Windy.com - Weather & Radar Positive Reviews

Great on iPhone 8, issues dragging the map on the 11I loved this app so much! Having lived in 2 locations that are frequented by hurricanes, Florida & Coastal North Carolina, this app is a MUST during hurricane season. I used it all the time on my iPhone 8 with no issues. But I just got the iPhone 11, and noticed one issue I never had on the iPhone 8. And seeing no other reviews describing this same issue (the iPhone 11 has only been out now for 4 days), I felt I should report it just in case others have the same issue, and so maybe a fix can occur. I have tried restarting my phone and reinstalling the app, but problem persists. The issue happens when you try to drag the map to look at other locations. Instead of the animated map moving to reveal more of the map, it zooms in. Making it impossible to look at other locations, other than the default location. I was able to move it only a little but it was a battle getting it to respond at al and would still only do that while simultaneously zooming in. If I am doing something wrong, please let me know! But I still say it’s been the best visual weather app out there! And I hope this problem goes away soon! I will change my rating to 5 stars if I can get it to work again..Version: 20.11

The best weather app out thereI was a huge fan of Storm from WeatherUnderground and hadn't checked out the other options recently, but when The Weather Channel killed Storm and replaced it with a mediocre weather channel version I had a look at the other options and was very happy to find Windy. It's so much much better than the others, let me count (a few of) the ways: You can pick your forecast model! And then compare the different models to see where they differ! That to me is a game changer. The timeline along the bottom is so great to see how pressure and fronts will move - I feel like I've learned a lot just by using the app. The many layer options are great - set it for what you want to see and don't be distracted by what you don't. And of course the wind animation options make for a visually appealing interface. Seeing how the different altitude winds are moving and changing is so useful and interesting. I'd gladly pay money for this app, there are just so many great things to say about it. And if all you want is a sun, a cloud, or an umbrella for where you live that's there for you too. I was bummed when Storm was killed off but am so happy to have found this great app..Version: 16.04

Access to the models professionals useAlso Can compare them, and probably learn a lot more too if you have less formal meteorological training. Having more access to well formatted data instead of it being fed to you and summarized as in other apps is important especially to those who depend heavily on weather such as myself occasionally working in the marine industry on Great Lakes and outdoor activities or professions. It’s important to understand that models do not always get it perfect so being able to compare them for discrepancy and integrate into your own local knowledge is crucial on the water or anywhere really when serious mission critical planning or at least some decent foresight is required. This app allows you to do that. I’d say this app is the main thing to have and then some shortcuts for a few NOAA pages allowing you to get some of the same information in a low bandwidth format when service is poor … other than Sirius nav weather on an MFD for when there is zero cell coverage… this is what you need to be as confident as anyone can be about completing dangerous marine work on a Great Lake like superior..Version: 40.10032

Commercial FishermanWas skeptical at first that this could depict weather changes so precisely, but found that it is mostly correct. I think a lot of it is due to the quirky geography of the mountains and lengthy valleys near the waterways that I commercial fish during the winter months. Windy seems to be very quickly incorporating these local weather phenomena into their depictions, so we’ll see how precise it becomes later on. Just during the past week or so there have been many multiple changes in wind direction and intensity, and Windy has managed to plot all them out very well. A vast improvement over the NOAA text and audio based descriptions that also lack general time periods when the wind is going to switch and intensify. I do not own a large fishing boat that can brute force it’s way through anything over 30 knots, so I have to play by the rules the wind lays out for me. Windy has vastly improved my planning for weather headed my way. Very surprised Windy is as good as others have said it is, and very happy with this free service. It is rapidly gaining popularity among the commercial fleet here in Alaska..Version: 22.03

Best weather app everHonestly I never review apps, because at best most are simply acceptable for their designed purpose. This app, however, is worth mentioning, in that it is easily the most comprehensive (not to mention accurate) weather resource you can put on your phone, with a super intuitive interface, and greater functionality in the free version than you can get in all other paid weather apps I’m aware of. Furthermore, and almost most importantly to me, this app is basically ad-free, and doesn’t bloat up your phone with unnecessary and invasive adware the way most others do. Simply put, this app is exceptional, fantastic on all levels, and something that I will eventually pay for simply to support. Kudos and thanks to Ivo & the team for making this app a reality. Weather geeks (professional or otherwise,) do yourself a favor and download this one. It’s really a beautiful thing..Version: 33.1.1.5

