The first thing that comes to mind is: who's forecast is the most accurate?
I use the free version and the default model is wrong about half the time. If it's that bad for the free version, I don't see a reason to get premium even if it unlocks a lot of handy features.

I had problems with widgets not displaying anything. I resolved this by setting location in the windy widgets app (not the windy app itself!) to always. My phone is a Samsung S22 ultra. Now I can even use a different weather model instead of the useless ECMWF when I tap the widget to open windy. Win-win! 💪

I use the very accurate radar image animation to see where clouds are going in the near term and make predictions myself.

The other much faster and convenient way is to just look at the 3 hour and daily predictions but that is the problem.

The hourly and daily predictions on the standard model shown in the app are not accurate enough more then 50% of the time but maybe the other models are. Sometimes you can see no sun possible for hours but the predictions still list full sunshine.

At least the AROME one seems to predict near term weather better. ECMWF finally changed but it took more then 2 days to even show the current weather.

Apart from these inaccuracies, windy is still the best weather app 👍
