      I'd like to search for my street address and save it as a favorite and my starting location. This doesn't seem to work for me in the web or iOS app. What am I doing wrong? Thanks

        You can search your location by city or village name. Not by street name.
        However you can easily place a favorite in your street by zooming in at the maximum zoom level. But it won't make the weather forecast more accurate at your location, because the default model resolution in Windy is 9 km for example.

          @idefix37 If I zoom in and drop a pin where my house is located, is there a way to save that dropped pin as a favorite?

            Yes, are you using the website or the mobile app?

                OK, in fact you can pin an Alert at a precise location.
                At maximum zoom level, click the picker on the precise location and open the point forecast. At the right end of the diagram you can click on Alert for this spot. Then you may set the Alert details, give a name and save.

                  @idefix37 At the end of the forecast ribbon where it has info about this location, I don't see "Alert for this spot".

                    I have tested it as a non Premium user. It works

                      @idefix37 Well I feel stupid. I had to increase the width of my browser window to see it. Thanks