Pretty great as far as weather apps go.Very user-friendly for being as in depth as it is, and that makes it a both a joy and a useful teaching tool. But I want more. I’d really like this to take the place of all, or at least most, of the web sites I use. I’ll list 3 things specifically: 1. Access to more computer models. Instead of just the deterministic GFS and ECMWF, add the 30 and 50 ensembles, respectively, or at least a blend. The Canadian model and its ensembles. The HRRR. The UKMET. Any of the big boys that I haven’t listed here. Also some CAM’s for short term. And being able to plot the data in charts and meteograms instead of just maps. 2. Forecasts, short-term and long-term, for the oscillations that drive the earth’s weather, i.e. the Madden-Julian and ENSO. 3. Archived history of weather maps and surface observations at airport, marine, mesonet and personal weather stations. I understand these are big asks—and not likely to be of much use to most people—but as a 2nd, elite subscription tier for 9.99 a month, I’d buy in..Version: 34.3.2

My lifeline to weatherWe live aboard our boat full time. In Continental US waters, there are lots of weather apps as well as local forecasts to keep one safe on the water. Outside the US, radar and forecasting gets a lot harder. Windy has been the sole app that gives us our local radar and forecast as well as all the regular features used for sailing. With the addition of more hurricane features, it has become indispensable to assist with keeping us informed and safe. That’s a lot for an app. My only beef is that when you open the app, it always has the New Hurricane Tracker page that you must X out of to close. Can we not leave that there? When I’m constantly opening the app, it got old real fast. Otherwise, I truly appreciate the local weather in remote areas as well as all of the regular features. Thank you so very much!.Version: 39.020140

Use it all the time for long distance cruise planning as well as for local fishing tripsI have weather XM subscription on my Garmin chart plotter, but it only gets me a wind view out 3 days. Windy gives me an outlook on wind and swell direction as far as a week out. I find this invaluable for our summer cruising in the Bahamas. It allows me to line up wind and waves to best suit my boat and allows me to give my passengers a better ride on passages. Together with Weather XM and internet weather reports, I can minimize bad weather experiences for my guests (and wife) so they will want to come back again and again! I use Windy more than any of the others mentioned because it’s so handy and can be taken easily from boat to boat. Wherever I carry my phone (which is everywhere) I can get wind and sea conditions. If you’re a boater, you will love this app..Version: 37.2.0.10

Great app for truck driversAs a truck driver in the southwest, this app is amazing because I can monitor wind speeds and weather to make my job a little bit safer since it’s always windy here. we actually use it in our dispatch office as well. I started out with the free version, but I liked it so much I opted to get the premium subscription. I’d say Radar Omega is a little better if you’d like to track just thunderstorms and tornadoes, but this app is especially great for tracking windspeeds, but also does a good job on other severe weather. With the premium version you have access to all kinds of different layers between wind, rain, snow, ozone, temperatures, drought maps, all kinds of stuff. 50+ different ones actually. i’d recommend it and I’d say it’s probably the best “all around” weather app that I’ve come across so far..Version: 39.030355

Miss Dark Sky? Try Windy.Dark Sky was a marvelously innovative weather app that Apple brought and then turned into the grotesque mashup that is now the Apple weather app. Such a waste. But all is not lost: Windy picks up the torch with a fast, fluid, intuitive user interface that displays a multitude of weather charts at the tap of a finger. Weather radar, satellite, wind direction and velocity, lightning (with sound if you like), waves(!), air quality, and more additional charts than space conveniently allows me to mention. There’s a paid tier that supposedly gives you things like higher radar resolution, but the free version seems to work well for me. On the other hand I might subscribe just so that when Apple comes calling the folks at Windy won’t really need the money..Version: 38.10520

So Close To The Only Weather App You’ll NeedI have used Windy for over a year and value it enough to subscribe to the premium level. It is worth the annual fee and a 5-Star rating except for one single missing feature. The app is very flexible and powerful. With a selections from the menu a user can see anything from from a simple local forecast to see the long term trends in an area. If you are a pilot, surfer, or someone who really wants a deep dive in to important aspects of the weather that is easily available too. Also important - Windy accurately forecasts the weather. It even allows you to chose from several forecasting models should you believe a particular model is more accurate. Yet all of the flexibility provides some frustration, and judging by the forum, many other users. Windy seems to have a single default view that applies to all users. So then each time we open the app we have to remember and find all of the menus selections to display the weather the individual user wants. It takes a minute or two to get this set so no big deal - but then again this is required every time a user opens the app. If Windy allowed a user to set a default view this would solve that issue and then from my perspective, be the only weather app I need..Version: 33.0.4

