Windy.com - Weather & Radar for Positive User Reviews

I was never a weather nerd... until now.Absolutely terrific, I was never interested in knowing much more about the weather besides if I should wear sleeves or not. However since finding this app I have become fascinated by it, i’ve spent hours comparing pressure zones, deciphering airgrams and learning about snow densities. Thanks for uncovering a interest I never realised I had! A excellent way to learn. Perhaps the educational market could be an approach. thanks!.Version: 15.15

Depth of quality and featuresGenuinely impressive, not just in terms of its party trick (the lovely nullschool style graphics) but also its depth and quality..Version: 22.03

2 of 2 of My Indispensable Hurricane appsUpdate November 2020 This Windy app is not just for coastal hurricane prone areas, any location where wind is a factor can benefit from the information it provides. For my area this app gives us a quick compilation of a tropical storm’s track and wind intensity, information we need to keep our family safe. This app is indispensable. I especially like the landscape mode (which automatically runs for 14 days) where you can size the map to watch as an area from continent to continent or just your local impact zone. For in-depth current hurricane information I go with the Hurricane Tracker app. When things start to get locally threatening, I confirm information I get from those apps with TV stations along the coast. They give us in-depth information on the impact of the storms that will affect them/us directly. Original review ... Nearly Perfect I found this app while watching Dorian approach the US. It is now my favorite app for monitoring local wind speeds and the projected path of hurricanes like Dorian. Assuming we all survive Dorian, the only improvement I would love to see (and would put it at the top of my weather app collection) would be to add a temperature icon badge to the app icon. I would also suggest replacing the solid red background with an image of Dorian in all his terrifying glory as the image behind the W on the app icon so the temperature icon badge would contrast appropriately..Version: 27.1.2

ForcastGenerally this is my first port of call for weather. I like to find wind direction, temperature, rain, and wind speed in that order. Also I like to see which direction the weather is to proceed (with allowance to increasing uncertainty as time ahead increases.) Barometric pressure could be useful. Chris.Version: 20.8

Excellent app, unstable at the momentI am a sailor, forest fire warden, pilot, an outdoor enthusiast who has been a paid subscriber for many years, and have always used Windy to get a good overview of the long-range models. It is the best general presentation of forecast models available. I used Windy on both an iPhone and iPad Pro with equal success. However, in the last few weeks it has become very unstable and crashes soon after initiating. I have followed all the developer’s recommendations for correcting the installation on the user’s end but to no avail. I suspect there still is some condition that they haven’t resolved and I hope they can figure it out. Good luck!.Version: 33.1.1.8

Excellent!! Best weather App there is!!Living in North Carolina and having a place in the Florida Keys I’m always concerned about hurricanes. This app is my go to app and is great because it has three different models. It has unfortunately been right with both Irma last year and Florence this year. It started showing the correct tracks as much as four and five days out because you can click between the different models. I use this app Wunderground and Mike’s weather page. Also they continuously add improvements..Version: 17.05

Windy wonderfulI have been a practising professional meteorologist for over 40 years with the Canadian Armed Forces (sea, land, and air), the Meteorological Service of Canada, and with the private sector as a consultant. Positions I have held include Manager of the Ottawa Regional Weather Forecast Centre, and subsequently Director of Aviation and Defence Services providing all aviation weather services to Nav Canada and all weather and oceanographic services to Canada’s military. Retired now and an avid cyclist and outdoors person, I use Windy daily for all my weather needs no matter where on the globe I may happen to be and as the main tool in providing personalized forecasts to friends and family scattered over the globe. It is a superb global weather data and forecast outputs visualization tool. It integrates numerous data sets from numerous countries seemlessly via an extremely intuitive user interface. Data sets such as precipitation from weather radars and strikes from lightning networks are combined into a common multi-national map background that one can scale easily. Ditto for most orbiting weather satellites. It pulls in 3-D numerical weather model outputs from numerous major modelling centres and provides tools to view multiple output fields overlaid onto scalable maps or in tables covering time spans, the vertical dimension, or surface outputs from multiple models together for comparison. In a word, it blows away the tools presently on most professional weather forecasters desks in major national weather services and private sector firms and, best of all, it is FREE!.Version: 20.11

Very good app for New Zealand and worldDetailed and graphically accurate information on everything the weather can throw into one’s day. Heartily recommend.Version: 14.16

Hands Down The Best Weather AppI have tried just about every weather app there is. But now I have found a keeper. Most of the others are either to hard to navigate, too cluttered and way too many adds. This one is so well laid out. It is easy to navigate and has everything you want in a weather app. It has satellite, radar, wind , cloud cover , thunderstorms and even snow accumulations for the winter months. You name it is there. I am using the free version and you are not bombarded with adds or them asking you too upgrade. Give this app a try and you will be glad you did.Version: 29.2.7

Great applicationAs a retired yatchie I look at this app every day, pity it wasn’t available when I was on the water..Version: 37.1.8

Pretty great as far as weather apps go.Very user-friendly for being as in depth as it is, and that makes it a both a joy and a useful teaching tool. But I want more. I’d really like this to take the place of all, or at least most, of the web sites I use. I’ll list 3 things specifically: 1. Access to more computer models. Instead of just the deterministic GFS and ECMWF, add the 30 and 50 ensembles, respectively, or at least a blend. The Canadian model and its ensembles. The HRRR. The UKMET. Any of the big boys that I haven’t listed here. Also some CAM’s for short term. And being able to plot the data in charts and meteograms instead of just maps. 2. Forecasts, short-term and long-term, for the oscillations that drive the earth’s weather, i.e. the Madden-Julian and ENSO. 3. Archived history of weather maps and surface observations at airport, marine, mesonet and personal weather stations. I understand these are big asks—and not likely to be of much use to most people—but as a 2nd, elite subscription tier for 9.99 a month, I’d buy in..Version: 34.3.2

WindyExcellent. Everything I want from a weather app. Maps show instantly overall picture of weather situation Nick.Version: 17.0207

Still not a Storm killerThis is a great app, no doubt, with more advanced wind data and comparable models, for example. But Storm Radar, for all its current bugs and weaknesses, still has some major advantages I can’t ignore, like future radar, likelihood of precipitation graph (not just amounts), simultaneous layers (in paid mode), storm tracks, and push notifications. This means I can’t totally jump ship, as much as I want to. I would also ask that webcams be able to be hidden. But make no mistake, this is a great app that focuses on providing lots of data instead of just being minimalist or entertaining..Version: 20.201

Sometimes I’m luckyI have a nice RV with a large deck on a lake. What’s on the deck, plants and some furniture, can take serious damage from wind and rain that blows sideways. Knowing how much wind and wind direction is critical for my potted plants, which can happily fly off the tables if it gets too windy. Windy keeps me informed of wind and wind gusting with direction as well as how much rain is expected. The maps showing wind direction is very cool but I love watching the storms on radar. I can replay the last hour or more of the radar and can see if the storm is hitting or missing. I set out to find a better weather app, and this is it. Lucky again!.Version: 29.2.7

AmazingBest weather app ever. If all you need to know is the temp and whether it is raining then use this OR any other weather app you can find.....they all do the job. But if you want to understand weather, the complete story, the many many layers of our atmosphere (literal and figurative) in rich detail, if you want the Whole story of our atmosphere this amazing app is what you want. Be patient and explore, this is not a toy but the real multifaceted story of our atmosphere. This is a truly amazing app..Version: 25.4.5

Superb appI have used many paid apps and this is by far and hands down the best weather app on any platform. I now look at the weather more than ever before and with choice of forecasting models available, now I am comparing and working out my own weather prediction alongside my PWS. I would happily pay for this app any day..Version: 17.10

Mariner’s best weather toolI live in Southeast Alaska, home of notoriously hard to forecast weather. Windy has become the weather forecasting tool of choice for myself and many other professional mariners that depend on accurate weather predictions to make their way safely in Alaska’s coastal waters year around. Windy’s forecast data resolution & choices of its presentation are absolutely excellent! Thank you for creating a tool that provides the insight we need to travel safely in an unforgiving environment!.Version: 27.3.2

AccurateLove this app. The most accurate weather app I have found. Always check this one before going fishing..Version: 35.3.4

Everyday!A lover of geography and weather, I use this app daily!.Version: 38.10520

Fantastic appUse it a lot as a supplement and to aid situational awareness for aviation weather briefings. Extremely intuitive user interface, I find the cloud base and visibility layers most helpful. Especially being able to use it in the correct units corresponding to my personal flight minima! Allows me to make the go/no go decision flying light aircraft some times even a day or two in advance so I cancel previous plans and make alternatives in good time..Version: 17.05

