Hi Ivo and team, I've only had an hour to play with the app so far but I think it's a huge progress jump in UX. Thanks!!!

I've not seen any loss of functionality or detail that some people mentioned - things just moved to a new or more intuitive menu. Might take people a couple of hours use to find what they are used to and learn where it is now. Nobody likes that type of change initially, but I think what you guys have done here is fantastic. I'll update later. Great job!

Edit: everyone had their own reasons to use this app. Mine is I fly quadcopters. The wind bar and rain drops in the widget quickly let's me see when suitable flying days are coming. Love it.

Using 12.34 but still see the issues updating the widget. Sometimes location cannot be found, other time the refresh wheel in the top right of widget just remains spinning. Need to remove and add widget again to address the issue.
Sometimes I note the temperature is way off compared to reality. It's just a case of the app hasn't refreshed correctly.
Love the app. When widget issues solved, it will be the best. :)

Love the update. Map update looks sharp and more clarity. Love the menu system. App is my favourite and would gladly pay or donate towards it. Really fantastic work all. Thank you!

See this often on the widget. Surely the widget should always display the last successful retrieval rather than this?

My widget works, but it only shows 4 days since the last update. It used to show 5 days. Is this by design?

How often does widget update automatically and can it be configured. I noticed sometimes my temperature is wrong (afternoon still showing morning temp) so I hit refresh and it's updated. Should it update automatically every hour?

The image shows the same location information within the app and from the widget. The rain drops look in different hours though?
Any ideas why? Image here https://imgur.com/a/7RLp4
Thanks

I use a VPN and the widget now often finds my location as London(VPN location) even though I'm physically in Dublin. When I click refresh on the widget it immediately finds the right area of Dublin.
This never happened in the last year. It's only started this week since either the app was updated or my phone was updated to Android 11. I have enabled all location permissions for the app so not sure why this is happening.

@idefix37 thanks! That actually makes perfect sense.

Another issue I noticed is that the widget on one of my phone screens is stuck in a refresh loop. The refresh icon constantly spinning. I have the widget on another page on the phone and it's fine. You click refresh and it refreshes and stops spinning. Not sure how this one got stuck in the loop like this. I removed it and added it again to resolve.

@idefix37 I just want to clarify, I did not post 6 identical messages. 🤷I replied to several threads about the widget and used a screenshot to lend my support and feedback to the threads in question.

You can probably sense my frustration that the widget has been essentially degraded for a month. I'm sorry for replying to multiple widget threads. I'll refrain posting anything else about it. I appreciate your support.

@MarkNagy thank you! 🤩

I think this is the issue that would move me from being a premium user tbh. It's not nice to use now so needs to go.. the widget needs to be priority as it's there ALL the time.. of something is wrong, it's constantly evident and annoying.
Currently testing alternate apps widgets.

@lucky.wind said in New Widgets...:

Are horrible. This is a Downgrade !!
First, theres not transparency, no possibility to change size of fonts.
Also widgets resizing is a mess. I cant resize up an down separately from left to right. Its leaving big grey bars under the actual graphics wasting so much space with nothing
It looks so ugly.
I love windy but i dislike the new widgets ! Please fix this because ita a big downgrade

Agree agree agree. ;( is anybody listening.

Truncated on right

The new widget has multiple problems. These have been highlighted and documented for weeks.

@Petr-Vodička-2 said in Widget data disappears after few hours:

I am using my Honor Tab X8a as weather stadion, so Windy widgets shows most od the informations on the screen. Screen is set to always on. Problem is that after few hours data from widgets disappears. I have to enter widget settings, change something and after that Widget data reappears. Even refresh button on widget doesnt help.

I am using Nova Launcher Prime. I tried to disable all battery saving features, but Honor os has different settings than normal Android, so I did all I could.

This happens on pixel pro 10 with latest Android version.
Is the phone is in aeroplane mode or sleeps when it wakes the widget is black and blank. It does not auto refresh. You need to enter the settings and save. It's certainly a bug.

As a premium user this doesn't feel premium. It's like a beta release or testing? Obvious truncation on the right, which is actually quite annoying as I notice it many times a day. The removal of transparency option on the widget is also a big downgrade in premium feel. That's my feedback a month on. Premium user.
I understand the look and feel may not be as high a priority as functionality, but ultimately the look and feel is where the rubber hits the road.

@Suty any approximate ETA for the return of transparency on the widget. It makes a huge difference on tablets. Thanks so much.

@Hermano-1 this bug has been reintroduced in the last update. It worked yesterday on Android. I'm a premium user.
I can now no longer click forward on the timeline on the button while using satellite or weather radar layer. Interestingly it still works on cloud layer.
