@Henry_K If you don't see added value in the 10-day forecast outlook, then you can still use 6-day forecast for free.
You mean 5.5 day forecast remember, your own ads are covering your own content on the final day. What a terrible thing to do to the free users, covering your own forecast with ads, the very thing you promised you weren't doing.
The reason for the cursing is the frustration caused by the obvious lying that's happening on your part, on the one hand you say this:

@whitmart14 As I mentioned in my previous response, we put a great emphasis on user experience, this is why we continue to avoid displaying ads, as they would be incredibly frustrating to the majority of users.
On the other hand, anyone still using the service for free can CLEARLY see what I'm talking about, your own ads covering your own content. If you're serious about your answers at least tell the truth. This "6 day forecast" is partly covered by one of your own ads. You can hardly stay true to the product when you're not even considering what's being written by others. Drawing attention to the fact that I used a curse word is just deflection from the fact that YOUR OWN ADS COVER YOUR OWN 6 DAY FORECAST.
@burrelltb Additional to this, it's not even functionally a 6 day forecast, if you click on an area to get the 6 day forecast, half of the final day's wind data is actually obscured by the advert for getting people to try and pay for the subscription to get the 10 day forecast. So it hasn't even gone from 10 days to 6 days, it's 10 days to 5 and a half.
The hilarious part of this is the bit where you're saying it's so us free users don't have the fucking inconvenience of ads effecting our user experience, absolute bollocks. You've literally used your own ad to spoil half that day's wind forecast with not a tiny little thought for the free users. Just goes to show the reasons you're giving boil down to "mo money plx".
@Korina So many apps out there money grabbing, the biggest regret I have now is recommending Windy to so many people. Hopefully there will be enough negative press about this decision to see it changed. I can't think that the normal userbase of windy is going to see this as anything other than shocking given that this information has been available to normal non subscribers for years it's obviously affordable to continue to do so.
Comparing it to other services is not as effective as comparing it to itself only a week ago, when all us complainers that aren't paying the money could access the same information we've been accessing for literally years on end.
In light of the recent change does anyone have any suggestions for alternatives to Windy.com that do have a 10 day forecast? There are plenty of websites for weather but is there anything as good as Windy that provide this service for free?
