I searched for this subject and noticed most of the posts were a couple of years old, so am submitting one of my own.

I'm on an iPhone 14 Pro Max, latest version of Windy.

When I'm at home, the widget shows my location as being somewhere a couple miles away. I am using GPS for my startup location, so I don't know how it could be so horribly inaccurate. My subdivision has been around for about 20 years, so it should definitely be on the map.

When I "Find My Location" it is perfectly accurate, however the widget wants to put me somewhere else. There must be a way to set it so that after I find my location, I can set this as a default or something. I know I can set favorites, but how do I get the widget to display the correct home location?

Thanks in advance.

@Suty The app provides correct location when I specifically tap on the icon it to "find my location", and I can actually see the location indicator move to my specific, correct location when I tap that icon. But however the app is working behind the scenes, when I am at home, it wants to place me in an area that is 4+ miles away from my actual location, It is pinning the location indicator (the little blue flashing dot), in Cliffwood, which is 4+ miles from my home. I don't understand how the bug can be so egregious. After all the positive reviews of this app that I read that got me to purchase it, I sincerely hope that you are able to get it to work properly.

@Suty Six months to fix a bug? Yikes.

@Suty When I tap on Find my location, that is very accurate. I wish the app would use that for my home location, but for some reason it wants to put me in Cliffwood when I'm at home. It may not sound like a big deal, but it's actually pretty annoying. And of course, since it's only a few miles away, the forecast should be pretty accurate.

@Suty No it is not. It is showing what is in my screenshot above....Cliffwood, which is about 4.5 miles from where I actually live.

@Suty So that's the end of it? Y'all can't reproduce the issue so you make a lame suggestion then just ignore the topic? What am I paying for if I can't get resolution for what should be a simple issue?

@Trevor-Karjanis that's the lock screen, though. I'm talking about the home screen widget. It should accurately follow me wherever I go.

Cliffwood is about 4.5 miles away from my home address. How can this be?

@rwgrosser said in Incorrect Home Location on Widget:

@Trevor-Karjanis Right, uninstalling and reinstalling the app did nothing. Widget still displays a location that's a few miles away from where I live. Frustrating.

Every other weather app I have had on my device, the widget location is accurate. Why is this such a problem with Windy? When one pays for an app, one would expect it to just work.

@Suty I always have the latest OS and versions of everything, so iOS 17.5.1 and Windy 42.1.6.
