Be one step ahead with the advanced features of Windy Premium! [EN]
-
@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.
-
@hidp123 We appreciate your feedback. But ads are not part of our vision for Windy.
-
@Korina The ad is an an ad whether you made it or not, working for you or not, static or dynamic, it has the same annoying effect ( deviatting your own ideas ). So, don't hide behind useless details.
-
@Ahmed-A-AS I am not hiding behind details, I just explained the difference. The Premium components are not ads.
-
@Korina Thanks for the input. Can you - please - answer the big question ( Is what you have done the only choice available to you right now? )?
-
@Korina Many thanks, Korina. I will let our team know. Have a great day!
-
@Ahmed-A-AS I think I have already explained our point of view and the idea behind this change. Do you have a more specific question? Thank you.
-
@Korina As expected and again another maneouver, the question is very specified; because this is not my first post in this topic. it is just you have no desire - may be the ability - to answer it. You should have told early, there is no any problem - for me - in that. Take it easy.

@Korina hi! Totally understand your reasons for the changes. I’ve been enjoying your ad free app for a couple of years now in my day to day operations for my Surf School.
I do use the long range (10 day) forecast for customers wanting to book lessons for specific conditions, so I’ll probably subscribe but before I do I have a couple of questions I’m hoping you can me with.
I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong but every time I open the app I need to reselect what it is I’m checking ( Location, Waves, then Swell 1 ). I am aware of the favourites feature, is this something I’m doing or will premium show me this info each time I open the app?
Thanks I’m advance,

Hi, in Settings see Start-up layer and location.
Without Premium you should be able to select your Favorite as start-up location.
With Premium you will be able to select Waves in addition as start up layer.
Or with Use last overlay, you can use Swell and your preferred model at start-up, but in this case you must leave the app with the same layer.

Hi, i love Windy and I'd probably go Premium if you allowed monthly payments. I accept this would cost me more but Windy are missing out by not having a monthly subscription. I like Windy over my other weather apps but your subscription terms are very rigid. Be more like wind shear and change your direction on this lol
-
you made windy worser...
because months ago everything is free (exactly) -
If the subscription price of Windy will not increase in the future, I think I will be a subscription user of Windy for a long time.

@idefix37 thanks very much, most helpful 🙂

@thanos7282 agreed.

I registered with the sole reason of expressing my dissatisfaction with once free features being moved to premium. Specifically the 10 day forecast.. thats a particularly cheap shot, as it's really the only feature out of the bunch that is used by the average Joe.
Well this average Joe can get his weather elsewhere. Another good product ruined by greed. -
@Cody-Pothier Hello, we are sorry if this change caused you any inconvenience, but the fact is that majority of Windy is still freely accessible. The 6-day forecast is free to use.

@Korina Добрый день! Как быть с оплатой?
