How to use widgets on all OS platforms!

gvoz

Hi, I've updated Windy to 39.3.3 on iPadOS 17.0. I don't see weather radar as a widget choice; is that only available for iPhone?

Some feedback on the other widgets: except for the day overview, the fonts are too small for me. If I have to find and put on reading glasses it defeats the purpose of the widget...easier to open the app. They look nice, though!

@gvoz Can you check if you have any possible updates of Windy on your iPad? Radar widget should be normally available on all devices.

@Ondřej-Šutera , no updates pending. And I am logged in on the Windy app.

I'm seeing the following widgets:

Premium Forecast
Forecast
Premium Hour Forecast
Hour Forecast
Day Overview

@gvoz Can you try to reinstall Windy and let us know?

No change, same widget offerings as above.

I noted one item in the app error console:

@gvoz This number of widgets is correct, if we talk about lockscreen widgets in vertical position of iPad, if you want to get more of new ones, please try to change the position to horizontal.

@Ondřej-Šutera , I am asking specifically about weather radar widget. It looks like I misunderstood the OP. Maybe the wording is a little confusing?

We also bring one widget that is not complex like Windy but instead simple, clear, and handy at any time. We think it is best suited for Home Screen or StandBy mode

The image underneath that caption shows both the day overview and the weather radar widgets. I paid more attention to the "best suited for Home Screen" and did not correctly infer from the image that the weather radar widget is only available as a home screen widget and not as a lock screen widget...particularly since the day overview widget is available for lock screen.

@gvoz Hi, you can add the radar widget, but not on the Lock Screen of your iPad. Radar widget is available as a standard widget than can be inserted on your home pages (standard menu with icons)

Hi there,
Any explanation why the windy widgets disappeared today on iOS ?
Thank you

Suty

@greg21b Can you provide more info about your iOS version and version of Windy? I checked the latest app version on iOS 18.3.2 and it is okay.
