Weather Station Widget displays wind arrows in opposite direction (pointing the angle from where wind is blowing, not the direction):

IPhone equivalent Widget is displaying as expected.

Currently the closest zoom is so zoomed out it is almost useless as I live in a tropical area and only can rely on 64km radar range. This would make it way more detailed and helpful also if done efficiently it would likely clip the extent and allow for less demanding processinv as less data. Still love it

My widget displays metric units, despite the app being set to imperial. After double-checking the app, I rebooted my tablet, but the issue persisted when I again tried to add the widget.

Thanks for the report. This is caused by memory limitations. We will try to optimise the widget's memory consumption.

The resolution of the predicted rainfall got worse since one of the last updates.
I'm not Sure if this happen after an Android/ Samsung updates or windy update

Any news?.

Thanks for the detailed report. I was able to simulate this case. The issue was that the OS limits resources for the widget and it exceeded the memory limit. I have already implemented the fix, it will be available with the next update. Thanks for your patience.

The "Detail Forecast widget" turns blank after a short period. When I manually refresh it, I consistently encounter a "Failed to retrieve forecast" error.

Current Configuration:

  • Using default widget settings, with only one modification: 1-hour interval.
  • Location setting: "My Location".

Troubleshooting Steps Taken:

  • Allowed Windy to run in the background.
  • Excluded Windy from battery optimization.
  • Enabled notifications even in Do Not Disturb mode.
  • Granted location access with high-accuracy (GPS) enabled.
  • Ensured a stable connection (always on Wi-Fi or mobile data).

Device Information:

  • Phone Model: OPPO (ColorOS, latest version 13).
  • Storage: Sufficient space available.
    Windy 46.0.4 (19 Jun 2025).

Additional Notes:

  • The issue persists consistently and only affects the Detail Forecast widget. Other features appear to function normally.

Could you please assist in resolving this issue? Let me know if further details are required.

J'ai un soucis avec le widget de windy, économies d'énergie éteinte, pas d'optimisation de batterie.
widget est cassé, il charge uniquement la météo lorsque vous configurez le widget, mais après cela, le widget est vide et indique qu'il n'a pas réussi à récupérer les données, même s'il y a des données et une connexion Wi-Fi. J'ai effacé les données, mais le problème persiste, veuillez le résoudre !
Merci pour votre aide

Android version 13
Windy version 42.1.6

I checked all my settings in the app and the website. I got it to work by clearing all user data and cache. I then uninstalled. I reinstalled and made sure I wasn't logged in. I used the app and set the units to °F and added the widget. I then logged in and everything was fine.

]]>https://community.windy.com/post/191514https://community.windy.com/post/191514Thu, 30 May 2024 06:58:54 GMT<![CDATA[Reply to Widget problems on Wed, 29 May 2024 21:52:21 GMT]]>I'm having an issue with the Windy app widget on my Samsung Galaxy 21 with Android. The problem has been ongoing for the last 3 weeks or more where the temperature is completely off. I live in South Florida with the temperatures currently hanging out in the mid to upper 80s during the day and the temp shown is in the mid upper 20s and mid 30s. This makes no sense as the app itself displays the accurate temperatures.

The following steps are what I have taken to attempt to correct this matter:

  • Verified that the widget is not set to Celsius, even toggled it back and forth from Celsius to Fahrenheit, no change.
  • Deleted widget and add it back with same settings, no change.
  • Changed weather model being used for widget, no change.
  • Completely uninstalled the entire app after clearing out the application cache and stored data, completely started fresh with a new download and installation, set everything back up with my premium profile, added the widget back in the same manner as before, no change.
  • I have gone out of town two separate weekends to different locations, the app had no issue updating to my new locations but continued to show the inaccurate temperatures in the widget.

I do not know what else I can do to fix this, this is clearly a bug that needs to be addressed.

Russian language interface.

widget menu:
overlapping text
«Найти мое местоположение» & «Система слежения за ураганами»
It could be easily fixed if written in less verbose form,
«Найти меня»

typo:
should be «быстрого» instead of «тысрого»

also there is long words in menu items that is overflowing menu container (see the previous screenshot)

Thank you!
