smooth scrolling experience lost on iPad

@Wheats
thanks for the input
it looks like they have a bunch of models too actually
they are very young and I expect them to create more layers too.
they are also an order of magnitude cheaper.

See some explanations here:

It uses the average of several models but this average is weighted by local factors.
So it is a blended model.
You can check in your area which are the models use for the consensus average:

Meteoblue is particularly effective in predicting the temperature in the mountains. It includes an adjustment on the elevation of the location while other models provide the parameter by interpolating the values at the grid points. The grid and the orography model are very coarse which prevents providing a precise temperature.
This is just one example where Meteoblue is pretty good. -

The Windy forum is not a place to promote a competing application. You can use any app you want, but you are asked to focus on Windy here. -
@gael-reinaudi According to the issue with scrolling, we probably won't change this behavior in upcoming days or weeks. I forwarded it to colleagues, but it is not a bug and if it is possible to change this it has a low priority now to be completely honest.

@Ondřej-Šutera can you clarify?
Scrolling through time provides smooth animation pre-v39.
Now (post-v39), scrolling through time provides jumpy, laggy animations and the only way to have them update is to stop scrolling through time..... and this is NOT a concern?I beg to differ....I'm sorry but again, your mobile app was smooth, intuitive, pretty, and now it is not...and it saddens me that it is not a priority to fix the user experience.
-
@Wheats Do you mean version before 39 for which device? Android/iOS, mobile/tablet? I am sorry for probably asking again in your case, but I want to be sure before any other message.

Not a problem, my devices are android phones and PC's running Windows.pre v39 regarding the iPad - I assume it would have been better because they were using the website.
So I confess I am just assuming it's worse now on apple devices as well - given my personal experience with the android versions of app, the website, as well as information other users have posted on the forum regarding pre and post v39.
-
I use iPad, iPhone and Mac. I didn't see any difference in scrolling speed when V39 was released. Of course it is not smooth like the Satellite and Radar layers are. When pressing the play button, layers scroll step by step (about one hour step by second).
I do not remember it was smoother ... but it could be better. Fluidity is always more aesthetic. -
Just want to clarify.
In the past, when I manually move the slider through time - to see the layers update - the layer animations kept up with my scrolling through time. Since the updates, it's not smooth anymore and the animations can't keep up like they used to. I have to wait for the layer to update before I can move forward through the timeline. I used to be able quickly see the progression of systems over time and not have to press play and wait, or manually click or press certain points in time.
Hope that makes sense. -
@Wheats
this is exactly the problem and I think that people that are interested on getting the big picture of airmass movements are all experiencing the same disappointment.
For many of us, when the weather was "marginal", this feature was able to provide a go/no-go decision that are not to be made lightly (like for planing a flght). -
@Wheats We are aware of performance issues on Android devices since that update, colleagues already work on this, however, I am not able to tell you now when this will be solved on our end.
According to smooth scrolling, this can be issue caused by the performance issue mentioned above.
