      In 30 years as a merchant mariner and a bit longer as yachtie, I must say that (according to me) Windy is the best evolution of the Marine Radiofax Charts. If those images were (are) worth a thousand words, then Windy's "particles animation" deserves the infinity symbol. Glad to see that the Route Planner (which I use a lot) has been enhanced in the app to resemble the web version. Since there is always room for improvement, it would be great if the planner would support also other models and not only the ECMWF. Another great feature in general would be the option to "Compare forecasts" for "Wave&Tide". Many thanks for allowing us to comment. Wonderful job.

        I've heard about Windy from my friends that do sailing. They all say that they are using Windy for years now and that it's most trusted app when they are sailing. So I tried it for myself and are amazed with all possibilities that this app offers. So great to plan what to wear every day, plan your free time, travelling, but especially to avoid natural disasters and tragedies.

          Impressed with the new features! Well except for the "How to use it" screen that doesn't seem to have a way out other than quitting Windy and restarting?

            This is a great advancement. It keeps me abreast of all my local weather changes. It's the best Hurricane tracker! I wish I could use KML files to insert my points of interest!

              I would like to use more of your services, 90% of your sight is excellent , but unlike your name suggests you give terrible info. on the mph of the wind. In the middle of hurricane Milton you were reporting winds at 35mph if you are that far off on wind speeds how can we trust the rest of your information?

                  Not sure why this announcement has started appearing again in a banner.
                  Especially since the Radar+ does not seem to be reliable - today in the browser I just get the pulsing circle without radar or satellite although separately radar and satellite are available. In the app, Radar+ is working but sometimes the reverse it true.

                    You probably turned off the buttons SAT and RAD at bottom of screen. They must be ON.

                    In the mobile app, click first on the 3 dots.

                          And these related posts.

                            I'm Ultralight Pilot. Route Planner is one of the the best feature for me. (other features also). I very much welcome improvements to this. I'm very happy with windy pro.

                              I’m trying the radar+ and liking it so far. My work is weather based so this will be key for me. Thank you

                                As a seasonal boat Captain on western Lake Superior, (the Boss) the Boss will teach you some harsh lessons. A Captains failure to learn what conditions are and what they may become is written in the news.

                                  Liking the Radar+ layer.
                                  15 day forecast is interesting.
                                  Just discovered where the planner is. Need to play with it, but I like the details provided.

                                  Excellent development.
                                  Cheers!

                                      Awesome application, very well laid out and intuitive to navigate. It's my go-to weather resource and I share it with everyone! Thank you for the great work.

                                        Happy to see the extended range forecast! Radar+ was already a great tool.

                                        Even though we're in the high desert of the American West I enjoyed sharing tracking and visualizations with my mother during these recent hurricanes, she appreciated seeing the tracks, the cloud and radar views, and all the other visualizations. Keep up the good work!

                                          When I open the app it doesn't default to my location. Very disappointing.

                                            @metdvm Can you share the default location setting, that you use in your device?
