SailFlow: Marine Forecasts for Negative User Reviews

✓ Very helpful aidWe have sailed in four separate locales: Lake Tahoe (home), Folsom lake, Bay Area and Catalina island since finding this app... We found it useful but it's accuracy is questionable both real time and planning our sailing adventures. Needs improvement as both the Bay Area and Folsom Lake yacht clubs we belong to have better links to real time data and 24-48 hr forecasts. We have kept this app as it’s another resource for comparison....SailingSunshine24Version: 2.93

✓ InaccurateThis is an app with many great features and a good user interface. It's also very expensive for the "premium" subscription. I used only the free version. During California's many winter storms of late 2022 and early 2023 this app was *highly* inaccurate in its wind predictions. It's a little hard to understand how an app that shows actual versus predicted wind could be so thoroughly and completely wrong so much of the time and show the errors on its default screens. Some days showed predicted wind under 4kts, but actual wind was over 16kts. Other days showed predicted 20kt winds, but actual wind was 3kts. I would hate to be relying on this app for my safety at sea. Both Windy and Saildrone provide similar functionality at a *much* lower subscription price. Both Windy and Saildrone appear to be far more accurate than Sailflow at predicting wind direction and velocity..KMignosaVersion: 5.15

✓ Not on a 6sGreat app. Unfortunately it stopped working on my iPhone 6s after the latest system update..PaulcalliopeVersion: 2.9

✓ Latest update -disastrousThis has gone from a very sweet weather app, great for sailors to a completely disfunctional lump - unusuable in iPad Pro. Multiple failures and even boots me out to the desktop. I have never seen anything so glitched released for use..Scoundrel 37Version: 3.12

✓ App is okay, iOS widget sucks and there is no support.I like the app, but the iOS widget shows weather more than 100 miles from where I am and, in another country. I've contacted help twice over several months over this, but get a form letter promising some future update. Disappointing that this app doesn't live up to its potential. ..Bean o RamaVersion: 2.82

✓ Free version okay, don’t pay for upgrade!Clunky and buggy but still has a wide range of stations and data beyond just wind speeds. However, none of the cool sounding features promised with the paid subscription actually work. Support is responsive and polite but unable to fix the issues. After the standard wipe and reinstall dance they’ve got nothing. Not clear what the money is for, but it doesn’t really get you anything the free version doesn’t already have. Edit: Free and broken is better than paying and broken but I don’t see how the dev response here has anything to do with the problems....ScuzzmonkeyVersion: 3.0

✓ Sail flowIm not sure why but it doesn’t seem to work for me like when i first got it do i need to pay a yearly fee or am i missing something?.Capt NorrisVersion: 2.9

✓ ForecastA bit confusing to set up or change something.SurfuzionVersion: 3.13

✓ Unable to use favorites listI used to love this app. However, it has become less user friendly over the years. Stations that have favorited no longer show up in my favorites list and every time I click on the station where I sail, I get a pop-up telling me to “favorite” the station… but I “favorited” it years ago, and last week, and again this week. After looking around the app to find my favorites again, I found them under the “Master Profile” option in the favorites tab. However, it is now an unusable menu because every time I click on a station, it asks me to upgrade my account or sign in. I am already signed in on the app with my free account. If I find the station I’m looking for on the map, I can still access the blend models of plus/pro stations. Why can’t I access these same pro/plus stations from my favorites list now with a free account?.MoomoodlesVersion: 5.26

✓ 14 day trial failing on question to upgradeI received a 14 day pro trial but the dialogue box asking to upgrade, Learn More or Cancel crashes the program. iPhone 8 Plus IOS 11.4.1.Zoid79Version: 3.0

✓ Won't open in my iOS 9First, after not using it for 6 months, it disappeared as an app from my phone. When I downloaded it from the cloud again, it only opens for 2 seconds, then disappears, reverting to the home screen. This happens each time I try to open it even after shutting the phone down and restarting. Deleted it and redownloaded-same thing. I don't want iOS 10 or 11 because I've got some old apps. It says it's supposed to work with 9 or higher..SauTagVersion: 2.92

✓ Please stop the promotional adsI am not interested in a subscription. Please stop the promotional pop-ups..PegasoneVersion: 3.0

✓ Poor design, not user friendlyI sail in the same place twice a week. Every time I open the app, I’m greeted with “invalid search “. Then I see the last location at the top of the screen and it won’t let me select it. So I type that into the search bar and it finds that location. I tap the star to add to favorites, but the next time I open the app, no favorites are found. Pretty worthless, imo. Besides, the forecast isn’t usually close to reality..Hate this app 99999Version: 3.0

✓ Testing the Forecasts for Accuracy; Graphics C-This app came highly recommended as I have Ben using another well known app for years with amazing easy to understand radar, wind flow patterns, real Earth Satellite imaging and more. The problem with the app that has, bar none, outstanding graphics is that forecasting accuracy lacks as they do not use local weather stations. Just wondering why someone hasn’t come along that will give us the best of all features. As it is, I will probably use the one feature if this app, and its most important: forecasting. I’ll make frequent comparisons to the app the amazing and intuitive graphics..ElletrueVersion: 3.18

✓ Pay for the privilege of seeing adsI’m somewhat disappointed in the fact that I have to pay for premium station but am still forced to see ads. Been a paid user for several years and am now seeing more and more adverts. Will consider dropping this and going to windy..SvsouthernstarVersion: 3.13

✓ Direction arrow is wrongIn general the app works well, but there’s a problem with the Observed wind direction shown on the Wind Graph page. It’s pointed in the right direction, but it’s labeled wrong!! It’s labeled in the key as “Direction From” when it’s actually the direction the wind is flowing to, not from. I’ve emailed the developers directly but they’ve never corrected it. I know it’s a small detail in an otherwise useful app, but it seems like an easy fix to remove any confusion..Truthteller863839Version: 5.25

✓ InaccurateJust got the snot beat out of us in our 40’ power boat when the forecast, which gives the illusion of accuracy due to the level of details, was out by about 10 kn. Wasn’t even close and I checked it again right before heading out. Delete!.VgftyubfVersion: 3.0

✓ SailFlowI have premium and this ap is great if you know the area you are in. It needs to show pinpointed locations on a map. If you are not familiar with an area and it’s streets you have no way of knowing if the weather and info that you wish to look at is close by. They really need to include location maps in reference to your location to see what is closest!.DaveL133Version: 5.08
