SailFlow: Marine Forecasts Customer Service

SailFlow: Marine Forecasts Positive Reviews

Love this FREE appI use this app all the time with no problems. We used it to travel the ICW Atlantic this fall and it was our guide to our travel plans each day. Only reason I am giving it 4 stars is that on my iPhone (iPhone 6s) it displays the map and locations making it easy to use. When my husband loads the app on his iPhone 8 we cannot get the map to appear, even though we compared all our settings to ensure we were the same. He has the latest iOS loaded so not sure if it is an issue with the iPhone 8? Would highly recommend this easy to use app and hope to get it working on the iPhone 8 with a Street / Wind map like it does on my iPhone 6s..RHTerrapinVersion: 3.18

More location-specific forecastingYou get weather specific to a more precise area. WU might give you a general forecast of rain and thunderstorms, which might be true somewhere in your forecast area, yet miss the mark for where you wish to sail. That’s weather in Florida! This app forecast the thunderstorms about 3-4 hours later for my vicinity of interest and was on the money. So this app is more helpful when you need a window of just 1-2 hours. If this app said thunderstorms or too-strong wind conditions were imminent for my vicinity/time of interest, I wouldn’t bother to try sailing that day..Barbershop BradVersion: 3.20

Even this new sailor gets itSo, I have exactly a 2 day adult beginner sail class under my belt. I now need to schedule a check off ride but with winds above 5mph and below 16 mph. I find this app and in completely accurate, understandable graphics it tells me current and forecasted windspeeds exactly where I need to test. The big day is tomorrow! I know this because I used the app and reserved the slot. I will use it in the future to plan my sailing days. Great job app programmers!.Lms sailVersion: 5.08

Great and useful, accurate app.This app is great! It gives nice, accurate information by using local buoys and other sources. The only issue I see is that the app takes a bit to get used too, as the overlay is just a bit confusing. I would also love to see apple watch support. Often when I’m sailing or coaching I want to be able to see the information the app displays without needing to take my phone out on the water or out of a boat compartment. It would be nice to have an apple watch app that just shows wind speeds from buoy info, and maybe the wind maps and such..OofsityVersion: 3.18

Testing the Forecasts for Accuracy; Graphics C-This app came highly recommended as I have Ben using another well known app for years with amazing easy to understand radar, wind flow patterns, real Earth Satellite imaging and more. The problem with the app that has, bar none, outstanding graphics is that forecasting accuracy lacks as they do not use local weather stations. Just wondering why someone hasn’t come along that will give us the best of all features. As it is, I will probably use the one feature if this app, and its most important: forecasting. I’ll make frequent comparisons to the app the amazing and intuitive graphics..ElletrueVersion: 3.18

Issues with wind?I work out on a remote island and the SailFlow app is the go-to for me and my colleagues with regards to planning around the wind. It is by far the most accurate site we’ve found and it’s saved us time and money countless times. The attribute of being able to look ahead in 3 hour increments over the course of several days is also great for planning transportation. Thank you!!.Rosa BoundVersion: 3.21

SailFlow is greatWhat I like best about sailflow is that I can look out over the next ten days and make plans to go boating based on the predicted wind, sun, and temperatures. Things change but it still helps a lot Also if the wind isn’t right on a given day I can just stay home and not waste time going out on the water only to find out the conditions are not to my liking.PmaesVersion: 3.14

Very helpful appThis app makes sailing so much more enjoyable. Knowing when the optimal sailing conditions will be you can make informed decisions on whether it not to sail and when. As we all have experienced, heading out only to find little to no wind on a given day is frustrating. This app eliminates that for this sailor as I know when to head to the boat and when to stay home..Spectrum141Version: 3.13

Direction arrow is wrongIn general the app works well, but there’s a problem with the Observed wind direction shown on the Wind Graph page. It’s pointed in the right direction, but it’s labeled wrong!! It’s labeled in the key as “Direction From” when it’s actually the direction the wind is flowing to, not from. I’ve emailed the developers directly but they’ve never corrected it. I know it’s a small detail in an otherwise useful app, but it seems like an easy fix to remove any confusion..Truthteller863839Version: 5.25

