ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS! Hope it moves to production feature.

I know you’re proud of this new feature, but how do I stop it from appearing EVERY TIME I hit the Home icon? Please!!!

@suty Just noticed the bug post immediately prior to mine also has the disappearing isobars! https://community.windy.com/topic/44119/loosing-lat-long-grid-and-pressure-isobars

Maybe a more prevalent issue than either of us realized.

@zeljko See my bug report immediately subsequent to yours: I also have the disappearing isobars issue, but at random during screen refresh! I don’t even have to login to have it happen.

@Suty Yes, that's correct. Sorry I gave you too much information in my earlier replies. 🙁

At the risk of repeating that problem(!), I will add that my use case is probably not typical. I have Windy open on my larger iPad Pro perhaps 60-70% of the time, only stopping when I move the whole unit (photo below) to my desk to use as a second screen on my iMac. I would understand that perhaps I have this issue of switching to the Wind layer only because I have the app running for such long periods, up to 2-3 days sometimes.

I do have to say, though, that my wife and I are virtually addicted to having the Windy display available all the time. It is wonderful, despite the unpredictable re-sets. 🙂😎

@Suty Well, isn't my face red? I have Satellite as default on my iPhone and smaller iPadPro. I just assumed that it synced on the larger iPadPro (above). But no! So I have set it to Satellite now, and I'll watch to see if the problem stops or continues. So far, overnight, all is good!

@suty The screen has re-set twice since my last post. Both times it came back to Satellite as the new default, with two differences: (1) I have to add the isobars, which you explained previously; and (2) it re-centers on my location, rather than the off-center position that I prefer to see the incoming patterns. I can live with the second issue, since it is just a finger swipe to re-position it where I want it. So bottom line: The three original issues are resolved. Thanks for your help.

@Suty The issue is that the change from the first screenshot to the second — what I have called a re-set — happens spontaneously with no action on my part. The display (first image) can go along updating just fine at successive time stamps on the bottom bar and then abruptly re-set at random times (to the second image)… after an hour or less, or on one recent occasion for more than 24 hours. (This latter occasion followed my first bug report a few days ago, and I thought perhaps you had pushed out a fix! But, no.). Does this clarify the issue?

@Suty My default view is Satellite with Radar Overlay, My location, and Show lightning turned on; plus Isobars from the 3-bar red menu:

Notice that it is intentionally off-center from my location because I want to see incoming weather patterns.

As I described in my earlier bug report, any of several things can happen, seemingly at random, when the display advances on a subsequent time-step. The most common is to revert to what is apparently the default display for the app, Wind.

The second screenshot shows such a reversion, in this case with the isobars still present, but re-centered and zoomed-in on my location... even though the blue dot has disappeared!! But the isobars do not always show up in this re-set. They just happened to be present in this one.

Here is another re-set where Radar, Location, and Isobars behave as expected, but the cloud cover that is part of the base satellite view does not fully render. It's more common for that failure to be in the Western part of the US, rather than the Eastern, but it seems that anything can happen!

I hope this helps explain what I am seeing regarding the disappearing isobars. Thanks for any thoughts.

(You already saw my earlier post, where the app shifts to portrait even though the iPad Pro is locked in landscape. I understood your explanation of that one, so no need to repeat.)

@Suty Thanks for the clarification. I can confirm iPadPro only. None of these things happen on my iPhone (or iMac for that matter).

My normal display on a 12.9" iPad Pro (M1) is Satellite with Radar, Location, and isobar overlays, usually zoomed-out to see longer-term patterns:

At random times, however, when it refreshes to the next time step, I can get almost any screen, most often Wind, with none of the three overlays. Or maybe some overlays, but not all, sometimes whole screen or only partial....

The most bizarre instances are when Windy (or iPadOS or the tooth fairy) loses track of the fact that the screen is LOCKED in landscape and defaults(?) to portrait:

If you can imagine a combo of displays, I have probably gotten it, though I do not have screenshots of most of the variants... merely enough to remind me of the annoyance. This has been going on for several MONTHS, despite keeping both iPadOS and Windy completely up-to-date. No responses to any of the in-app bug reports I've sent, so I turn here in desperation.

@Suty I’m using an iPhone 14 Plus. If I hold the device with the screen horizontal , then it points on the map in the direction toward which the top of my phone is aiming. So it’s simply a compass without the rose (in a sense). Is that right? If so, it still behaves properly when held vertically In portrait mode. But in landscape mode it’s not reliable.

Thanks for the clarification.
