Respectfully,

The web version wind animations now seem to display properly, but the overall experience is degraded vs the latest phone app version.

Since I'm using the free version, I shouldn't be complaining, right?

But, some premium users have been & are also complaining about this bug.

This has remained an ongoing issue, & although a fix has been deployed via v.50 for the web, the phone app version remains broken, & this now well beyond the original "couple of weeks" estimate, given ~23 days ago.

Thankfully, there are other free weather apps that work as well, or even better in several aspects, including properly-displayed wind animations, albeit with not as many details & certain types of information.

I keep 1 of them as a backup; respecting the sanctity of this forum, I'll not mention that other product here.

Thank everyone on the team for their continued efforts in resolving bugs, including this one, as soon as possible.

Note that the mobile apps are still on version 49, they will be updated in the near future. You can use the new version of windy.com on your phones using a web browser (Chrome/Firefox, etc.).

Please let us know if you see broken particles animation on the new version. It works on the devices we have for testing, but since it was caused by a driver bug, it is always possible that some combination of hardware+software still has the issue.

Have you an estimated timeline as to when V.50 (the fixed version) might be released?

Thank You to all that help make the app fully functional!

However v50 is the one, which will contain the bugfix.

Our colleagues are already aware of this and working on the solution.

The process is a bit involved - you need to download their installer app, and click your way through multiple ads - but it works.

Good to know you're on it. I'll try to give a more precise description of what exactly I'm seeing: the particle animation shows a wind field that:

  • depends on the zoom scale,
  • is nearly (but not exactly) the same across the globe,
  • is most often near zero, but sometimes strong,
  • has a southerly bias (the stronger, the more southerly), and
  • at medium strength shows a zig zag pattern.

Looks to me (computer guy myself) like misaligned floats.

Thank you for reporting this issue! Our current guess is that this only occurs on the PowerVR GPUs in your specific phone models. We're sourcing a comparable phone for debugging now, as the issue does not show up on any of our current testing phones.
