3. Solving issues in the Windy.app for iOS

Windy.app is a great app compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, but not perfect. Like everything else in the world. If you have any problems with the features using the app, or you see how to improve it, simply write to [email protected].

You could also try solving the problem by yourself. To do this use this simple instruction:

1. Make Sure You’re Logged In

If not, tap the menu bar on the main screen and create an account. Sign up with e-mail and password, or login with Facebook or Apple ID. And if you also want to use your Pro account on other devices, including Android devices, please login with an email or Facebook.

2. Force an App to Close and Open It Again

• On an iPhone X or later, or an iPad with iOS 12 or later, or iPadOS, from the Home screen, swipe up from the bottom of the screen and pause slightly in the middle of the screen. And on an iPhone 8 or earlier, double-click the Home button to show your most recently used apps.
• Swipe right or left to find the app that you want to close and swipe up on the app's preview to close the app.
• Tap on the app to open it again.

3. Update App and Turn on Automatic Updates

Manually update the app

• Open the App Store, then tap Today at the bottom of the screen.
• Tap your profile icon at the top of the screen.
• Scroll down to see pending updates and release notes. Tap Update next to an app to update only that app, or tap Update All.

Turn on or turn off automatic updates

Go to Settings > [your name] > iTunes & App Store. Then turn on or turn off App Updates.

4. Log out and Log in Again

Tap menu bar, go to Profile, log out. Then login again with e-mail or Facebook or Apple ID.

6. Update the OS

Windy.app requires iOS 10.0 or later.

Try to fix the problem by updating the iOS or iPadOS. Find out how to do it in this Apple instruction. Important: before you update make a backup of your device using iCloud or your computer!

7. Delete, Download and Install the App Again

Most likely, by this point, your problem will be solved by simply updating the application or rebooting the phone. If not, delete the app and install it again.

• To delete an app, touch and hold the app for a few seconds, tap Delete App, tap Delete.
• Download and install the app from the App Store again.
• Login again with your username and password, or via Facebook, or Apple ID.
