    • RE: “You have changed the Windy Icon”

      PLEASE drop the crown on your logo on the Android app. It's cheesy, and degrades a product which by any measure punches way above its weight. You have the best app, the world knows it, and the crown is just unnecessary bragging and cheapens the value of the fine work you've done.

    • RE: Windy is more difficult to use now!

      I agree. The old software industry adage applies here: "If it's not broken, don't fix it!". It's now massively complex, far too difficult to navigate, and the old UI was easy and fast to use, and simple to hide elements that weren't of use. And this new version is buggy and slow and should still be in beta - too many issues for me to bother listing them. Did you do any focus groups for feedback on this UI design? Or a beta program?

      Windy, do what Microsoft have done with their new Outlook design which they recognise is not for everyone - give us the opportunity to switch back to the old UI if this isn't for us. I'm now using Windy far less, and will surely downgrade my sub or look for something that does the job for me in the near future. I love Windy - but Windy no longer loves me.🥺

    • RE: Thailand down again!?

      Your Bangkok radar coverage is non-existent! As the other member mentioned, this is the peak monsoon for us in Thailand, and September is our wettest month. We NEED to know what's coming.

      Compare the Government radar to yours - there is no comparison! https://weather.tmd.go.th/bma_nck.php

      Windy us becoming massively unreliable since you turned your focus to a new unwanted UI instead of delivering a fine dependable product.

    • RE: Thailand weather radar is gone

      @William-Ridsdill Lads, there's a new app called Zoom Earth, which has accurate Thailand radar overlaid on maps. Not quite as fancy and feature-packed as Windy, but at least it's reliable. Ondrej seems to be a one-man-band at Windy, and though he works hard it's now gotten away from him I think. Having no Thailand radar, when both TMD and Zoom Earth have it, suggests a bigger problem with Windy. And all Ondrej can say is that it's someone else's fault. Not good enough.

    • RE: Windy.com for WearOS is here!

      @Korina Are you aware that in the Samsung Galaxy store (for Wear OS apps) there is another Windy app made by a guy named Farouq Omer. His app logo looks deceivingly like the real Windy branding. I can't attach a screenshot for you, but happy to send one if you email me.

    • RE: Radar outage

      @Ondřej-Šutera Your Bangkok radar is certainly not working properly. The two screenshots below show yours (I'm the blue dot) with no rain around me, and the Thai Weather Burea radar showing a storm on top of me. Time 13:13 UTC (7:13pm in Thailand).

    • RE: Thailand weather map not working

      @Ondřej-Šutera How about getting a new source? The Government radar works fine. See https://weather.tmd.go.th/bma_nck.php for Bangkok, and it has drop downs top-left for the rest of the country. This data overlaid on Windy maps would be perfect.

    • RE: Can't pay you!! HELP???

      @Suty Thanks Suty, but I managed it by canceling my Subscription and then resubscribing using a Thailand payment instead of Australia. All is well and I'm back enjoying Windy - without doubt the most-used app on my phone, and now on the phones of my many friends too. I'm glad you got away from Fastspring - they were a nightmare :).
