@Korina I think @evolab said it right and respectfully.
People are thrown off because we all had this magnificent product that provided a look fairly far into the future...we became dependent on it. Then one morning we log in and now it costs money. Sucks from the free users point of view - so I understand...though it would seem people could be a little better at communicating their frustrations lol

RE: Needs the old style menu back!
@Ondřej-Šutera Any chance you can allow users to choose between list and gallery view? Like you can on the website?
Just a thought -
RE: RDPS/HRDPS
I would love to see the Canadian model data in Windy.
Here is a previous thread I could find discussing these data:

RE: 10 day forecast gone
@burrelltb There is nothing I have found that is as easy to use and understand, visually pleasing, and has this much information at the users fingertips. They've truly done a fantastic job.
From my experience as a meteorologist, I've spent years searching for different websites and models to compare manually and all for a price. The ability to compare multiple forecast models yourself incredibly quickly and easily is amazing and shouldn't be taken for granted. Not to mention the integration of different data layers available is pretty outstanding. -
Windy Mobile Application v39 - User Feedback
Good Day,
I am writing to you to bring the concerns of many of your users to the forefront (again). With absolutely no word from the development team and seemingly no interest in hearing what we have to say, I feel it is necessary to voice my opinions on the new UI yet again.
I beg of you, PLEASE, listen to your user feedback. A lot of the v39 changes have only caused problems for users who utilize this powerful tool on a daily basis as professionals in our respective fields.
My personal opinion,
I DO NOT like the gallery view - the list view is compact, organized, easy to read and easy to use.
I DO NOT like the auto-zoom feature - I zoom out for a reason, and forcing me to keep zooming out is not a useful "feature".
I DO NOT like the crosshairs - pressing on the map to select a location, and moving the map under the "flag" to get a more precise location was perfect.
The mobile app was user friendly, ergonomic, simple, elegant, and pretty.
The mobile app is now cluttered, slower, not user friendly, not ergonomic, not simple, not elegant, and no longer pretty.Over the years I have used this application, watched it grow and loved all the new layers and concepts you've added. I use it every single day as a premium user (on my professional email account).
With the release of v39, all you have done is caused me to stop using it on my mobile device and also caused me to stop the update on my other mobile device - because the old version is just so much easier to utilize in my day-to-day operations (as an Operational Meteorologist in Emergency Services).
There are many users on this platform who are voicing their opinions to you, the development team. There are some in particular who are doing so respectfully and professionally in order to HELP YOU create a more powerful and useable application for professionals as well as public users.
In my opinion it would be beneficial to you and your team to listen to them and take their advice and guidance into consideration.
Thank you for reading.

RE: Feature request: Wind history
@Siim-Nelis If you select a specific station, you can see the past few days of data (including wind).
For example:
If you activate the "Reported Wind" layer, it'll will show you all the stations with reported wind data, you can click on a station and it'll bring up a bit of a history.That's all I know, hope it helps!

RE: Be one step ahead with the advanced features of Windy Premium! [EN]
@redfox435cat @brother-bill The forecasts you see aren't Windy's forecasts. They don't have a team of meteorologists developing forecasts for you to be disappointed in haha. You should be complaining to the company's creating and maintaining the guidance models.
ANY guidance model 3 days out can be pretty inaccurate, they get better all the time but that far out you start getting into so many variables it's unreal.
If you find a guidance model that is better for your specific area - you can always bring it up in the forums as a model you'd like to see on their site.

RE: Why is the information on the Web and the app different from the same place?
@Tuan1128 it will be helpful to include more details... location, mobile device, app version number, screenshots are great... this will ensure someone can help steer you in the right direction.
I see you're premium, is it possible one is showing 3hr and the other is showing 1hr forecast data?

RE: Weather radar
@RedGreenRabbit
Here is a post explaining the different overlays Windy.com offers.
https://community.windy.com/post/3789Highlights: the vibration and sound are linked to lightning strikes (as far as I know). When you have the "Weather radar" layer activated your device will make a sound or vibrate when lightning is detected.
I would utilize the other layers to help predict overnight precipitation. Try using the "Rain, thunder" layer - this layer visualizes different guidance models for your area. You can select the different models yourself and compare what they are telling you.
Hope that helps!

@Cheerio03 @BWalshWX @Giovanni519 I'm guessing feedback consists of views and posts related to this subject, and votes...so hit that thumbs up button :)

RE: Unable to locate this feature.
@Zinzeria As shown in the pinned page you linked, it's called "Radiation". It is available to both free and premium users and it's found in the same layers area as Reported wind, Reported temp. Airports, Webcams etc
It's available on the newest windy app version for Android - I don't have an Apple device so can't confirm for that platform.

RE: Search Location troubles
@mollywood
I don't entirely agree with you there...I wouldn't call it dangerous - it's still accurate information. The search isn't flawed, you just need to know the format...Also, I noticed in your previous messages that you were missing the "-"....anything South Latitude or West Longitude needs a negative sign when using DD and DDM.
I find it strange that they provide a Lat/Long in DMS "N####, W####" and yet you have to input the same Lat/Long in DMS "####N #####W" when searching for a location.... just a weird choice in my opinion.
Personally, I don't have any connection with Windy.com. Same as you, this public forum or there's an email address support@windy.com I think it is.

RE: Search Location troubles
@Ondřej-Šutera @mollywood
It is strange that Windy would provide you coordinates for a location that aren't in the exact same format as what you can type in the search box.
And also strange that there seems to be no way to easily copy those coordinates. -
RE: Search Location troubles
I'm not sure what to tell you here lol
These are all the same location:
Degrees Minutes Seconds (DMS): 37°59'56"N 122°58'34"W
Degrees Decimal Minutes (DDM): 37 59.9334, -122 58.5666
Decimal Degrees (DD): 37.99889, -122.97611To get all of these coordinates converted, I used a coordinate converter I found on the internet.

RE: Search Location troubles
@mollywood then the coordinates you have are incorrect. There is nothing wrong with the search location on Windy.
Is this more like it?
38.002587, -122.975235

RE: Wind speed at cursor incorrect
@donaldduck70 which version of the app do you have?
v39.3.2 should have this fixed as far as I know, it should have been released last week I think? -
RE: Question on Weather Forecast Icons - What are the 4 horizontal lines?
@rattlhed you'll know tomorrow morning 🤪
Your assumption is accurate, that is the symbol for fog.
