  1. 1/5Company dedicated to failure

    PredictWind keeps making promises but they cause more problems than they can fix. Even their support bot is broken so I couldn’t get past entering my email address. The warning messages are completely covered up by the date on iPhone so the app is useless. Just like everything else they have done, broken by design and unlikely to be fixed anytime soon.

  2. 1/5Not worthy of PredictWind

    PrefictWind’s service, at its core, is great, but their apps are not. (Why do we need separate apps for current, rain, and offshore use anyway???) The offshore app is the worst of them all. It’s only needed for those who are offshore without Starlink. PredictWind apparently thinks, not entirely unreasonably, that adoption of satellite broadband is becoming so widespread that an app for Iridium users just isn’t needed. They seem to have given up on improving this clunky, buggy, incredibly user-unfriendly app. Beware though: if you’re still relying on iridium offshore, even as a backup, you’ll need this app and you’ll be disappointed. Biggest gripe: If you need to make manual additions to your GPS tracking page for any reason, the only way to do it is with this app. The process is painful and buggy.

  3. 2/5PredictWind should be ashamed

    I cruise full time, and find the PredictWind service indispensable. But this app is utterly terrible. It feels like PW abandoned development on it years ago. The interface is kludgy and counterintuitive (still, even though I've had 5 years to get used to it). You can't even do simple things like display wave heights in feet (default is meters, and it can't be changed)... or enable/disable individual weather models for routing. I never want to see UKMO, PWE, or PWG...but they cannot be turned off, and they clutter up and make the graphs confusing, and make the tables needlessly tedious to navigate. If you choose a model to display on the map (say GFS) and then re-run the route, it defaults back to PWG every time. This is all just amateurish, lazy programming. I expect better when I pay for an expensive service (I'm a pro level subscriber).

  4. 2/5Surprisingly bad

    Given how good PredictWind generally is I’m continually annoyed with how clunky this app is. Not sure why you can’t jus cache downloaded GRIBs in the main PredictWind app, but when you do it on here there are all sorts of weird bugs: models not showing up even when you downloaded them, the frame of view constantly resetting when you switch between routes in weather planning mode, model-selection toggle disappearing from the weather routing view, segments of the grib never being available (e.g. PWG 50km wave and satellite imagery never download no matter how long I let them go). I wish they would just integrate offline functionality into the main PW app so we could use the better UI there.

  5. 3/5Doesn't work on the iPod

    Great app in combination with an IridiumGo on iPhone and iPad. For some reason doesn’t work on my iPod Touch. I have reported this to Iridium but it's been months now. Should be an easy bug to fix, no reason for it not to work on the iPod Touch.
