Immediately upon opening this app, I see a big inconvenience. It would be helpful if there were 4 x 1 widgets also because I have many productivity apps on my homescreen that I use in daily life. In order to fit the large sized widgets from Windy, I have to choose which apps to sacrifice. This is almost enough to make me consider not even installing this app.

Great app, lots of information. What I dislike is the lack of ability to see all the information I need on a route (boating). I see wave height, but I also want to the frequency, I want to see the wind waves. All the info is there, but I have to close the route each time to change to another view. The app needs the ability to customize what I want to see and select multiple layers, like wind, wave, wind waves, and frequency. This is key to mariners!

AI nobody wants... the new integrated history/prediction slider is garbage; I can make much better predictions myself without it interfering with junk information; it actually prevents me from landing on the most recent frame; a button on the "more ..." expansion menu to switch between the two modes would be much better; best would be getting rid of it entirely
