Very good app with enough features for ordinary users.

Company dedicated to failure

PredictWind keeps making promises but they cause more problems than they can fix. Even their support bot is broken so I couldnโ€™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.

Not user-friendly at all!

On install it says โ€˜GRIB is 1953 dats oldโ€™, and it is impossible to figure out what to do next! What is a GRIB anyway?!

Wonโ€™t update maps

Super expensive, wonโ€™t update any maps with a basic subscription

Rated by mistake but canโ€™t remove it.

Rated by mistake but I canโ€™t remove it. So since I am forced to write a review, here is my one star for being so insanely expensive.

Good system.

I really like the interface and the ability to see the results of the various algorithms so you can average the results for yourself. I would really like it to be able to download information through Garmin InReach like it does through Iridium Go. The next logical step is for total integration with Garmin ( or other similar) MFDs so the PredictWind app sits on the MFD.

Great app and love the new update

Easy to use and straight forward got to be the best routing app on the market. Now the offshore app has the ability to view UKMO forecasts too. My app of choice even if its just for a checking the forecast and not needing to route. That way you get used to using it. Quite like the ability to view GMDSS area forecasts too thats handy for information

Now useless for land applications.

Old app offered land surfaces in full color topographic format. A great resource for off grid land explorers. Newer downgraded version shows all land surfaces in blue color, making it impossible to easily locate terrain features. Obviously, PredictWind no longer cares about serving land exploration users. Too bad.

Must have a subscription to do anything

There is no way to try the app and evaluate it without a subscription.

Really cool platform for offshore when paired with iridium Go

So far, so good.