It’s got everythingSimply the best, most detailed weather app. I downloaded 10 weather apps and this one beats them all..Version: 27.3.2

Cruising onboard SwallowTried all weather apps for sailing and over a good period of time too. I have often made notes of how the weather is forecast by the different apps and found windy more often than not to be the best. Though none are perfect windy is as good as they get. I sail around the Irish Sea mostly in all conditions and cover about 1.5-2k per year on a small boat so weather is quite important to me..Version: 37.1.8.10

Windy is very goodBeen using windy for several years. Great app. Used as a sailing tool in the pacific, Aegean ,Sea of Cortez and BC coast Canada Good stuff.Version: 38.01049

Great informationLike how this app works and the information available on it. It’s great seeing the bigger weather/wind patterns..Version: 17.0202

One of the bestIt’s a great weather forecasting app produced by a team of weather enthusiasts. Over the past two years, this has taken the place of my go-to weather app. Such a wonderful range of metrics for everyone from the normal person to flyers, sailors, environmentalists, drivers and the climate connoisseurs. It’s great that you can create an account and view on apps, web and even your smart TVs..Version: 27.3.2

Great Weather Application - more than just windWindy is quick and easy to use. You can store your favourite locations for quick reference and get detailed reports if necessary..Version: 27.3.2

Great for a variety of usesWindy was recommended to me three years ago when I was training for a professional drone certification and I have used it ever since, not only for drone use but everyday weather checking and photography. I have recently upgraded to a paid subscription which I thoroughly recommend, especially for the one hour forecasts. Only 4 stars presently though as no Apple Watch version and lack of widget support..Version: 27.3.2

Cannot fault itI have used this app for a few years now and it has continued to improve with added features. It is more accurate than your run of the mill weather app, especially when you can compare the different forecasts. Easy to use, notifications of extreme weather in any place if you want. Gives a good idea of how the climate functions. Free, but worth a donation..Version: 18.0203

Windy my go weatherThe app is super simple to use. It provides up to date weather info of the many factors about the weather and virtually about 90% accurate with most long range weather predictions. Gives the local weather no matter where you are by using gps position location.Version: 38.10520

Windy tvLove it, really helps with decision making when it comes to boating..Version: 34.3.2

Windy ReviewWindy is Very handy and easy weather app to use for any age group i find it good for when im heading out for a fish and dive on the boat.Version: 35.3.1

Best weather app everIf you’re serious about knowing what the weather is doing and what it will be, you need this app. Even the free version provides more information than any other weather app. We travel around Australia full time with a caravan/travel trailer and knowing what the wind will be doing and what direction it will come from is a huge safety feature for us. If I could change anything it would be more functionality for the Apple Watch..Version: 37.1.8.10

Great Companion with your current Weather appI have my weatherbug app and I think this is great companion with weatherbug the big reason why is the 36 map layers I think that the whole lot of layers in the app and weatherbug has 18 that’s only half the layers. I like the wind and wind gust maps because you can storms. I think this very helpful for pilots, skydiving, paragliders and more. Also your latest addition extreme forcast if you think your getting a lot of rain it will show you if it’s normal, unusual, or extreme event Also again a great companion with your current weather app if accuweather or weatherbug or weather channel it’s great thank you.Version: 19.1802

Great for checking wind for surfingThanks to developers for screen fix update.. back to being awesome, it is usually very accurate apart from the odd rare local fluctuations with summer coastal seabreezes.Version: 29.2.7

Simply the BestWe have been using Windy for a few years now and it has grown into a fantastic tool that we wouldn’t want to be without. It is our ‘Go To’ for weather when planning passages for sailing. It’s usability knocks spots off PredictWind, and all for free. It is absolutely brilliant. We hope one day it develops to the point where we can get it off-shore and would happily pay for that privilege. Thanks Windy Team...we love you! You keep us safe on the water..Version: 20.11

Excellent forecasting toolMy go-to app for weather, in particular the wind forecast. Good selection of weather models to choose or compare. Excellent trajectory forecasting for multiple altitudes, unfortunately it only works on the laptop and not via the iPad yet but with the continued development and improvements I have confidence it’ll be across platforms soon..Version: 20.201

5 starts would recommendWindy is my favourite weather app, I’ve tried many over the years and once I found this one I haven’t used another since..Version: 27.3.2

A fantastic app but...Windy has very quickly become my go to app for accurate and detailed weather information, and living here in north west England we get plenty of weather! But I cannot understand why those of us who own a brilliant Apple Watch (series 5 44mm in my case...) are denied the pleasure of using this app on our devices? I have held back from making a donation and awarding a full five stars until I can use this app on my Apple Watch. Question for it’s developers, are there any plans in the pipeline to include Apps Watch owners in a future update (I hope there are...)?.Version: 25.0.0

This has got to be one of the best weather apps availableRead this Apple - this app works, it just works like Apple of old used to just work. If only all apps were like this. Wind at various altitudes, weather, metars, ocean currents, local weather, storms, lightning strikes, it's all there and then some. Highly recommended..Version: 16.11

Best weather app aroundThis app is just amazing!! I have it on all my devices. I love how you can see the weather in any part of the world and look at the wethercams. It is the most accurate in terms of weather predictions. Well done to the designers of this app..Version: 21.05

App crashes on iPad - ResolvedI'm running ios10.3.4 on my iPad and the recent fix by the developer has now solved the problem of the App crashing on bootup. This is a terrific App and provides a wealth of useful information particularly for those involved in aviation..Version: 19.1405

Excellent at both Simple or ComplexI’m a kayak commuter and my life depends on Windy. Gives a 7-day snapshot of key factors, or you can dig deep. Does wind, swell, temperature, and lots more. Amazingly accurate on rain, in 3 hour windows. It is my most trusted, favourite and most accurate weather app..Version: 27.3.1

Good graphics. Disappointed that extend days forecast removedVery good graphics and accurate forecasts. However disappointing that extended days forecast has been removed from free version of the app.Version: 38.00004

Amazing. Wouldn’t trust any other after using this appThe best source for weather reports I’ve ever come across, as unpredictable as the British weather could be this app has saved my bacon so many times. Regular updates, alerts, clear and very easy to use and understand. Been using it a few years now and wouldn’t use any other weather source, it’s more accurate than any local or national news station or weather service.Version: 21.05

JamesHasn’t let me down yet. Sailed down the east coast of the north island and was accurate to the hour on that particular trip. Apart from adding your own 15 knts to castle point and cook straight which is to be expected. Great for sailing with the distance planning. Windy keeps getting better and better.Version: 15.04

Fantastic 😉👍🏼Such a great app. Used mainly for flying light aircraft. Has been so beneficial to myself and others. We all love it and been using in regularly. All features are very user friendly. Thank you to all involved in creating this extremely handy app. 👌🏼😘👍🏼.Version: 18.0203

Great App.Really good App if you need to know the way the wind is blowing. Have other apps similar but this one is the most accurate and easy to follow. Highly recommend this App..Version: 29.2.7

Excellent appI am cycle touring through Europe. Into the 3rd year now. Have used several weather apps as we have made our way around and through the continent (including UK).Windy has proved to be the most reliable..Version: 15.04

Great but disappointed in PremiumAs a free tool, Windy is fantastic. Because I use it most days, I upgraded to Premium. Although you get better hourly resolution on the forecasts, the satellite resolution is still not anywhere near as detailed as some other paid platforms. Also, it’d be nice to be able to overlay kmls, GPX tracks etc on the iOS apps - this is currently only available on non mobile devices. Otherwise, hands down the best free weather tool out there..Version: 29.2.7

Truck driverThe best application ever, I use it a lot in my work to be able to plan my trip, I would recommend it to everyone because it is reliable 👍👍👍👍👍.Version: 37.2.4.23

My favorite appThis app is the most complete I've found and tells you day you can also see the days of a lot of rain. And I can say I've never removed it from my phone because I've had it since the hurricane irma and right now there's a hurricane coming to Mexico but it doesn't offer aAnd I can say I've never removed it from my phone because I've had it since the hurricane irma and right now there's a hurricane coming to Mexico but it doesn't offer any danger. Unload it. You will not regret putting play and you will see the days as you walk and you see the day the hurricane arrives at us. Thanks to us..Version: 29.2.7

Windy is greatMany features of Windy provide good information but I particularly like to use the “webcams” as this provides live information..Version: 37.2.0.10

The last update made it worseI liked the former version better. The new version is not as user friendly. Functions are hidden in menus. Resolution seems to have decreased too..Version: 39.010235

