      iPhone 14 last IOS, premium, the widget does not update its location ….
      I have to go in settings, turn on and off there and get back and only then the widget readjusts to current location.

      The app detects current location, no problem.

          I keep losing the date selection in the screen. For example, when I choose the layer temperature, the option to choose the date for the next 10 days disappears. Thus I can only see the 'now' and not the future. This does not change if I select another layer. It only returns after fully closing the app and restarting it. I am on the latest version of Windy and of Android. Do you have a solution?

          Exactly the same issue I've noticed. The timeline for the next 10 days disappears. It seems an error of the app. Is it possible to fix it?

              Please bring option to have a list to open like on the previous version. All the images makes the app a frustration to use and clutter the menu now. Was much easier to click from the list I wanted to open. Use Windy as a Pilot and all the images makes it more difficult to use in the air now.

                Do you remember when Skype was a perfect, quick, slim and loved app? Then Microsoft bought it and converted it to a sluggish, slow, overcomplicated monster crashing computers and phones nobody loved any more. You are now on the same path.
                I don't want a master-class to check my weather. I want a quick, user friendly, responsive smart app with precise predictions. An app like windy before this update. These silly huge pictures instead of menu - whom are you trying to impress with unhelpful, similarly looking pictures with tiny size text, instead of a quick and slim menu which is easy to read?
                The UI became cluttered, confusing, easy to lose details you want to see, just gimmicks. Maybe there are improved functions, but I can't see them through the pile of shiny junk you added. Clean it back, bring back usefulness, order, stability and clarity. This is a weather app, not a game for preschool children.
                I loved windy and bought license to support it. Now I won't renew it and will look for something else. You killed it.

                  Unfortunately changes are challenging. This was also true to the new version of windy. I was not happy, cause I needed the weather forecast for a flight! The "rain & T/S" menu does not have a time line anymore. It was only static. This was very disappointing!
                  After time it still changes. Sometimes the page is static and sometimes it has a time line as before... the same is true for "clouds"...
                  I guess the new version has advantages but I would really appreciate to get informed upfront if a new version will be released. This information should already explain the changes. Thanks!

                    to make Windy easier to use when you know how to use it.

                    Ok, so now it is me who does not know how to use your great, new UI. And it is not you who broke a perfectly working system.

                      @Flachkurbler exactly. You said what I wanted to add to my comments. Very easy to use - when you spend 2 weeks learning it, buy a new powerful phone that is dedicated only to this app so no lagging, or maybe a big tablet instead - to accommodate for unnecessary big icons on menu, and get used to all awkwardness. Very easy. Thank you! It is only us, uneducated users without master class diploma who can't appreciate this marvel. Easier still is to look for another, friendlier app.

                        @Holoboss such as what? There really aren't that many apps of this calibre out there. That's why I'm devastated by the failure of the app I'm Android 14 beta 4.

                          I love this app. One small request. Really enjoy the haptic and sound effect for lightening. Unfortunately it seems to to be a hit and miss function. It works inconsistently and infrequently. Would really like it to work consistently when there is quite a bit of activity underway. I have a lot of summer lightening in the mountains where I live. I see the little arrows, but rarely the accompanying sound and haptic. Thank you.

                            Jst a suggestion if we could get a feature to see METAR and TAF of airports enroute on click within given features.

                              @David-Polášek I really like this new update. But I wanted to give you a tip. It could be able to see not only the temperature but also the Thermal Sensation.

                                @David-Polášek the app and the website in general became very powerful and more and more useful. I love windy.

                                What I really struggle with is how laggy the app in Android became. It is so frustrating.
                                I am running it in an s22 ultra and reinstalled it several times, but the issue is always there. Thing that for example I am not experiencing neither in iOS app nor the website.

                                Am I the only one facing this? I would be very much interested in knowing if you're aware of it and are working on that. If

                                Thanks a lot

                                  @theaudiman App updated about thirty minutes ago and now appears to be working.

                                    Sorry for the my lack of understanding of this design. If I select a route by car/hike and and submit my speed, then why in the world would the units be meters per second???
                                    Who would take the time to convert from mph??? Surely I am missing something.

                                      See where you have to click to change the distance and speed units :

                                        Is it possible to keep the weather picker on all the time even when viewing a forecast?

                                            @vict90 happens to me also on S21 Ultra. I also find that the weather overlays don't refresh when following a planned route VFR (unless it is just a lot of lag)?
