I understand not wanting to fully support both the old and new UI as you develop further features, but I strongly suggest you consider possible alternative solutions.

Perhaps there could be a toggle in settings to turn off the large "metro" design language style tiles, and use icons that are a portion of the size of the tile (e.g. half)? All the tiles seem to have unique icons already, so just use that icon (but larger and easier to identify) and then you can fit more icons in a row (potentially 6 instead of three in the screenshots from @przemo1986 ).

That alone, when combined with the existing pin feature, would immediately resolve many of the concerns that have been expressed here.

hello, any new on this subject? The menu's are still very messy and have not seen any changes regarding proper orders of the menu's, not even under the pin.

Cloud, Cloud base and visibility is still all over the place and the icons still make it hard to see which is which..

thanks!

When flying (VFR) I am using 16 layers. I am also using the different forcast models...
so the icons really look so much the same, like fog, visibility, low clouds and clouds are all 'grayish' so I need to read the little letters to find the right one.
I very muched liked where all clouds where grouped under a clouds text menu.

This is handy:

I have all 4 clouds 'under' one menu.

This is not handy:

(Sorry I was not beable to use a smaller image)

On the ipad the letters are really small, and the icons look all the same, and I cannot order them, tried long tap and drag on each image to move them around like we can do on iPad and I think Android.

hope that helps..

I think for most users that use Windy is about speed of working, not so much the visuals

As the OP said, I’m not a fan of the tiles for the sidebar menu. I added favorites but I thumb through a lot of layers so it’s quite slow to find what I need since when the images are so small they start to look the same.

Another poster said it best in my opinion; leave both options available. A “compact” option, if you will, that’s text based like the older style and then also have the tile system for less heavy users or those who simply prefer it.

Also, the new sidebar menu takes up so much screen space. I can no longer slide through from surface up through the atmosphere to get an idea of wind. I have to stop at each level, then close the menu to see. Then open it back up again and repeat.

For all my comments, I still love the app and appreciate all the hard work you all do!
