New version is terrible
-
Before the new version, in the iOS app on iPhone but not on iPad, to select a location you had to touch the screen anywhere. The picker appeared in the top third of the screen as a flag in a fixed position and it was necessary to move the map under the picker to get the parameter value on the location.
I had heard from someone of the Windy team, that a fixed position of the picker was better because a big fingertip is not able to select precisely a location on a small screen. And by this way it was possible to hold your phone in one hand and to touch and scroll the map and timeline with only the thumb ! Try it, it works.
But I would like to know how many users do it like that. In any case this is not possible with a tablet which now use the same app as the phone. -
The new version is a cluster of errors. If it isn't broken dont fix it .
Please revert to the last version. I love to use windy for my school and teaching but it is detracting from the great info with all the bugs, drop outs and simple un friendliness that it has become since the last update.
I beg you to revert and uphold the high standards you have been known for in the past. -
After downloading, install the older version following the standard installation procedure. To prevent automatic updates to the newer version, disable automatic updates within the software settings.

@Pgt You get get old versions e.g. at apkmirror
-
Same same , really regret paying that money now, feel like I've just been ripped off. Works well on my android but terrible on my iPad, had no problems before and so many features that make no sense , bring back old version and I'll be happy ier or give me back my money

I completely agree with the other sailors.
You made a very good version worse.
If you want to play around and upgrade, then please don't move buttons to new places...
... but please find a solution in which you can download a defined region over a 3 or 5 day preview. That would be very helpful for trip planning. Thanks -
Several online platforms offer similar wind pattern visualization features as the older Windy version. Exploring these alternatives might provide a temporary solution until Windy hopefully reintroduces the desired features.

@Caefix this version to mark a point with dot and line is not available anymore ... very sadly.
I upgraded my chrome, my windy and also loaded firefox as a browser.
Your option in the menue with video does not show up. -

❤ Something works, at least on desktop: https://i.windy.com/a/548xr/5mo7xh.mp4
But I miss the option "Save at home only" and can´t delete it from windy page. :/
Maybe You need a 3rd party screen-recorder? -
@Caefix No thanks ... what else do I need just to use a wheather forecast ... in this case I also can use Predictwind which gives a lot more options.
Windy was perfect like it was and I can't understand for what reason it-cracks are allowed to test their knowledge in a program that can save lifes.
Please let them play on another playground ... not on this adults one 😰 -
@Siyeza It's incredible that they thought this was a good change. Having to scroll all around on the map, and look at not only the bottom of the screen to see what day/time you're on; but also having to watch the top left to see wind speed! It's wild.. it makes the process of wind forecasting extremely clunky. It was excellent before.

@BonniTyrai
In Settings keep the picker “always on”

HATE IT!! You could see wind and gusts in the same icon menu, before. Wind is only 1/3 of the true forecast, without gusts, worthless. Wave and wave hight are good if you are in-shore, offshore swell is key - can't see that anymore in the same menu. Pretty sure the developers there don't understand boating.
Was the #1 app for planning trips from Great Lakes to Bahamas - looking for something else... -
I can no longer easily find windspeed for a spot and then see how it is going to change over the day - the reason I use Windy. Why did you break a good app.
-
@Ftjwinfs I didn't update Windy app from v.37, which worked flawlessly for me. But in April they disabled all forecast and maps in v.37. I believe they will also disable v.38 at some point, unfortunately. So now I am looking for a replacement for Windy application.
-
@Pilot2121 Totally agree! What were they thinking of? The buttons for wind and wind gusts are separated so it is not possible to toggle between them. This new version must be for city people.

@Suty 我是中国用户，希望在爬山时根据轨迹查看重要的垭口或者比较精确的点位的气象预报，未来能实现吗或者官方有想法吗？比如查看积雪深度，在实际测试时差很大，能改进吗？

@zxc89228 HI, is it possible to provide your message in English? I can't understand your question from the translation.
