This is a SCAM

This App doesn’t work, as a trial the application refuses to be cancelled and bills you anyway after it acknowledges the cancel. The weather models are available online and don’t offer anything useful. Don’t buy this.

20 questions just to see the weather

I didn’t get into the app, there are FAR too many questions just to get in.

Hello! Thank you for your opinion. Windy.app is specially designed for sports and outdoor activities. There are many parameters in the app, and survey at the first launch is necessary to adapt the forecast to your needs. Please contact us at windy@windyapp.co if you have further comments or questions!

Not worth the money

Checked the windy app at 9pm for 6am the next day. The app said 50km/h winds on my lake with 60km gusts. Next day I went out at 6am and the lake was dead calm. Not even a breeze. I’m not paying for an app that is so inaccurate.

Paid for the lifetime but not impressed

I got this app hoping that the upgraded lifetime and enhanced features would truly unlock the potential of this app, however, it did not. In addition, I’m still getting advertisements from Windy itself trying to sell me cheap water bottles and hoodies for outrageous prices. You can’t even do something as simple as have precipitation overlay in a loop so that you can see the path previously taken, unless you manually do it yourself tapping on each hour. the price of this app and the features you get in my opinion or not worth the money. I requested a refund but was denied by Apple. Oh well, I just paid $150 for an app that I’ll never use.

Previous version was better

This used to be my favourite weather app. The new version is much harder to navigate and to customize and the maps are too busy with info you haven’t asked for (eg where weather stations are located) to be readable. So disappointed.

OK but…

I’m a novice with weather data… it’s early days to see if this will work for me. Feedback: 1/ I tried to set up customizations with the tidal data on it. But when checked, unfortunately the tide chart does not show up. I am using MLLW. Is this being addressed or is something not set up right? 2/ very difficult to find any useful help. The app support page here really provides nothing. No real glossary I can find. 3/ when I signed up, I wanted the 7 day trial, but the price was much higher than the yearly rate. For most apps, you get the trial then you go onto the subscription if you keep it. I feel it was a little deceptive. I also found that if you look on subscription detail, you have dozens of prices listed for the pro version, so I’m a little skeptical now that this isn’t a well-oiled app. The app somehow has 71K ratings? That’s frankly what sold me. But maybe those ratings are very old… I hope you are listening.

Complicated and add heavy

Bad user interface makes this hard to use. Bloated with ads that make it almost impossible to navigate.
Try the other one!

Overpriced and spams to subscribe

There are free apps like windy.com which provide what I was looking for from this app. There is no tiered subscription to provide basic weather functionality for boaters, and the standard subscription is hundreds of dollars. The app then spams your notifications trying to get you to subscribe. It isn’t quite malware, but stay away unless you specifically need things not available in free solutions.
