The weather info is accurate and clearly represented. The problem I have with the app is that it is trying to be a social media platform. Why would I want to share photos or chat in my weather app? I could ignore that aspect, if not for my second complaint. The user has very limited ability to customize what they see on the home screen. There are features such as "Favorites", "Community", and "Nearest Spots" that I do not care about but cannot shut them off. They are just clutter.

Thank you for your feedback! It’s understandable that you prefer a weather app focused solely on forecasts. While some users enjoy community interactions, others find them distracting. At the moment our app doesn't have customization options for the main screen layout. If you have any questions or comments please contact us at windy@windyapp.co!

This is an amazing app at what it offers to the user, but the experience of using it is awful. After opening, I had to fill out a bunch of questions and refuse a subscription service twice before I could even use the app at all. That's not a good start. After that, the menus have a lot of nonsense features and pointless bloat. I just want to see the weather radar from multiple forecasts, why is that made so difficult?

Dear Nicholas, thank you for your feedback! Windy.app is a professional weather app, created for water and wind sports: sailing, surfing, fishing, and etc. That's why we have so many weather parameters and features. We understand that seem a bit complicated especially at the start. We're always happy to help you to figure it out: windy@windyapp.co

Excellent ability to visualize and compare models directly. Decently good navigation and ability to change settings on the fly. Biggest complaint is the general bias to putting wind front and center without the ability to change to precipitation or other variables. But given the name and many use cases, I can see why they did.
