1. [R4] Windy.app 1/5 · US Garbage: I paid for lifetime and everything I try to use is asking for money. I want a refund
2. [R15] Windy.app 3/5 · GB Past pro subscriber: The information and data in the pro version is good, but, not at £99 a year. There is too much clutter you can’t remove. And the non subscription version is so restricted it is a waste of time. Windy app please get the pricing down to no more than £30 a year and remove clutter. Your rating will go up and so will your subscribers.
3. [R21] Windy.app 2/5 · US Scammed with Pro Version: I purchased the lifetime pro version of this app a couple of years ago. Over the past several months they have taken away several options and maps that were available to me originally...& have made them only available if I upgrade AGAIN to a newer "pro" version. This is very disappointing & scammy! If I buy the new version they will just change it again and try to scam m
4. [R27] Windy.app 2/5 · US Didn’t realize I signed up for an annual subscription: A little disappointed about being charged for a full year subscription. I really only needed this for at most a month but I got charged $170 for a full year subscription. I guess I missed that in the T&C’s? Happy to pay for the usage of it but I only needed it for a while. It was very helpful during my trip to the Bahamas so I like the progr
5. [R7] Windy.app 1/5 · US App turned to hot garbage unless you pay: Can’t even look at stuff without being bothered at least twice to sign up for pro
6. [R10] Windy.app 1/5 · US 1*: Yet another app that strings you along a stupid quiz before asking you for money at the end. Just say you’re a subscriber service only and stop wasting my time. Let people do your dumb customer survey after they’ve payed to be on ur app.
7. [R13] Windy.app 1/5 · US Too many: Had to uninstall. Too many reminders about special offers. Very annoying
8. [R18] Windy.app 3/5 · GB The app may be good, but be ready for ads: Paid version. So you would think no ads, but no, they try and sell you there other apps, or even move you to them. So damn annoying. Note: it is only their apps not 3rd parties. I’ve cancelled my renewal, will move to one of the others late summer when that is up.
9. [R2] Windy.app 4/5 · US Cancel: You can’t cancel this app!!!
10. [R3] Windy.app 3/5 · US Onboarding process hung up: Tried to get on the app after subscribing to the one year $59 option. Can’t find a support phone number and the app is stuck in the enrollment process and I can’t start using the app for some reason. Payment went through so I don’t know what the problem is.
11. [R12] Windy.app 3/5 · US Glitchy: The days of the week underneath map view have been glitchy for weeks and since I rely on it, it’s disconcerting. Scrolling through it unexpectedly moves to different days. Also significantly have seen no upgrades in functionality for this app. I have used this app for years now, but will be switching.
12. [R29] Windy.app 1/5 · US SCAM: I cancel my subscription because I dint need it anymore, but they decided they still wanted to keep charging me money. Don’t use this app it’s a Scam.
13. [R16] Windy.app 2/5 · US Unreliable: Far too often is the wind forecast wrong. Standing in in unobstructed view of the water with a 7-10 mph forecast and not a leaf barely moving just a slight breeze. Anyone knows of a reliable source would love to know.
14. [R37] Windy.app 2/5 · US statistics: Fishing statistics have never matched reality. I’ve gone to places where they showed a 100% success rate and didn't get a single bite.
15. [R47] Windy.app 1/5 · US Poor Accuracy: Highly inaccurate and very misleading. Can’t be used to fish on Lake Michigan
16. [R6] Windy.app 3/5 · US What happened ?: Long time user and with the most recent update they removed the basic functionality of the seeing the wind projections @ multiple locations on the ‘home screen’ which was, in short, the backbone of the App (and what made it so convenient). Never understood why developers make these changes - probably looking for alternative ways to monetize the App.
17. [R9] Windy.app 3/5 · US Very niche yet lacking basic info: The weather forecasts are impressively detailed, although I didn’t get a chance to evaluate their accuracy. I deleted the app within minutes after discovering that basic information like sunrise and sunset times is only available through a desktop-only plugin. That’s a surprising limitation for a paid app. Quite disappointing.
