| 2024-11-18 |  | | I love this app for planning sailing and surfing trips. I used to be able to see swells- on the best model view and now it only shows up on ALL model view. I don't really want to see all models as it takes up a lot of screen real estate. I also want to change the time zone from GMT to HST but can't find an option to do so. This would help me more accurately plan trips. I use android and would appreciate all the neet IOS perks to be added too. Why punish android users because we hate APPLE? |
| 2024-11-08 |  | | fantastic!!! Update follows: Great app! It's new features make it worth the cost. No need for the other apps I have. All consolidated here with Windy. I appreciate this app! As a truck driver, I've arranged it features to accommodate my travels. Highly recommend this to all who travel and visit areas of potential bad weather. Great way to plan ahead by using this app. I give this app........ 👍👍👍👍👍 |
| 2024-10-19 |  | | This app is strictly weather no fishing tips. Highly disappointed, NOT worth the money. The add I seen on it when I purchased made it look like it would give you fishing tips, depths, lures, colors etc. When your signing up it asks the types of fish, types of locations you like to fish. Very misleading. I does let you map locations. Then shows weather for those spots with a scale recommendation of fish bones to 3 fish showing if it is good fishing during those time and dates. |
| 2024-10-09 |  | | Although not listed on the description page, you must sign up and pay to use this app. The app doesn't tell you this until it plays 20 questions about your hobbies and lifestyle, then tells you to either subscribe to a paid plan or do a "free trial" that then signs you up for a paid subscription. I'm sure the app itself is decent, but I was immediately turned off by the mass of questions (data mining) that led to wanting my money. I never tried it because of this. |
| 2024-09-25 |  | | 0 stars is unfortunately not an option. Congratulations on ruining the windy app. Constant pop ups to buy pro. Features continue to be removed and put behind a pay wall. Can't even tap on a spot on the map and see the wind any more. You would think that the feature that shares the name of the app should at least be included with basic functionality. But no windy is too greedy. Your killing it guys! |
| 2024-09-18 |  | | Incorrect forecast most of the time, like it's literally raining right now and the app shows nothing on the map currently, nor in the past or future plays. The app is extremely complicated and the tutorials are not helpful at all. The app bombards you with ads to purchase and upgrade as soon as you open it and then after every single click you make, but why would I pay for this when you can't even tell me the most basic weather information correctly? Don't waste your time with this app. |
| 2024-09-10 |  | | I like all that it can do but it misses out on some basic weather app functions. I really wish I could have a widget that showed me the current temperature, daily high, and daily low. And im the opened app, a weekly forecast would be nice to. Currently I can see hourly breakdowns for the week but I'm not able to quickly, at a glance, see what the coming up week is going to be like or even what the current temperature is. For all it's great functions, I just end up not using the app. |
| 2024-09-05 |  | | This app is doing a great job of showing me all the info I want to see to plan SUP outings. It took me a bit to find the water temperature display - I got that by creating a custom profile using foiling as a starting point, and I added a field to the new profile. I saw a post saying that the iOS app has a water temperature layer on the map. It seems that the Android app does not? That would be nice to have. |
| 2024-08-28 |  | | I saw this 3D animated version of clouds forming in the promotional video. I can not duplicate it on the app. Either it isn't offered, or they make it difficult to find the icon to get this feature. The wind speeds are accurate for the most part for our Wednesday night sailing races. |
| 2024-08-16 |  | | A truly amazing app. You'd expect that with how verbose everything is, that'd it'd be overwhelming, but that isn't the case. This app has a really good balance between information and user friendliness. I also like how it allows you to put in any sports you may play. My only issue is that the selection is a tad limited. As a Skater in the Midwest, I got no interest in barrelling down the Mississippi on a surfboard, adding more sport options would make this app peak perfection |
