Mobile app in offline mode
-
Hi
I've noticed a lot mentions about offline mode for mobile app... but nothing is changing.It would be great if at least Windy placed forecast (and map itself) in a cache so if I'm out of internet connection I can at least see latest "version" and dowloaded map.
Now when I'm of the internet I can see only gray tiles... that is very annoying.

@Wojciech-Pietkiewicz Hi, we offered the offline mode in our web app in the browser and it has not a huge or anyhow positive feedback, so we decided to postpone this feature for mobile apps for now.

Hi @Suty , I too as an app user have interest for the change. I created Feature Request: Enable Offline Access to Last Displayed Data and was guided here.
Can you shed light on how demand of app users was measured? I imagine just deducing that from an experimental browser feature is not taking the right sample to measure for interest of app users.
Would this not be a perfect USP for premium users? Offline support is a very common premium incentive for tons of other apps - so something what potential premium candidates will understand quickly. And to my knowledge no other forecast app is so far offering this. Thus, cost/benefit analysis outcome could already be very demanding for the change -
@hgain Unfortunately, it was decided to not support this feature in our apps.