18. [R39] Windy.app 1/5 · US Extremely poor user interface: EXTREMELY poor user interface. The information is great, once you get things set up. But it’s an exercise in frustration. I ended up using AI to try to get answers to simple tasks which should be intuitive and obvious. Windy needs to significantly up their game.
19. [R52] Clime 5/5 · US Love this app: I use it constantly and I read it down to the dew point 👍🏻 very accurate!
20. [R53] Clime 3/5 · US National Weather= more info without purchasing everything weather related.: Much less weather info than other weather apps for free. One option whole package or just basic 3 day weather.
21. [R54] Clime 1/5 · US Radar map only shows the past: Absolutely terrible. It only does the past 45 minutes on the radar map up to the current time. Can’t go past the current time. Unless you purchase from them. Constantly throwing purchase in your face as you try to explore the app to show future radar.
22. [R59] Clime 3/5 · US Good but…: The issue is that you need a subscription for most of the stuff, it’s good and all but I’m not paying for the ability to see hurricanes and other radar systems
23. [R66] Windfinder 5/5 · US Great app: This is my most reliable wind app,
24. [R67] Windfinder 1/5 · US Suck: Windfinder says delta is 8 mph , it was 24 mph, ocean said 5 ft by 20 seconds swell, it was 7 ft by 7 seconds… SUCKS
25. [R68] Windfinder 5/5 · US Boss: Would not want to be on the water without it. Great for picking the best days to be out. No surprises.
26. [R69] Windfinder 2/5 · US Grueling: I got the wrong app because I just wanted wind and temperature high and low. It doesn’t give that. But Lord Almighty this is the most poorly designed app I’ve ever seen. It is grueling to use.
27. [R85] Ventusky 1/5 · US You have to pay now: Used this app for years and loved it, and one day suddenly you can only look at about 3 of the "layers" for free now. Even thunderstorms are hidden behind a subscription. Won't be redownloading
28. [R86] Ventusky 5/5 · US Fantastic: Great tool for getting accurate weather and predictions
29. [R87] Ventusky 3/5 · US Lots of data if you can read it: This app is super informative, there are so many parameters you can read about the weather, unfortunately, I have yet to find a way that I can actually read it most of the time. The font is so tiny and I really wish it just had a simple view of a five day forecast. Also, it will tell you that there are alerts in the area, but you can’t actually see them like other
30. [R89] Ventusky 5/5 · US 9.9 out of 10!: I’ve tried quite a few weather apps over the native Apple weather app. This one is definitely my favorite over the popular ones (accu,windy,etc) Bonus points, love the fact that it doesn’t “link data to me/track me” across apps just for looking at weather
31. [R20] Windy.app 5/5 · US Very detailed: I used the free version for a while and it works good. I upgraded to the pro version and it has way more detail and options to better predict the weather. Found it to be quite accurate and I highly recommend using this if you have a boat, fish, or just want to check the weather forecast.
32. [R28] Windy.app 5/5 · US Hopefully this year: I purchased the Windy app a couple of years ago, but due to business and health issues I wasn’t able to use it as much as I would have wanted to, but the few times I used it, the app was awesome. This year I’m well and retired so I’m really looking forward to seeing all that can be accomplished with the help of the app.
33. [R33] Windy.app 1/5 · US No thanks: Invasive and expensive
34. [R36] Windy.app 5/5 · US Refund subscription: i was refunded without any issues after mistakenly not unsubscribing pass trial period.
35. [R40] Windy.app 5/5 · US Great weather app: Great app with many customizable options. Customer service is easy to reach if you ever have inquiries.
36. [R5] Windy.app 5/5 · US RELIABLE: Most reliable wind app of 9 that I have on my phone and I pad👍
37. [R8] Windy.app 5/5 · US The local weather forecast: I always like to check and find out what Windy is forecasting. It’s always worth checking. Almost time to put the boat back in the water and I will be checking to find out the local weather conditions first, always accurate and dependable, Thanks
38. [R32] Windy.app 4/5 · US Great so far: Very helpful so far. Better than other apps at specifically wind predictions.
