Doesn't work on Android either. "Cannot load radar images" Happens on both my Android devices.

Love the new features--Windy continues to be the premier weather app! But please fix the long-time bug that stops the radar widget from updating on my Samsung devices. All my other widgets (including other weather radar app widgets) update without issue. The problem seems to be a unique to Windy--that means it is fixable. Thanks!

With the latest release, the weather radar widget no longer loads--just a spinning icon. Deleted the widget and recreated it, and still does not load. (Android)

The radar widget vectors don't point to the direction to the precipitation movement, not even close. Off by 45-90 degrees.
Earlier today (1-3-2026), SE US, precip was moving due east and the vectors showed north. Now (7:30pm ET) in mid-atlantic US, precip is moving SE and the vectors showing N-NE

@Suty Not sure which settings. No errors. Same settings I've been using for years. Background and unlimited battery on.

Installed previous version and all is working correctly.

@northviewsp Same here. Says "Cannot load radar images" (Android)

Widespread lightning over the eastern US today. No lightning being displayed. Using the latest version as of today.

1. As others have mentioned the radar widget does not update despite ensuring all the settings are correct.

2. New topic (I think) :
   The widget that shows the model output allows you to select a particular model--that works. But when you tap the widget for the app to display, the model selected in the widget is not the one displayed. I have GFS as the model in the widget, and when you tap the widget, ECMWF comes up. Whatever model is selected in the widget should be the one shown after you tap on the widget.

3. On related topic, the ability to select a default model (using start up layer) no longer works. Please add the capability to select a default model as part of the settings. Thanks

@Jamitt said in Widget not updating:

REVISED: All the permissions were already set properly. Uninstall and reinstall, then redo the widgets made some progress. (Got a few requests for permissions again.) Rebooting seems to show the content of the widget (it was blank before) BUT, the Updating Widget icon in the status bar never goes away and the Widget never updates.

Problem has returned. When the device is started, blank radar widget with spinning icon. The only fixes are either deleting the widget and re-creating it, or clearing cache. Furthermore, the widget does not update. Reverting back to the previous version of Windy until this gets fixed...
