Especially for iOS using the iPad (aka plenty of real estate), here are some features that would be nice to implement (so I wouldn’t have to use the desktop version):
• Present all Windy layers as separate icons immediately visible, and not have to click the ‘hamburger’ menu to see these icons.
• Display the ‘Quick Menu’ and Forecast Type toggle buttons in the lower right section of the app.
• Be able to use the Route Planner to see details of the route, like VFR, IFR, AirGram.
That functionality is not present on the Windy app. That is a shame, as these functionalities comprise critical workflows I look for on Windy. Your app is at a state where I won’t use it, and now I have to go to your browser version to use Windy. Such a shame, as you are taking a backwards step in the evolution of your app. Perhaps your Product Manager should read this post and take it under consideration. BTW, I am a huge fan of Windy, and am only providing this perspective in hopes of helping your team improve your already amazing product

Critical Differences between Desktop vs IOS versions

RE: Full Screen
Korina, I would have to disagree with your statement about the UI for iPad mobile app. On my iPad Pro on IOS, in the past I was able to:
• Present all Windy layers as separate icons, and not have to click the ‘hamburger’ menu to see these icons.
• Display the ‘Quick Menu’ and Forecast Type as toggle buttons in the lower right section of the app.
• Be able to use the Route Planner to see details of the route, like VFR, IFR, AirGram.Now, all that functionality is gone on the Windy app. That is a shame, as this functionality comprise critical workflows I look for on Windy. Your app is at a state where I won’t use it, and now I have to go to your browser version. Such a shame, as you are taking a backwards step in the evolution of your app. Perhaps your Product Manager should read this post and take it under consideration to reinstate these pieces of functionality. BTW, I am a huge fan of Windy, and am only providing this perspective in hopes of helping your team improve your already amazing product.

RE: Full Screen
Would you please forward this issue to the Windy team?

RE: Full Screen
I am using the app on my iPad Pro, and my posts in this thread are related to the app not the browser version.

RE: Full Screen
I am experiencing the exact same behavior as the user (you provided the link) on my iPad Pro (10.5). This iPad has enough real estate space to display the UI that the browser version does, so I’m not sure why you would change the UI and functionality (e.g. limited route planning).

RE: Full Screen
On the Windy IOS app, I’ve also lost the ability for route planning - it only displays measurements, not the dynamic route planning (e.g. VFR, IFR, etc). I’m getting the sense that I am in a mode that has shut down critical functionality OR there is a bug in the IOS app.

RE: Full Screen
For the Windy layers that I have chosen to display, how do I get icons only instead of icons with text. At one time on my Windy, I’ve seen the icons only in a vertical column on the right, but now I only see only five icons: Home, Cloud/lightning bolt, Hamburger Menus, Search, Account.

Full Screen
Is there a Full Screen mode on IOS app? How do you toggle between full screen and Normal view? I think I am in full screen and now all my favorite icons are not displaying vertically on the right side of the app.