The perfect weather app—almostI started using Windy about five years ago primarily for boating on the inland passage in the Pacific Northwest. It was a great adjunct to other resources and it quickly became my go to weather app. I have enjoyed watching it improve over the past five years. The capabilities are almost endless. I have not even scratched the surface of many of the features and layers. The only negative is the last upgrade is unstable and will frequently crash for no apparent reason. The people at Wendy seem proactive and are interested in keeping things in good working order so I hope this will resolve soon..Version: 33.1.1.8

Meteo officeWindy is The Best forecasting app which I’ve been using. Combination of robust models with satelite and radar imaging gives me very accurate prediction whenever I am. As a sailor and hiker I relays on Windy - it is like having my own, multi division meteo office under my fingertip ;-)) Thank you guys at Windy - you’ve nailed challenge of good forecasting software. I also use your Windy maps and I am equally impressed..Version: 25.4.5

Robust AppWindy has a ton of information to pull from - standard weather info such as forecasts and live data, as well as richer information and graphics to pinpoint your activity for the day. I use it for snow levels, weekly rain, swell/surf, has even served me very well on several road trips to navigate through conditions (thank you/no thank you to driving through Nebraska during wind events) Highly recommend paid plan to unlock features, well worth the investment..Version: 28.0.3

Always rightBeen using this app for two years and in particular the wind forecasts are always bang on right down to subtle changes. Epic!.Version: 22.03

Simply the best...Possibly the greatest app of all time. Even if you’re not a weather nerd this is highly fascinating..Version: 24.0.4

BEST EVER!!!I’ll update this later in more detail... but your app is the BEST... I SERIOUSLY MEAN BEST... of every other weather app I’ve ever known and downloaded in the last 7 years! Everything from data sources, detailed info, everything for a weather nerd as myself... almost could be a meteorologist lol! I’m a geologist so love everything related to Earth’s science... I’ll post an update later... but need to say THANK YOU for the best app EVER! 😃 Thank everybody that aided in developing your app Once I’ve available funds... I seriously wish to contribute as much as possible to the developers! FYI... this is the first review I’ve EVER submitted for an app... so everyone should now understand my love of this app!.Version: 22.03

Zoom inGreat to be able to zoom into any time of the day and on any day. Found Windy when we were flying into a remote block in Fiordland NZ and the chopper pilot was using, so if they are using it, it must be good!!.Version: 20.11

ExcellentSubject says it all, this app is “excellent” I do have other weather apps but this one is my go to first one👍.Version: 34.3.2

Commercial FishermanWas skeptical at first that this could depict weather changes so precisely, but found that it is mostly correct. I think a lot of it is due to the quirky geography of the mountains and lengthy valleys near the waterways that I commercial fish during the winter months. Windy seems to be very quickly incorporating these local weather phenomena into their depictions, so we’ll see how precise it becomes later on. Just during the past week or so there have been many multiple changes in wind direction and intensity, and Windy has managed to plot all them out very well. A vast improvement over the NOAA text and audio based descriptions that also lack general time periods when the wind is going to switch and intensify. I do not own a large fishing boat that can brute force it’s way through anything over 30 knots, so I have to play by the rules the wind lays out for me. Windy has vastly improved my planning for weather headed my way. Very surprised Windy is as good as others have said it is, and very happy with this free service. It is rapidly gaining popularity among the commercial fleet here in Alaska..Version: 22.03

Best visualisation and range of modelsWindy provides the best user interface of all the wind/weather apps. It also clearly shows and compares the 4 different weather models so can make my own judgment based on a range of information. I use Windy constantly while sailing and I am happy to give it 5 stars..Version: 26.1.4

Comprehensive weather appFor anyone who really wants to understand what’s going on with the weather, this app has it all! So many different aspects covered - cloud levels, lightning, radar, wind, sea state. Even the more obscure things that gives some clues into what cases particular ‘weather’. The only surprise is no obvious ‘fronts’ being shown..Version: 20.8

So much detailed information!This is the most informative weather app I've used. You can see predictions from multiple forecast models. For example, one model might show 2mm/hr rain on Saturday morning, and another might have 1mm/hr in the afternoon — much more useful than other apps which might say "50% chance of rain" without saying whether it's going to be a drizzle or downpour. All of the data are beautifully presented in graphical format. I really appreciate the wind vector animations when planning bike rides. The only "downside" is that it takes a bit of practice to learn how to use the features and interpret the data, but it's well worth the effort!.Version: 38.01049

Accurate and easy to useAlways nails my high county weather reports.Version: 27.3.2

Wow new ui/uxWow… the new UI/UX menu is lame. I need reading glasses to navigate the tiny new menu. And there’s more taps required to access common features. Please provide the option to choose whichever UI you prefer. I’ll take the old one right away.Version: 39.010236

Great appGreat work team. This is a great app but missing a few settings I would personally like to see the following improvements:- 1. Map zooming in and out - when you zoom in and out it doesn’t allow small zoom changes. It almost ‘snaps to grid’. For example if viewing the UK I’m either too far out that I can see some of Europe or too far in that the UK doesn’t fit on the screen - you need smaller increments of zoom like google maps etc do. 2. Make the animations much smoother and free flowing like MeteoEarth. Windy animation is too blocky. 3. Allow the default layer to be set rather than defaulting to wind. 4. Weather radar for UK - you have now done this. Great work!.Version: 15.15

Better than most forecasting appsI was a magic seaweed type of bloke but Windy is a lot more accurate. More detailed. You will find more waves with this app.Version: 37.2.5.27

Helping us with the new normalMy city and surrounding towns are currently suffering terrible air pollution due to all the bushfires in Australia- this app has been a great way to monitor the smoke levels we are being subjected to and allows us to plan our days for inside and outside activities- thanks!.Version: 22.03

If Carlsberg made a Weather AppJust the best for weather info bar non!! I spend a huge chunk of my life working in the North Sea, believe me, all things weather are important to the likes of me. Oh....and I have been known to snowboard, want to know what the snow is like up them thar hills? This is your man. You there!! Worship at this Apps feet.....it’s your saviour..Version: 17.03

Practically Omni - purpose !The shear breadth of data that the Windy organisation have amassed is a triumph in itself, whether you want to get a heads up on barometric systems heading your way, check snow or rain or see what the pollen count or pollution will be at the weekend, Windy can channel it all. The graphics are so intuitive that many in the industry must wonder why they haven’t been like this always. Congratulations to everyone involved, and continued success..Version: 21.05

Weather forecastMost accurate forecast of when to expect weather which is important for my work. I can almost pick the minute we get the first drop thanks to this app 🤙🏼 From Dunsborough.Version: 35.3.4

Mesmerising and instructiveThis app is mainly for those interested in wind speed and direction but gives so very much more and on a global scale with quite accurate forecasts over 7 days. Watch cyclones form and follow their paths, see where the pollution is, where rain is gathering, how wind circles lows and highs and lots more, the world over. A hot favourite with me, an ex yachty!.Version: 22.03

Founded Cayman Windsurf in the late eighties, so always been “following the Wind”.This is an Awesome App giving a clear, big-picture, graphical clarification of which coast of our Island, Grand Cayman is directly facing an onshore wind at each point during the period as a storm approaches, collides with, passes and recedes from our shores. Vitally important for those living on the coast, who are wondering when the sea is going to be threatening property, life and limb! And when an offshore wind will turn a typically windward-shore into a calmlGoon. Fascinating to see how systems from hundreds of miles away produce stormy conditions. Love it. Thank you! Chris N.Version: 27.1.2

Use it all the time for long distance cruise planning as well as for local fishing tripsI have weather XM subscription on my Garmin chart plotter, but it only gets me a wind view out 3 days. Windy gives me an outlook on wind and swell direction as far as a week out. I find this invaluable for our summer cruising in the Bahamas. It allows me to line up wind and waves to best suit my boat and allows me to give my passengers a better ride on passages. Together with Weather XM and internet weather reports, I can minimize bad weather experiences for my guests (and wife) so they will want to come back again and again! I use Windy more than any of the others mentioned because it’s so handy and can be taken easily from boat to boat. Wherever I carry my phone (which is everywhere) I can get wind and sea conditions. If you’re a boater, you will love this app..Version: 37.2.0.10

Great SiteHave been using windy for a while. Great site as forecasts so localised. Just motored a 12 meter launch from Whakatane to Picton over a week. Windy was pretty spot on right though the trip giving us confidence to pick patches of good weather..Version: 17.10

