Windfinder Pro App Reviews

I would love to see the wind direction with; the aerial maps!! 🤟🏻

Best app for An accurate wind forecast

Does no provide wind forecast with direction (E,NE,SW,W,etc.)

Windfinder.com was down so I downloaded pro. The map definition is not close to as good as windfinder.com. We use this while cruising and like to se our locations more defined.

Easy to use and reliable

A very valuable app for me. My friends and I use this app to make decisions about our fishing plans, how far off shore to go etc. For duck hunting, it tells us what we need to know to set decoys properly. For the past year and a half I’d estimate it to be 80-100% accurate.

Does no provide wind forecast with direction (E,NE,SW,W,etc.) utilizes arrows instead of alpha directions mentioned above.

It works but the maps are free on winderfinder.com and those ones have way more detail, you can zoom in much further.

Easy to use. Accurate wind speeds.

Pro Windfinder is my first go-to app whenever I’m planning a day or 2 on the water and fishing with friends

The only thing that would make it better is to show wind wave height

I 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.

It is good application but, it is not including most cities and locations .

This is a great app. It lets me check on breeze same day or a day or two ahead so I can plan a late day sail after work. It’s also great when cruising.

Use it daily. Love it!

Having been using app for about a year. It’s been great to have reliable forecast for a change. I use it in the panhandle of florida an northern Gulf of Mexico , it’s been great.

I would give windfinder 5 stars for its forecasting and reporting sites in the Bahamas. The superforecast is generally incorrect with some wild forecasts showing an hour of big winds (squalls?) followed by moderate winds. When it is squally the forecast is usually flat. I would give 1 star to the superforecast from windfinder pro. If the superforecast were all that windfinder offered, I would delete the app.

Love this app. Very accurate on timing of wind directions and rain.

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.

Some times information is seldom accurate. Although it is kinda fun to watch top shelf equipment and top help do so much to very little avail. I have been using this service for years. Hopefully I t can be made useful Jamie Mccullar lake mead Nevada I wrote this about six months ago wish I could change it. I will send this one in could possibly help.

Utterly 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.

I give this app to all my customers. They can make there own decisions on coming fishing, saves me time. I use it to check the PC models, not bad......

Most of the time it is real good on predicting the situation

Great app. Any chance of wave height info?

Use Pro all the time for our weekend sailing races. Very helpful for our shifting inland winds

NOT accurate for HALKIDIKI/CHALCIDICE area GREECE. We’re experiencing completely different wind speed and directions! User of 4 days.

Wind speed, direction, wave height and frequency, tides, temp and precipitation. Finally all in one place!

I 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. The features are nothing short of excellent. Keep up the good work. Bryan. Capricorn F18. Perry Yacht Club. Kansas

Very user friendly and up to date. Winds and tides easily accessible at my favorite fishing places. Great for planning a quick trip on the fly.

A+

It seems to be reporting model output instead of actual. (which is off base also for my location — Lake Mendota Buoy). This app was useful in the past but I might as well use Wundergroound.

I spend a lot of time boating and fish on Lake Erie. Always consult my Windfinder ap prior and during. Reliable and accurate.

I tend to use this app but always cross reference against other apps and NOAA directly. Sometimes all of them are inaccurate: this one is easier to use but less accurate typically

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.

We use this In Florida and in Vermont and love it!

It’s intuitive, visual, and provides great information. In the San Diego area I’ve so far (last 4 months) found the wind speed and direction predictions to be very good.

Hi For me is the best app on wind forecast, even so something is missing: 1- Alarms for high wind 2-Sync with Smart Watch That would be my suggestion Best regards

Won’t show super forecast

This app is a must if you are a boater and ever venture out onto the ocean. I am ready to use it again on my upcoming trip to the Bahamas crossing from Florida!

Perfect fisherman’s weather report. Easy to operate

Love the program. Each time I have a charter and need to look at the wind and sea conditions you guys are spot on !!! Huge help in planning my trips. Continue the amazing work

All the information you need in one app. If I would recommend something add sunsets sunrises moon rises and moon sets.

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..

I 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!

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. :-/

Very clumsy interface. Previous version was much cleaner and friendly

ممتاز وملاحضته دقيقه وكل شيء ب امر الله سبحانه

I 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.

The wind forecast on this app is the most accurate I’ve found. Spot on every time. Must have for any offshore boater

This a is good app which I use almost daily. It would be a great app if it include water temperature.

ممتاز جدا

I have missed SUP paddling sessions ALL WEEK ... this app is so inaccurate all of a sudden ... night b4 says no winds certain hours and next day it is the opposite and all my plans are ruined ... haven't paddled at all ...!! Terrible !

invaluable tool for boating!!

