Windfinder Pro: Wind & Weather Positive Reviews

Wind tough to predictWe use this App most frequently when at the shore. Nothing seems more difficult to predict accurately than the wind. This year we also had 4 days on a boat over a 3 week period. They were calm (less than 10mph) as predicted amidst windy days on either side. We have always been impressed with this App but this year 100% was unbelievable. Some of the predictions were a week out. Obviously 100% is not always going to happen. Most years it is 70-80% accurate at Nags Head for us. The mix of water (Gulf and Labrador currents), land, and Fall you have a difficult forecast!.Latka68Version: 5.21.0

Easy to use. AccurateWindfinder is exactly that. Easily pick locations on a map near your favorite launch site or airport and get a 3 hour chunk forecast 10 days in advance or get a 1 hour detailed forecast for the next three days. Easily scroll between your saved favorite locations and get real time wind reports from weather stations. As a bonus, there is a great wind map in motion that is fun to play with a useful for deciding to stay inland on go kiting on a lake or weather it’s worth the drive to the coast..HalaszsmVersion: 5.6.2

Great wave reports for boatingI am surprised that there are not several boating specific apps that give wave height and weather reports. I have looked into and tried several other apps and forecast web sites, but Windfinder has given me the best info presented in an easy to see at a glance just what I am looking for. The “Superforecast” has been great - providing an hourly snapshot of what to expect, and customizable notifications are a bonus. Thank you for a great app!.JSchaefferVersion: 5.14.1

Works for this Lake Sailor!Wind Finder Pro works great on Lake Travis, Austin Texas. We have a Weather beacon at a local park one mile away. The 5 day forecast is mostly accurate. I seldom use the super forecast feature or the fancy wind maps. (Don’t know how). Suggestion: place online documentation on your system so sailors can learn how to use your fancy features and icons. Overall, this weather app is good and reliable. Thanks! Hector.Austin SailorVersion: 5.0.1

My go-to app for outdoor activitiesI live about a mile down the beach from a Windfinder location on Puget Sound, and while I don’t kite surf I do plan my day...walks, yard work, etc...using the hour-by-hour feature of Supercast. I am seldom wrong when I tell neighbors we can do something at 2:00 today because it will be dry from then until 4:00. They are amazed at “my” accuracy. I love that! We often trailer-camp along the Pacific Ocean and I use it the same way for when we can take dry walks on the beach. Windfinder Pro is AWESOME!.Happy Camper 47Version: 5.0.1

Nothing works..??? No menu. Tried reloading APP,blank????Since the APP was changed -nothing works like it should. There are no instructions as to how to use it..tried to set up Favorites but no Menu..seems to be an assumption we know what to push and where to find items??needs a total revamp for ease of use.. Don’t recommend now, used to be best APP and system available...It wasn’t broken,,why ?fix? It... THANK YOU FOR BRINGING BACK ITEMS THAT MADE THIS APP GREAT FOR BOATERS AND CRUISERS.. THE 7 DAY FORECAST WITH ALL THE DATE WE NEED TO MAKE A DECISION TO MOVE OR NOT IS INVALUABLE.. ESPECIALLY LIKE THAT IT IS AVAILABLE FOR NOT JUST WHERE WE ARE, BUT FOR PLACES WE MAYBE GOING..AGAIN, THANK YOU...Rabjob6927Version: 5.0.1

Life / Death / MoneyOwning a barge-marine construction company, the wind single handily dictates our day to day life. I use your site up here on the Great Lakes. In the last 20 years we have left the rig, barge / boat push boat on the open water (overnight) less than 5 times. Less than 5 = 20 years. This particular night your team called for SSW WINDS, single digits over night. Winds at the buoy off of Vermillion OHIO that night were 41 knots out of the N , The push boat was swamped and sank, huge damage to the 80’ X 30’ X 6’ long barge as well. All in all, 150,000 to 175K in damages in which insurance paid 105, 000. The point is this, PEOPLE COUNT ON YOU IN LIFE..... REAL LIFE! My team makes calculated decisions on what you write and post. It’s not “just the wind” it is life Live It Peace ✌️ Shaun Bickley VP Shepherds Shoreline Construction inc.Shaun bickleyVersion: 5.6.1