Wow, what can I sayI am an absolute Weather fanatic. I have purchased many a Weather app and scoured most of the App Store for the best. This without doubt is the one for those who want vast detail, and what is unbelievable is that it is completely free. I am still reasonably new to this app to form a concrete opinion regarding accuracy but thus far, this is superb and well worth downloading. What can you lose??.Version: 15.15

WIND, SWELL and TIDE’sLove this App! It’s a one stop shop for all my weather and climate forecasts and I use it every day, mostly for WIND and WAVES (swell), but also sea surface temperature. The forecasts are incredibly accurate even days out. One recommendation that would be useful for me would be to incorporate ocean TIDE cycles. Many thanks and keep it up..Version: 25.0.0

Love this appEspecially the nice meteogram display. Compact and efficient, clearly shows temps and pressure trends, cloud cover, precipitation. Oh did I mention it’s also accurate? All that’s missing is the nicely Interpolated radar maps from the now defunct dark sky. Monetization is unobtrusive and very reasonable, a rare thing nowadays..Version: 33.1.1.5

I love windy, but …This new UI is troublesome. Why has the sleek sidebar been replaced with such an obtrusive gallery? I would love the option to revert to the old style if possible, but in the meantime I will continue to use the browser version as it hasn’t changed. Thank you for such an amazing service. Please don’t change the browser version to this new UI style 🙏.Version: 39.010235

Great wind forecast appEasy to use, precise so you have less chance of missing the conditions! You can also create alerts to let you know when conditions are best!.Version: 15.15

The best, but incorporate meteoblue maps?As a developer myself, I really appreciate the quality of work going into an app like this. The fact that you have 5 comparable forecast models that can also be compared with ground station data really sets this apart. It’s hard to ask for more. That being said… I want more!!! Could you please incorporate meteoblue maps, at least for temperature and wind? It’s misleading when I select meteoblue as the forecast model but the map continues to display the previous “map supported” global model (ECMWF GFS or ICON). If meteoblue only supports some data, I’d prefer a warning message saying “we can’t show this because it doesn’t exist”, rather than the current behavior of showing me something that does exist but isn’t what I asked for. Additionally, selecting NAM 5km from the same menu seems to prematurely “snap back” to ECMWF. I dislike, but still prefer, the tendency of NAM 5km to only switch to ECMWF when the modeled region goes *completely* out of view (which is my experience when selecting NAM from the side-bar, rather than within the forecast menu). I’d like no switching at all, but it’s not a big inconvenience. Thanks, and keep up the great work!.Version: 29.2.7

AwesomeVery accurate and helps me make the right decision on where to go, recommend to everyone!.Version: 25.4.5

WindyI actually find it more accurate than all the weather stations in NZ. If I’m getting aches in my hands I check Windy for the reason..Version: 19.10

Size of informationNeed to make the text font for information relating to wind etc larger so easier to read. Map is less important than the info. Thanks.Version: 20.11

Great app but one more little fix pleaseYour latest update with the menu icon moved in easy reach of my thumb. But the menu close button is still out of reach at the top of the screen. Maybe swipe to close would work. Otherwise this is the best. I use it with my flying app. Top stuff..Version: 15.12

Love this app, and it keeps getting better!I live in a city famous for changeable weather. I like to fish, kayak, ride bikes, and just spend time outdoors. This app gives me more accurate info than anything else. Incredibly dense and detailed information in an interface that still looks gorgeous. And now tides! I love you guys!.Version: 14.04

ExceptionalThis is just an exceptional app in every regard. It's beautiful on the iPhone and iPad, where it correctly shows landscape - always surprised at the number of apps which do not - but it is arguably best enjoyed on a PC desktop in full screen. It also permits a very nuanced configuration (e.g. allowing distances to be shown in miles but everything else as metric). Can't recommend enough..Version: 35.3.1

The BOMThe Australian bureau of meteorology has got nothing on this. I don’t know where you’re getting your data from but the algorithms are fantastic. I’m riding my motorbike across south-east Australia and you’re enabling me to plan every move. Much appreciated..Version: 28.1.1

Best map of NYCWe love Windy. It's beautiful and though we din't understand most of what's in it and the interface is non-intuitive, that's fine because it is a really serious map for people who are knowledgeable about weather — which we are not. But, we love having perfectly fresh information and, living in New York City, we are thrilled by one feature of the map which we have not found in google apps or Apple maps or anybody else's maps — the street numbers of the buildings! Saves us from the annoying experience of coming out of the subway only to find we are walking the wrong way down the street. Wonderful!.Version: 21.05

Simply the best..I used to work for the met office, and I use this app all the time, wherever I am in the world to plan marine operations. It uses the same model data as most forecasts, and displays it through a wonderfully intuitive interface. In addition to its simple display, it is also possible to view more advanced features such as model comparisons, and vertical profiles..Version: 15.15

Better than the forecast.Determining the weather for Hawke’s Bay NZ Is very difficult as we are surrounded by mountain ranges. With Windy it’s possible to see what the wind is doing and see the incoming clouds. This app is a great tool that I use on a daily basis to determine the actual weather as it is very accurate. 👍.Version: 24.00

Best sea Weather App on the marketI work at sea in the Merchant Navy and as a navigating officer this is the best weather app on the market especially as it is free. Very detailed with some amazingly accurate overlays and it gets the weather and sea conditions bang on. Deciding when to depart or continue a voyage this app never lets us down. Would happily pay a charge for it if it came about. Swampy the sea dog 😀.Version: 15.04

The go-to weather appThe first place I go when assessing weather conditions- long term, wide area or very specific. I mostly use Windy for wind conditions for paragliding, but it's valuable for all manner of activities and weather. It's the most trustworthy of all the models I've tried, but like all of them, you need to how to interpret the data for specific locations and conditions..Version: 25.4.5

Found my weather appHaving tried at least 5 other weather apps over time, I found Windy last week before hurricane Henri (I’m in NE US). I find it to be truly better, and has a different kind of design than then others. As I look through options, I find it’s not hard to navigate and an absolute wealth of info is available and easy to find. I try an unpaid version before upgrading, on the reasoning that if I find the first tier is great, I will eventually want the paid upgrade. In the free version, things are beautifully laid out, so Windy has my vote!.Version: 30.102

Six starsA lesson to others in how to write apps. Best weather app on iOS bar none. Free but runs on donations or subscriptions. No adverts. Fantastic. 2 June 2021 - widget has stopped working and option to donate has disappeared. Premium subscription cost is *far* too expensive. When planned adverts start to appear this app will, unfortunately, be deleted, shame..Version: 29.2.7

Great app for out and aboutGreat app for planning our outdoor activities. Would like to see a widget for the app please and also for humidity to be included in percentage in the basic view summary screen. Keep up the good work..Version: 27.3.2

My go to weather appIt probably the most complete and accurate weather app currently available. The weather radar function is superb as you get to see the actual weather and not a forecast, in the wider area almost real time.Version: 37.2.5.27

All the information you needAmazing compilation of weather data and accurate modeling. As long as you have a cellular network, a truly local forecast is at your fingertips (not just the nearest weather office, which in my case may be 100 km or more from my location). Temperature, wind speed, cloud cover, cloud level, precipitation, radar and lightning are all right there and remarkably accurate. My colleagues used this in a remote camp in the Yukon Territory and could accurately determine conditions and forecasts for helicopter and fixed wing flying, saving a lot of jet fuel in the process..Version: 16.04

Weather for everyone!FINALLY! - A weather app for adults. This app is amazingly sophisticated and deep with information enough to satisfy the most dedicated weather geek, yet simple enough so that you can see all the details of a 10 day forecast in one chart. The animated wind and storm overlays are absolutely the best I’ve seen in any weather app. The only thing lacking is a detailed video analysis of the weather situation for a particular area, but these are fraught with ads in other weather apps, and with a little education and the information provided by this app you could nearly compose your own video..Version: 28.1.1

Near perfectFinally a proper interactive weather app. If you want deep weather information this app makes it easy to read multiple datasets quickly. Best I’ve come across. Here in Wellington, New Zealand being able to forecast is critical..Version: 21.05

Outstanding weather appThe most comprehensive weather app available. This is for anyone serious about getting accurate weather information. Packed full of features and overlays. It is just brilliant..Version: 20.11

Excellent app!!!!!This makes working out the surf really easy, swells wave height and best of all the basic version is free, its very easy to understand even the wind just makes everything easy, the visuals are to easy to understand it really is 5 star..Version: 33.1.1.5

My favourite go to weather appBeautifully presented data that brings weather to life in beautiful and very helpful graphics. I finally ‘got’ how climate works..Version: 25.0.0

