New windy during rearrangements all icons shake a lot, can this be reduced or by other means indicate that we are in 'rearrangement mode'. Drives me crazy :D

New windy during rearrangements all icons shake a lot

1) Lot's of flikkering when using Firefox 2) configurations not remembered well
Hey,
-
since the UI has changed again... we also need to re-arrange again our preferences. In firefox during these rearrangements the screen and icons flikkers a lot. like a LOT...
-
We also see that between browsers and devices settings are often 'reset' to default, or just changed...

RE: Needs the old style menu back!
@Ondřej-Šutera Are there any plans to show icons in the pins more grouped together?
Hate to say it, but it's still a frustration to work with Windy on the app.. -
RE: Needs the old style menu back!
hello, any new on this subject? The menu's are still very messy and have not seen any changes regarding proper orders of the menu's, not even under the pin.
Cloud, Cloud base and visibility is still all over the place and the icons still make it hard to see which is which..
thanks!

RE: Information box disappears to quickly
@idefix37 Oo dang yes that really helps!
It still disappears as soon as I select the side menu to find a different wind aloft.
I rather have that side menu stay open + the info on the weather picker stays open so we can select each altitude and the weather picker shows the information at each altitude. so that you won't have to close it each time.. -
RE: Needs the old style menu back!
@kubasworld You are not wrong that it takes ages, I was over aggregating here... But there no need to let it scroll in and out that 'slow' it can be at least 4 times faster, the old menu was a lot faster when opening each submenu.

RE: Needs the old style menu back!
@Ondřej-Šutera I think others did say it aswell. I am currently using favourites because it's better than the large list of icons.
When flying (VFR) I am using 16 layers. I am also using the different forcast models...
so the icons really look so much the same, like fog, visibility, low clouds and clouds are all 'grayish' so I need to read the little letters to find the right one.
I very muched liked where all clouds where grouped under a clouds text menu.This is handy:
I have all 4 clouds 'under' one menu.This is not handy:
(Sorry I was not beable to use a smaller image)
On the ipad the letters are really small, and the icons look all the same, and I cannot order them, tried long tap and drag on each image to move them around like we can do on iPad and I think Android.
hope that helps..
I think for most users that use Windy is about speed of working, not so much the visuals

Information box disappears to quickly
Hey,
here is a other item that makes it harder to work with the new update
Often when flying we need to get temperatures and winds aloft and various points to calculate our navlog.
So when I go to window and find a location then on the top the wind and directions appears for a few seconds. As soon as I want to select a different altitude, the box on the top of the screen disappears and I need to close the menu to make it appear again... I need to do this 5 times per location (yes I would love to have an API where I can automate my navlogs, but here we are... it's only 2023 so we do it by hand hahah) ok... Ahummm
So it would be super more convenient that the top menu stays much longer or perhaps when I select a different layer or when I want to click it away. When I then select a different altitude then that box can image immediately.
PS: use focus groups in each area of usage (Flying, surfing, sailing, soaring etc... ;)

RE: New UI has made the app unusable
@Ondřej-Šutera
On a mobile I can understand the UI where you can move the map. However on iPad it’s much faster to tap on a location to get the weather rather then moving the underlaying map.

Needs the old style menu back!
I am ok with the update but I do NOT It like at all the new side menu. Its now slow to navigate and the menu pops out so slow, I can make coffee will it comes out from the side
I liked that small menu because it allows me to MUCH faster go through the different weather layers. The big icons might look cool, but they all look the same to the eye and it takes me a lot more time to find the icon…. And each time it rolls out when I want to change.This change was clearly done by a UI designer and not by somebody who actually needs to use the application to understand the weather throughly.
Thanks in advance to bring the old style menu back!

RE: meteogram on different computers is totally different
@Gkikas-LGPZ That is indeed the case.
might be a good idea to warn people of such a drastic change. I can only imagine people plan around this... -
meteogram on different computers is totally different
Hey,
I just loaded up a meteogram on my laptop while discussing this with somebody. The person showed the meteogram on her computer and to by surprise they where totally different.
On looking up closer inspection it seems like the Meteogram are updated at different times 9h vs 4h.
It could be that I was logged i into windy and the other person not? Although windy is not a official weather source for us (aviation) it looks rather dangerous to me that there can be so much difference. and perhaps there should be some sort of a way for windy to warn us that the predictions are totally different?

Disable saving settings to the cloud
I have different usages on different devices. For example when flying I like times UTC but other activity’s I like LT. I also have a special iPad for flying…
How can I disable settings to the cloud and save the settings locally only?
Under settings I did not find such option, unless overlooked…

Show wind direction and speed in distance and planning and altitude
Hey,
context: General Aviation.
Is it possible to see during distance and planning get winds aloft during at altitude?
We have the wind barb with the speed, but for planning I would like to have an actual numbers instead of the wind barb, I find that hard to read and guess...
It would properly already help when hovering the airgram showing the altitude, wind direction/speed.I did not find that as an option during distance and planning yet.

RE: Annual vs year what is the difference?
@__willt thanks for the explanation, now it makes more sense.
Do you happen to know what the 'cancel any time' means? I would usually only use it for 6Months a year, so I rather have monthly subscriptions (I was pretty sure that Windy has montly subscriptions but I cannot find them anywhere). So does cancel any team means 'cancel once a year'? or cancel on every month and get refunded?cheers,

Annual vs year what is the difference?
As a non English speaking person for me the meaning is the same. I pay for a annual fee or a yearly fee.
Soo, what is the difference? Is buy for one year. Not he same as annual but annual is just automatic for a other year?
When it says that it is 1.6€ a month, does that mean I can cancel any month?
Cheers,

Where is the wind direction with a number to be found?
Re: Direction to north & Rapporteur at wind direction
I only see an arrow in windy for iPad, how can I see the direction with a number?
I like to calculate tomorrow crosswind component so I need something more accurate than N.
