@Ondřej-Šutera there is no doubt in my mind that one day I'll go kiteboarding and 5km out I'll check high resolution Windy radar widget on my Garmin watch that updated 5 minutes ago, for how far away is that storm cell.

The impossible just takes a little longer!

I have exactly the same issue and can't wait for option to switch models to become available.

Thank You for your efforts!

@Ondřej-Šutera

Thanks for your prompt response and shared info Ondřej 🙂

Radar widget was my reference and I'm just saying, to have that ability back to make entire widget transparent would be amazing.

Thanks 👍

Hi there.

Another awesome update 👍

The only thing I regret about it is loss of widget transparency control.
It went from being fully able to control transparency of entire widget to only controling a widget frame.

It would be amazing to get this back.

Thanks in advance

@Korina Hi there.

Upper right corner has "refresh arrows" button and lower right has "settings gear". That's the one you need to tap to be able to access "Update Widget" button.

I'm not using VPN and I travel quite a bit.
My cellphone provider uses dynamic IP assigned addresses so one day it will show me 600km away, next 100km and next 200km.
That's why I have it set in app and browser to use GPS only, and on auto refresh or tapped refresh it doesn't for whatever reason.

Thanks

Still waiting for an option to choose which forecast model to see on widget.

Thanks in advance

@korina Disappointing to see yet another app update without addressing location permissions on Android.

By now, there were multiple posts pointing out the inability to give permission to the app to have access to location not only "when using the app" but "all the time" which seems to be the root of a problem for people that have chosen to use GPS as startup location on their widgets.

In any case, Happy New Year :)

Yes, PLEASE add NAM model to widgets.

Thank You in advance

@Korina THANK YOU guys for fixing this :)

@Ondřej-Šutera
39.1.4 here and issues persist :(
Updated 2023-07-21

@Jamitt said in Weather Radar Widget not displaying any info on iOS:

Doesn't work on Android either. "Cannot load radar images" Happens on both my Android devices.

Same for Satelite widget :(

@MarkNagy problem seems to be triggered when I automatically switch from mobile data to WiFi on VPN where server has some messed up location and my widgets are set to GPS location.

As soon as I get off WiFi problem is gone.
I'm just not sure if this is a coincidence or there is something that changed with latest update as previously WiFi wasn't a problem.

@Suty after some time it did.
Back to perpetual update on all widgets and excessive battery drain.

Radar animation isn't working in app either.

@Suty Android 14 One UI 6 here.

After last update GPS location radar, satelite, and days forecast + three favorites detail widgets all went into perpetual update mode. They would show 4 hour old content and Windy went into 25% battery use over 6 hours.

Removed all widgets, reinstalled them and the only difference was radar and satellite were big black boxes.

Went to app info - storage and cleared data and cache, uninstalled Windy app.
Reinstalled everything and tested.
All good now

@Ondřej-Šutera 39.1.5 2023-08-08 fixed it for me. Thank You guys.

I'd also like to use the opportunity and ask that few things be considered for radar and satelite widgets:

1. Option to have continuous animation play
2. Option to be able to chose the frequency of widget update
3. Option to have transparency control for gray background on radar widget

Thanks in advance

@Ondřej-Šutera yes I mean the animation.

1.Radar widget used to update and run continuously. Sometimes it would glitch but it was a single tap on refresh button and problem solved. It even had transparency option so one could opt out of having a giant gray square widget.

2.Now instead of a refresh button there is a menu that opens up settings and refresh buttons. So to refresh there has to be two taps instead of one. Two taps visually do nothing. Perhaps widget gets updated but it's not reflected in animation because you have to press play to activate it. Another tap. Infact, at least two taps are needed on play button to activate animation. First seems to be activating refresh and second activating animation that runs a few cycles and stops.

2. is overcomplicated, please go back to 1.

And updating widget notification is still perpetually there.

Thanks for your efforts

@Ondřej-Šutera what is a point of a widget?

I'm giving unrestricted access to battery consumption, precise location and notifications just so I can have a widget that's refreshing information on hourly basis but not showing it unless I physically make almost as many clicks as it would take going through parent app???

Man this used to be simple, functional and visually pleasing.

@Ondřej-Šutera my understanding, and expectation, is that widgets auto refresh on hourly basis.

They're not doing that.
Aside from having a perpetual "Updating widget" notification that never goes away, widget animations will cycle few times than stop at random point in their sequence. They will never restart on their own and I have to manually refresh them multiple times before they will update animations, cycle them few times, randomly stop again so I'm back to manually refreshing...

@Ondřej-Šutera of course :)
