<![CDATA[free items removed]]>I accept the 3-hour resolution
but not moving the 10 day forecast and 12hr sat. from free
I visit windy for short term forecast (5days max is fine for me and sat. in winter to have pre warning about rain), removing them will make me resort to other sites for longer satellite range.

that is not an honest response.
you remove functionality as 6 and 12 hours radar history from free accounts to put them in a pay mode
I support Wrecked

I will never understand why you felt the need to destroy such a great resource , for those who could not afford to pay cash, but did pay with our praises and recommendations to friends and family. (The best advertisement there is!). Again thanks and goodbye.

The best way to profit from this app would be a free version but with ads, and a premium version without ads for those who can pay. I love this app, and I understand how complex and best-in-class it is, but making it inaccessible to most people is not a good decision.

I have a suggestion that might solve the problem
have like 3 plans
a free plan with no ads but limited features like it is now
a free plan with ads and unlocked features
a paid premium plan without ads and exclusive layers/ features
the free user has the freedom of either enabling ads to get full layers and if the user doesn't want ads he will disable it and get partial features
not all windy fans out there can afford the subscription myself included

For years, Windy was a garage project of a few people here in the Czech Republic. They invested their own money to create such a wonderful product having a worldwide impact. Yet, it was still for free, ad-free.. and without any business model:)
To ensure sustainability, they decided to introduce a premium membership.
I was among the first ppl who subscribed, not only to have 1h forecast resolution, but to support the team and the whole project.
I go to mountains very often, and I am happy for having weather app I can rely on.
If you really use the app almost daily, support the team as well. $2,5/month is ridiculous for what you get.

Windy does not consist of just a few features, like the 10-day outlook, but dozens of them, while majority of data is still freely available for all.

We are against ads, and we will not add them to Windy.

Like why remove the 10-day forecast. and the 6-12h Satelite/radar playback?
All this info easily be found for free on other weather sites.
I use windy because it has a nice layout and user interface.
Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing an ad bar along the side somewhere if it meant we could get the features back.
I'm not down for paying $50 a year just to see some weather info.

We have been adding new features to the free version for years now. Just the last year alone, we added 22 features and updates.

We want to keep Windy ad-free, therefore we decided on this change. Some users may not agree with this, and that's their right, so it is ours.

I haven't seen a site as good as windy for everyday joes operating of their cell like me

Windy was the best one but they ruined it now :(

I'm so terribly disappointed with this decision. Windy was my go-to weather app for years. I used the 6 and 12-hour weather radar time range every morning to see what happened overnight so I could prepare for my day. I watch fronts as they move through my area because my partner has a chronic pain condition that is exacerbated by pressure changes. It goes without saying that I can't do that anymore. At least, not without paying.

I'll take the devs at their word and assume that this isn't just a cash grab. I'll assume that they do want to create and implement new feature for Premium users. Fine. Charge for those new features when they're ready. Cutting features that have been free for years does not reward the Premium users. They have the same functionality they always did. This decision only punishes free users.

The devs say they don't want ads because it ruins the user experience. That's their right to make that call, but I was a user, and I'd rather have an ad than a paywall.

I've seen paywalls like this go up with other apps and sites, and one thing has been the same every time: no one thinks to themselves, "Boy, this site just took something useful away from me. That makes me want to give them money to get it back!"

Sure, you'll pull in some more money, and let's be honest - that's the point. But you've lost a tremendous amount of goodwill, mine included.

I've uninstalled the app and removed the site from my bookmarks. I have to find a new weather app, and I doubt I'll find one as good as Windy used to be.

Fully unimpressed with this move. Please bring back the longer history in radar and satellite and 10 day forecast. All of this is available elsewhere, but having it all in one place is beyond useful. I will not pay for premium and will deal with it. There are countless people however that have relied on the removed free items that can not afford yet another pay service. Young sailboarders living out of vans. Indigenous fisherman the world over. People who live in isolated areas by choice on very low budgets. You could have done this better. Not impressed. I must go now so I can waste a bunch of time this afternoon loading yet more links and shortcuts to all of my devices. Have a nice day.
