      The GPS driven "my location" icon has a "pointer" attached to it which live-tracks the way my phone (and I) are facing.

      My location pointer is 180 degrees off from the direction I am actually facing. All other apps that live-track my phone's orientation work fine.

      It is difficult for me to train my mind to register Windy's current location arrow as the direction my butt is facing when all other apps point in the direction my face is facing.

      Using latest Android on Samsung A52.
      (but all other apps get the orientation right and there are many)

        @RickJohn57 Hello, I am aware that this can occur, but it is usually issue on units of devices and we are not able to replicate this. At this moment, we are not able to fix this, I am sorry about that.

          @Suty sorry, but adding a calibrate button that offsets whatever value the device is returning by the module of this angle plus the set offset doesn't seem to be too difficult, and fixes this annoyance of the users rotting the cellphone to figure out if the storm is coming from behind you or from somewhere else in an unfamiliar region when you are travelling. Just adding my 2 cents. Cheers.
