        @Phizy Hi there, what exactly do you mean?

        @Suty

        The interface is not robust in terms of the option "pin to homepage". Items appear in semi-random order, no sorting capability, can't remove ones I don't want.

          the new interface is a step BACKWARDS IMO
          I miss the text menu and the in-build grouping of views (for example ceiling and view underneath clouds) ...

            @Phizy Can you please explain it in detail? If I pin some layers to the homepage, all of them are on the top automatically.

              Agreed, it's awful now, how can we get the old look back. Drop those ridiculous emoji things, I don't need them nor want them. The least amount of clutter on the screen the better. And put the +/- back so I can adjust the size of the map and not affect the city I have opened. As it is, the map adjustment is covered by the city forecast. This is truly a huge step backward. It was perfect before for my Acer Chrome book, I can't be the only one who thinks this way. Will someone from Windy see this, if not, how does one tell them directly to go back to the old look???

                @Coelacanth Hi, yes we see these feeedbacks and consider all potential changes. However, I have to tell you that is not planned to get back to the old version, but we think about adjustments to the new version.

                  It's hard to navigate quickly through layers, for example sometimes i need to check 'low clouds' or another type of satellite and the new process of selecting it makes it more 100% slower, plus every time i have to close the sidebar otherwise it takes 30% of map screen away which is a lot, maybe it's good for mobile or people that use only standard layers but not for others.

                    The new interface is terrible. It makes everything less usable. It may look nice to the eye of a graphical engineer. But from a user perspective it makes everything more confusing and more difficult to use. Please bring back the old version with a more text oriented interface, which not only offers a better readability, but also usability.

                      Please bring back the 'advanced feature' I like to see all my preferred layers available as a line of graphic icons - as before. Much easier to use.

                        Everything will be fine! People are conservative and have a habit to complain about new UI and features. Slowly will get used to it.
                        P.S. nothing offensive :)

                            I do NOT like the new interface - graphic symbols>no. Bring back the text interface please.

                            Could not agree more, the new just uses space better used for the maps Whose idea was this?

                              @Suty You should seriously consider planning to GO BACK to the useable version. Personally, I will not be using Windy any longer.

                                  @46er I completely understand that everyone doesn't have to like the new design on the first sight. However, I would recommend you trying to get used to it, since I think this is a real improvement.

                                      Terrible. One word to describe the decision to do this to the former interface, what now is a total cluster.

                                      Hot mess, no thanks. I'll go use ventusky. MAYBE I will check windy in a few months to see if this is rolled back; if not then I'll go ahead and delete the bookmark and stop recommending it to friends and family.

                                        You really hit the target. "Its not fun anymore"

                                          Agreed. The new UI takes many more clicks to go into things like CAPE and dew point compared to the old submenu design, it definitely is counter-productive.