The best, but incorporate meteoblue maps?As a developer myself, I really appreciate the quality of work going into an app like this. The fact that you have 5 comparable forecast models that can also be compared with ground station data really sets this apart. It’s hard to ask for more. That being said… I want more!!! Could you please incorporate meteoblue maps, at least for temperature and wind? It’s misleading when I select meteoblue as the forecast model but the map continues to display the previous “map supported” global model (ECMWF GFS or ICON). If meteoblue only supports some data, I’d prefer a warning message saying “we can’t show this because it doesn’t exist”, rather than the current behavior of showing me something that does exist but isn’t what I asked for. Additionally, selecting NAM 5km from the same menu seems to prematurely “snap back” to ECMWF. I dislike, but still prefer, the tendency of NAM 5km to only switch to ECMWF when the modeled region goes *completely* out of view (which is my experience when selecting NAM from the side-bar, rather than within the forecast menu). I’d like no switching at all, but it’s not a big inconvenience. Thanks, and keep up the great work!.Version: 29.2.7

Metars and Models and Satellites oh my!I’ve been a severe weather enthusiast for years I also have a very busy, not-weather related profession so I always seem to spend the first week before tornado reason trying to relocate all of the meteorological data online. No more! With Windy I can old-school my forecasts based on surface data, or I can flip through model data. The settings and visual layering are incredible! Thanks to the developers for an amazing, thoughtful app! I’m just kicking myself that I’m only now finding this. If you are looking for a standard, user-friendly “here’s your local forecast”, kind of app, this app is probably not your best bet. If you are a chaser, spotter, forecaster, weather enthusiast or anyone working in the marine world, this app is the best I’ve come across!.Version: 26.1.4

Premium offer does not workApp is great! I thought I should support the developers because I use it all the time so I opted for the premium version. I would rate it 5 stars but for the problems I had activating the premium features. To activate the premium subscription one needs to login through the Windy app. However, I created my account years ago on the web, and the app did not recognize my login credentials so there was no way to “activate” my premium subscription. I tried numerous times using different paths, changing passwords, etc but could not get it to work. However, the next day I tried again and it was successful. I don’t know what happened, but I am happy with the app..Version: 28.1.1

Well doneI’ve been looking for a long time for an app with this much functionality, as well-designed, and with as active community engagement. And, at the moment, it’s free, and with no ads. If you find it as useful as I do, however, the subscription is very reasonable compared to the couple of other “professional” services I have seen. I happily signed up. These people are obviously focused on providing the best and most usable data and visualization possible. I’ve seen too many really good starts go down the drain when someone corporate comes along with better ideas for monetization that ends up killing the thing (I’m looking at you, Storm). I tip my hat to the Windy team..Version: 27.1.2

Storm RecoverySince the Weather Channel ruined the Storm app, I turned to Windy to get the wind animation and multi-city forecasts that I was accustomed to. Windy provides all that I seek in a weather app, and more. It did take time to find things, and my iPad version still will only show 3 overlay options, but lots of other display choices I do not care about and did not select in the same column of choices. Once I (accidentally) found the meteograms I am fascinated, but wish there was some place to learn what the detailed meaning. I also wish that front symbols would be able to display with temperatures, wind, or rain. I find the thunderstorm info distracting and wish I could turn it off..Version: 15.15

Excellent app, unstable at the momentI am a sailor, forest fire warden, pilot, an outdoor enthusiast who has been a paid subscriber for many years, and have always used Windy to get a good overview of the long-range models. It is the best general presentation of forecast models available. I used Windy on both an iPhone and iPad Pro with equal success. However, in the last few weeks it has become very unstable and crashes soon after initiating. I have followed all the developer’s recommendations for correcting the installation on the user’s end but to no avail. I suspect there still is some condition that they haven’t resolved and I hope they can figure it out. Good luck!.Version: 33.1.1.8

Most accurate weather app out there!I’ve been using the Windy app for about 3 years now and no other app pales in comparison. The fact that you actually get access to multiple forecast models including the European model is quite phenomenal as it’s not offered on many (if any) other weather applications. Many of my friends have come to think I’m some sort of weather guru as I’m always warning them when the wind is going to be kicking up. We live in an area with quite a few trees so being a step ahead as well as warning friends and family is always a good thing. Keep up the stellar work!.Version: 38.10520

