  1. [R5] Windy.app 5/5 · US RELIABLE: Most reliable wind app of 9 that I have on my phone and I pad👍
  2. [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
  3. [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.
  4. [R11] Windy.app 5/5 · US The best fishing app: La mejor app para pesca, la comunidad debería aportar más sus capturas y spots
  5. [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.
  6. [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.
  7. [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.
  8. [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.
  9. [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.
  10. [R21] Windy.app 3/5 · GB Navigation of site: It ia a kittle difficult to find things needs a main menu to start Also information re what i have bought Jeremy
  11. [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
  12. [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
  13. [R2] Windy.app 4/5 · US Cancel: You can’t cancel this app!!!
  14. [R28] 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
  15. [R30] 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.
  16. [R36] Windy.app 2/5 · US Put on my iPhone, now cannot delete it...: If i have it on iPhone, it's for trial period then automatically charges me after that period is done. I don't like apps that do this. Tried to delete from my settings, but I see no way to do so. I WON'T be using this ever again.
  17. [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.
  18. [R19] Windy.app 1/5 · US Subscription only: Constant spam/wants money
  19. [R44] Windy.app 1/5 · US Pest notifications: The data is solid but everyday I get a nag-o-gram notification to “not miss out on the huggggge saleeee” annoying AF. I’ll be sure to spend more with someone else before I buy here. Congrats.
  20. [R54] Windy.app 1/5 · US $70 -$170 per year? Nah: Who wants to pay that? The “best” option is $9 PER WEEK. Lol
  21. [R37] Windy.app 5/5 · US Refund subscription: i was refunded without any issues after mistakenly not unsubscribing pass trial period.