Wind Pro better than weather channelI use it several times a day to see what weather, wave height, and wind are doing in my area. That’s the Pascagoula river basin and about 8 miles out to the barrier islands. With the knowledge from this app I can safely boats and decide if it’s a good day for fishing. You can look at the forecast and know that cold front has arrived buy the speed and direction..Sonny JarrellVersion: 5.3.1

This is the hot setupI rely on Windfinder to set my daily activity. Recent updates have improved the already highly effective app. I can find all I need (weather, tide, sun and moon times) to make sure that a beach visit is going to be pleasant. I’m not a wind person now, though I have done performance sailing in the past. Thanks again for your great app!.PtboiVersion: 5.4.3

Cool features, but room for improvement.Windfinder has some really cool features. I really like the way it shows the wind direction and speed, it is very easy to understand. The downside... It doesn’t seem very accurate. I have been at home in heavy wind, my home weather station reading heavy wind, windfinder not showing heavy wind.... also, The app will not zoom in on the map as much as the windfinder website. That bothers me because the app cost money, the website doesn’t..FishingmanmarchelloVersion: 5.2.3

Accurate Wind Forecasts for PPGI use Windfinder Pro to see the winds at all my favorite launch spots the day before or even several days before. This lets me plan my flying weekends ahead with my wife and family. I’ve found the accuracy to be better than other apps I use on a fairly regular basis. The only thing it’s missing is Winds Aloft. Could you please add so I can reduce to just 1 app instead of using 2? Thanks!.PPG FlyVersion: 5.6.0

Weather PermittingI own a 61’ Viking Flybridge Cruiser and live in Miami and cross the Gulf Stream to where it is better the Bahamas often but never without checking Windfinder plus first so I know what the ride will be like. Honestly the boat can take way more than it’s skipper. I love the fun hate the work. Windfinder tells me which I will have..DemVetVersion: 5.28.0

Reading the conditionsMost helpful app that I have found for reading off shore conditions a must when planning trips off shore for me as a reasonable forecast as far as wind and waves is important as I am 7 hr drive from OB and important to have an accurate predictions on conditions for planning trips off shore great resource.Angler2900Version: 5.24.3

Not very accurate lately.Somethings going on with this app. The other day it was blowing 10-20mph from the north east. Wind finder app said 6 mph out of the west. If something doesn't change I'm canceling my subscription. I primarily use this for fishing. If I can't plan days around this app this is absolutely useless..RySliVersion: 5.15.3

This app needs ONE more thing.I just downloaded this app for kayak fishing. It has pretty much EVERYTHING I need in one place. I used to go to 2-3 different apps and places to get info on tides, weather, etc. The only thing this app lacks for me is an actual tide graph. It’s much easier to look at a graph and read the tides. That is my only suggestion!.SwflkayakfishingVersion: 5.2.2

Good so far, but...Just got this. Seems super powerful and easy to use! But it seems like all the information is forecast. I’d like to also be able to see real time reports from the various locations. Like what is the wind actually doing right now? Maybe that’s in there and I’m missing it. Hard to tell. :-/.WulileVersion: 5.0.1

Current ReportI don’t like that on the very first screen winds on the varios locations shows as forecast and not actual report. Don’t understand why because last year most locations had an actual “Report”, but since 2018 started most locations show a “forecast” report..RIPPLEFORCEVersion: 5.0.0

Still love WindfinderFantastic boating tool for sail and power.. right on forecast for irma in 2017. Wind, tide, waves, rain and temp in one place. Only reason for four not five stars is the long range forecast on map was about 10 days and now just two days. I use it almost every day!!.Key west bobbyVersion: 5.32.5