My favorite appThis app is the most complete I've found and tells you day you can also see the days of a lot of rain. And I can say I've never removed it from my phone because I've had it since the hurricane irma and right now there's a hurricane coming to Mexico but it doesn't offer aAnd I can say I've never removed it from my phone because I've had it since the hurricane irma and right now there's a hurricane coming to Mexico but it doesn't offer any danger. Unload it. You will not regret putting play and you will see the days as you walk and you see the day the hurricane arrives at us. Thanks to us..Version: 29.2.7

The perfect weather app—almostI started using Windy about five years ago primarily for boating on the inland passage in the Pacific Northwest. It was a great adjunct to other resources and it quickly became my go to weather app. I have enjoyed watching it improve over the past five years. The capabilities are almost endless. I have not even scratched the surface of many of the features and layers. The only negative is the last upgrade is unstable and will frequently crash for no apparent reason. The people at Wendy seem proactive and are interested in keeping things in good working order so I hope this will resolve soon..Version: 33.1.1.8

Windy WeatherI have found Windy to be one of the best weather apps available. I particularly like the ability to view four different weather models, and to look forward several days with the predictions. A few suggestions: It would be nice if you could see both the selected menu item AND the particular legend. Currently, after you select a specific item, I.e. rain accumulation, you have to X out of the menu before the ledge down come up at the bottom. It would be nice if you could see both at the same time and just circulate between menu items. The font is pretty small at the bottom...great data, but have a look at the formatting....in some cases things are impossible to read since they are overlapping, such as cloud altitudes. Rain vs. Snow accumulation.......it’s confusing. Looks to be the same physical accumulation data, but we know inches of snow isn’t inches of water.... Would be nice to be able to zoom the map like all other apps........instead of just having several different fixed scales. This is a wonderful app, and I encourage you to keep making it better. Thanks..Version: 17.05

Click click click click click clickThis may not be a deal breaker for some, however, one of Windy’s featured map overlays is Weather Radar, it is cool over lay for severe weather. The overlays shows rain intensity, lightning, and even makes sounds when lightning strikes. The overlay has one major major oversight by Windy, there is no way to disable or turn off the lightning strike clicking. This clicking WILL drive you nuts, windys silly community voting approach for features only after you sign up is quite a stupid model. I love the app, hate the clicking and the oversight from their devs to turn it off and the stupid community voting approach, thus three stars. Most likely will delete it after I find a comparable app..Version: 39.10337

Sometimes I’m luckyI have a nice RV with a large deck on a lake. What’s on the deck, plants and some furniture, can take serious damage from wind and rain that blows sideways. Knowing how much wind and wind direction is critical for my potted plants, which can happily fly off the tables if it gets too windy. Windy keeps me informed of wind and wind gusting with direction as well as how much rain is expected. The maps showing wind direction is very cool but I love watching the storms on radar. I can replay the last hour or more of the radar and can see if the storm is hitting or missing. I set out to find a better weather app, and this is it. Lucky again!.Version: 29.2.7

Weather for everyone!FINALLY! - A weather app for adults. This app is amazingly sophisticated and deep with information enough to satisfy the most dedicated weather geek, yet simple enough so that you can see all the details of a 10 day forecast in one chart. The animated wind and storm overlays are absolutely the best I’ve seen in any weather app. The only thing lacking is a detailed video analysis of the weather situation for a particular area, but these are fraught with ads in other weather apps, and with a little education and the information provided by this app you could nearly compose your own video..Version: 28.1.1

BEST EVER!!!I’ll update this later in more detail... but your app is the BEST... I SERIOUSLY MEAN BEST... of every other weather app I’ve ever known and downloaded in the last 7 years! Everything from data sources, detailed info, everything for a weather nerd as myself... almost could be a meteorologist lol! I’m a geologist so love everything related to Earth’s science... I’ll post an update later... but need to say THANK YOU for the best app EVER! 😃 Thank everybody that aided in developing your app Once I’ve available funds... I seriously wish to contribute as much as possible to the developers! FYI... this is the first review I’ve EVER submitted for an app... so everyone should now understand my love of this app!.Version: 22.03

Best map of NYCWe love Windy. It's beautiful and though we din't understand most of what's in it and the interface is non-intuitive, that's fine because it is a really serious map for people who are knowledgeable about weather — which we are not. But, we love having perfectly fresh information and, living in New York City, we are thrilled by one feature of the map which we have not found in google apps or Apple maps or anybody else's maps — the street numbers of the buildings! Saves us from the annoying experience of coming out of the subway only to find we are walking the wrong way down the street. Wonderful!.Version: 21.05

