Thanks a lot!

Hello, I’m facing again the same issue after the last update. Version 45.1.3 built 2025-04-15

@idefix37

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!

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!

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!

Hi, Thanks for your reply. I am referring to the satellite, I use the windy app version 44.1.3

See the attached video, hope it helps.

Hello,

I apologize for writing this post a second time, but I never received a response. Unfortunately, I’m experiencing a very annoying bug. Every time I switch from the satellite view to another function (wind, radar, rain, etc.) and then go back to the satellite view, it gets stuck. The play button doesn’t work, and I have to manually scroll the timeline to make it move.

Could you please help me with this issue?

Thank you for your support!

Dear Windy Team,

I have encountered an issue with the satellite animation on Windy. When I start the satellite animation, pause it, switch to the radar (rain) animation, pause it, and then go back to the satellite view, the animation does not resume even when I press play. It remains stuck.

I just realized that it also happens simply by switching from satellite to radar and back to satellite, even without starting the animations at the beginning.

Could you please look into this issue? Thank you for your time and assistance.

App version: 44.1.3

@idefix37

I see, thank you very much!

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!

@Wheats

Yes I understand, you are right. The more information is provided, the easier it is to understand the problem. do you suggest me to post the problem in the bug section, opening a new thread?

@Wheats

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.

@idefix37

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!

@Suty

awesome, thanks for the reply!

@idefix37

I understand, it makes sense. Thanks for the explanation :)

@idefix37

@Wheats explained why at the moment is not possible to implement what I asked for.

@idefix37

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.

@idefix37

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

@Wheats
Thank you for the explanation!
I understand the technical challenges in integrating precipitation type data, especially with the need for dual-polarization radar and the complexity of post-processing.

I find the velocity scan data idea very interesting. It would be very useful to have at least this information on Windy.

I made this suggestion because I noticed that another app, Ventusky, already has a feature to display precipitation types (e.g., snow, rain) directly on the radar. This made me wonder if it could also be implemented on Windy in the future.

Do you think there are plans to add at least velocity scan data? Or are there other limitations preventing it?

Thank you again for your time!

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!