Top weatherGreat that you can compare different models and use the radar feature to do your own short term predictions. Handy that it integrates sea conditions in. If you know how to read a map this is far superior to any mainstream weather app.Version: 29.2.7

Please bring back forecast soundings/Skewt scrubbing through time functionally on phonesI am a professional meteorologist and I used this app on my iPhone all the time. However, a recent update dropped a critical piece of functionally. I used to be able to click on a point, bring up a Skewt forecast, then scrub through time to see how the profile evolves. I can no longer do this. Can you please bring this back? Thanks for the awesome work!.Version: 37.2.5.24

ForecastsExcellent forecasting service. Especially handy for a specific place forcast and using the different layers builds up a good idea of conditions for example when motorbike touring I can see where it is clear, cloudy, wet…. And this helps with gear selection..Version: 37.2.0.10

ValuableWith it being integrated into electronic flight bags like AVPLAN EFB, it is a Valuable tool to provide exceptional situational awareness for aviation weather and flight planning. Also my go to app for windsurfing. Ability to switch between source modelling algorithms provides a visual “average “ for long range planning..Version: 20.201

WindyJust fantastic, everything you want in such a user friendly format.Version: 35.3.4

Metars and Models and Satellites oh my!I’ve been a severe weather enthusiast for years I also have a very busy, not-weather related profession so I always seem to spend the first week before tornado reason trying to relocate all of the meteorological data online. No more! With Windy I can old-school my forecasts based on surface data, or I can flip through model data. The settings and visual layering are incredible! Thanks to the developers for an amazing, thoughtful app! I’m just kicking myself that I’m only now finding this. If you are looking for a standard, user-friendly “here’s your local forecast”, kind of app, this app is probably not your best bet. If you are a chaser, spotter, forecaster, weather enthusiast or anyone working in the marine world, this app is the best I’ve come across!.Version: 26.1.4

Most informative weather app there isIf you like to fly a drone this app is essential. I love this app. It’s not the primary weather app I use for day-to-day (Dark Sky). But it is vastly more informative than any other weather app. When I want to actually see what’s happening in the forecast this is my go-to. Also, the wind alerts are brilliant..Version: 22.03

Ultimate weather AppProfessional and recreational applications there is nothing that comes close to windy. Intuitive interface with good information. As Complex or as simple as anyone would ever need. I use it exclusively for avalanche forecasting and mountain guiding trip planning. Excellent work team..Version: 24.0.4

Windy weather mapI work in the wind industry and carry out maintenance on medium sized wind turbines. On sites in Shetland ,Orkney ,England. Kintyre and Galway in Ireland . I find windy very useful tool. To help plan if use my mobile cranes this is important to get your weather window By moving the pointer about the map you can see the wind/weather conditions and you can move ahead and see what days me be suitable to carry out maintenance . I also like the graphics which show the different colours which give you a overall view of the wind strength and conditions ..Version: 22.03

Very usefulI like the Windy weather app for my aviation student exploits gives accurate information in a clear format with detail to dive into. I use it with Met office and other info to build my weather picture and forecast for the day or week ahead. I’ve shared with many pals into other activities like biking / golf etc and they all find it useful To be honest I don’t know why the Windy guys don’t just charge an app fee it’s good value as an interactive live feed forecast tool.Version: 17.03

Excellent & very usefulI frequently refer to this site & highly recommend it to you. D.Version: 29.2.7

Windy reviewThis is an excellent and thorough app on the weather it is fine as it is. I don’t even use half of its capabilities. I’ve tried to down load the updated version without success. I can’t remember my password and am unable to successfully create a new one. Please don’t abolish this version. You’re a legend. I am happy to make a donation for its retention..Version: 28.1.1

LearningI find this to be my best weather app and accuracy is fair. Comparing forecasts across a number of apps gives me the best rural forecast. I have found windy to be the most accurate and I appreciate that past weather is not deleted as soon as “now” passes in time. This allows me to see what occurred overnight, upon waking. I would like if there was instructions or a tutorial as I am not able to use many of the features. Kindly, Brad Interlake MB Canada 🇨🇦.Version: 38.00004

Too Good for the Human RaceThere is no way to truly appreciate this in one lifetime. Excellent app.Version: 37.2.5.24

Great app for boatingOne of the most accurate wind forecasts for boating on Georgian Bay.Version: 39.10337

Pretty accurateGood for aviation and wind sports I’ve found all around the world including the Arctic and Antarctica. Keep on developing it. It’s a great platform. There is more to get out of the models and technology and the app..Version: 25.4.5

Great app, needs bigger forecast text.Love the app, love the sheer amount of data. However, my only complaint is how small the text is in the app on my iPhone. The forecast information comes up on the bottom the of the screen, when it could easily cover the whole screen with a larger more legible, readable format. We don’t need to see the map when looking at the forecast. We can go back to the map to choose another location. Also, the icons; such as the home icon etc., could be larger. They are tiny at the bottom right. I have an iPhone 11, so not a small screen, and I’ll try to click one icon only to click another. With these improvements the app could be even better..Version: 29.2.7

Awesome and thoroughI go offshore west coast vancouver island and rely on Windy forecast and weather and found Windy to be most reliable and accurate!!!!!.Version: 25.4.5

Best App I’ve ever usedThis is a beautifully designed app for both the iPhone and the iPad. It’s colourful, vibrant, clear and very user friendly. It’s the weather app a weather geek like me has dreamed of for years and I don’t use anything else. It has everything you need for observations, forecasting, model data from different countries, radar, a rather gorgeous lightning data tracker which updates in real-time and also utilises the iPhones Taptic Engine. The temperature map is wonderful, unmatched in any other weather app. My only passing criticism is still the lack of weather front data on isobar charts but that seems to be a technical issue more than the lack of ability of the app developers. If you can do it I’d be forever grateful! Don’t look anywhere else, if you’re reading this you’ve found the best weather App the App Store has to offer! Best thing about it! It’s free and it’s also Ad free too! I genuinely would not have minded paying a couple pounds for this app..Version: 19.10

Great appDoes everything expected, and new features improve it all the time.Version: 20.201

Gotta have it now I’ve got it!I didn’t think a weather app would be so useful, but living in Rural NSW and enduring the non-summer of ‘19-‘20 with bushfires, smoke, hail and everything but the biblical plague of locusts, the Windy app enabled me to track the specific weather conditions pertaining to each threat as they developed. I can honestly say it was literally a life saver for me. Planning a bushfire contingency plan and then being able to execute it as the conditions developed kept both property and people safe. Can’t do without it now!.Version: 22.03

Favorite app.I rely on Windy's layered forecasts and current data, every day, for my cycle commute to work. I most appreciate its accuracy for planning my weekend surf missions up and down the coast. Thumbs up Windy..Version: 15.04

Windy’s Accuracy and Marine ApplicationHaving free access to Windy has significantly improved the safety and enjoyment of sailing for my wife and I. We didn’t have the budget for a subscription weather forecasting application and have relied on Windy forecasts exclusively to sail 1200 miles to Puerto Vallarta. Studying the changes in airpressure, wind velocity and direction; and the resulting wave and cloud cover forcasts has greatly improve our understanding of the effects of airpressure on weather conditions at sea and thus safety. Our experience comparing forecasted with actual conditions has found Windy to be extremely accurate..Version: 25.0.0

TerrificAn excellent app, replaces another weather app which was good until their updates got rid of the wind map. This app is terrific and I recommend it above all others. Well done! App appears to have failed I am just getting a white screen Help! Updated iPad system app now works great Well done Windy.Version: 29.2.7

GREAT APP!Great app but needs more Widgets!! Particularly the smaller square one for the iPhone! Will give 5 stars for more widgets, but won’t be paying for it!.Version: 33.1.1.5

So much infoA lot of information, which is great. Takes some time to learn how to utilize all the features. Worth the effort though. I like the different forecasting models. They help when trying to predict mountain weather. I think the iPad version is the best personally. The phone is too small and there is just something about the web version that isn’t my favourite. I only use the free versions..Version: 37.2.2.12

Great weather appI work for a wind farm and use this app regularly when planning my week. The wind is always spot on, rain can be a little off but still usually quite good..Version: 29.2.7

Help!Update I want to thank the developers for their persistence and patience in assisting me with gaining access to my premium subscription across all devices. The only thing better than the incredible performance of Windy is the amazing team that provide support for the application. Thank you once again!! I’m trying to seek assistance with accessing my Premium account. It appears on my iPhone but will not allow me to access it on my iPad. Somehow my account has been corrupted and I am not able to access help in a traditional manner..Version: 33.1.1.8