Hands Down The Best Weather AppI have tried just about every weather app there is. But now I have found a keeper. Most of the others are either to hard to navigate, too cluttered and way too many adds. This one is so well laid out. It is easy to navigate and has everything you want in a weather app. It has satellite, radar, wind , cloud cover , thunderstorms and even snow accumulations for the winter months. You name it is there. I am using the free version and you are not bombarded with adds or them asking you too upgrade. Give this app a try and you will be glad you did.Version: 29.2.7

Great app for all weather lovers!!!This is one of my favorite free weather apps. It’s not just winds, which as a weather lover and sailor is wonderful, it has an awesome radar system. Shows lightning strikes that light up, wind and gusts, cloud cover, and a great real-time/future option for wind, jet streams, and tropical storms! So many options that took me a while to realize it had. Like GFS and Euro models for future weather and hurricanes. Honestly my number one go to for storm watching and 99% of all my weather information needs. Have turned probably hundreds of people like me on to this app! Keep it going because ya’ll are doing everything right!!!!.Version: 20.11

Found my weather appHaving tried at least 5 other weather apps over time, I found Windy last week before hurricane Henri (I’m in NE US). I find it to be truly better, and has a different kind of design than then others. As I look through options, I find it’s not hard to navigate and an absolute wealth of info is available and easy to find. I try an unpaid version before upgrading, on the reasoning that if I find the first tier is great, I will eventually want the paid upgrade. In the free version, things are beautifully laid out, so Windy has my vote!.Version: 30.102

It’s your right to not like changesI love the statement that tho company used in a expansion of why the changes…it’s their right to the changes and if we don’t like it that’s our right to disagree. I have used this app over the last few years and it has helped with many forecasts of upcoming issues. Since the company has used the right to change things, it is as useless as some of the other weather apps on the market. But like all people now looking for an edge of making more money change is happening. The app did have some of the best features on the market. I do thank the developers for the time the allowed us poor folks the use of the product..Version: 38.01049

Great Companion with your current Weather appI have my weatherbug app and I think this is great companion with weatherbug the big reason why is the 36 map layers I think that the whole lot of layers in the app and weatherbug has 18 that’s only half the layers. I like the wind and wind gust maps because you can storms. I think this very helpful for pilots, skydiving, paragliders and more. Also your latest addition extreme forcast if you think your getting a lot of rain it will show you if it’s normal, unusual, or extreme event Also again a great companion with your current weather app if accuweather or weatherbug or weather channel it’s great thank you.Version: 19.1802

InvaluableI write a weather blog on Facebook for my rural community in North Carolina, building local forecasts and discussions Originally from the US high plains of eastern Colorado, being weather aware could be a matter of life and death due to severe storms in summer, blizzards in winter, so I’ve been a meteorology enthusiast and studier since a young kid. Getting the model output of the NAM / ECMF & GFS has, until this app, required finding obscure university / government websites -relying on upkeep and maintenance of these pages - and none of these were practical over mobile The only things I could think of to improve the app are NOAA / Met Office warning polygons on the radar view, the inclusion of the US RAP Rapid Refresh model and theta-e (equivalent potential temperature) maps But these are minor quibbles on an otherwise highly sophisticated and immensely useful weather app Highly recommend for meteorologists, weather enthusiasts or people who want weather model data at their fingertips.Version: 26.1.4

ComprehensiveThis weather app is by far the most creative and comprehensive view of weather I’ve ever seen. As an outdoor person and one who gets out on the waters in our boat, the info can be tailored to cover just about any circumstance: example, wind speed and direction relative to Lows and Highs, relationship of wave actions to swells, and active tide/current data. There just is no other app that I know of that is so comprehensive, and I have yet to utilize all the features, like cloud formations at different altitudes. Keep up the good work! So many great apps “get better” and lose their utility...please,please, maintain your integrity!.Version: 24.0.4

Very interactive weather information and forecastsOriginally started with nice graphical display of wind streamlines acroos the world with smoothly varying scales. Now has forecast models for all weather models, noteably ECMWF, GFS, NAM, HRRR and ICON. This app has forecasts for varying pressure levels, some not available even on commercial apps. I love the webcam feature that allows me to see webcams anywhere in the world. You can set favorite locations to get local forecasts. This app lets you be the weatherman, more so than other weather apps. I have the paid for version to get hourly forecast increments..Version: 41.020350

Help!Update I want to thank the developers for their persistence and patience in assisting me with gaining access to my premium subscription across all devices. The only thing better than the incredible performance of Windy is the amazing team that provide support for the application. Thank you once again!! I’m trying to seek assistance with accessing my Premium account. It appears on my iPhone but will not allow me to access it on my iPad. Somehow my account has been corrupted and I am not able to access help in a traditional manner..Version: 33.1.1.8

