RE: Windy 39 is here. Learn how to masterclass new features
So let me tell you a story. I used to use AccuWeather for 5+ years before, they introduced a horrible new UI that is still there years later. Luckily Windy had an app and I switched to it, as I was using it in Desktop mode.
So it is possible I can find another replacement to Windy, because companies that force new, worse UX on users don't deserve my time and money

Notification bar current temperature
Would be super nice and helpful to show the current temperature from the current location/a location as a notification, similar to how AccuWeather does. It would make me uninstall AccuWeather as it's the only reason I have it installed

RE: Pointless thumbnails instead of list
@Korina It's foolish to force users into the UX you as a developer wants.
A good way to solve this would be to simply have a setting to toggle between a list view or thumbnail view...

RE: Please bring back the weather picker as before
Not listening to user feedback says a lot about the current state of things, I will stop being a premium member after many years... it's sad to move on but what's the alternative? Being told that nono you as the user are using the product wrong? That's the worst thing you can say as a company.

Low resolution for the radar widget
Pixel 8 Pro here, came from Pixel 7.
The radar is very low resolution and looks bad. Text is hard to read and not crisp

Skip 24 hours ahead/behind in time
Need some buttons to skip exactly 24h ahead/behind in time.
It would be really useful to be able to quickly see how things look at the same time of day but on different days...

RE: Unhappy with the update
@Ondřej-Šutera I fully reinstalled it seems to work
EDIT: It stopped working for the RADAR, "permanent" Updating Windy notification like before...

RE: Unhappy with the update
@Ondřej-Šutera I am just curious if you guys did user-testing with the new UI? Because judging by the people in this forum, many are unhappy with the changes. So I am sure if you did user-testing people would've brought these concerns up.

RE: Skip 24 hours ahead/behind in time
@Suty But is it something you will look at or? I think it's very useful to see what e.g. the temperature is like 24h from now, gives you a better sense of how the temperature is progressing throughout the days while looking at the Temperature map, for example.

RE: Low resolution for the radar widget
Seems like nobody is willing to put in the time to fix this. Such a shame, really

RE: Low resolution for the radar widget
Why isn't anyone addressing this? The widgets still look like crap

RE: Low resolution for the radar widget
Hi, still seeing this issue, any fix in sight?

RE: In the "predicted" Radar, newest current data should fade out not in.
@Suty Yes, but you can still do it, just differently than it is now. Again, fade it OUT not IN. Or remove the colors as you progress into the simulation. It becomes hard to read towards the end of the simulation, because the opacity of latest live info is the same as the prediction.
You can also try capping it at a max 50% opacity for the current (diamond) live info. But like it's now, it's hard to read honestly
You have 3 options or so to make it easier to read

In the "predicted" Radar, newest current data should fade out not in.
The data in hex fades in as we go further into the prediction. But that is wrong, it should fade out! Why? Because now it is hard to read:
Either decrease saturation of it, while fading it in, like it currently does. Or just fade it out... Better yet, have it as an option.

RE: Low resolution for the radar widget
@MarkNagy i get that, but I didn't see it on my Pixel 7. The display on the 8 Pro does have a higher resolution, but not high enough to explain the difference if you ask me?
If it's an android issue it needs to be raised through the developer channels to Google so they fix it or add an option to not do what you mentioned

RE: Low resolution for the radar widget
Hi, the issue came back by itself today, still sounds like a bug to me. Probably with scaling/DPI
-
RE: Low resolution for the radar widget
@Suty That worked actually! That was the only thing I did not try.
Would it be possible to do this through the settings in the widget itself? A "Reset" button in the widget settings?
