Indespenseable!

One of only a handful of nautical aps that are a must for all boaters! If you dont use WindAlert, get it. Capt. Bill, Chesapeake Bay Cruiser

Excellent forecasting

Im a professional marine pilot on Puget Sound. I use this app every day at work to see what the wind is doing at the destination port and on the route. Ive found the forecasting of wind over the next 12 hours to be excellent.

A must have

Use this app for any sailing activities. Must have

Good app - needs an ad-free version

Great app for planning our boating trips. However, it has very annoying ads and there is no paid version to eliminate them. The only option is to pay a monthly fee.

Wind alert

Great information

None

Great accurate forecasts!

A must have for ultralight pilots

Was introduced to this app by my paragliding instructor and it is awesome. Great for planning and studying wind currents of flying sites. A must have for any ultralight and non-commercial pilot.

Texas Coastal Bend

Use the app when planning my fly fishing excursions in the salt out of Rockport Texas. Great product!

Not worth the money

App gives no better info than weathertrack or windfinder, and yet it costs more and is more awkward to use.

Screwed update

Latest version is a complete #fail. Maps do not appear at all. Went from being a useful app with annoying traits to totally worthless. Just deleted it.

Handy for determining wind trends

I use it for snow kiting and Pyrotechnics work in western AK. It provides instant accurate info on wind direction & speed and provides a good prediction for what the wind will be doing for the next day or so.

Very accurate

I dont get to fly kites very often so it is important to me to have accurate wind information. This ap provides me with all the info I need to choose the right kites at the right times. And keeps my hobby at its best.

As an RVer . . .

With a Class A that is really wind sensitive, I love this app. There are about 5 different weather apps I compare & contrast. This app is usually the most accurate.

Good but adverts annoying

I would pay money to avoid the adverts.

Pilot

Great app. I use it for work all the time.

Use this app religiously

Very accurate..., very easy. This drives my rig tuning and sail inventory for the day..., and it hasnt steered me wrong yet...!!

Excellent, more human forecast would be better

Really no substitute for current conditions, but for local forecasts the models can use more human overlay. They do this for busy areas in season, but a midday update would be great. Realize it costs money.

Inconsistent

Two of us love this app and were comparing notes one night. We noticed that for the same weather station , whilst standing side by side we were getting wildly different results. This has since been a consistent issue. Typically we both see weather trends correctly but until we understand why we see such different results - up to 15kn difference - giving the app a good review is unfair to anyone reading the review

Helpful app

Nice application

THIS is why I need an iPhone!

The finest app available for the iPhone. Real-time wind reports here are far better than any competitor. Wind List is a brilliant feature!