BrilliantI am a recent refugee from weather underground who have just destroyed their app with the worlds least advisable update. So I have been hunting through a dozen apps for something to make my new go-to source for all things weather. This is it! Totally what I probably always wanted but never knew existed or was possible in an app form. I read all the local NWS Discussions but never before could actually see the eg ECMWF or GFS forward projections to understand anything more. Your app gives me a whole new window into understanding the weather of Southern California and controls thereof. So happy!.Version: 22.03

Excellent appThis app is wonderful for planning and for knowing what’s going on outside. The various layers are super-helpful for Flight planning as well. The simple and intuitive interface is very user friendly. I like that one can get as detailed as they want, with meteograms, etc. Before it was changed, I used to use the Storm app as a supplement, because it showed surface prog charts and storm tracks. Those would be two layers that this app could benefit from ASAP. The other Change I would make would be to be able to place several layers on at once (cloud base and CAPE, for example)..Version: 14.0901

Founded Cayman Windsurf in the late eighties, so always been “following the Wind”.This is an Awesome App giving a clear, big-picture, graphical clarification of which coast of our Island, Grand Cayman is directly facing an onshore wind at each point during the period as a storm approaches, collides with, passes and recedes from our shores. Vitally important for those living on the coast, who are wondering when the sea is going to be threatening property, life and limb! And when an offshore wind will turn a typically windward-shore into a calmlGoon. Fascinating to see how systems from hundreds of miles away produce stormy conditions. Love it. Thank you!

Rain accumulation featureI recently used the Windy app and overall, I absolutely loved it. The app was very user-friendly and had a lot of features that proved to be extremely useful in planning my outdoor activities. However, there is one major issue that I came across after the recent update. It seems that the app has removed access to rain accumulation updates, even for the next 3 days. This was quite disappointing as I found this feature to be very informative and helpful in planning my day or week ahead. As a result, I recently deleted the Windy app from my phone. While I appreciate all of the features and capabilities that the app offers, it simply wasn't necessary for me at this point in time. Despite this, I would still highly recommend the Windy app to anyone who is looking for a reliable weather app. Its accuracy and detailed information on wind speeds, temperature, pressure, and more are truly impressive,.Version: 38.10520

Review for iPhone onlyI used to think that Windy for iPhone did not work, but I think that I was using it incorrectly, as I’m used to the iPad version, and the phone version is different. I’ve been using Windy for at least six months on the iPad and it works quite well. I now thin the iPhone version is quite good as well. I like that one swipes the calendar beneath the time widget, instead of trying to drag the widget as one must on the iPad. I’d suggest this feature migrate to iPad as well. The other thing I’d like to see is to have winds and gusts display together, or better yet, have all selected data types display at once. Windy is a fine app..Version: 16.04

Best DIY weather appIf you want to be your own meteorologist, this is the app. You have four models to choose from, including the renowned ECMWF, and can make your own comparison among the four. If you like the autonomy and are willing to take a little more time, you can do wonders with this app. If you prefer to let a meteorologist do the work, then you’re better off with your local weather station, keeping in mind that the forecasters are working from these same models. I live in a remote area in Alaska where there is no forecast available and for this situation Windy is invaluable..Version: 21.05

Windy’s Accuracy and Marine ApplicationHaving free access to Windy has significantly improved the safety and enjoyment of sailing for my wife and I. We didn’t have the budget for a subscription weather forecasting application and have relied on Windy forecasts exclusively to sail 1200 miles to Puerto Vallarta. Studying the changes in airpressure, wind velocity and direction; and the resulting wave and cloud cover forcasts has greatly improve our understanding of the effects of airpressure on weather conditions at sea and thus safety. Our experience comparing forecasted with actual conditions has found Windy to be extremely accurate..Version: 25.0.0

Was terrific; now gone greedyI’ve been using Windy for years and loved every minute. The recent updates however are pushing users to “go premium” for a cost. I’d rather put up with ads than pay as if I had to pay for all the apps I want to use, my retirement income would be used up and my dog and I would starve. Of course the real target is younger, working people who don’t mind the $3 here and $5 there (per month.) A better model is to pay once for premium and leave it at that but with so many being sold and then bought by profit greedy new owners, the better model apps are few and far between..Version: 39.10337

