User Reviews for Windy.app

Subscriptions by deception. Placement of continue without subscribing way out of line of sight

App itself is pretty much replicated by other apps that display wind grids such as Windy (red colored icon) or Ventusky so you may want to avoid this app to not accidentally get deceived into subscribing into a trial period of which turns into a paid subscription after a short period of time. Presentation of data is nice and app can be customized to purpose you want (water or air sports for starters)This app gets lots of accidental subscription complaints because the continue (or next button) is far away from the center of the screen when presented with subscribe choices.The actual button bypass committing to any subscription is black text on blue background in upper right corner. Very hard to see by design unless you have superior color differentiation vision. It is by design meant to not be seen. To re-iterate, if you don’t want to subscribe to any subscriptions, be sure to look for the option in upper right corner of screen when presented with free trial subscription options or you will be inadvertently subscribing to some very expensive subscriptions!

ABSOLUTE JOKE OF A CO. W/ FALSE PROMISES

The app developers have turned Windy into a greedy, money hungry app. They once used to show wave height and now it is only available if you “pay for pro”. When I originally contacted Windy they told me this was an error by developers and the next update wave height would be included for all. THAT TURNED OUT TO BE A COMPLETE OUTRIGHT LIE. I am not one to say “look at me”...but I commercial fish, I tournament fish...and there are many on Long Island who know who I am. Once upon a time I used to recommend Windy to everyone in my industry. Now...now, out of principle bc you told me lies that it would be included the next update, I will NEVER use your app. I will NEVER recommend your app and I will go as far to tell everyone I know never to trust your lie-filled company. Dont forget who your demographic is. IE salt of the earth fisherman who operate in an oldschool manner and on principle. DONT string us along with lies saying it will be included in the next update. And then follow up w me a week later “oh yea forgot to tell you, youll need to pay for pro to actually get it”. Dont push the old salty dog...

Best in Class

This app is far and away the most informative and timely for tracking wind and weather. I use it for falconry, and area scent detection/dog tracking. The granularity/resolution it offers is the best I’ve been able to find. I also like that I can use different sensor networks depending on my use case. What you can do with this app is only limited by your knowledge/willingness to learn its features. I find the textbook entries they’ve made very useful, and often use them as reference material when trying to explain climate or weather phenomena to people. I hope they will consider implementing physiologic metrics, which would make this the premier application (besides isrid) for SAR and outdoor recreation applications.

Fake app? Update: Delayed account registration

As far as I can tell, I paid $40 for absolutely nothing. This application will not load any data. Period. I’ve tried registering my email/account which it won’t let me do. The prompt keeps claiming my account is already in use. The remember password feature doesn’t work. The app just doesn’t actually do anything. Fairly certain this application is a scam. Trying to figure out how to report it to Apple.Update: 24 hrs after purchasing the app, I was able to register my account and begin using the application. Not sure why I was unable to register at first. I have an iPhone 12 Pro and my IOS is updated. Given weather underground’s recent poor performance regarding wind I needed a new app and quick. Heck, I was willing to pay $40 for a good one….In short, if you’ve got a trip planned the next day (duck hunt for me this time) be sure and download this app several days in advance.

Great for drone pilots and enthusiasts

First of all you are offered a free basic version of the application. There are additional add ons they will be helpful in other applications. The way this works for me is the app provides wind conditions at your nearest airport at various elevations and times through the day. Then it’s forecast in the coming days. Wind speed planning is critical to all drone pilots at every level. To my knowledge this is the very best app available for that application. Lastly, I want to express my gratitude to the developers for allowing your users to have the very valuable basic level for free. Thank you 🙏🏻

Windy

I like the app itself, its interface is well designed and intuitive. However, I use the app mostly in one area for paddle boarding and kayaking trips on the Hudson River in New York City. My route, dictated by the tidal currents and winds—especially when paddle boarding—are limited to about 15 miles north of midtown Manhattan to the Verrazano Narrows (entrance and exit of the upper harbor). I have found over the course of about four years of use that the app’s wind speed predictions are accurate about 50% of the time. On many occasions I have encountered winds about 10 mph greater than predicted or predictions of gusting speeds that are in actuality steady speeds. These are not of much concern for sailors but for other human-powered watercraft it is much more of a factor. All that said I’m not a meteorologist and do know that wind prediction is an extremely complex science, especially so given the complex topography of the area in question in this review.

Accuracy question?

Overall great app. Choose and compare from a list of weather models, and data options like wind speed, wind direction, water temp, air temp just to name a few. Set up alerts for favorable weather conditions. I have mine set for west wind less than 10 mph and swells from south less than 2’ with 10 second period, another words flat conditions.I do however question the accuracy of the information. Example: the interior bay should be around 80 deg, the ocean around 65-75, outgoing tide should be 71-75 and incoming tide should be 60-65. If you look at the data there’s no temperature difference between incoming and outgoing tide. The data has the same water temp the same for areas mentioned, how can the be?Waters discussed from Barnegat Bay and Barnegat Inlet New Jersey

Great App

This is a great app. The ability to compare different weather models on one screen is unique to all other weather apps. The info you can customize on your personal forecasts is great, too. I get just about everything I want, displayed in the order I want to read it. I even pay the annual subscription because I feel strongly enough that they have earned my business. I got so sick of Apple Weather and The Weather Channel predicting 0% chance of rain for a Saturday and then updating their forecasts when the rain hits (while I’m getting soaked). I do not miss those days. My only wish- a way to know the water temperature at each location. Maybe there is already a way to track this and I’ve not found it yet. Anyways, great work.

A narrow-minded review for the rest of us...

This is a very narrow-minded review for those of us who are just weather junkies - we're not flying kites (at least not every day), sailing boats, or otherwise out playing in the wind. We just want the best weather info available, both forecasted and observed.I've got every remotely serious weather app in the app store and subscribe to the premium services of a couple dozen of them. There's only one thing (in my opinion) that this app does that other available apps don't do better (and it's the only one that has this feature at all): it allows you to stack the parameters of several different models for easy comparison. I've created a custom profile that lets me see the model parameters I'm interested in grouped together for easy comparison: temperature, precip, wind, etc. The other Windy app's maps are far better, LuckGrib is far better at displaying the models and ALL the parameters, etc. I could go on with this sort of comparison for pages, but this app is the only that has the killer feature of letting me position the data in a chart in the order I want it - for that reason alone, I pay the subscription. Their support is also first class and they listen to requests from their users. But the custom profile comparison capability is the reason this app has a place on my home screen, and the reason I think it deserves 5 stars in a very crowded category.

Most thorough and well designed wind/weather app

I use this app for sailing. I have downloaded many wind forecast apps, but beyond dedicated weather routing software none come close to the beauty, design, and depth that windy has. First, the interface is simple, easy to navigate, customizable, and puts all the data you need right at your finger tips. Second is the breath of numerical models. In North America you have the trusty GSF, but you also get the benefits of the NAM model and the ICON model. In Europe they have a whole suite of modelsavailable as well. The wind data from all these models can be displayed at the same time so you can use the real world conditions to see which model seems to line up best and thus guide your choices. Third, local wind related shops can advertise in the app. I used it to find boat rentals near me when I go traveling. All in all it is a fantastic app. I wish the developer would make a similar platform except that would incorporate other parameters of the various numerical models so I could have this same interface for parameters such as winds aloft or precipitation. It would also be fun to have some of these other parameters on the global view as well.
