@Yves70 That's too bad. Each time I start up I have to zoom in thousands of miles. I guess whoever set the defaults lives in a larger country or uses some regional approach to looking at weather. Alas, there is no "one size fits all."

RE: App has no way to set Home screen Start-up zoom
OK. (But perhaps do like the Flightradar24 app, remembering the previous zoom through thick and thin (all manner of restarts, powerdowns, etc.)

RE: App has no way to set Home screen Start-up zoom
@TomSlavkovsky The user just has to adjust them by hand anyway after the app opens, so no savings. Or are you saying most users are happy looking at the defaults? If so they would also not try to set a preferred startup configuration either.

How to change the default startup zoom level in the Android app?
I found how to change the default startup location, but not the zoom level.

RE: Windy is showing me a webcam
Ah! I get it. That's what happens when there is only one webcam in my vicinity.

On Twitter, "?" brings up a list of keyboard shortcuts. Saves a lot of bytes,

RE: Alert menu wind direction should also include arrows
In fact I now notice the original "pizza pie" in the image indeed has eight slices, apparently trying to express the same thing
(that a slice pointing north is called "S"(outh), etc.) -
RE: Windy 3D mode is back!
It may be 3D if one wants to look at the whole world.
But I was just wanting to look at just e.g., Taiwan,
https://www.windy.com/-Weather-radar-radar?radar,23.546,119.020,9
and I saw the 3D button and expected something like Google Earth where I can
tilt the view etc.So for smaller areas it is just still 2D.

RE: How to set up a Windy Alert
@idefix37 It turns out the "suspend alert for some time" button is only available if one clicks on the link sent to one's mailbox. Otherwise for me it the pencil is just a "rename" link, like the last pencil in your image, the one that you didn't put a red arrow next to.

Android app lacks instructions
I just installed the Android app, and my very first impression is I can't find the instructions.

Allow making Favorite more noticiable
I wish there was a way to make my Favorite (that vague yellow ♡ southwest of the "N") more noticeable.
Even the camera in the southeast corner is 10 times more noticeable.

Three hour jumps are just too crude
- Visit https://www.windy.com/-Rain-thunder-rain?rain,23.790,120.624,8
- Hit keyboard→→→→... to advance time three hours at a time.
You will observe that for major storm blobs one can follow the logic of how they travel.
But for anything less, it is: how did cloud A jump to point B? Etc.
Therefore we see that three hour jumps are just too wide.
One hour jumps are needed to keep the cloud movement logic recognizable. P.S., no I am not "overly zoomed in for my own good."
The site does a super job with the little wind arrows. Now time to fix up jerky weather blob (cloud) movement.

RE: Addition of Fronts
As much as I don't like talking to robots at customer service,
I must accept it anyway these days.
So I would be, yes, happy with artificial fronts drawn by robots (algorithms)
instead of real weatherpeople. -
RE: Three hour jumps are just too crude
@Gkikas-LGPZ I see. Hmmm, it seems that their predictions are vastly different too. So I suppose you fellows made the best choice for default. OK.

RE: Weather-radar screen updates resemble inchworm (but that's OK!)
@korina I am not talking about the three animals.
I left the middle default animal selected.
I am simply talking about the way the clouds etc. move across the screen. They don't move as one clump. The left part moves then stops. then the right part moves the same distance. Sort of like an inchworm. -
Metric units should be on the same side of settings
In the app go to settings. Now look at temperature rain snow excetera. Some of them have the metric units on the right, and some of them on the left. They all should be on the same side. The English units should be on the other side.

RE: How to change the default startup zoom level in the app?
@jidanni I want it to go to that same zoom level every time I start the app.
