Anglers may love Fishweather for its onsite fishing reports, but all mariners will love its detailed wind maps showing both wind strength and direction on color-coded wind charts with detailed forecasting out to a week. Its comprehensive list of features includes buoy data, six-hour historical wave height trends, tide and current forecasts, National Weather Service marine forecasts, NOAA severe weather reports, NEXRAD radar imagery, and real-time wind, wave and temperature data.
Click here to download. We find this free app with ads and in-app purchases a top pick for its high reliability. A favorite of serious sailors, Predictwind incorporates live weather observations from over 20, live stations, has high-resolution forecast maps, and forecast alerts. It also garners a rather impressive 4. That matches up with the uber-accurate forecasts we observed while using the app, which nailed wind direction and speed exactly.
It's good knowing there's a pro verion for a one time purchase price. However, looks like there was a price increase recently for the pro version. Wish there was a pre warning letting people know get the pro version before the price goes up. Sent email with similar feedback, no reply Totally inaccurate Feb 11, By robdog You want an accurate app, try Windy the online one, not the blue one, that one is just as bad!
Sep 29, By Darth Vaider. See All Community Reviews. Windmaker app Mar 6, By Amadojulio review. It is amazingly accurate even several daus in advance and when weather conditions unexpectedly change, it is modified to adapt. Perfect Mar 11, By Great data May 20, By Harry "theguitarpicker". This app is very helpful in planning things that are wind sensitive, ie; spraying paint or chemical outside, or working with large items that could blow out of control, causing damage or injury.
THX, well done! May 28, By matt genette. Best app I have found for wind and wave conditions on the great lakes. Hopefully, they continie to add webcams as those are a great feature. Accurate Jun 4, By Bhawk Primary use is for fishing. Windfinder is very accurate up to days out. No reviews available See all 2 reviews. Been using it thru the web years ago! Top 2 vs Worst Features. Wind direction and speed on map. Marine weather, tides and waves. Community Great tools for the most accurate weather!
Useful blog on the website. Sep 13, By Elon. The app can be as complicated or easy as you want it to be. Nov 10, By TheWeegySenna. After experiencing issues with the pro functions, the development team was very helpful in trying to fix my issues without delay and with excellent customer service, in the end the issue was resolved, thank you! Nov 7, By steve angel.
By Miguel Echevarria. This app is awesome, it has gotten so much better than when it started. It has a lot of information for any outdoor activities. Specially for boating and fishing in any area.
Nov 2, By shane wood. Been using Windy many years not an issue with Android on many phones Mostly for sailing works atreat Data Nov 2, By Elmer Fudd 2. Most impressive data in one place. Oct 30, By Ed Critz. Endless customization can be saved in multiple profiles so you can have just the right info for different activities at different locations.
Sep 14, By Elizabeth. Im in the middle of Nicholas on Galveston Bay. Very informative and love to be able to talk with others. I only began using the app today. I will update as time moves forward. I dont tend to do very much with weather apps except in times of forecasted storms, high wind, or hurricanes and tornadoes. At this point I have no questions or concerns. Thank you for sharing your hard work. I appreciate all you do. Thanks again! Great for drone pilots and enthusiasts Aug 14, By Dallas - Texas.
First of all you are offered a free basic version of the application. There are additional add ons they will be helpful in other applications. The way this works for me is the app provides wind conditions at your nearest airport at various elevations and times through the day.
Wind speed planning is critical to all drone pilots at every level. To my knowledge this is the very best app available for that application. Lastly, I want to express my gratitude to the developers for allowing your users to have the very valuable basic level for free. Nov 16, By Dave Dunn. I'm a trucker in Wyoming I need the app to work.
What happened with the new update? Oct 5, By kwaide. We used to love this App for the fact you could see swell heights and weather forecasts for at least a week out, and was always pretty accurate. But now after updating the swell heights have gone away and I only can see a forecast for 2 day. Very disappointed if this is a way of trying to collect money by now cutting out the free version of this app. I have recommended this app to numerous amounts of people and would be a total shame if they have taken away the features we all used in order to make profit.
Windy Oct 3, By ddjanowski. I like the app itself, its interface is well designed and intuitive. However, I use the app mostly in one area for paddle boarding and kayaking trips on the Hudson River in New York City. My route, dictated by the tidal currents and winds—especially when paddle boarding—are limited to about 15 miles north of midtown Manhattan to the Verrazano Narrows entrance and exit of the upper harbor.
On many occasions I have encountered winds about 10 mph greater than predicted or predictions of gusting speeds that are in actuality steady speeds. These are not of much concern for sailors but for other human-powered watercraft it is much more of a factor. A nice UI, but the data is garbage. Oct 15, By Bokra A nice well designed app, but unfortunately not very useful since at least for San Francisco Bay it shows values that off bu a factor 10 from reality.
It is always off for swell showing waves up to 15ft tall in a 5-mile enclosed bay with 1. Bottom line - it is good for entertainment value, but mostly useless as a wind forecast tool Nov 9, By Jim Sword.
This app used to be fantastic. Now it's shite I loved the old windy easy to use packed with features for free not even close to old app and want you to pay for everything!!
Paddle Boarders Dream App Oct 23, By Navesink Paddler. Now I know the best days and times I find it more accurate than any weather app. So in love with this app! Please add widgets!! Nov 20, By imagineowl. Awesome app. Very well done. I would love to see some iOS widgets to put on our home screen.
