@Ondřej-Šutera, no problem I just wanted to reach out to windy to clear as many confusions or issues. I understand the satellite and radar issue. And yes, I am still facing the issue of not being able to zoom with my normal Indian IP address. Again, it might be an issue to do with the availability of the mapy.cz service in
Additionally, I have been facing a problem loading the premium satellite archive feature. When I had initially purchased the premium subscription a few weeks ago, this was working, but it stopped shortly afterwards. Instead of showing the satellite imagery, it gets stuck on a blank map containing no data except the background map, almost as if it is permanently loading. I’ve tried reloading, signing in, and on different devices, but it is still not getting fixed. Just wanted to take the opportunity to reach out about this as well.

What Happened to Gallery View & Why No Historical Layer Data
Note that I am a Windy premium user, and the following suggestions may not have to apply to the free version and am fine with them being considered for the premium one.
Windy used to have a selectable gallery view for the layers, which on leaving your cursor above a layer causes it to quick-replay its historical data for the past 10 days or so. This option has apparently not been available for a long time now (probably a year).
Also, if not to re-add gallery mode, it would be even better to have an explicit selectable mode for layer-wise historical data, like is currently available for satellite data.
Thank you.

@idefix37 If I’m completely correct about this feature, it would be really great if Windy brought it back as a separate feature.

There was a time when hovering your cursor over a layer’s frame in the gallery view would show a quick replay of data for the past 10-20 days or so, which would countdown till the current day. -

RE: Some General Suggestions
@Ondřej-Šutera If you are referring to the detailed zoom map, then I have tested it on MacOS Safari as well as iOS Safari and the app. Normally, the detailed zoom does not work, but when I enable VPN (I use ProtonVPN) connecting to the Netherlands or the USA (as they are my only viable options, and I'm assuming this will be the same for many other countries), it works albeit not always instantly. I presume some related parity issue with locations also resulted in windy loading the premium subscription in USD and INR whether I loaded it on the app or browser, and they were different prices.

Once in a while, random computational glitches occur in the weather radar and satellite imagery view. In the case of the weather radar, as far as I have observed, this tends to occur in regions with fewer facilities for the same. More often, satellite imagery refuses to load in certain parts of the map, even when the internet works.

Detailed zoomed maps by "mapy.cz" don't work for IP addresses of certain countries, in my case, India. I noticed that only when I used a VPN (which connected to Netherlands), would this global feature work.

So far, I have not found any plugin or feature for AQI, or any such parameter measuring the general, overall air quality as a layer.

Considering the great deal of information that infrared satellite imagery gives us about mesoscale convective systems, it would be great to use it to update and complement weather forecasts more. I find this especially important since I often notice current thunderstorm information given on the thunderstorm layer not match with the actual thunderstorms detected in the satellite imagery.

3 New Parameters not Showing Up in Gallery
Wet-Bulb Temp., Solar Power, and UV Index should be showing up in the Gallery but their respective boxes have not been added yet, likely due to them being added collectively in a recent update.