Clear, Comprehensive & accurateEverything you’ll need to know about forthcoming weather in one app. Especially like ability to access forecasts from the main weather models (& to cross compare for given location). This means you can use own judgement in building an informed picture..Version: 29.2.7

HappyWindy is awesome, always very close with forecast , even ten days out. Highly recommend 👍👍👍👍.Version: 29.2.7

BrilliantI am a recent refugee from weather underground who have just destroyed their app with the worlds least advisable update. So I have been hunting through a dozen apps for something to make my new go-to source for all things weather. This is it! Totally what I probably always wanted but never knew existed or was possible in an app form. I read all the local NWS Discussions but never before could actually see the eg ECMWF or GFS forward projections to understand anything more. Your app gives me a whole new window into understanding the weather of Southern California and controls thereof. So happy!.Version: 22.03

World wide resultsThis app is the best I have used by far. I use it throughout the world for work and recreation purposes and the results are so accurate that I make my final go/no go decisions on the results. Have and would recommend it to anyone..Version: 22.03

App crashSince the last update, the app is crashing. Even if I restart it, there's nothing to do.Version: 20.8

Brilliant App!This app is absolutely fantastic if you’re one of those people who want to know more about the weather than just a simple news forecast. The amount of detail you get given is phenomenal, and the presentation is easy to use. Would thoroughly recommend!.Version: 21.05

Very informative, room for improvementI recently started using this app as a paramotor pilot. The only real gripe I have with it is that the screen that shows winds aloft can’t be zoomed in as far as I can tell. I find myself taking screen shots and then coming out of the app to open the photo and zoom in that way to see it more clearly. Other than that it’s a very useful tool..Version: 21.0302

Best DIY weather appIf you want to be your own meteorologist, this is the app. You have four models to choose from, including the renowned ECMWF, and can make your own comparison among the four. If you like the autonomy and are willing to take a little more time, you can do wonders with this app. If you prefer to let a meteorologist do the work, then you’re better off with your local weather station, keeping in mind that the forecasters are working from these same models. I live in a remote area in Alaska where there is no forecast available and for this situation Windy is invaluable..Version: 21.05

MétéoCe site est le plus précis..Version: 39.010235

Windy waysI live of the coast and love this App. It’s great for the close up detail and to see where the wind is coming from, and speed etc. but I also like the big picture. Seeing what other weather is on its way..Version: 34.3.2

BrilliantFantastic app. Easy to use and friendly interface. Highly recommended.Version: 22.03

Best Weather App Ever InventedToo many good things to say about this app. I don’t have the space or the time to list them. So detailed, so accurate. If you need to know what is happening weather wise wherever you are currently or are planning to go this is the app to get!.Version: 25.4.5

WindyThis is the best weather app. We recommend it to all our customers in a tourism destination for boating, fishing, snorkeling etc. If you added live footage, it would be even more awesome! People aren’t aware of all the features that include swell, rain, cloud cover etc, but when we tell them they love it even more. It is THE BEST..Version: 25.0.0

Packed with a LOT of useful information - the bestDon’t waste your time with other weather apps. If you learn how to analyse the information given and there is a lot, you will realise this is the most accurate weather app available, period. The graphics are 10/10..Version: 20.11

Why Windy works for usOur first task each morning is to check the wind forecast. It’s the alternative to a diary when a boat is your home. We love Windy. Along with the important extended wind forecasts we depend on, we can also enjoy the other features that are unique to Windy. It’s easy to check what’s happening interstate so you can be envious or relieved. The display is beautiful and enjoyable to interact with. The longer forecasts may of course change but it’s enjoyable to at least anticipate options. The multi dimensional indicators using colour, movement and the numerical pointer make for a lively interface. Thanks Windy. Life aboard has been a little brighter since we found you. From Russell and Katrina.Version: 24.0.4

Awesome none betterVery comprehensive combining so many data sources including air quality and emissions Only thing missing is access to local monitoring stations but this would globally a massive task. Well done windy team! Keep up the good work.Version: 20.201

IndispensibleA must have wheb travelling on the sea or sun bathing in windy islands like Folegandros!.Version: 38.10520

I love this appThe best weather app I have ever used. I have been using it on my pc since it was released and was really thankful when the app became available. We get a lot of thunderstorms where I live and this app is great for monitoring their progress and how bad they might be. There are a heap of great features and I highly recommend this app. Thank you Windy! Very much appreciated! A1 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟.Version: 34.3.2

Please add humidex and wind chill factorThanks.Version: 39.000931

Amateur userWithout doubt, this is the most versatile and reliable app. I have used for weather purposes. The range of weather elements included is virtually all inclusive. For our own area, the forecast has been very trustworthy. The graphics are excellent and everything is user friendly..Version: 22.03

Very detailed Weather App!! But one thing...This Windy App is a very detailed and accurate app I've ever used!! I've used this app for a total of maybe 1 year and so far it's been great! Would strongly recommend anyone to get this app as it has lots of options for different weather layouts, and it's free!! There is one thing I wanna ask, developers... Is there an option to pay the Windy Premium (in app purchase) one-time fee for *lifetime* than just one year? If not, is it possible to make the one time fee premium lifetime than a year? Have a nice day!.Version: 34.3.2

S Tier AppSuper useful app, no complaints..Version: 38.10520

The amazing AppIt is rare one comes across an app that is so both Useful and Entertaining! Looking all over and watching how the atmosphere can do such amazing things with the weather and the wind reminds us that we are at the mercy of forces greater than we can imagine! I showed it to a Maine fisherman who spent many years fishing on the Grand Banks and now fishes more near shore. When I gave him the link I said while you are out there look what Windy says and then what you observe. He is an old school guy but now a believer in Windy!.Version: 35.3.1

Great app for all weather lovers!!!This is one of my favorite free weather apps. It’s not just winds, which as a weather lover and sailor is wonderful, it has an awesome radar system. Shows lightning strikes that light up, wind and gusts, cloud cover, and a great real-time/future option for wind, jet streams, and tropical storms! So many options that took me a while to realize it had. Like GFS and Euro models for future weather and hurricanes. Honestly my number one go to for storm watching and 99% of all my weather information needs. Have turned probably hundreds of people like me on to this app! Keep it going because ya’ll are doing everything right!!!!.Version: 20.11

Windyty short review.Windyty is awesome!!! Hardcore 5 stars!! It helps me fish, hunt, plan my kayaking and mountain biking trips so as the amount of snow for snowmobiling and skiing. It’s such a precise application on wind speed, gusts, temperature and even the amount of snow on the ground and it’s density. Sick app, try it out!.Version: 29.2.7

Use windy every time I go sailingI find the interface very simple to use yet with some experience you can get even more using the functionality in the menu. Having the data available has enhanced my sailing and knowledge..Version: 29.2.7

Best weather appAs a farmer I keep a close eye on the weather and this is by far the best weather app I’ve ever used. So much information and models at your fingertips in one place on one app! Great stuff thank you to all the team at windy for making this app! Keep it up!.Version: 19.10

Excellent !!!Very user friendly. Easy to navigate and real time information updates are very beneficial. Great work, keep it up. Cheers.Version: 22.03

Windy appDon’t leave your launch without this app. Accurate and reliable. Easy to read with info on wave height and tides. Very happy with the app..Version: 38.01049

Brilliant app that just keeps getting betterThis app is amazing and I’ve used it for two years to predict weather on the ocean. When every other app is wrong, Windy is right. Thanks to the developer and his team for producing such a detailed and accurate app, your work is very much appreciated..Version: 15.04

So Close To The Only Weather App You’ll NeedI have used Windy for over a year and value it enough to subscribe to the premium level. It is worth the annual fee and a 5-Star rating except for one single missing feature. The app is very flexible and powerful. With a selections from the menu a user can see anything from from a simple local forecast to see the long term trends in an area. If you are a pilot, surfer, or someone who really wants a deep dive in to important aspects of the weather that is easily available too. Also important - Windy accurately forecasts the weather. It even allows you to chose from several forecasting models should you believe a particular model is more accurate. Yet all of the flexibility provides some frustration, and judging by the forum, many other users. Windy seems to have a single default view that applies to all users. So then each time we open the app we have to remember and find all of the menus selections to display the weather the individual user wants. It takes a minute or two to get this set so no big deal - but then again this is required every time a user opens the app. If Windy allowed a user to set a default view this would solve that issue and then from my perspective, be the only weather app I need..Version: 33.0.4

