Love the new nowcasting feature, but it would be great if there was a way to easily return to the most recent actual radar image (middle of the slider). For example, you could place a ‘detent’ in the middle of the slider so that it would snap in place when near, or possibility double-tapping the slider would return it to the ‘now’ position.

I think he means the one we just clicked on to read this post. I agree - once read it should go away.

I would LOVE to receive alerts as push notifications!!!

Also, it would be great to set notifications for your 'current location' - not just for specific locations - so that as you move around alerts are relevant to where you actually are (i.e. when travelling).

Thanks for an absolutely amazing app!!!!

Currently, lightning is combined with the radar layer. It would be great if lightning could be made an optional, standalone layer - just like pressure isolines - so that it could be combined with any other layer, such as radar, satellite, etc. This would be especially useful now that you have provided several other excellent thunderstorm tracking tools such as the infrared satellite later.

Would this at all be something you would consider?

Thank you very much for fixing this issue - v28.0.3 looks great on the iPhone 12 Pro!!!!

Also, thank you for the new iOS 14 widget!

Keep up the great work... 👍

Thank you for removing the banner!

Those losing their minds about the use of “girls” need to chill out. Windy is from Europe, where they still use common sense in regards to language - unlike here in North America, where many read into and sensationalize the smallest nuances of words to make a statement. There is no infringement on equality or rights to see here... move on.

Hello,

Those of us who have a long list of favorites have to push the “more” button at the bottom of the list that loads the next part of list. Just wanted to suggest that maybe loading the rest of the list could happen automatically when reaching the bottom of the list instead of having to push the button. This would streamline the use of the list for users with many saved favorites.

Thoughts?

Cheers,

Chris

@Ondřej-Šutera yes, turning that option back on fixes the issue; however, I prefer to have it selected off, so I’m glad to hear a fix is being worked on.

I use English language as well.

As the other users have reported, this wasn’t an issue until the latest update.

@Korina I agree, the banner needs to go. It’s fine if it’s there initially, but should disappear as soon as the article is read.

@Korina here’s a good example of how combining the lightning layer with the satellite IR layer is helpful in locating thunderstorms. This screenshot is from another product we use in the aviation world. I’d love to be able to get the same info from Windy’s far superior satellite resolution and interface!

Hi @Suty, just following up to see if there's been any movement on this. Every time I use the radar I feel the need to have a way to return to the "now" image. With space being a limitation, a detent in the middle of the slider or a double tap on the slider might be the best way to go.

There's also another ongoing issue with the slider "jumping" to a different location after moving it. This has been going on for some time now, and affects both the radar and satellite, and perhaps other animations as well. Since there's no way to record my input on a screen recording, I took a video of the issue from another device.

@Suty great, thank you! Totally understand with the space limitation. That’s why I think a center detent with a haptic click would be the best implementation.

@Suty it is both in the iOS app and on the website. But I wouldn't really describe it as a problem; more so just a missing/desired feature. After panning through the historical and predicted radar timeline, it is often desired to return to the 'now' view, and with the slider there is no way to ensure it is centred. Ideally, the centre position would have a detent (it will jump to the centre when nearby) and have an associated haptic click. But a button or a gesture of some sort to force it to centre would also work. As I mentioned, I've brought this up in the past and I'm pretty sure it was implemented, but then at some point it disappeared. Hope this is something you'll consider adding again!

With the new(ish) forecast radar functionality, there needs to be some way to easily return to the “now” view. This could be a detent in the slider, a button or a gesture. As it stands, it is very difficult to position the slider exactly to the “now” position. I’m pretty sure a detent of sorts was previously implemented, but somehow it disappeared in one of the last few updates.

Hi @Suty, this is great news - thank you very much!!

Bumping this topic to see if there is any chance it could be implemented in a future version...

@Ørjan-P-Stien, sorry for the delay in getting back to you - and thank you so much for the advice! Yes, it sounds like we live in a very similar climate, so your experience here is valuable. I will definitely take a look at the Vantage Pro. I have always preferred to spend a little bit extra and buy something that is good quality once vs. constantly replacing it, and this seems to be the case here.

I look forward to those butterflies! Happy Holidays!!!

Cheers,

Chris

Thanks for the reply, @Ørjan-P-Stien! I live in Canada near the Pacific Ocean, so it would be a wet environment and certainly some exposure to salt air. Which of those units would you suggest for use in this climate?

Hello,

I'd like to purchase my first personal weather station that provides basic temp/dewpoint/wind info and can be fed back into the Windy network. I'm fairly well-versed in the world of met, as it is a big part of my profession, but I am completely new to personal weather stations. Which product would the experienced users recommend for my case?

Cheers,

Chris

Any thoughts on this?