Windfinder totally succeeds in fast wind and weather information. Live and forecast as precise as it can be. I especially like the speed of the app.

Since the last update when all my favorites are showing listed on the favorites screen all the info next to the favorites is blank. The info comes up only when you go into each favorite individually.

Nice app, but although it says it works on ipad, it does not.

No way to change air pressure units. Add this feature and I'll give it 5 stars

Constant crash, can't get a single station. Was great till upgraded OS.

Best wind weather forecasting app on the web. PERIOD.

Wind Alert App says it is blowing 26 knots, whitecaps and we are reefed. This app says it is blowing at 8. Also, the tide is wrong. So if you want to run aground and capsize use this app, otherwise buy Wind Alert. It cost more but it works.

I hate having to do the math on the time. Can you please just put regular time in there as an option?! When you leave your wind list and go one screen over to prefs, you'd think you could just slide back over. Nope have to navigate back to favs then click on the last fav you were looking at if you're lucky enough to remember. Lots more UI weirdness I can't explain.

We've been using Windfinder Pro for the first time this June to plan our northbound transit of Chesapeake Bay and the New Jersey Coast. We've found it a terrific help in showing real time buoy reports as well as models for future wind conditions. Our only complaint is that using the map to find stations is a little annoying in that we have to return to the home map to find each new station. Once we put all the stations in our Favorites List this was no longer a problem.

This app is great next to noa but for fishing it has all the wind data, wave height, and it has a great variety of locations. I defiantly recommend this app

You missed the mark by PRICE GOUGING on the alerts. .99 per alert? What a joke. The point of alerts is so we don't have to keep logging into the app to check wind speeds but at a buck a pop good luck seeing your customers go over to your competitor. Do you guys work for the oil companies?

Nah

I was excited to get this app to determine airport wind trends. I was highly disappointed that the app doesn't show cardinal wind directions (degrees). A wind app that doesn't indicate wind direction is a huge fail in my opinion.

Love the app. Update makes text difficult to read.

This is one of my favorite apps - I use it regularly for my sailing. But, the Mar-15 upgrade has a problem - the timeline is messed up. I see only "PM" hours - no "AM" hours. Please fix this soon!

I bought the pro version for sailing because I live a ways from my boat and want to know whether to go. It is just not accurate and even in the moment, it will show current conditions really different than whats happening right now, never mind forecasting. The tide times are like 5 hours off and I emailed the app and they replied saying I was right and they'd fix it but that was 9 months ago and its still like that.

This app is never accurate. I consistently check the Annapolis buoy and it is consistently way off the mark by more than five MPH.

I'm very disappointed with this app, tried to get my money back but Apple refused. I would not recommend this app, wish I could give it zero stars but it won't let me so I give it one star.

Información compacta, fácil de encontrar los spots. La información es precisa en tiempo real.

I use this app on the Great Lakes (traverse city) it is a very well designed app and I find the wind information the most accurate of many I use. I hate ads in apps and was happy to pay the 1.99 for the Pro version.

I think that it's time to update this app for the iPhone 5.

Do not buy, it's a rip off, you pay 1.99 after which they require u to pay an additional weekly mo thy or or annual charge up to 20.00. Don't get s***** in. Get the free one, it works, so you have to live with the pop ups.

Best organized weather app I’ve seen.

It’s not accurate like before

under IOS 11 the app is not obeying font size requests nor does it appear adjustable, there is plenty of room for bigger text. Wind speed chart is Illegible, map legend is also too small

Very reliable wind and waves. Thank you.

Mother nature is tough to get 100% right . Today I was expecting 7-9 knots and I end up with 19. Complicated!

We own a home in the Bahamas and this app is a great tool for us to predict weather conditions in our area. Highly recommended

Accurate, reliable and easy to use, it’s my all around go to weather app...👍

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

Would be allot more useful if they'd actually add the Barometric pressure corrections to be more accurate right now it's pretty much useless. The inHG is nowhere near accurate and therefor worthless

I use this app all the time for boating, it’s my one stop resource for weather. I trust it and it gives me all the info points I need. Keep up the food work!

Fowey Rocks Forecast has been inaccurate as of late

This is my go to app and I have tried more weather and marine apps than I can count. Gives me everything I need to know before hitting the high seas. Windfinder Pro is well worth the upgrade.

I have found some other sources to be significantly more accurate with wind velocities and speeds.

Winds very inaccurate!! Giving 4-7kts when it’s blowing 20-25!!

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!

This app keeps impressing me. Just went through the lastest update and hey, kudos y’all. Semper Fi
