      It is great, thank you. However I have a question - I need to set my default layer (radar) quite often again, after some while it is always back to Wind. Can you make my settings permanent?

            Love the new Radar+ feature, tried it out right away. Not to be hyperbolic but the Windy App saves lives. I know because it saved mine and other campers during a microburst storm last year that came outta nowhere.
            I will never be without this App.

                Radar+ is a good new view (thanks!) but.....
                Please add also Wind in the same view.
                This will help to understand what's coming.

                  Radar and Satellite are from observed data while Wind is from predicted data. Windy is not willing to mix them. At least you can enable Reported wind at weather stations (only Airport and wmo)

                      As a pilot, I’m thrilled with this new feature as it augments the usual verbal WX briefing intuitively with fewer clicks. Windy is my “go to” app for situational awareness and safety.
                      The cool part is that it’s almost like having a crystal ball into the future that’s actually quite accurate!
                      Thank you, Windy team for always being on the cutting edge.

                        Great development. Looking forward to using it in upcoming Pacific storm season.

                            It's not easy to keep a mature app updated and reliable, and it's even more challenging to innovate it. Congratulations on your courage to implement new features and your professional approach.

                              Radar+ is a feature I've contemplated requesting for sometime; very pleased it's now here.

                              Tried in several locales (no "weather" here 😁) & notice that Infrared from satellite view doesn't function as expected in Radar+.

                              A small glitch no doubt (perhaps the AUS data feeds not integrating).

                              Again thanks for this much anticipated feature.

                                Great app and the new layer is really good. I am a coffee planter (Farmer) in India and have been using the app for some time and the best app just got better in predicting the weather for my farm work for the day.
                                Opening the app is like saying good morning for me.
                                Keep up the great work

                                  That's awesome! The Radar+ layer sounds like a game-changer for weather tracking. Can't wait to try it out.

                                          I’ve trusted Windy for 5 years.
                                          We’ve sailed the Sea of Cortez and Pacific Mexico for the past 5 years and have come to rely and trust Windy’s forecasts. I’m amazed and pleased how consistent the information has been. Wind speed, direction, timing has been nearly flawless. Wave and swell information is an invaluable tool as well. Thanks Windy for making our Mexican journey a trip of a lifetime.

                                            I love! The Radar+ its awesome to see both Radar and Satellite your able to see things more clear and can bounce the radar off or the satellite to change things up. I love the 15 day out look forecast. Ive been using Windy now sense Dec of 21 best weather app out there hands down! Everything it has to offer on the premium subcreation. I also know in time its only gonna rock more! Id love to see the wind direction from green to red when it comes to see a tornado if ya cant make it out in the normal radar. Also a tornado picking up things it shows a clutter of i think, blue,orange maybe some red been awhile sense ive seen that in a tornado season in ne ok. Hands down the Windy App rock! Cant wait for more stunning feats.. to be open its an endless possibilities.
