What do you think of your users?!

Hello I am a daily free user for at least 2 years. I always checked windy app first for weather forecast and I appreciate the effort your team has made since now to improve the quality and the quantity of weather or non weather related information. Sadly I am disappointed by the fact that in the last update you have made you are removing functions that were already available for free users like 7 to 10 day forecast . I am currently searching for other platforms as I am unable to pay for windy premium. Forcing people to pay for something they already had was never a good idea.
-
@hidp123 of course they will lose more users by taking away current features
-
@Ahmed-A-AS Good thing NOAA still provides many 12 hour loops for free which was available until this removal of free features to those that cannot afford to subscribe to 20 different sites. I'll be uninstalling Windy at my next spree of empty time from not browsing other free weather data sites.
-
Thanks for pay walling more features! As I am unable to pay ANOTHER awful subscription (as everything seems to be a bloody subscription nowadays) Ill be sure to uninstall the app and find an alternative.
-
@Ahmed-A-AS You are mixing ads with our own promo banners for Windy Premium. That is not the same. We are not showing 5 10s ad videos within the app/desktop like so many other apps, that would actually be intrusive and unpleasant.
-
@N-Penney @crimson6858 I am sorry that you feel this way. We are not forcing anyone to purchase Premium. The fact is that Windy and a major part of its features is still accessible for free.
-
@Korina as I mentioned above, I think you should consider an ad supported free version instead of removing existing features. Two main features for me that were removed were unlimited favourites and 6h/12h satellite view.
We understand that nothing is free in reality, and how costly it is to provide these services. And beggars can't be choosers. But I believe this could have been handled better, and if it's a choice between loss of features or moderate ads then I'd definitely take the ad supported model.
