@petra-pik Update: The widget seems to be working again. I removed and added it, then when clicking on "Prague" as the location it instead took me to my saved location, then updated the widget after closing the app. It must have had data leftover from version 29.2.4.
Thanks for your prompt attention to fixing this!
@petra-pik I just received an update to 29.2.5 but the widget still shows Prague as my location. Is the fix slated for a later version? Thank you.
In this thread (https://community.windy.com/topic/16293/widget-location-error/2) it was suggested to set the startup location to a favorite location rather than using IP or GPS, however that's what I already have set.
It looks like there are a handful of threads on the same topic now. Perhaps they should be combined for better tracking.
If anyone has any ideas to try, please let us know. I've tried everything suggested so far.
I just updated to version 29.2.4 and the widget shows Prague as my location rather than my actual location. I tried deleting data, reinstalling, and logging out/in to no avail.
This is with an iPhone 11 Pro running iOS 14.5. Location is disabled for the Windy app as I prefer to set a permanent location for weather info.
Thank you for looking into this. I use the widget multiple times daily and hope there is an easy fix.
@Korina Thank you! Both the startup location via widget and subscription bug appear to have been fixed. Very much appreciated.
Appreciate it.
How do we clear out the announcement once it has been read? I keep seeing it every time I launch the app.
Great. Now I am having issues with my subscription and the app keeps prompting for my login to Apple ID.
Version 24.00 seems to have been pushed out prematurely in an effort to make money. I don’t mind subscribing but expect fewer bugs in return.
Hi, no, I have discovered a bug in the widget on iOS that requires location services to be enabled, otherwise the widget goes to an incorrect location when clicked to launch the Windy app. It’s 100% replicable in my testing. The previous version of Windy didn’t have this issue so it’s something recent.
Please see my post history for more info as this is the only topic I’ve posted about:

Thank you.
Anyone?
Certainly I can’t be the only one with this bug. I can replicate it with ease.
Or, am I not posting in the correct location?
@mmmmmichael said in Subscription BUG:
Mine is working fine! Sorry that your's is not working!
Helpful. That should make everyone paying for a subscription feel better about the money they've spent.
Any input? I shouldn't have to have location services enabled for this widget to function. That's a privacy conflict at a minimum.
GPS seems to be the issue. With location enabled in iOS Settings (which I never had to enable before) it opened to the correct location. Disabling location in Settings resulted in the erroneous pan to 0/0.
It looks like the latest update to the app expects location services to be enabled. But, I don’t want my weather app following me around so I have it disabled.
If anyone else wants to try replicating the above I can write step-by-step instructions.
The TLDR method is to disable location in iOS Settings for the Windy app, then click on the widget. It should open and pan to 0.00, 0.00 rather than your preferred startup favorite. This assumes your startup location is a favorite and not IP or GPS.
Also as a data point I tried logging out, uninstalling the app, reinstalling and setting up the same favorite location without logging in. The same event happens and it pans to 0/0. So, I don’t believe it’s an issue with my account or saved data.
I have location turned off and only allow it to use my favorite as a location. Since it’s going to 0/0 I wonder if it’s expecting a GPS signal and not getting one. The startup location is set to my favorite, not GPS.
Hope that helps some.
Thanks for the suggestion. I just tried deleting the app, reinstalling and logging back in. Exact same result. Clicking on the widget opens the app, starts at my favorite location and immediately pans the map to 0.00, 0.00. Opening the app via icon works as expected.
At a minimum this shows I can replicate my own bug. Now it’s just a matter of figuring out why this is happening.
Any other suggestions I’m all ears. Thank you.
I’m having a similar issue. When I click on the Windy widget in iOS I’m taken to 0.00/0.00 near Africa rather than my one and only location in favorites. Opening the app via icon works as intended but not via widget.
I’ve tried logging out and back in. I also subscribed thinking that would fix it. I don’t mind paying for features but not when they’re broken.
Hopefully this can be investigated.
Thanks in advance.
