@Suty it's not fun anymore.

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.

The new web interface is awful. It's confusing and a lot of features are now hidden. Please bring back the old interface Windy!

Also NOT a fan! It works on mobile but not on a desktop. The previous UI was much more usable.
You should do a mix of the two, with the drop down menus from the previous interface and the round images showcasing each filter in the drop down menu.They will not do it. They will never admit their work was in the wrong direction so they will insist old things can be done now too silently forgetting they need more clicks or be way less convenient now in PC.
On a PC there is no need to save screen space and make things WORSE/need more clicks to achieve something!
On old UI you wanted to see clouds and then see low clouds and then middle clouds? Click clouds and then it expanded to see high/low/medium level clouds. Now? You must fill your home screen with all these options. What if I want wind gusts too? Should I fill homepage with all these options?
What was wrongwith the old method of clicking and expanding and they had to worsen it??On old gui you wanted to see wind and see for 700 hPa? Select wind and then without clicking anything you can select any level you want. Now you have to extra click altitude and then press X to close it as it fills the screen with the extra menu.
Amazing stuff. Instead of improving it they had made it much worse.
And what about labels? How can you disable them now? Old UI had a javascript trick now it doesn't work. Reason I did not go premium was that they had not made(since 2 years I have asked) such a simple option available to remove labels(cities etc).
Now with all these ridiculous worsening changes I would not even use it. -
this is what android users faced long ago, complained long ago to no avail. Now it came to website. I tried to use website as much as possible - now it is the same sxxx. For some reasons - even when asking for feedback - app designers completely ignore these comments for many months, almost a year, completely infatuated with this bad and clumsy design. I find it shocking. Is this done for customers? or for themselves? If for customers - respect their comments, make it more friendly again without all these "improvements" bothering users around the globe.
I suggested long ago - if designers love this style so much - make it an option. maybe some people share this bad taste and impractical version and would use it. But create a switch that would display old style, clear and compact menu and info. Then you can still love what you did, and thousands of users really irked by this unfriendly idea would have option to "go back" or keep it simple and better.
But I guess they will never listen. They love this junky design so much no word of opinion can change it. I am considering cancelling my paid subscription. maybe if enough of us just stop paying - they will notice something is not ok. I would come back to paid when it is fixed. because they don't respect normal comments, and this "upgrade" is the proof. Sad. Spatne hlopcy.

Put "My favourites" just above first "menu" options. There is no reason to navigate throughout a big graphic topic to find what you need most.

Hello Windy development team. Would you in the future inform all users before you'll try to destroy something what is running well? The new interface is the best example how to make a flight preparation more complicated.

@Koss5
Are you talking about the new browser version update ?
Favorites are at same place
And the full list in the Menu as it was before.
