UI-Glitch: Unsystematic order of favorite features
-
Hi, I am a user of Windy since a few years and a premium user since over two years. Generally I appreciate the functionality of Windy and it is organized very well with one exception: the order of the favorite features. According to my perception, already the order of the layers is not very systematic. Example: As a paraglider, If I check wind, the next thing I want to know is wind gusts. But these two layers are not neighbors, there are a number of other layers between them. The same applies to clouds - low clouds - medium clouds - high clouds, etc. Although I personally consider this order as not-systematic, I accept it, because there will be no general agreement of all users what a systemtic order really is.
But if you offer a individual panel of favorite features, which I find is a very good idea, then there should be also a way to put them in a user-defined order. One simple way could be the chronological order in which you add the layers to the favorite features. If there is already such a functionalty, it is very well hidden and I would be very interested how it works.Kind regards, Bernd

Hello,
In the browser version you can select the layers you want in the home screen and choose the order you want by long press on the icons and move them to Home screen.
In the mobile app, you can select some layers in the pin layers window by long tap.

Thanks for the info.. I use exclusively the app and I wished it to provide the functionality that the browser version apparently already has. Any idea why the app functionalty is inconsistent to the browser functionalty? -
@JG-B-2 Hi, since mobile devices offer smaller screens than the desktop, we need to adjust the UI for better functionality with this limitation.

Thank you for the answer Suty. I agree that mobile devices have smaller screens.
But what do you think of my proposal to order the favorite features in the chronological order they are selected. That would need exactly the screen space that you currently provide and would additionally give the possibility to group them in a user-defined way (arguments see original post) without being too complicated.Kind regards, Bernd
