I would love to see an option for widgets to open the app to the view you want. (ie...the radar widget opens to weather radar view in the app)

I live in a hostile weather area and keep 3 windy widgets on my home screen. One of those widgets is the radar view, but I hate having to navigate around in the app to bring up the full view in the app. It would be extremely handy to be able to tell each widget what view to open inside the app so people can get to the information they need quickly.

Thanks for your consideration.

Was directed here from another post.

I am trying to find a quicker way to get my local/closest tide data without having to zoom way in on my android device. There are a lot of tide stations near me and I have pinch zoom a bunch just to get to the correct data. I feel like I'm doing something wrong. I wish there was a button somewhere when you have the tide layer on that would just pop up the data for the station closest to your location. I'm hoping this is just user error.

I keep 3 Windy widgets on my home screen, but I still have to use another app to get a clear view of the temperature and precipitation trends. No matter how hard I try to read the little cloud and rain droplet icons, my mind doesn't lock in the same way it does with a graph.

The winds are graphed by colors so you can instantly notice the subtle changes and trends, but you don't get the same precision by looking at icons that you would with a graph. I realize that the app is called Windy for a reason, but I don't see why it couldn't highlight other data as well in optional widgets. I would certainly love to only keep a single weather app. The information is in there already, just not in an easy accessible way.

Thanks as always for the great app, and your consideration.

This is a couple years after my first post to this thread and I still find myself using other apps to check the tides. (Ones with graphs) First of all it's quicker unless I keep my tides layer active, and it's just easier to read.

You can absolutely discern the information you need from how the information is presented in Windy, but it's so much easier to consume and see the entire picture when it's plotted over time and height. You can quickly spot aberrations at a glance instead of having to read text. One of the very best things about Windy is the colored wind bar/graph. I only wish the same could be applied to other data as well.

It could be one of the "Display as:" options that launch other graphs that Windy already uses. (Wave, WInd, Meteor., etc...)

Hi,
I'd like to say that I love the constant improvements to the app. It just keeps getting better and better. 🙏

There are a couple of things I thought could make it even better.

The first is that when you open the hurricane tracker that the view would be zoomed to a level that includes your currently selected location. That way you can easily see how it relates to you without excessive zooming out and trying to find where it is. Maybe then add a quick way to zoom into the view that opens now.

Also, I've posted before, but I'd still love to see a visual graph instead of a list of numbers for the tides. After using visual graphs in my other dedicated tide apps over the years, I just can't get the same feel of the data by looking at a list of numbers. Windy has always been a very visual app, and I hope you'll consider applying that same design philosophy to your tide data.

Thanks!
