Most recent update is isn't...
-
The most recent mobile update made the app far less intuitive. The menu now shows a bunch of layer thumbnails (many of which looks similar) with small text that isn't easy to see at a glance. It also seems redundant to pin selected layers to the top of the main layer menu and also include a new menu that shows only pinned layers, which clutters up the UI without adding any additional benefit or functionality. When viewing the forecast for a location, it seems odd to place the forecast models in one submenu then the compare forecasts option in a different submenu. The weather picker crosshair menu at the top slides left/right a negligible amount, and it positions the right-most option directly behind the red X button. This feels like a mistake instead of a design choice. I appreciate that you guys are always working to improve things but it almost feels like this update made the app more... cartoony and less professional. All in all it seems much less refined and I have to click around way more to access most of the functionality that is most important. What really gets me, is that with all the backlash over the lastest update the response from the team at Windy seems to be mostly along the lines of "bummer, guess you'll have to get used to it."
Seek not perfection, for the very nature of "perfect" is quite antithetical to the essense of being human.

@ianplumlee It's because of their arrogance over what is clearly as you say a 'backlash' I've (reluctantly) cancelled my subscription. SAD!

@ianplumlee Hi, thank you for the feedback, which is always welcome! We are sad to hear it, though. We will collect all feedback and discuss internally.
Also, regarding the pinned layers and POIs, you can easily access them by clicking on the "pin" above the "menu" button. More info here.

@Korina the update played it in simple words sucks.. accuracy has not been the best.. comparison was easy filled in that avenue of error..
If you retract the update you probably have happy campers... -
@sandy-turk Hello, the new UI update has not nothing to do with the accuracy of the forecasts. To make things clear, we visualize forecasts based on weather models, we do not create them.
