Please make model switch easy again, just revert it how it was. it is really frustrating clicking so many times.

I am not sure if devs, or decision makers at windy really understand what they did here? This is so frustrating, I am seeing my use cases as unusable now, up to the point I am thinking to cancel my premium sub.

Please, please revert to old model switch!

Hi @Suty, I see new changes now. It is one step forward imo but still few steps back from the original switcher.

Where we can now easily see when the model was updated last time?
And if it would be possible ti pin the model list such it does not hide after few seconds it would be really good step forward.

Thanks.

@Suty hi, when we can expect planned improvement for model switcher to be live?

I see Last updated time is back and visible!!!

@kavachi tbh unfortunately, I think they dont want it back. If they would want, it would be there already.

They have code for it, they know how to show it.. looks like devs are perusing some trendy clean minimalistic design.

Same is for the model switcher, from something very much working on Desktop browsers now it is annoying.

@Ftjwinfs said in Switching between weather models now takes 3 clicks:

Would it be possible that you share what the reasons were to implement (and keep) the current approach?

some AI agent suggested so..

@Ftjwinfs sure, please ping me your email and I will share it with you.

@Ftjwinfs Unfortunately I think they will never change this. This thread has 14k plus views and going for a very long time, there is so much interest in having model picker sticky or at least always visible but devs just have some other reasons not to implement this.

I have made myself a javascript code which holds model opened in the browser indefinetely. Works fine but does not work ofc. in the mobile app.

Meanwhile I have canceled my premium subscriptions. I will not pay for something which makes me nervous while using it.

If you need a script for a browser you can use cgpt plus tempermonkey add-on.

@idefix37 Switching was always possible, this topic was never about switching not working. It was about convenience.

As you showed model switcher work, and it always worked. Only thing before was that you can select location and switch model just with one click and see detailed forecasts at a location.

I am not sure why you say it stays opened.

For me this is not the case. Tested in chrome, it vanishes after few seconds when not focused with the mouse pointer. Unless there is some other way to pin it...

It is so sad this can't be natively implemented. And such a simple request with so many interested users and 11k views on the topic.

I have made myself a tempermoneky script to solve this for myself. It may got broken from release to release but at least makes the windy usable.

Hi @Suty thanks for the update, do you already know when we can expect this change to go live?
