I totally agree with the idea of adding an icon or button to quickly open the model selection. Using the “Compare forecasts” option isn’t very convenient for me, because I’m usually interested in looking at a specific layer (like rain, wind, etc.) with a different forecast model — not comparing data for one single location. So being able to switch models quickly while viewing the same map would make a big difference!

Of course, that’s just my personal opinion and I really appreciate you taking the time to consider the feedback!

Hello Windy Team,

I would like to suggest a feature that could greatly enhance the user experience. It would be incredibly helpful if the radar could display icons or visual markers to indicate the type of precipitation, such as snow, freezing rain, or other weather phenomena.

Thank you!

Yes sure. The animation freezes while the timeline bar continues to move. Is it a bug or it’s normal? (I am using the Windy app latest version 44.1.2, IPhone 16 pro max IOS 18.2.1)

I uploaded a recording of my screen.

Hello,
I’ve encountered a bug in the Windy app when using the satellite view. The issue occurs when I start the satellite animation: the image freezes at some point, while the time bar continues to progress normally. This results in losing approximately 25-30 minutes of satellite imagery.

Windy app version: 44.1.2
Device/Software: IPhone 16 pro max / IOS 18.2.1

This is a recording of my screen.

Is it a bug or it’s normal? Thanks for your help and suggestions!

Ventusky uses a combination of radar, weather models and algorithms to determine the type of precipitation (rain, snow, hail, etc.) I guess

In fact, I asked if there was a way to implement this function. They explained to me that it is not so simple. However, I would still like to have this function, even if the data is not provided by the radar. I know it is not precise, but it is interesting to get an idea of what’s going on.

I am sorry for the off topic, but I can't find a discussion here on the forum. Why does the satellite animation stop in the last 25/30 minutes? Has this bug already been reported? Or is it just my problem

Thanks!

Hi Windy team,

First of all, thank you for your amazing app.

I was wondering if you have any plans to make the forecast model selection more accessible. Right now, having to open the menu and scroll down to switch between models can be a bit tedious, especially when comparing them quickly.

Would it be possible to implement a quicker way to change models, perhaps directly from the main screen or through a more convenient shortcut?

Thanks again for your great work!

I think it’s a good idea, it would help keep the main screen cleaner.

Personally, I’d still prefer having a dedicated button right on the main screen, just to make it as quick and accessible as possible.

But of course, that’s something for the developers to decide in the end!
