PredictWind — Marine Forecasts

have used this app for a few years Sailing in the Caribbean. I no longer have the boat and he app only allows auto renew, but I didn’t cancel it before the auto renew. Logged in through the website and tried to downgrade to free to cancel it, but it simply went lighter and didn’t seem to complete. Went to the app on my phone, and was able to delete my account. I received an email from customer service, refunding the renewal and explaining the auto-renewal, and handing my comments to development to see if they can improve. The app is good, but customer service exceptional, earning a 5 star rating.

I use your app constantly for sailing and I commend you for a job well done (as I was a programmer for 50 years). As a suggestion, I would like the Forecast Alert be more precise and here is why. If you sail and are going out for the day, one hour that the parameters that are set up by the user meets the predicted wind speed, etc., the user receives an alert. But the alert might be for just the first hour and the rest of the day there might be too little or too much wind. The set up of the alert should be if the user sets the alert from 10:00am - 2:00pm, the parameters should be met for all 4 hours and then an alert would sent out. It would just add a very powerful element to your app for all the day sailors out there that could use your app more efficiently. Just a thought!

I have used this apps for a couple of years. This year I upgraded to basic as we are cruising up the inside passage to Alaska. The basic package says it includes 1km resolution forecast maps; 9 saved forecast locations; wave, rain, cloud, isobar maps; wind observations; and forecast alerts. I don’t get most of that. After emailing the help desk they told me I only get one 1km resolution map, as in 1 and never another and I don’t get wave maps. Those are the only reasons I upgraded. There are several other apps that will give you the information they are giving for free. Skip if you want more detail or want to deal with an honest company. If I could post a picture of what they tell is included I would.
