I love windy and use the mobile app and the desktop/web app extensively. One area for improvement that i would appreciate is the ability to turn lighting sounds off by default as well as different options or sources for the doppler. The doppler radar with the “smooth look” looks nice but does not always accurately show whats actually happening. I have found accuweather to be more percise in this manner. Thank you very much.
Si far this seems to be fairly accurate application. I like all the different information available. Once you go through the menu you can really see a lot of things which is excellent. One issues us that when I use it in a mountain location the temperature in winter is way off from a real temperatures night or day, i mean easily by more than 10 degrees. Now i understand better after the reply from developer of the app.
This app is good & also a useful tool for tracking different storms in different parts of the world, but there’s one thing that makes it not 5 stars. This is the color representing the wind speed. The color scale needs to be more broad. For example. The purple. I see what looks like a storm & is purple, but is it the low purple wind speeds? OR The storm level high purple wind speeds? One of the purple colors in the scale needs to be replaced. You can’t have 1 color represent 2 different things!
I love everything about this app! You can get multiple weather reports for anywhere in the world, check volcano activity through SO2 levels, plan for rough surf, high tide and even track wildfires. There us so much in this app, it is great and easy to see the data rather than just looking at raw data. I’ve stopped using the weather channel. This even has traffic cams if you need to check the roads.
