Widget problems
-
-
As others have mentioned the radar widget does not update despite ensuring all the settings are correct.

New topic (I think) :
The widget that shows the model output allows you to select a particular model--that works. But when you tap the widget for the app to display, the model selected in the widget is not the one displayed. I have GFS as the model in the widget, and when you tap the widget, ECMWF comes up. Whatever model is selected in the widget should be the one shown after you tap on the widget. -
On related topic, the ability to select a default model (using start up layer) no longer works. Please add the capability to select a default model as part of the settings. Thanks

I have a different widget problem to those I've seen above.
On both my Android phone (Sony XZ2 Android 9) and tablet (Lenovo Tab 4 Android 8.1.0) I have a permanent notification from Windy "Updating widget".
But I don't have a widget and I cannot add a Windy widget to either and I can't get rid of the notification.
I use Nova launcher on both devices and wonder if there is a mismatch between this and Windy.
Any suggestions would be very welcome! -
Hi,
I have an issue when the 3 dots on top sometimes dont show the refresh and settings button properly, instead it immediately disappears. I made a video capture -

@Tomas-Navara May I ask which version of Windy you have? You can find this info at the bottom of the menu.

The Windy Detail Forecast widget is stuck on "cannot load your location".
I've checked all the location/battery permissions, deleted the widget, uninstalled the app, and still no joy.

Hi.
I am a new (premium) user on a iPhone 15 / iPad Air 4 with latest iOS / iPadOS and Windy version.
Is it a normal behaviour that there is no entry for Windy when I try to add a widget to the iPhone / iPad lock screen? I can only select a Windy widget by selecting the entry „Vorschläge“ (german, maybe „suggestions“ in english?).
-
@hotrs Hi, Windy offers various widgets in its own section, not only some of them in suggested ones.
-
@pandw Did you check this article? It should help with device setup.

@Ondřej-Šutera
Regardings the home screen, I have a widget section "Windy". But for the new lock screen widgets the section is missing and I can only select a Windy widget by clicking "Vorschläge" (suggestions).
Seems to me like a bug. Perhaps a localization problem? I am on a german iOS / iPadOS.
-
@hotrs Can you please send the screenshot?
-
@Ondřej-Šutera
The first screenshot was taken while adding a widget to the homescreen of my iPhone. There is a Windy section.
The second screenhots shows adding a widget to the lock screen of my iPhone. The Windy section is missing.
But I can add a Windy widget to the iPhone lock screen by using the section "Vorschläge" (suggestions), which is shown in the third screenshot.
I have the same behaviour on my iPad.

My widget goes dark after a while after rebooting. P40 lite. Followed all recommendations including power saving.

@tkalfaoglu Can you please try to delete cache and data in Settings --> Apps --> Windy?

My device is iphone 11, same problems on iphone 7,
Russian language interface.
widget for lock screen:
vertical dash lines look outplaced, probably they are lower than they should be
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!

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.

@Landon-Cahow Can you provide a screenshot? What version of Android and Windy do you use?
-
@Landon-Cahow yes I also couldn't get my widget to use °F. 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.
-
@Suty I am also having the same problem. All Temps are set to Fahrenheit and the widget is displaying Celsius.
Android version 13
Windy version 42.1.6 -
@mickm Hi, please try to remove widgets, then change units to celsius and back to Fahrenheit in the app. After that please try to add widgets back again.
-
@Suty Seems to have worked.
