Does this mean you can plot out an ideal path based on weather criteria? Because I've been using the app to find the coolest place to camp each night as I make way through the desert, and it's pretty tedious. Can I now say, "this is my destination" and "find the relative coolest point along the route" (taking into consideration the temperature at 10pm, and also at 10am the next day)? That would be rad if I can do that!

RE: Widget display
@idefix37 Do you know if there's a way to not display that? It just feels like a waste of real estate.

How do I set viewing preferences?
Every time I open the app, I'm presented with certain data that I don't need or care about, and it's a minimum of 4 clicks to get the data I do want to display. All your UXers will tell you how that affects cognitive load (and especially when you're in a rush, it's just irritating that the app can't remember that I'm looking for XYZ every single time, and never ABC). Is there a way to set my viewing preferences so I'm not presented with the stuff I don't care about, and can more quickly see the stuff I do care about?
This, for reference, is what I'm presented with. The whole bottom half of the screen is redundant. (It's exactly what's displayed on the widget that I clicked on to get to the main app.) And, while I realize the name of the app is "windy," frankly I don't care about wind as much as other climate data. I'd rather have to take the extra clicks to see wind data, and have more useful information presented first. (You have lots of weather data, after all, it's not just a wind app.)

RE: Settings won't save
@idefix37 Yep. Did that. Didn't fix anything. That's why I filed the bug report.

RE: Windy launches Route Planner
@marekd How do I use this? I don't see "distance & planning" anywhere in the menus...

RE: Widget display
Yeah, except it doesn't respect the preferences I've entered into the settings. It's finally reflecting Farenheit, but still won't give me 12H time format. And I still have no idea what those bottom 2 rows of numbers are. Can I make those go away?
Here you can see that I've specified 12H format:
And here you can see that the widget is giving me 24H format, along with a whole bunch of numbers that I have no idea what they are...

Widget display
I'm trying to understand the information on the widget. It's just a bunch of numbers with no labels. The first row seems to be a display of different times of day (in military format, which I'd really prefer to see in 12H format). Then there's the temperature (in Celsius, which I'd really prefer to change to Farenheit), then there are two rows of numbers that I have no idea what to think about. What is all is this, and can we have a simpler/customizable widget display?

Settings won't save
I've just downloaded Windy, set my settings (specifically requesting Farenheit), but everything in the app and widget continue to display the temperature in Celsius.
