Any plans for a UI redesign?

Hi Windy team,
I was wondering if you have any plans to update and modernize the app’s interface and overall design. In my opinion, the current look feels a bit outdated compared to today’s app standards.
I think an app with such powerful features deserves a more modern and polished design. A refreshed interface would make the user experience even better and would help the app look as good as it performs.
Thanks again for all your hard work.

Thanks for your reply!
I don’t think Windy needs a complete redesign. The functionality is already excellent, and I wouldn’t want that to change.
What I mean is more of a visual refresh. For example:
- More modern buttons and controls, with a cleaner and more polished look.
- Updated colors and a more vibrant visual style. Some parts of the interface (grey backgrounds, red buttons, etc.) feel a bit dated.
- Smoother animations and transitions to make the app feel more fluid.
- A refresh of some UI elements, such as the timeline and layer controls (especially Radar and Satellite), which currently remind me of apps from 10 years ago.
- Better spacing, typography and icons to give the app a more premium feel without changing how it works.
I think apps like Instagram, Apple apps, or other modern mobile apps are good examples of interfaces that feel clean, elegant and up to date.
Windy is one of the best weather apps available, and I simply feel that its visual design should match the quality of its features.