Could be very useful especially if we can select specific stats to display from specific locations! I like to fish and boat and many of the apps in our industry are not great. Some are pretty but buggy. Some are confusing but well developed. I can say this has both!
Great job windy! Windy Dec 31, By juno!! This is the best app ever created. Not only is it accurate it allows u to plan ahead. I am currently on a fishing trip in Bahamas and due to the app we were able to modify our trip so we could Fish Thanks so much.
Great Data Presentation Jan 31, By msicndhwo. I live in an area where the wind can be quite destructive. I am also an outdoor enthusiast spending g much time in the woods and along the stream. This forecast helps to keep me safe by allowing me to make better decisions. Thank You!!!!!! Great app weather tool box Mar 26, By Iced Coffee. With other weather apps, windy should be with them. Windy is a big help in studying the weather in real time. The free trial is NOT free beware Nov 7, By blaze When I downloaded there was an option for free trail and pay once your free week is up or just pay now.
Basically there is no free trial they will charge you right away so beware! By Vladimir Popov. After the last update I've lost my Pro features. The app is constantly blinking on pro features and I'm not able to use them. Also replying in Russian to my review here is not helpful as I wrote my review in English and I'm from Bulgaria although my name may sound Russian. Nov 1, By William Reich. Windy wasn't working for sea swells, so clicked onto a free trial with Windy Pro.
Windy has no cancelation or chat options on the apps that refund or consolidate. Zero support. Oct 18, By carl maughan. The old app was excellent, new one - ruined Interface too cluttered trying to do too much and most of the forecast models are now pro only, doesn't remember where you last where WindAlert is your 1 most trusted weather source.

Great for Sea Kayaking Nov 3, By henriquecastro It helps me plan ahead and decide on best routes when I preparing to launch. Love it but Sep 24, By snowtotal. Seems to happen with low cell signal. WindAlert Sep 19, By dicky L. Absolutely fantastic app. I cannot leave town even during hurricanes. Accurate program Sep 7, By Supradoc. I use the Plus version of this app. Since we live miles round trip from the dock I use the app to be sure that the wind conditions are favorable or unfavorable before making the trip.
I have found this app to be extremely valuable in its predictive value. Excellent Resource Jul 30, By Russ Beyer. I have used Wind Alert for more than 10 years in South Florida and, as a serious sailor, appreciate the many models available, the custom forecasts and the amount of sea condition information available.
There are other apps but Wind Alert has everything I need and gives me no reason to look further. Wind Alert Jul 29, By CheetahMarc. Wish is had more of the airmass and area coverage features and data from sailflow. Sailors also need tides and currents and it would be awesome to have those combined in this app.
Useful and accurate Jul 21, By looperlonic. While your mileage my vary depending on your location, I can say that for me, its incredibly useful for forecasting wind intensity and direction. Worth the wait! Jul 3, By May Kiter. I've been waiting for something like this for a long time!
Not disappointed! Does everything you need and easy to click around. Best app for racing May 29, By 67 EJD. We use WindAlert for racing, and it provides the best and easiest realtime data. Don't leave the mooring without it if you are a serious sailor. Disappointed Jun 3, By KTalon Spoke to the app folks several times about how the app will not set alerts for more than twice a day at my local spot. I set it for 2 hours, save it and it defaults to once a day. Have uninstalled it, downloaded, sent screen shots and nothing.
What happened to wave height? May 6, By fishstix This has historically been one of my favorite wind apps but two changes are causing me to look elsewhere. Especially on the north shore of Long Island. The second issue is the report and forecast seem to always be different. C Report could show 10 mph 3 hours from now and the forecast shows Latest version lacking features Apr 26, By muckywater. Really love this app as its key to make decisions regarding working on the water. Calendar view for choosing days is terrible.
Old way to select a day to view forecast was much better. Will email my thoughts to hopefully get these fixed in the next update.. Please Revert to old UI! Apr 17, By Sirfunk The new UI is clunky and not nearly as appealing to the eye. Please go back!!
Response to Developer comment: Lol on you being butt-hurt about me leaving a review. Instead of passive aggressively suggesting that I email your support with my suggestions, accept that I appropriately left a review for your app in the dedicated app review section of the App Store.
Further, take that review as well as the countless others by long time users that I now see in response to your update and accept valuable input being provided. Sep 18, By scott peirce. Legend disappeared on forecast map with recent update. Kinda useless if you don't know what the colors indicate. All at a glance Jan 17, By claire bear 5.
Really convenient map page w local wind observations to see winds at a glance. Open a station for recent graph of strength and direction over time. One of my go to-s! Wind alert has everything I need Feb 22, By The Duke of Fulton. When dilute is perfect for deciding what day and time to go sailing each weekend and what kind of wind conditions to expect. Still, appreciate having wind, Tide, and weather all in one app. Price is right! Wind Speed Mar 19, By High Voltage Electrician.
This app. It tells us the wind speed in the area I am working in. I work involves working elevated heights and making picks for cranes. Very accurate Mar 27, By bokatone. Where I live, it can get windy so I need this app. Apr 7, By Tony Ganaway. By Gregg Healey. The Home page of the app doesn't work anymore. Says couldn't load Google maps correctly see Java script console for details. Not useful anymore Apr 10, By Howard, Fine and Howard. What was once a very useful app is now useless.
Everything has changed. Everything that was great about this app, which was the reason I recommended it to everybody I know, is no longer here. What a shame. Was a great app Apr 3, By kyle Add widgets for current conditions to your home screen.
