Looks like they moved the ALL Satellite to Premium.
I'm dumping Windy and removing the App from my phone; there are plenty of other FREE weather sites.

Storm-Cell Tracking
Very detailed weather information. However, you're missing one important thing Storm-Tracking; delineating storm-cells Rain, Hail, Snow and MOST IMPORTANT CELL-ROTATION (TORNADOES). The storm-cell tracking should be updated with each radar frame.

RE: Weather Radar Sensitivity
@idefix37 I was simply responding to the information provided by one of the Windy Moderators Gkikas LGPZ, who stated "WX Radar data come (mostly) from rainviewer".
Again, regardless of the source of the data, it does not accurately reflect what's actually appearing when looking out the window of a given area.
As I've stated Windy.com has great potential, the weather display is significantly superior to other sites; the only thing preventing it from being the BEST is the accuracy of the Windy radar.
My purpose is to see Windy improve through constructive criticism.

RE: Weather Radar Sensitivity
@Gkikas-LGPZ As I understand it Windy.com is a customer, and not a provider of the radar data. You state that Windy obtains it's radar data from Rainviewer. If you have any input to rainviewer, perhaps you could request radar data of higher sensitivity; assuming Rainviewer is a provider, and not just another customer of some other source.
Again, this morning it's drizzling outside, but Windy.com radar indicates no precipitation.

Follow-Up: Just checked into Rainviewer, apparently they are not the source of the radar data either, they are simply an aggregator. Rainviewer says that the data they provide is free; well I guess you get what you pay for - lol. Perhaps, Windy could find a more accurate source of FREE radar data.

Weather Radar Sensitivity
Windy.com appears to have the potential of being a very superior weather site, however the radar sensitivity is too low. Too often it shows no precipitation when there is slight drizzle; or gives an indication of light rain when there is significant rain.
Although, as stated Windy.com has potential, the radar on Weather.com is more accurate for planning purposes. You have extensive display controls on your website, perhaps you could add a user-controllable sensitivity setting, or at least bump-up the sensitivity.