Great for sailors and wind forecastsI’ve been a Sail Flow PRO user for a few years (free user prior) and it is excellent. A bit expensive but worth it. The PRO forecasts are the best feature of the PRO service for depth of understanding of wind and storms. The UI is very good and creating and accessing favorites makes it easy. This is my GO TO for everything wind..SkipperGregVersion: 5.30

Invaluable tool for sailorsAs a professional meteorologist and sailor, I have been using this app almost daily for years. It is such a useful tool for looking at current conditions and relevant model data. Only wish is that more models like the ECMWF could be made available in the future..SamChampSucksVersion: 5.14

Great appThey update enough to keep app working well. This app gives precise and unique info for guys like me that race sailboats where wind, waves and weather in general matter. Seeing all history, current and forecast weather is important for both safety and more so to be able to anticipate changes that give me an edge in competition! Thanks guys and gals..BAD DOG USA 25Version: 3.0

Most Accurate Weather ForcastI live on the Chesapeake Bay and weather from local stations are for inland and doesn’t seem to be very accurate. Marine weather is very different. I have noticed that this app is correct most of the time. As a boater I use this constantly..5820tirVersion: 5.32

PerfectThis app is the best I feel it has everything I need. The developers were nice enough to make it so low adds were the norm on the app. Also it is not completely paywalled so most of the stuff you need is there all in all the best weather app for sailing and in general ever..Turtle=GoodVersion: 3.21

Help planWithout the help of SailFlow we would have to go back to using noaa. We feel very comfortable with this forecast. We have been able to leave the dock knowing that we can beat the weather, we used to think long and hard in the past. You have made our travels much more comfortable..Vic nelVersion: 2.93

Best for meGreat graphics, simple and straight forward. Great wind graphics and easy visual forecast. Love the small visual forecast out for several days. You can see with a glance what the winds will be for your local sailing location. I use it every time I go sailing and always before to plan the right day on the water..Plutoisaplanet81Version: 3.18

SailFlowI have premium and this ap is great if you know the area you are in. It needs to show pinpointed locations on a map. If you are not familiar with an area and it’s streets you have no way of knowing if the weather and info that you wish to look at is close by. They really need to include location maps in reference to your location to see what is closest!.DaveL133Version: 5.08

Great for sailing days and every day!I use the app every day for accurate hour by hour forecasts along with radar and wide area view of all the local wind/weather stations you have an amazing on the ground view of what’s in store for your day.Sattva.guruVersion: 5.32

Accurate “Real Time” Weather ConditionsFound this app while watching a regatta in our area…just took a peek and have been hooked since! We’re live aboard cruisers spending the summer in the Northeast. It works really well for us in planning our trips!.Carrie AndersVersion: 5.08

Almost great! But wind arrow is 180 backwards!I use SailFlow before I go sailing, practice or an event, but the wind direction arrow is pointing downwind when it should be pointing the direction FROM which it is coming. So frustrating when sometimes I get to the boat and it’s opposite of what it indicates! This is sailing not aviation! Haha! No big deal, just know it’s backwards and plan accordingly..HavetoleaveareviewtouseVersion: 5.18

Useful point forecasts/observations for wind, etcNeat app. The pay version is probably cooler. It’s among 3-4 sources I compare before choosing where to launch the I-14. I appreciate the hourly, point forecasts for wind. I also enjoy the perspective and ease of zooming in and out, and navigating (heh) around the map. Seems as accurate as anything so far. -Eli (Seattle).Malatesta3000Version: 3.14

Benefits of SailnetOne comprehensive source of weather data essential to a sailing/boating enthusiast. Nothing is missing, considering the variances expected in weather forecasting. The data is not always accurate, but that is weather forecasting for you..Hawk007eyeVersion: 5.07

The best wind app I’ve hadSo as a competitive sailor I need to know the wind and don’t want to spend any money to do so. Sailflow is the best app I know of with accurate and reliable data. Just one suggestion is have a feature to turn MPH into Knots..Pretty good pro88Version: 5.25

Great app, but several stations are no longer on the appI love this app. As a sailing instructor in Oak Harbor, I regularly use this app to get a detailed forecast of the harbor and use it to plan the lessons for the day. However, the stations near the Oak Harbor Yacht Club and the harbor are no longer on the app. This app is still great, but I might need to find another forecasting app to plan my lessons with.Soconnor1318Version: 2.93