Windy wonderfulI have been a practising professional meteorologist for over 40 years with the Canadian Armed Forces (sea, land, and air), the Meteorological Service of Canada, and with the private sector as a consultant. Positions I have held include Manager of the Ottawa Regional Weather Forecast Centre, and subsequently Director of Aviation and Defence Services providing all aviation weather services to Nav Canada and all weather and oceanographic services to Canada’s military. Retired now and an avid cyclist and outdoors person, I use Windy daily for all my weather needs no matter where on the globe I may happen to be and as the main tool in providing personalized forecasts to friends and family scattered over the globe. It is a superb global weather data and forecast outputs visualization tool. It integrates numerous data sets from numerous countries seemlessly via an extremely intuitive user interface. Data sets such as precipitation from weather radars and strikes from lightning networks are combined into a common multi-national map background that one can scale easily. Ditto for most orbiting weather satellites. It pulls in 3-D numerical weather model outputs from numerous major modelling centres and provides tools to view multiple output fields overlaid onto scalable maps or in tables covering time spans, the vertical dimension, or surface outputs from multiple models together for comparison. In a word, it blows away the tools presently on most professional weather forecasters desks in major national weather services and private sector firms and, best of all, it is FREE!.Version: 20.11

Very informativeIf you’re really into weather, this is the app for you..Version: 39.020140

App crashSince the last update, the app is crashing. Even if I restart it, there's nothing to do.Version: 20.8

Snow depthJust wondering why my new phone has no snow depth shown on app. Do I have to pay subscription to get it back ? Just wondering do not want to pay if it’s not available. Thank you.Version: 38.00004

GoodishAlthough I like the app they need to implement Apple standard to sign up so I can use hide my email..Version: 30.102

HmmIt was good until a month ago. Temperature differences 10 - 15 degrees ????.Version: 40.10032

One of the best weather apps, but have a recommendation.This is the main app I use to find weather info for not only my area, but globally. The only recommendation is to make the weather radar display different colors for different types of precipitation such as blue for snow and pink for freezing rain and ice pellets..Version: 37.2.5.27

LearningI find this to be my best weather app and accuracy is fair. Comparing forecasts across a number of apps gives me the best rural forecast. I have found windy to be the most accurate and I appreciate that past weather is not deleted as soon as “now” passes in time. This allows me to see what occurred overnight, upon waking. I would like if there was instructions or a tutorial as I am not able to use many of the features. Kindly, Brad Interlake MB Canada 🇨🇦.Version: 38.00004

Keep AccessibleWell I have been enjoying the Windy App for many years until you’ve decided to make the most basic features only accessible to those that upgrade! Looking at the upgrade features isn’t even worth the cost. These forecasts models are really useful to have and only making them available to those who upgrade is really disappointing! I’ve been very impressed with your app and have always recommended it to others, until now! I couldn’t write a review with less than 2 stars???.Version: 38.00004

Outstanding!Incredibly entertaining, informative, and exciting app to use. With so many features I often lose track of time just playing around with this app! And the traffic cameras are awesome!!.Version: 37.2.5.24

Too Good for the Human RaceThere is no way to truly appreciate this in one lifetime. Excellent app.Version: 37.2.5.24

Truck driverThe best application ever, I use it a lot in my work to be able to plan my trip, I would recommend it to everyone because it is reliable 👍👍👍👍👍.Version: 37.2.4.23

Love this appEspecially the nice meteogram display. Compact and efficient, clearly shows temps and pressure trends, cloud cover, precipitation. Oh did I mention it’s also accurate? All that’s missing is the nicely Interpolated radar maps from the now defunct dark sky. Monetization is unobtrusive and very reasonable, a rare thing nowadays..Version: 33.1.1.5

Windyty short review.Windyty is awesome!!! Hardcore 5 stars!! It helps me fish, hunt, plan my kayaking and mountain biking trips so as the amount of snow for snowmobiling and skiing. It’s such a precise application on wind speed, gusts, temperature and even the amount of snow on the ground and it’s density. Sick app, try it out!.Version: 29.2.7

GREAT APP!Great app but needs more Widgets!! Particularly the smaller square one for the iPhone! Will give 5 stars for more widgets, but won’t be paying for it!.Version: 33.1.1.5

Excellent at both Simple or ComplexI’m a kayak commuter and my life depends on Windy. Gives a 7-day snapshot of key factors, or you can dig deep. Does wind, swell, temperature, and lots more. Amazingly accurate on rain, in 3 hour windows. It is my most trusted, favourite and most accurate weather app..Version: 27.3.1

