God bless you for the mobile plugins. Finally, the PG map is on my phone. I'm going to renew my subscription...

Really appreciate the return of mobile plugins! Thank you for that.
However, with the use of GL rendering the minimum CPU usage seems to have increased for windy map views. Previously, disabling particle animations helped reduce CPU and battery usage significantly. Now, on my laptop at least, I see 70-90% of a core constantly used, even without particles. Lenovo T480s, Intel iGPU. This is causing my fan to spin up until I switch tabs away from Windy. On mobile, I suspect battery usage will be similarly increased.

Later this year, there will be an update for the sailing community as well. Hopefully Q2, not guaranteed.

Great news to see it moving forward, but still doesn't have an option to keep the isolines of pressure permanently on. Small thing maybe, but an irriation for what must be an easy code option.

Hello @hydev, for radar and satellite, it is about ensuring the data is trustworthy and accurate, as isolines are forecast values, while radar and satellite data provide real-time weather. That's why it doesn't work. I assume you're mainly referring to that?
For forecasted layers, the isolines should remain on even after restarting the app. The only condition is that you need to be logged in to your account.
I have noticed there is currently a bug and using radar and satellite actually resets it - I have reported it to our team (@suty).
Have a great day, Niki -
Thank you
Would it be possible for the "waves and Tides" selection to be saved like the 1hr forecast? It's a pain to have to click on that every time if you use it every time.
thank you

Hello @Simonsez set the Wave layer as your "Start-up layer and location" and add to it the "Remember 1h/3h setting". Once you open the app next time and click on "Forecast for this location" in the picker, there will be Wave layer as a start-up as well as in the detail and as a bonus, if you were using 1-hour setting, it will be preserved. Hope this helps ! :) Niki

With all due respect, I've been a paid windy user in the past for roughly 2 years and enjoyed the service, but with all of the obvious AI support behind the development and design of windy recently, it leaves a really bad taste in my mouth. For example, the recent splash banner that was basically a blog article written by GPT. Another simple design element that's really off-putting is the bouncing "go premium" box... Windy users are not children. I don't need you to make fireworks fly to direct my attention to windy premium. That just pushes people away.
