How to set/keep weather location on watch?
-
OK I’ve spent too much time trying to figure this out. I’m on the latest iOS 17 and the latest watch ultra ios and I cannot do the life of me have it keep a Weather location that I’ve chosen in the add location area. It keeps adding one from another country away.
I want Punta Uvita but it has Praha which I never have chosen.
I Do not keep location on as I work on a vpn.
I just want it to display a location I choose and keep it.Thanks in advance!!

I tap on the weather bar on watch and go to locations and moved Punta Uvita to top and then go back and now it is some place I don’t know where.
Barros los Mingos (not sure in this country). Non I selected show on weather bar on watch....it use too.

Ok, seems "Barrio Los Mingos is a new weather station (?) for Uvita Costa Rica....Seems same weather. Not sure why it's not called something Uvita as that is this area.
Anywho, works for now. Windy Is best weather app for Costa Rica hands down.
Ok, gotta get work done.

Well, couple hours later and it loads Praha weather location again. Doesn't seems to keep what I select once I tap on weather bar on watch, then settings, locations. Don't even have Praha in my saved locations nor is my location turned on.. So for now using carrot weather as works and shows my saved location weather.

The complications take the top location from your locations settings, which you can edit in the Windy on your Apple Watch. It's important to edit that in the settings, not in the forecast menu. Follow the steps and screens.
Settings (scroll all the way to the bottom) ---> Locations ---> Long press the location and move it to the top. You can pick between your locations or your current location.

@David-Polášek I've done all that and still shows a place I cannot find in google that makes sense and is not by far my location.
I've turned off since with iCloud as well and restarted Bothe phone and with...nothing changes.
Here is pics...don't even have Praha in location list to choose from but it does.

Hello @carpediemi24 ,
Thank you for reporting the bug. Widgets since watchOS 10 have completely new refresh logic and it is possible that there was a problem with the primary location. I've tried it now on my AW and it also shows me a different current location. I'll try to fix it for the next version. -
@SimonUrbanek Thank you thank you!! Love the windy app and don't like the others apps. So looking forward to the update :-)
-
With today's Windy update for 10.1.....Still not fixed for KEEEPING the location and still showing after deleting, reinstalling and more, the Fake weather of Praha. I have never checked the Apple App Store for an update as often throughout the day since the beginning of the App Store. Please for the love of your customers that love the App, Make it work on Apple Watch

@carpediemi24 We are releasing the new version in these days.
-
Ok. The 2nd update for 10.1 watch still not keeping selected location in settings. ONLY shows relevant "if" location turned on BUT cannot keep that on, as I live on a VPN for work and it will just show wrong location. Before iOS 10, windy would Keep whatever Selected location in the settings and was a joy and life was beautiful. ;-)
So bug seems to be to tell windy to override and keep selected location/place Selected in settings When location services turned off :-)

@carpediemi24 I am sorry for wrong info about the release, I discussed this with colleagues. There were certain and unfortunately more important issues with other features for Apple Watch. This fix should be in the next release from now.
-
@Ondřej-Šutera Hard to imagine what other issues could have been worse, since Apple Watch location complications are still broken. Ridiculous for a premium subscription app. Frankly, Windy is striking out, lately. I didn’t have any of these issues with v38. It’s been a buggy downhill slide ever since v39.

@gdtrfb Our colleagues are already working on the fix for this. Unfortunately, Apple made many changes in their conditions for apps for Apple Watch, so there was a lot to be changed on our end according to these regulations. Without that, it would be possible that our app wouldn't work at all.

Hello @gdtrfb ,
I hope this message finds you well. As was previously mentioned by @Ondřej-Šutera , I have been occupied with the recent developments surrounding Apple's restrictions, which have rightfully taken precedence in my priorities. However, I wish to assure you that I have not overlooked the matter of implementing locations in widgets.
In contemplating this issue, I have given considerable thought to the approach we should take. One option is to adopt a similar approach as with the old complications, where the default location was chosen due to technical constraints. Nevertheless, I am inclined to explore alternative avenues for widgets. While it would be simpler to follow the default location approach, I believe it may not be the most accurate course of action. Therefore, I have chosen the more intricate path, one that will enable widgets to support all user-defined locations on their respective watches.
I must emphasize that this decision will necessitate more extensive modifications within the application. It will undoubtedly pose challenges and consume more time, but I firmly believe it to be the most correct and comprehensive approach.
Thank you for your understanding and patience as we work towards enhancing the functionality of our widgets.

@SimonUrbanek I appreciate your reply, thank you. I am still baffled why it is not simply possible to manually set a location for my widgets to load. It would be more understandable if the difficulty was only in keeping the widget updated with a constantly changing location (for example, if someone was driving a significant distance), but it seems like there should be some solution for manually forcing a single location to stay set. The Watch App has the ability to pull up the ‘forecasts’ in the app of my pre-saved locations, why is it not able to simply load that same information to the widget face?
Considering Windy Apple Watch Faces have been broken for months, perhaps it’s time to remove this feature from your advertising. It is one of the most prominent features showcased on the App Store page, but if a feature no longer works, it is no longer a feature. It’s disappointing that as a paid subscriber, I’ve had to seek out different weather apps that do work as advertised.

I have the same issue with the watch face showing strange weather, -80C etc in Praha. I would like to follow this conversation to know when the face is fixed. Thanks!

@TNTDJ May I ask for your version of Windy and iOS/WatchOS?