Essential for sailorsSimply the best weather for boating app available. Really good at forecasting conditions for very specific locations. Worth paying a bit extra for the “plus”version, as it is slightly but consistently more accurate than the free forecast..BritarthurVersion: 3.0

RookieBeen using this app randomly to verify what other apps say about weather conditions. Also use it for posting wind meter readings. Now I’m using the radar more than others. Im not sure why but it’s functional when other apps are not..Dawgfish812Version: 3.11

SailFlowI’m a relatively new user to this app. I am using it to check weather conditions in and near Tampa Bay primarily. The information appears helpful. I’m not certain what premium features would do to enhance the usefulness for my purposes..SailorbobtVersion: 5.09

Search locations vagueYou enter a desired location and it gives you a long list through which you have to scroll in order to hope to find your entered value. Annoying.LaserPirouetteVersion: 5.25

Very helpful and accurateIs very helpful in our planning of water work Only real problem I see is time seems to be off between present and future + time.ThesmithbuiltVersion: 5.08

Where’s my miles from current locationLove the app but why did you take away the miles away from current location next to where the reading is coming from.Wind dodgerVersion: 5.08

Rely on this appI use this app all the time but in the last month it hasn’t been showing the radar anymore. It also crashes randomly. I love this app and rely on it and would love to see it fixed!.App_state_studentVersion: 3.0

Bugs fixedApp is working good. Thanks for fixing the bugs. SailFlow is our go to app! It is laid out well and very accurate. Check out the forecast models for an explanation as to which is best for you..Gayleann1661Version: 5.25

SailFlowLove this app. Used it every day on a trip to the Bahamas. Quick and easy to see the prevailing wind flow, speeds and patterns. There may be a short cut, but the only draw back is switching from day to day by scrolling through each time frame..Triggerfisf727Version: 3.11

Better than local weather forecastThe up to date information provided by Sailflow beats the local weather predictions hands down..SteveinCelebrationVersion: 5.09

Love the free app.!I like this app in order to check the weather forecast and wind conditions and forecast for the area in which I’ll be sailing. It’s user friendly and, among the best features in the free version, to me, is the live wind feature..The Album Cover.Version: 3.18

More accurate wind predictionsThis app offers more accurate wind predictions than the other apps I had been using, and it updates the data frequently. I’ve been finding it v useful for racing..ElleSailsVersion: 3.12

SailFlowRecently began to use SailFlow after using Underground Weather for a couple of years. Very user friendly and gives updated wind and tide information wherever you are sailing which is very useful. I will stay with SailFlow..Solera A 88Version: 2.84

Well DoneYou folks do a great job of giving us sailors a good sense of the weather that we can expect, and plan for. We all want family and crew to be safe. We sail between NY and Acadia National Park. Many thanks..LCS#1234Version: 5.09

SailFlowGreat app. I use it all the time. Im a live aboard on a power boat and use it for winter storms and check it whenever I go out on the water. The Forecast option is great when anchoring. Highly recommended and easy to use..WatterhuggerVersion: 3.11

Weather stationsI use the base version and it seems that over the last year many of the reporting stations that are used have disappeared. There are virtually no reports anymore for Nantucket and Hyannis areas. There used to be quite a few..Gander6Version: 2.93

Gives helpful informationDoes what I need in a free app. Wish there were more points for some of the local lakes in the free version. Sometimes the wind direction markers for weather stations don’t match the live wind map..BG Hobie TIVersion: 5.07

Pay for the privilege of seeing adsI’m somewhat disappointed in the fact that I have to pay for premium station but am still forced to see ads. Been a paid user for several years and am now seeing more and more adverts. Will consider dropping this and going to windy..SvsouthernstarVersion: 3.13

So easyI love being able to touch a point on a map and get an instant wind speed forecast. I use this to decide among area mountain reservoirs and lakes before heading out with my Sunfish!.Singing dogmaVersion: 5.08

Great app!The wind forecasts have been quite accurate so far!.Nateis8Version: 5.19