Columbia River Smallmouth fishingI have used this app to check wind on numerous locations along the Columbia River. I must say that it’s been 99% correct. If it’s blowing more than 10mph I don’t go fishing. It tells me where and when I should go. This app has given me wonderful fishing days. Thanks..Smallmouth KenVersion: 5.14.3

Great app!I’ve been using this app for years. I fly general aviation, skydive, surf and sail. All my hobbies are wind intensive. This app is usually very accurate and and map function makes it easy to visualize what the wind is doing locally and across whatever geography I’ll be traversing through..Freefly GuyVersion: 5.28.0

Windfinder is great.I use this app to decide what kites to take kiteboarding and it has been good in the Bahamas. I use it also to decide whether or not to row in the northeast and it is usually reliable. Pro is okay but usually not as accurate as the main forecast..Anynamenottaken1Version: 5.16.1

FishWeathetAbsolutely great app very helpful a tool that we need since we finish approximately 12 months a year. Fishing the north east Atlantic in the summer and fall and going to the keys all winter and spring, wouldn’t leave the dock before we looked at the app. important tool.Finist kindVersion: 5.25.0

Mr VegaLove the app! Am a big MIAMI, Keys, and Bahamas boater. Have come to rely on the app to plan my trips. Accuracy in forecasting current and forward conditions is almost 100% in my experience, which for weather is excellent. Seas especially in gulf stream are generally underestimated. Should have gulf stream seas separately. Great app!.Palante 3Version: 5.10.1

Mory MabavianSorry, but your system is not really that accurate. My experience for about I guess three years is that most of the times your regular Windfinder is much more accurate than the pro so, I do not know which one to follow or to believe !? This is true. How did you know that ? And, why don’t’ you fix it if you know ?.Mory NabavianVersion: 5.18.0

Lobsterman, Down East MaineI just bought an IMac computer and wish I could down load this app on my computer. That is my only complaint. I would love to have it on a bigger screen cuz I love the wind map. I live by the wind and use this app every day. I appreciate its accuracy. Thanks Zac Ransom.Team RepcoVersion: 5.14.1

Highly Valuable App!Live on a dune lake in Fla, US that connects to the Gulf of Mexico. I used this app initially for all my fishing activities but now find that I use it multi times a day every day. Info provided is very reliable and efficient in its layout. Truly grateful for this app and am a big fan!.GillyBeneVersion: 5.15.1

Best wind data for day sailing...!As a day sailor, there is no better app for wind conditions. Not too overbearing on the technical data, but enough of it to know when to sail. I highly recommend it for sailors or any other sports people needing to know temperatures and wind conditions..A. G. South Carolina.Version: 5.1.0

Best sailing plannerWindFinder is the best cruising guide I’ve found. In one glance, you can see wind force and direction, hour by hour; precipitation type and amounts; tide status; and cloud cover. It’s been invaluable in helping plan sailing trips this summer..BlueMoonSkipperVersion: 5.30.3

It’s the bestI race on a mud puddle of a lake in Kansas, if you can believe that. Our club weather station down loads directly to the app. The forecasts are the best I’ve ever used.

Windfinder Pro: Wind & Weather Negative Reviews

Beware Windfinder Plus vs Pro version!The $7.99 version of Windfinder Plus is a gimmick to get you to pay more for the same services available in the Free version. It will NOT even include the Pro subscription which is an additional $4.99 a year and you’ll be prompted to upgrade immediately. The app descriptions in the App store surprisingly fail to mention the differences between the Plus and Pro version and going to the developer’s site also leaves you with the same lack of helpful information. So if you’re really just looking for the Pro features which includes wind alerts, just go with the Free version and then upgrade to Plus. It will save you almost $2 in comparison..GREEK 2UVersion: 5.15.3

Pass on Winderfind ProUtterly useless. On start gives 6 locations that are not yours. Won’t save favorites, provides a forecast only if there is a home weather station in your area, shadow pop ups hang around too long, annoying vibrating info banners. App is not intuitive at all. I have the Pro version and they still beg for support money. Windfinder Pro was a poor purchase..FffffffffffffghytrrtVersion: 5.3.1
