      Is there any way to change the visibility measurement that shows up on the picker from km to statute miles?

        Did you ever hear back about changing the legend to nm or mi? I changed the settings, restarted the app, signed out and signed back in. No help

          To change the visibility units, you must do it on website, not in the mobile app and not in Settings but on the color scale.

          Here the visibility is expressed in statute miles.
          No help? Just need to ask here.

            Best I can figure, this is a system bug on the mobile app. While you can change the viability units from km to miles on the desktop version, there is no option to do this on the app. Since I don't fly with my desktop, this is a significant limitation and the Windy folks should correct this.

            Rebooting your iPad after changing your desktop version of windy does not correct it.

              Hi @wlsx501, you are correct that changing units is not possible in the mobile app. I will discuss this request with colleagues and keep you posted.

              EDIT: It is a limitation of the app, not the bug. I already add this as a feature request, however, there is no plan to add it to the mobile app.

                It works perfectly for me. You need to change the visibility units as shown in my post here above on your desktop, then units are automatically changed in your mobile app.
                But the questions are:

                • Do you need to change these units several time without being able to do it on your desktop? I guess you want only to have visibility displayed in miles (sm)?
                • Do you log in with the same account on both desktop and mobile? If not it can’t work.
