Older version UI better than update
-
Hey Windy team! Long time premium member, and I've gotten many of my friends to use Windy as well.
The old style "picker" and wind prediction interface is MUCH better. The current version for iPhone leaves a lot to be desired, it stripped away one of the greatest parts of windy for me- being able to quickly scroll through a model forecast and watch wind direction and predicted speed. Now, I have to monitor the top left as well, which takes A LOT away from the efficiency of using the app for my weather monitoring.
I also find the new version is more laborious to go through to choose different models etc.
I hope in your next release you can include a "legacy version" toggle or something, the old version was perfect. This new version really takes away from what made Windy so special.
Please realize this comes from a good place, as I want to keep paying for the app as long as myself and all the others are heard, and our grievances are acted upon.
I cared enough to find this outlet and type this out, please do your part to see what it would take to give us an option to revert back to the old UX.
As a leader of a tech company myself, my feedback from users is very important. I hope that rings true for Windy as well.

Thank you for your voice. I fully agree and have a very similar view: https://community.windy.com/topic/27520/totally-disappointed-by-recent-update-picker-layer-list
Dear Windy-Team. Please realize, that by now your update with the major changes of the UI is now about half a year old. Still, many users complain and want to have back the old interaction process.
Why stick to the new approach, where you do not get any positive review but only harsh criticism? Please realize, that a significant portion of your paying users does not support the new approach.
Please, reconsider and check if rolling back some changes or at least provide an option to activate location picking as before is an option.

@Ftjwinfs If you're on an Android device, like me, you could possibly consider downloading an older version of the APK, which still works fine with premium. imo it's so much better!

@tuxcs_ Thats actually what I already do and also suggest to all the other disappointed users.
