I do NOT like the new interface :-(

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 :) -
@Suty it's not fun anymore.

@WeatherMonk said in I do NOT like the new interface :-(:
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.
-
@dariusmil I think people will move elsewhere, I am.
-
@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.
-
@Suty this is called "eat or die"
-
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.

@ortlepp
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.

I don't like the new interface either. Why do you geeks have to get "creative" and ruin the interfaces on many programs just because you are bored?
I never have received a reply from Windy when I asked questions in the past so I don't expect anything this time, but it won't matter because I am done using Windy. I subscribed to the premium a few years ago and the only difference was my bank account. It was reduced by the "premium" fee, but nothing else changed and I was never contacted. I have asked many times for some information regarding the different options, but no one replied so I have used it the same way for years. Now you have ruined the interface so I am done! -
@GeorgeCGeorge
Did you read the reply to your only previous post ?

Hi. The ECMWF model came out around 10:30 a.m. DST. Now it comes out 2 hours later on Windy. For what ? It's the same problem for ICON and GFS.
These models are released more than 2 hours late compared to the old interface. -
@46er In addition, the zoom in/out button are hidden behind the meteogram forcing the user to close the meteogram to fine tune their location.