Awesome and thoroughI go offshore west coast vancouver island and rely on Windy forecast and weather and found Windy to be most reliable and accurate!!!!!.Version: 25.4.5

Awesome... mesmerizing.Easily one of the very slickest weather app out there. Nice work team!!!.Version: 12.14

Awesome reliable app!As paraglider pilot this app help me a lot checking different conditions, winds , thermic and more! Love it!.Version: 41.020350

Great for weather nerds!I’m a wildfire fighter, and I love using the premium version of Windy. The exceptional amount of data available on windy is incredible. It’s useful for daily planning both during a fire op, and during down days. Would recommend the free version to everyone but if you love weather, and have a more advanced knowledge of weather or want to develop this, treat yourself to the premium app!.Version: 41.020350

Most Awesome Weather AppAs a cruising sailor, I just can’t live without Windy to plan my moves around Florida and the Bahamas. It’s become an essential part of our daily routine...and our safety really depends on it! Keep up the great work!!.Version: 41.020350

Flying to workI work in northern Labrador and the weather means a lot when flying to work and home to Newfoundland.Version: 41.020350

Most useful app I’ve recommendedSince I discovered Windy I have used it as a professional ski guide and Kiteboarder. I actually give workshop’s on how to use the app. It’s the only app I have that I maintain a yearly membership. Bravo Windy..Version: 41.020350

Great app ❤️ itExceptional app always accurate and better than the weather network if I could give more ⭐️’s I would been using this since I discovered this app many yrs ago ! Had full version till I bought new cell cause I lost my old one but downloaded the app again cause I just love how flawless this works.Version: 41.020350

Windy appWould have been 5 star if the radar worked on the latest Apple Watch..Version: 41.020350

Very AccurateAlways there when you need it..Version: 41.020350

Love climate changeThis is the most elaborate weather app on the market, from simple to sofisticated..Version: 41.020350

Love it.A friend recommended this app 7 years ago and I’ve never stopped using it. I go on outdoor adventures the majority of days and count on it to plan ahead locally and when travelling. Great for running, road cycling, paddle boarding, hiking, disc golf, mountain biking, photography, predicting sunrises and sunsets, etc. Critical for determining what to wear, sunscreen, hydration and all that. I’ve cycled the Welland Canal twice in the last week and will again in 3 days all while the weather has Yo-Yoed up to spring like weather and down to snow and cold 3 times. The days of being caught in bad weather are over. I use Windy to observe news worthy issues like atmospheric rivers, snow events, floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, heat, or anything happening around the world. Cloud cover forecasts can be iffy sometimes. It was pretty good free and I decided to subscribe as I depend on it so much. There is a learning curve involved but it pays to go through it..Version: 41.020350

Great weather appThis is my favourite weather app by far. An endless amount of layers depending on your interests. If you’re an aviator or a real enthusiast there is a premium version but It’s pricey. The free version works just fine for the average person..Version: 41.020350

I rely on Windy. Thank youI have relied on Windy for a few years and use it daily. Mostly for recreation but often for sailing and serious weather decisions. As an offshore sailing navigator I also have expensive tools for routing etc that do not match the forecasting features and functions I have been getting from Windy for free. With regular and meaningful updates. So I donated a few times over the years whenever they asked. Today I saw even more features and a paywall for premium features. Very happy to hit that wall and pay a bit for the best tool available. Thank you Windy team!.Version: 41.020350

Amazing weather serviceThe best.Version: 41.020350

Best weather appThe best weather app by far. Always accurate and absolutely worth the subscription.Version: 41.020348

C’est ma meilleure appli pour mes sports extérieurs.Powerkite, hiking, biking sont bien planifiées avec tous les possibilités que nous offre Windy !!! Merci !.Version: 41.010241

Why I believein WindyThe only weather related app and site that shows the actual weather systems and realtime conditions, and based on their relative movement accurately prdicts how these conditions will interact and shape the weather ahead with any degree of accuracy. Also no hype to generate traffic to the website as some sites do, thereby allowing those site to generate revenue through advertising on the site..Version: 40.010234

Loving itVery helpful, quick easy reference . Thanks.Version: 40.10032

Windy great windy goodReally enjoy the app. Use it for surf forecasting and storm watching/prep as we live in a very storm impacted zone. As a tool to help make our own plans and predictions it is very helpful. As a way to forecast surf it’s awesome as well. I’ve learned long ago that the surf forecasting apps don’t accurately predict the surf so this one is great as it just gives the numbers and no thoughts on them..Version: 40.10032
