5/5A narrow-minded review for the rest of us...
This is a very narrow-minded review for those of us who are just weather junkies - we're not flying kites (at least not every day), sailing boats, or otherwise out playing in the wind. We just want the best weather info available, both forecasted and observed. I've got every remotely serious weather app in the app store and subscribe to the premium services of a couple dozen of them. There's only one thing (in my opinion) that this app does that other available apps don't do better (and it's the only one that has this feature at all): it allows you to stack the parameters of several different models for easy comparison. I've created a custom profile that lets me see the model parameters I'm interested in grouped together for easy comparison: temperature, precip, wind, etc. The other Windy app's maps are far better, LuckGrib is far better at displaying the models and ALL the parameters, etc. I could go on with this sort of comparison for pages, but this app is the only that has the killer feature of letting me position the data in a chart in the order I want it - for that reason alone, I pay the subscription. Their support is also first class and they listen to requests from their users. But the custom profile comparison capability is the reason this app has a place on my home screen, and the reason I think it deserves 5 stars in a very crowded category.

5/5TUNA FISHING
My name is Bill Maxwell I am the owner and operator of the sport fishing boat TunaFever. From April through November my 57 foot sport fish weather permitting seven days a week between 45 and 55 miles offshore. We operate out of the Oregon in Inlet fishing center located in Nagshead North Carolina on the outer banks. Most of our fishing is done on the western wall of the golf stream where it crosses the hundred fathom them curve. This app Windy is by far the most reliable source of information that I can use to determine whether I’m gonna have a safe day a beautiful day or whether I should go at all it’s an important factor on how I treat my people for my business because of the accuracy of this app. I’ve been in business for 34 years and looked at all kinds of things for information for safe passage in the ocean and yours is by far the best I recommend it to anyone and it is been my pleasure to use it thank you so much Captain Bill Maxwell !!!!

4/5Helpful for fieldwork
As a major marine biologist, it is very crucial for me to be able to ensure the safety of my team before we make our long voyage into the ocean… This app has been used by my coworkers/colleagues in order to see the latest forecasts and even possible navigation issues along our routes. I would recommend this app to anyone who is looking for a high quality app that gives in depth looks into the predicted weather patterns and wave lengths which are known to fluctuate daily. Now this app does have its ups and downs (as all apps nowadays do) and I would request that the prices of the premium coverage would be lowered. Also, for my coworker, she told me that her app was not working very well because of technical issues, of which included her app crashing when she tried to enter… how can I help her fix this? Back to the suggestions, could those who are not on the premium package PLEASE have access to more in depth coverage? My friend who owns a fishing business went out to catch blue marlins, came back with quite the story to tell about how his app had told him the waves would be high tide in his area, but resulted in actually being low tide… Blue marlins are very hard fish to catch and can be especially difficult to catch when the currents and waves are shifted. Once again, please consider this. I get y’all need to make money in order to keep your business running, but that is a very bad look. Not meaning that in a rude manner but really. Anyways, I personally have never experienced any major issues that have drastically affected my work or outlook on this app, so I can speak with truth when it comes to recommending this to the general public. The app can be a little difficult to interpret if not familiar with nautical terms but definitely is worth the admission. Thanks for keeping us updated, and keep working hard! Stay safe in these tough times! For the oceans, Dr. Sandy West PhD Marine Biologist Head Chief Scientist “For no ocean is deeper then the ones we carry.”

5/5Best app to track tides wind and moon phases
All in all it very detailed weather report can use gps on your phone to show your location and nearest locations multiple choices of weather data sources or I use the compare all models to get the best idea of what they are all saying. From the tide Time including showing the length of the moving tide and slack tides using graphs which is very accurate even in spots I wouldn’t assume it would be. The wind report is very helpful and using different reports can give you a good idea of future outlooks for the days you may call iffy but the standard showing of it is very accurate for immediate knowledge of the next 6-8 hrs for sure. The fishing reports seem to match with standard fish and moon tides but doesn’t give an updated report unless a user posts about it and fishing is usually a hush hush type of your spot found fish don’t tell anyone sport.

5/5Great App
This is a great app. The ability to compare different weather models on one screen is unique to all other weather apps. The info you can customize on your personal forecasts is great, too. I get just about everything I want, displayed in the order I want to read it. I even pay the annual subscription because I feel strongly enough that they have earned my business. I got so sick of Apple Weather and The Weather Channel predicting 0% chance of rain for a Saturday and then updating their forecasts when the rain hits (while I’m getting soaked). I do not miss those days. My only wish- a way to know the water temperature at each location. Maybe there is already a way to track this and I’ve not found it yet. Anyways, great work.
