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?

Hello,

Wondering if it might be possible to have the Favorites list automatically load overflow stations when reaching the bottom of the list instead of having to push the “More…” button?

Also, wonder if you might consider displaying the favourite list icon as a heart on the homepage instead of the user’s profile pic, as it’s a bit more intuitive. I find myself always hesitating before selecting which button to push for favorites.

Love your app! Keep up the great work!!!

Cheers, Chris

It seems that pressing the ‘home’ button while in the Radar+ layer does not return the map to your current location, as it does with all other layers.

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

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.

@Ondřej-Šutera not sure it can be replicated unless you travel to the US… 😂

@Ondřej-Šutera iPhone

@Ondřej-Šutera this issue is still occurring… just happened to me again when opening the app in Honolulu. Can we find a fix for this? Not ideal having to constantly reset all your unit preferences…

Bump……..

The time range posted for a wind warning does not seem to coincide with the times in the warning description, nor the actual forecasted winds. Are the times posted in UTC? See attached screenshots.

Cheers,

Chris

Seems to be fixed now in the latest version.
