Windy Mobile Application v39 - User Feedback
-
Good Day,
I am writing to you to bring the concerns of many of your users to the forefront (again). With absolutely no word from the development team and seemingly no interest in hearing what we have to say, I feel it is necessary to voice my opinions on the new UI yet again.
I beg of you, PLEASE, listen to your user feedback. A lot of the v39 changes have only caused problems for users who utilize this powerful tool on a daily basis as professionals in our respective fields.
My personal opinion,
I DO NOT like the gallery view - the list view is compact, organized, easy to read and easy to use.
I DO NOT like the auto-zoom feature - I zoom out for a reason, and forcing me to keep zooming out is not a useful "feature".
I DO NOT like the crosshairs - pressing on the map to select a location, and moving the map under the "flag" to get a more precise location was perfect.
The mobile app was user friendly, ergonomic, simple, elegant, and pretty.
The mobile app is now cluttered, slower, not user friendly, not ergonomic, not simple, not elegant, and no longer pretty.Over the years I have used this application, watched it grow and loved all the new layers and concepts you've added. I use it every single day as a premium user (on my professional email account).
With the release of v39, all you have done is caused me to stop using it on my mobile device and also caused me to stop the update on my other mobile device - because the old version is just so much easier to utilize in my day-to-day operations (as an Operational Meteorologist in Emergency Services).
There are many users on this platform who are voicing their opinions to you, the development team. There are some in particular who are doing so respectfully and professionally in order to HELP YOU create a more powerful and useable application for professionals as well as public users.
In my opinion it would be beneficial to you and your team to listen to them and take their advice and guidance into consideration.
Thank you for reading.
