I absolutely love Windy!! Thank you so much for everything!
The only thing that annoys me regularly is that I can't zoom out of the map using only one hand. So many map apps allow to zoom in and out by double tap and hold, then slide thumb up (zoom out) or down (zoom in). Could this please be introduced to Windy as well? At the moment one can only zoom out with pinch to zoom, which basically requires two hands.
Thanks!

Zoom out of map one-handed
The only thing I am consistently missing in this brilliant app is a way to zoom out when I am holding my phone in one hand.
E.g. I have my phone in my left hand and equipment in my right hand, I am studying the radar map and zoom in for more detail (double tap with my thumb). Then I want to zoom out again - no chance. There's no minus button, no double tap and slide - I either have to use both hands or awkwardly manage a pinch gesture with the same hand I am holding the phone.
This addition would be a huge highlight! Thanks for considering!

RE: Understanding the Compare Forecast Feature in Windy.com
Living in Vienna, Austria, my standard model is ECMWF for a longer-term overview, and ICON-D2 for maximum accuracy in the short term.

Suggest adding one-finger zoom
Like in Windy Maps and other mapping apps. One-finger zoom as well as pinch to zoom. Would be great!! :)

RE: Suggest adding one-finger zoom
@seabee-0 Of course one can zoom in already with a double tap. But one can't zoom out. Double tap and then swipe up and down to zoom out and in. This is the only thing I am still missing in this amazing app!

Make radar forecast optional
I welcomed the introduction of radar forecast, since I'm sure lots of users were missing this option - and it's a great animation and implementation.
However, as a more scientifically-minded user I would actually prefer to deactivate the feature for myself. I usually move the slider back and forth to analyze how precipitation is moving and developing, and mentally extrapolate from there. I find it harder to do that now, because I have to keep a close eye on the slider to check that I don't go beyond the current time and end up in the red half of the bar.
An option in the Settings to activate/deactivate radar forecast would be perfect for me. I wonder how others see this.

RE: Suggestion: Enable fractional zoom
Related to this, could I ask if an improvement to zoom in the app is also possible? Fractional zoom would be great here too, but there's another aspect:
Especially with bigger screens, it would be great to zoom in and out using only one thumb: double tap/hold/drag. Since there are also no plus/minus buttons, at the moment one always needs a second hand to be able to pinch to zoom out - e.g. in the radar map. Thanks!

RE: Simple suggestion.
@Korina I understand it to mean: allow showing 2 forecast panels at the same time. One for the current GPS location, and one for an additional place selected via the map. I guess so one can compare the two directly.

RE: Suggest adding one-finger zoom
@korinaMaybe it's version or device specific, but on my phone it is NOT the same. Pinch to zoom out in Windy is correct, but in Windy Maps I can also double tap, hold, and pull up. I find this a much more ergonomic solution.
