Hi, I am also not happy with new UI in desktop version. It is step back, not forward.
-
@davidscerba 100% agree, it is a change for the sake of change not for improvement (well actually, as you say this is a step in the wrong direction).
What we need is someone to go "ok, we tried it - it wasn't popular, let's put it back the way it was"
-
Few years ago, I decided to subscript to Windy, mainly for the use of plugins (trajectory, ...), and now you decide to remove it. I think I'll think twice for my next year renewal subscription .... as from now, Windy becomes useless for me without these plugins. All the other infos can be found on meteociel website .... so, no more add to pay for windy
-
@ghurbain even if all the info are available elsewhere there is no other site as user friendly and as beautiful and helpful as windy.
Most of the plugins are ported or being ported and they will be better with new framework.
I have no doubt you will renew you subscription because windy is the best and you know it When you do please don't forget to post about it and send kudos to the windy team for their awesome site 😘

@Suty thank you for your answer! I cannot see any group configuration of layers, unless you are refering to clicking on "more layers" first and then use the categories
-
@rsjorgenamundsen I hope you will like our new update. Personally, it is really nice to use it, layers in the menu are grouped and also you can completely adjust layers on our homepage.
-
@Suty looks better now,still some hiccups,but ill keep quiet for a while about that.thank you for considering us ol' lapp toppers

@Suty Can we please get back the static altitude slider (desktop)?
@Suty, I'm not sure who's responsible, but now I see there is now a way to use the altitude slider without having to open the entire side menu. I really appreciate that recent addition since the changes.
It's the best of both where it can be independently expanded or compact when not in use. That option is perfect.

There is one good thing about the new desktop UI, that is the convenient button to show isobars on the satellite view.
However, the rest of the new UI is terrible, confusing, much more difficult to use than the old one. The phrase "if it works, don't fix it" comes to mind.
Please, please go back to the old design. I'm starting to look around for an alternative.

Hi, Can I have Roads/Highways layer on my weather prediction map?
-
@rkh88 Hi there, no we don't support this now and it is not even planned at the moment.
-
@vicb Huh? Windy is not nearly as useful as it was a couple of weeks ago.
-
@Suty Dream on.
-
Trying to customize menu.
A pity I need to waste time trying to fix what was once perfect. But it is better than nothing.
I truly hope that you will add option to switch off confusing clumsy icons, and have menu as text only. So much more can fit, and less confusion with similarly looking cheesy icons. Personally I just hate them. Please make it an option to have normal text menu. Thank you. -
So glad I never paid for this service. They are showing that they will disregard suggestions from subscribers. It's clear that most find this UI distasteful at best and confusing at worst.
A/B testing. Adopt it, or get ready for backlash.
