      Please allow us to select the zoom levels for the widget and the app opening:

      Currently the widget (especially the big great one) is so zoomed out that it’s next to useless.

      Here:

      Even worse - as you get the same map if you open the app via the widget, you get the same zoom leve (quarter of a continent level) when you open the app. Then you have to manually zoom into your location.
      Zoom level is also too low on a regular app opening:

        @enterfornone Hello, thank you for your message.

        You can edit the widget zoom level by long-tapping on the widget > Edit Widget > in the bottom you can choose the zoom level in which it will be displayed.

        Now if you click on the widget, it will open the app in the same zoom level.

        I hope this helps. Let me know if you have more issues.

        Kind regards,
        Polina

          Thank you
          That helps… but just a bit!

          It’s still zoomed out way too much on the max level.
          See below - hardly would call that usable on a local level:

          So, I’d like to rephrase my request to - please increase the max zoom level on the widgets. To the max that the app allows, before switching to the OSM map.

            @enterfornone If you're tried to put the toggle switch to the very right, this is currently the maximum level offered by Windy widgets. I've let the developers know about this and they will look into it.

            Cheers,
            Polina

              @Polina-Nozdrina Thank you, Polina, indeed my last screenshot is the rightmost position of the slider.
              That's still too little zoom.
              It's best to allow zooming up to the point when the map in the app switches to the OSM map.