A fab weather appI use lots of weather apps and this is way ahead of the rest both in the range of information available and the style in which it is presented. I notice someone gave this one star - I can only think they were looking for a cure for a gastric problem!.Version: 15.15

Excellent appThis app is wonderful for planning and for knowing what’s going on outside. The various layers are super-helpful for Flight planning as well. The simple and intuitive interface is very user friendly. I like that one can get as detailed as they want, with meteograms, etc. Before it was changed, I used to use the Storm app as a supplement, because it showed surface prog charts and storm tracks. Those would be two layers that this app could benefit from ASAP. The other Change I would make would be to be able to place several layers on at once (cloud base and CAPE, for example)..Version: 14.0901

The best way to view weather dataI’m a weather forecaster and have been using Windy for years now to check weather forecast model info, it’s the best looking, and easiest to use web page and app I’ve ever used! Great work!.Version: 16.04

Up there with the best.I’ve used Windy for 3 months. The first trip up the Irish Sea from Milford Haven to Ardfern in Scotland. My friend used his Grib files and l compared them both to the weather we actually had. Then on a trip from Amsterdam to Falmouth. Windy was always closer to the actual weather we experienced. Easy to use and to load. But remember to compare at least 2 different weather sources!!.Version: 15.04

GreatI use it everyday. I'm in aviation so reliable weather is a must have and I have never been disappointed by Windy. Best app there is! The only thing I'd love to have would be frontal systems displayed but there are plenty of other ways to get these so it'd be a nice to have but no reason to not give 5 stars..Version: 19.10

Windy WeatherI have found Windy to be one of the best weather apps available. I particularly like the ability to view four different weather models, and to look forward several days with the predictions. A few suggestions: It would be nice if you could see both the selected menu item AND the particular legend. Currently, after you select a specific item, I.e. rain accumulation, you have to X out of the menu before the ledge down come up at the bottom. It would be nice if you could see both at the same time and just circulate between menu items. The font is pretty small at the bottom...great data, but have a look at the formatting....in some cases things are impossible to read since they are overlapping, such as cloud altitudes. Rain vs. Snow accumulation.......it’s confusing. Looks to be the same physical accumulation data, but we know inches of snow isn’t inches of water.... Would be nice to be able to zoom the map like all other apps........instead of just having several different fixed scales. This is a wonderful app, and I encourage you to keep making it better. Thanks..Version: 17.05

Northland weatherGenerally I find Windy (mainly rain) pretty accurate, which is great as I have an avocado orchard ( reduce irrigation if rain is on the horizon), and plan my golfing endeavours around the forecast. All up a win/win !.Version: 21.05

Accurate for my open water fishingBeing able to compare 3 models is a great help in getting reliable, location specific forecasts a few days ahead, am able to get more boat days than ever before. Thanks.Version: 22.03

Tom McCormackI’ve used Windy for several years to help me plan and execute flights in light aircraft. It proves especially useful when planning long distance flights including transatlantic flights. It has played a massive part in helping me make informed decisions as whether to fly or not fly. Even on shorter flights it gives me accurate forecasts for locations that are not covered by the normal aviation weather forecasts..Version: 20.201

WindyOutstanding app. Highly recommend. I use for paragliding, hunting, fishing and everything else. Top marks Windy!.Version: 37.2.4.23

Premium offer does not workApp is great! I thought I should support the developers because I use it all the time so I opted for the premium version. I would rate it 5 stars but for the problems I had activating the premium features. To activate the premium subscription one needs to login through the Windy app. However, I created my account years ago on the web, and the app did not recognize my login credentials so there was no way to “activate” my premium subscription. I tried numerous times using different paths, changing passwords, etc but could not get it to work. However, the next day I tried again and it was successful. I don’t know what happened, but I am happy with the app..Version: 28.1.1

Love this App. Lots of detailI highly recommend this App. My only wish is for it to be available on Apple TV..Version: 38.00004

One of the best weather apps, but have a recommendation.This is the main app I use to find weather info for not only my area, but globally. The only recommendation is to make the weather radar display different colors for different types of precipitation such as blue for snow and pink for freezing rain and ice pellets..Version: 37.2.5.27

Review for iPhone onlyI used to think that Windy for iPhone did not work, but I think that I was using it incorrectly, as I’m used to the iPad version, and the phone version is different. I’ve been using Windy for at least six months on the iPad and it works quite well. I now thin the iPhone version is quite good as well. I like that one swipes the calendar beneath the time widget, instead of trying to drag the widget as one must on the iPad. I’d suggest this feature migrate to iPad as well. The other thing I’d like to see is to have winds and gusts display together, or better yet, have all selected data types display at once. Windy is a fine app..Version: 16.04

No more useless weather appsThis weather app is extremely accurate. It allows you to read the ozone layers, wind gusts, rain accumulation, and more. When there’s lightening, it vibrates your phone at every strike all over the world. It shows all the hurricanes circling up in swirls, where condensation gathers, and so much more. You won’t miss out on any type of weathers on this app. If you know how to read the wind, you’ll learn to pinpoint where tornadoes can occur, when funnels disappears, and reform elsewhere. This app is highly recommended, and I had my wife, my mother, and other people download the app. I taught them how to use, read, and pinpoint. Thank you for creating this app. We praise the team who created Windy..Version: 27.1.2

Wild WindyGroundbreaking modelling. Accuracy is next level. Aesthetically pleasing to the neurones. Set a benchmark with forecasting that none of the surf forecasting providers have been able to keep up with. Different stratosphere. Always proof read my surf predictions with the graphics on windy before planning a day on the ocean. Blessings.Version: 35.3.4

Love itAwesome there’s so much information for such a variety of applications. I’ve been toying with this for a while and I’m still finding stuff. I only wish there was more hints on what is available.Version: 22.03

Windy AppI really love this app. The forecast accuracy is spot on. I use it for marine application (route planning) and one suggestion I would have it the option to make a route using rhumb line..Version: 38.10520

Best weather app ever!Wow what an awesome app I highly recommend it to everyone you can look at when storms etc will hit your location and can see in advance over the few days ahead too. Do yourself a favour and download the app..Version: 17.03

Working again!I had deleted and reinstalled x 2 but without success. At last it's working well again - the most accurate forecast app! 5 stars Previous: I use this app regularly, it's so accurate but since update it won't stay open on iPhone while iPad works ok. Fix?.Version: 19.1405

Best weather site/AppI would thoroughly recommend swapping your usual App for this one. My husband has subscribed so has even greater access which provides hourly detail. We use it mainly to map the weather so we can plan our work and leisure activities and for hanging out washing, but it details other factors such as wind/gust speed, humidity, wave strength/dynamics and cloud cover which are essential for more weather sensitive activities. It is generally pretty accurate in its forecasts so our first choice for making plans..Version: 34.3.2

Accurate and politeIt’s the most accurate weather app I’ve used and it provides the longest forecast and when it asked me to rate it, it said “would you mind” rating Windy - for reasons unknown to me I really appreciated that..Version: 25.4.5

Better forecast accuracyI find Windy to be more accurate in my Melbourne area than Willy Weather. I conduct several checks on different apps and internet before deciding to go fishing and boating, but Windy is generally more correct than anything else 👍👍.Version: 34.3.2

Getting the Big PictureI use a range of specialist weather tools and cross reference data between the sources; I find that Windy is great for looking at some historic data, current conditions and predictions up to several days ahead. I use Windy every day..Version: 22.03

Wind updates are really helpful!!!Knowing when wind gust is useful. Radar is great as well. Thanks..Version: 38.01049

App ProblemsHi Windy! Love the app but did the latest update and all I see is rainbow colours going down the screen. I’ve deleted and reinstalled the app and it hasn’t helped. I run the latest iso and latest update for you. Please help!.Version: 29.2.4

SuperbWhat an amazing and detailed app. So easy to see the whole picture of the UK and beyond and really easy to zoom into a specific area whilst still being able to see the surrounding areas. This is second to none..Version: 34.3.2

Comprehensive global weather vizualizationWindy T gives you a view of the weather situation world wide with the ability to pan and zoom right to your neighborhood. Multiple layers of information can be superimposed not only for every aspect of conditions in real time motion, but specifics for activities such as flying, skiing ,sailing etc..You can run forward 10 days to see the future situation. Living in a hurricane zone I can follow any sytem as it approaches and recently the ECMWF model you can use has been uncannily accurate. There is too much to this app to describe here. Try it..Version: 18.0203

WeatherAbsolutely Fantastic app to see the weather predictions well in advance 😃.Version: 33.1.1.8

