<![CDATA[mobile app differs from desktop app]]>I'm looking at my mobile app on iPhone right beside my Windows 10 app and the wave data are different. Everything else is the same, but the wave data are 1.2 ft on mobile and 3-4 on desktop. I just came from the beach and the mobile app is more accurate.

Just as varying state policies create unequal outcomes for food aid recipients, different altitude defaults between mobile and web views can distort comparisons. Verifying each platform’s settings helps ensure we’re interpreting the same data. Standardizing inputs, whether in mapping tools or programs, is essential for fair, accurate conclusions.

It would really help if both stayed consistent without needing to adjust settings each time.

The altitude discrepancy between the mobile and web versions could indeed affect the comparison. I'll definitely check the altitude settings on both platforms to ensure consistency in the future, Thanks for the tip!

It does seem like the mobile version is set to an altitude of 13.5km (flight level 450). If the laptop (web) version is cropped, it could indeed be showing the surface level. To ensure accurate comparisons, it might be helpful to check the altitude settings on both devices. Thanks for pointing that out!

Altitude in mobile version is 13.5km (flight level 450). Can't say what altitude is selected on the laptop (web) version because it is cropped, but it might be surface.

See the below image where wind for Sunday ( September 2024 (20 hours from now but current gap is similar) and the APP showing 96 kn.

Since I use Windy app with a Premium profile to sail I would like to receive clarifications.

Thanks

I know that and you can it see reading my posts here above !
But I was replying to @ABDUR-REHMAN-7 who was saying that forecasts are not correct.

While mobile apps are optimized for touch interfaces and smaller screens, desktop apps offer more detailed layouts and often support more complex functionalities. Understanding these distinctions can help users choose the platform that best aligns with their specific requirements.

Both use the same data. So it is not possible that one of your devices is more accurate than the other. Or there is a bug somewhere.
Could you show screenshots from your devices, with the same wave model and same update time of the model.

Here is what I got with the browser version and with the mobile at same spot.

Tides do not seem consistent when UTC is displayed. Strangely the discrepancy disappears when the times are not displayed in UTC (Z).
Need to be checked again.

I've noticed a discrepancy in the wave data between my iPhone app and Windows 10 app. While everything else appears consistent, the wave height on my mobile app shows 1.2 ft, whereas the desktop app indicates 3-4 ft. Interestingly, the mobile app aligns more closely with my recent beach experience, suggesting it might be more accurate.

Please could you show screenshots from the mobile app and from website to show the discrepancies.

If the mobile app's 1.2 ft aligns better with your real-time beach experience, it could indicate that the mobile version provides more accurate and up-to-date wave data. Trusting the app that aligns with your on-site observations is key.

What can we say? It depends on the area you are interested in... the models available there... the parameters you take into account... on what deadline…