FantasticI’ve used it for a couple or three weeks and it is pretty accurate also it updates hourly so between times it is often constantly changing and updating. One of their stations is close by and it’s a marine one. So it has been pretty accurate for us!.LasquetiLVersion: 5.08

Great appUse it for planning all my hunting/fishing trips, accurate 80-90% of the time working 24 hours, could be a bit more user friendly but it’s a great app for any wind related outings Highly recommend.Muskyhunter69Version: 5.08

Perfect App for SailingThis is an amazing App. It's my go to when I'm going sailing or planning. First, the Wind Map gives current wind & forecasts. Second the Forecast Map shows predictions of wind strength and direction for the next few days at 1-hour or 3-hour intervals. What more can you ask for?!.HelmaleeVersion: 2.82

SailFlow: Marine Forecasts Negative Reviews

Unable to use favorites listI used to love this app. However, it has become less user friendly over the years. Stations that have favorited no longer show up in my favorites list and every time I click on the station where I sail, I get a pop-up telling me to “favorite” the station… but I “favorited” it years ago, and last week, and again this week. After looking around the app to find my favorites again, I found them under the “Master Profile” option in the favorites tab. However, it is now an unusable menu because every time I click on a station, it asks me to upgrade my account or sign in. I am already signed in on the app with my free account. If I find the station I’m looking for on the map, I can still access the blend models of plus/pro stations. Why can’t I access these same pro/plus stations from my favorites list now with a free account?.MoomoodlesVersion: 5.26

Free version okay, don’t pay for upgrade!Clunky and buggy but still has a wide range of stations and data beyond just wind speeds. However, none of the cool sounding features promised with the paid subscription actually work. Support is responsive and polite but unable to fix the issues. After the standard wipe and reinstall dance they’ve got nothing. Not clear what the money is for, but it doesn’t really get you anything the free version doesn’t already have. Edit: Free and broken is better than paying and broken but I don’t see how the dev response here has anything to do with the problems....ScuzzmonkeyVersion: 3.0

InaccurateThis is an app with many great features and a good user interface. It's also very expensive for the "premium" subscription. I used only the free version. During California's many winter storms of late 2022 and early 2023 this app was *highly* inaccurate in its wind predictions. It's a little hard to understand how an app that shows actual versus predicted wind could be so thoroughly and completely wrong so much of the time and show the errors on its default screens. Some days showed predicted wind under 4kts, but actual wind was over 16kts. Other days showed predicted 20kt winds, but actual wind was 3kts. I would hate to be relying on this app for my safety at sea. Both Windy and Saildrone provide similar functionality at a *much* lower subscription price. Both Windy and Saildrone appear to be far more accurate than Sailflow at predicting wind direction and velocity..KMignosaVersion: 5.15

Won't open in my iOS 9First, after not using it for 6 months, it disappeared as an app from my phone. When I downloaded it from the cloud again, it only opens for 2 seconds, then disappears, reverting to the home screen. This happens each time I try to open it even after shutting the phone down and restarting. Deleted it and redownloaded-same thing. I don't want iOS 10 or 11 because I've got some old apps. It says it's supposed to work with 9 or higher..SauTagVersion: 2.92

Poor design, not user friendlyI sail in the same place twice a week. Every time I open the app, I’m greeted with “invalid search “. Then I see the last location at the top of the screen and it won’t let me select it. So I type that into the search bar and it finds that location. I tap the star to add to favorites, but the next time I open the app, no favorites are found. Pretty worthless, imo. Besides, the forecast isn’t usually close to reality..Hate this app 99999Version: 3.0

Very helpful aidWe have sailed in four separate locales: Lake Tahoe (home), Folsom lake, Bay Area and Catalina island since finding this app... We found it useful but it's accuracy is questionable both real time and planning our sailing adventures. Needs improvement as both the Bay Area and Folsom Lake yacht clubs we belong to have better links to real time data and 24-48 hr forecasts. We have kept this app as it’s another resource for comparison....SailingSunshine24Version: 2.93

InaccurateJust got the snot beat out of us in our 40’ power boat when the forecast, which gives the illusion of accuracy due to the level of details, was out by about 10 kn. Wasn’t even close and I checked it again right before heading out. Delete!.VgftyubfVersion: 3.0