Well doneI’ve been looking for a long time for an app with this much functionality, as well-designed, and with as active community engagement. And, at the moment, it’s free, and with no ads. If you find it as useful as I do, however, the subscription is very reasonable compared to the couple of other “professional” services I have seen. I happily signed up. These people are obviously focused on providing the best and most usable data and visualization possible. I’ve seen too many really good starts go down the drain when someone corporate comes along with better ideas for monetization that ends up killing the thing (I’m looking at you, Storm). I tip my hat to the Windy team..Version: 27.1.2

Outstanding!Incredibly entertaining, informative, and exciting app to use. With so many features I often lose track of time just playing around with this app! And the traffic cameras are awesome!!.Version: 37.2.5.24

What I call a very handy and accurate appThis is usually quite a accurate weather map.Version: 29.2.7

World ClassHas to be my favorite app. Just keeps getting better and better. All other weather sites are playing catch up to Windy. Keep up the great work..Version: 29.2.7

GoodishAlthough I like the app they need to implement Apple standard to sign up so I can use hide my email..Version: 30.102

The best weather app out thereI was a huge fan of Storm from WeatherUnderground and hadn't checked out the other options recently, but when The Weather Channel killed Storm and replaced it with a mediocre weather channel version I had a look at the other options and was very happy to find Windy. It's so much much better than the others, let me count (a few of) the ways: You can pick your forecast model! And then compare the different models to see where they differ! That to me is a game changer. The timeline along the bottom is so great to see how pressure and fronts will move - I feel like I've learned a lot just by using the app. The many layer options are great - set it for what you want to see and don't be distracted by what you don't. And of course the wind animation options make for a visually appealing interface. Seeing how the different altitude winds are moving and changing is so useful and interesting. I'd gladly pay money for this app, there are just so many great things to say about it. And if all you want is a sun, a cloud, or an umbrella for where you live that's there for you too. I was bummed when Storm was killed off but am so happy to have found this great app..Version: 16.04

Best weather app available compared to all the othersIt takes a little bit to understand all the features but it is the best weather app available. It has way more features than the other apps. I am in agriculture so I check the weather everyday. I have used lots of other apps and this has been the best one. I like the ability to compare the different forecast methods. It allows me to find the middle ground and is extremely accurate. Take the time to learn it and you won’t be sorry..Version: 24.0.4

InvaluableI write a weather blog on Facebook for my rural community in North Carolina, building local forecasts and discussions Originally from the US high plains of eastern Colorado, being weather aware could be a matter of life and death due to severe storms in summer, blizzards in winter, so I’ve been a meteorology enthusiast and studier since a young kid. Getting the model output of the NAM / ECMF & GFS has, until this app, required finding obscure university / government websites -relying on upkeep and maintenance of these pages - and none of these were practical over mobile The only things I could think of to improve the app are NOAA / Met Office warning polygons on the radar view, the inclusion of the US RAP Rapid Refresh model and theta-e (equivalent potential temperature) maps But these are minor quibbles on an otherwise highly sophisticated and immensely useful weather app Highly recommend for meteorologists, weather enthusiasts or people who want weather model data at their fingertips.Version: 26.1.4

Good weather tool for sailingWindy seems to be getting better over time too. Keep up the good work and please keep it free!.Version: 18.0203

ComprehensiveThis weather app is by far the most creative and comprehensive view of weather I’ve ever seen. As an outdoor person and one who gets out on the waters in our boat, the info can be tailored to cover just about any circumstance: example, wind speed and direction relative to Lows and Highs, relationship of wave actions to swells, and active tide/current data. There just is no other app that I know of that is so comprehensive, and I have yet to utilize all the features, like cloud formations at different altitudes. Keep up the good work! So many great apps “get better” and lose their utility...please,please, maintain your integrity!.Version: 24.0.4

New features, quick to load and good UIHaving everything on a map overlay with features, that you didn’t even know you needed till now, is brilliant. Far better data visualisation than those ‘news’ websites you find at the top of the App Store. Great for anyone who works outdoors or at altitude..Version: 17.0202

The best weather app by far!Thank you to the producers of this amazing weather app, it has to be the best and most informative app that I have ever used. I am still learning how to use it day by day, And I still keep finding stuff every time I use it... just watching wind, lightning and thunder and rain layers fascinates me to no end, thanks again....Version: 17.0202

Cpt. Deniz AygünI am using this app for my private flight. It gives me excellent weather visualisation and all other information just with one click. I would recommend anybody, specially to private pilots as extra brain storming tool..Version: 17.03

Best app out thereThe thing I love most about this app is that so many features are free! Keep up the great work and you will get very far. The companies that offer the customers the best things always go the furthest! Thanks for this amazing app!.Version: 37.2.2.12

Best weather app everHonestly I never review apps, because at best most are simply acceptable for their designed purpose. This app, however, is worth mentioning, in that it is easily the most comprehensive (not to mention accurate) weather resource you can put on your phone, with a super intuitive interface, and greater functionality in the free version than you can get in all other paid weather apps I’m aware of. Furthermore, and almost most importantly to me, this app is basically ad-free, and doesn’t bloat up your phone with unnecessary and invasive adware the way most others do. Simply put, this app is exceptional, fantastic on all levels, and something that I will eventually pay for simply to support. Kudos and thanks to Ivo & the team for making this app a reality. Weather geeks (professional or otherwise,) do yourself a favor and download this one. It’s really a beautiful thing..Version: 33.1.1.5

Realtime Wind !Accurate forecasts for wherever, updated most frequently, presented beautifully, scalable coast, country, continent. Real time wind comparable with forecast is magic ! Thanks John.Version: 35.3.4

Best weather / global webcam / earth in real-time appThis app is the best I’ve got for viewing the weather in real-time and for forecasts as well as providing an extensive selection of real time global webcams that proves the forecast it provides. This app is very responsive with a wide range of weather layers to choose from. I use this app for real-time weather associated with the incredible selection of webcams…. Please keep up the good work and look forward to seeing if this site/app ends up in VR /AR one day…….Version: 35.3.1

Storm RecoverySince the Weather Channel ruined the Storm app, I turned to Windy to get the wind animation and multi-city forecasts that I was accustomed to. Windy provides all that I seek in a weather app, and more. It did take time to find things, and my iPad version still will only show 3 overlay options, but lots of other display choices I do not care about and did not select in the same column of choices. Once I (accidentally) found the meteograms I am fascinated, but wish there was some place to learn what the detailed meaning. I also wish that front symbols would be able to display with temperatures, wind, or rain. I find the thunderstorm info distracting and wish I could turn it off..Version: 15.15

A “must-have “ appIf you make any form of journey by boat, this app is an absolute must have. The level of information available is very comprehensive, and most importantly, accurate. I have used the app in conjunction with the weather forecast to inform my decision as skipper whether to sail or not. The ability to zoom in and see really quite specific areas in detail is invaluable. The app is easy to use, with very clear graphics. Couldn’t recommend it more..Version: 18.0203

ImpressiveSo much information from one app, its great. I cannot confirm how accurate the information is but I have to believe accuracy was part of the design requirements - the apps functionality and level of detail “speaks” quality..Version: 39.010235

Windy reviewA co-worker told me about this and I didn’t really know at the time just how much it would come to serve me until I started being invited to go fishing with a friend. We loaded the app and now we don’t leave without paying close attention prior to the day we intend to fish. We fish the Pacific Ocean in the Straight of Georgia near Vancouver British Columbia. We love to fish but who needs to deal with choppy conditions and sea sickness. The app has been basically accurate however just like the weather here forecasts certainly do change which is why we pay close attention to the windy app. Get it and enjoy your days on the water. Yours truly I Blow.Version: 38.01006

Top app of all timesThis is getting better and better. I did ask if local weather warnings (for Australia) can be added, but I realise it would be monumental task getting every weather service in the world provide same level of detail. Apart from that, by far, this is one of the all time top apps ever created. The magnitude (global), the detail, the reliability exceeds every expectation. Thank you..Version: 20.201

As a sailor this is my favorite weather app.We have been sailing around the world for the last 18 months and this is the first app I will use to check the weather as it’s the easiest way to visualise what the weather is doing. I also use it to quickly work out the distance to our next destination. I have to use another app when we are doing long passages as Windy doesn’t work if you lose your internet connection, but otherwise it’s first class..Version: 20.201

The most complete weather appBy far the most complete weather app on the market. From filters to webcams of various locations you can get a pretty god sense of the weather no matter the requirement. One small think that could be included are moon phases and tidal data..Version: 22.03

Awesome... mesmerizing.Easily one of the very slickest weather app out there. Nice work team!!!.Version: 12.14
