Windy.app — Wind, Tides, Radar

As a major marine biologist, it is very crucial for me to be able to ensure the safety of my team before we make our long voyage into the ocean… This app has been used by my coworkers/colleagues in order to see the latest forecasts and even possible navigation issues along our routes. I would recommend this app to anyone who is looking for a high quality app that gives in depth looks into the predicted weather patterns and wave lengths which are known to fluctuate daily. Now this app does have its ups and downs (as all apps nowadays do) and I would request that the prices of the premium coverage would be lowered. Also, for my coworker, she told me that her app was not working very well because of technical issues, of which included her app crashing when she tried to enter… how can I help her fix this? Back to the suggestions, could those who are not on the premium package PLEASE have access to more in depth coverage? My friend who owns a fishing business went out to catch blue marlins, came back with quite the story to tell about how his app had told him the waves would be high tide in his area, but resulted in actually being low tide… Blue marlins are very hard fish to catch and can be especially difficult to catch when the currents and waves are shifted. Once again, please consider this. I get y’all need to make money in order to keep your business running, but that is a very bad look. Not meaning that in a rude manner but really. Anyways, I personally have never experienced any major issues that have drastically affected my work or outlook on this app, so I can speak with truth when it comes to recommending this to the general public. The app can be a little difficult to interpret if not familiar with nautical terms but definitely is worth the admission. Thanks for keeping us updated, and keep working hard!

My name is Bill Maxwell I am the owner and operator of the sport fishing boat TunaFever. From April through November my 57 foot sport fish weather permitting seven days a week between 45 and 55 miles offshore. We operate out of the Oregon in Inlet fishing center located in Nagshead North Carolina on the outer banks. Most of our fishing is done on the western wall of the golf stream where it crosses the hundred fathom them curve. This app Windy is by far the most reliable source of information that I can use to determine whether I’m gonna have a safe day a beautiful day or whether I should go at all it’s an important factor on how I treat my people for my business because of the accuracy of this app. I’ve been in business for 34 years and looked at all kinds of things for information for safe passage in the ocean and yours is by far the best I recommend it to anyone and it is been my pleasure to use it thank you so much Captain Bill Maxwell !!!!

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.
