Beware, we had our asses handed to us twice in less than a year! ### 5/5 — What is the PredictWind forecast? *2026-05-22, version 6.3.1* For more than 10 years, wither on a boat cruising somewhere I have never been before or traveling to wherever… I always compare locally sourced weather to what is forecast on PredictWind. As both a lifetime boater and career pilot, I have never made my go/nogo decisions by just looking at “one gauge”. PredictWind, with its multi-model forecasts, has has given me all the information that I need to allow me to make my own decisions with confidence because I have looked at “all of the gushes”…. ### 5/5 — Marine Weather Prediction *2026-05-21, version 6.3.1* Essential marine weather app ### 5/5 — Love this app. *2026-05-20, version 6.3.1* Been using this app for years, wind direction and strength is critical to know when duck hunting or fishing and this helps me plan where I can go. Let me down less than a handful of times but is 99% accurate for me in central NY. ### 5/5 — Chardie *2026-05-13, version 6.3.1* Always a go to always accurate ### 5/5 — Outstanding Performance *2026-05-12, version 6.3.1* Love the app so much Thanks to the developers 🙏🏻 ### 5/5 — Fantastic Weather App *2026-05-03, version 6.3.1* Great app, great support. ### 5/5 — Retired VP of global auto parts manufacturer *2026-05-02, version 6.3.1* The best tool on our boat for yacht racing. Very accurate and after years of use I depend on the information above ALL other forecasts we here, Thank You ### 4/5 — Good app *2026-05-01, version 6.3.1* Happy now I have sorted the problem. ### 5/5 — Go to *2026-04-30, version 6.3.1* Excellent software and cutting edge weather information ### 5/5 — 5 stars *2026-04-19, version 6.3.1* Have been using this for years, it’s the best one out there that I’ve found ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Can’t close their persistent ad *2026-08-23, version 6.5.1* Can’t close their persistent ad to subscribe since it’s not formatted on screen correctly. Can’t see the X to cancel. Programmers need some formatting lessons before releasing code into the wild. ### 1/5 — Gleich mal Daten abfragen *2026-07-02* Eine App, die bevor sie irgendwas tut, erstmal meine Daten will, fliegt gleixh wieder runter. **Developer response:** Wir bieten standortbasierte Wettervorhersagen und liefern daher präzise und zuverlässige Prognosen basierend auf Ihrem ausgewählten Standort.

This sucks I just wasted $250 on the damn app. ### 1/5 — Can’t even try it *2026-06-10, version 6.4.1* Nothing but errors. ### 1/5 — Weather routing most important never worked *2026-05-12, version 6.3.1* I paid for a month subscription to try it before subscribing for a full year. Watching projected weather patterns is cool but missed the part I wanted most. ### 1/5 — Not working *2026-05-04, version 6.3.1* I am trying my 7 day subscription and not a single thing on the app works. I can’t even cancel it, wonder if I will still be charged once the 7 day trial is over since I can’t cancel it. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2026-04-20, version 6.3.1* I have been using this app for many years just to track son occasionally and just when I really needed additional information, I paid for a subscription but the app never updated. ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-04-13, version 6.3.1* Absolute scam. Just downloaded this so called AI Weather Forecast app from the App Store and it immediately forces you to sign in with an email address before letting you see even a single forecast. What a joke. A normal weather app does not need your email. This is clearly just another shady app designed to harvest your personal information. They hide behind AI buzzwords to trick people into handing over their data. Looks like this app is another scam app to make you sign in and grab your info. Be aware of scam. Do not download or sign up. Deleting immediately. Total waste of time. Avoid at all costs. ### 1/5 — User Account Required *2026-04-12, version 6.3.1* No trial. User account required. I would have liked to try the app and then select an in-app purchase. Too many bad apples in the App Store. I’d prefer not to keep giving out my details. ### 1/5 — No Back button stuck in settings. *2026-02-06, version 6.0.4* Had to reinstall the app. Then went again on settings (billing) and no way to go back ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Main weather tool *2026-08-30, version 6.5.1* I use this app several times each day. I like the different displays and graphics. The daily briefing feature is also very useful. ### 5/5 — Very accurate *2026-08-30, version 6.5.1* Use the app to plan work and family events has been an invaluable guide ### 5/5 — Very useful *2026-08-23, version 6.5.1* Not inexpensive, but this app has proven invaluable on a handful of occasions - both inshore and offshore. A happy user for more than a decade, PredictWind has improved almost beyond recognition in the best way possible. ### 5/5 — Essential *2026-08-19, version 6.5.1* My go to for passage planning. It’s fabulous ### 5/5 — Perfect *2026-07-28, version 6.4.4* This is More important than my phone. Surprisingly accurate. ### 5/5 — The best weather app *2026-07-22, version 6.4.4* My go to weather app with all the useful features you need like a good weather stations. Tide models and lots of different forecasting models and displays so you can easily get all the info you need. ### 5/5 — Pre departure *2026-07-05, version 6.4.2* First app I checked before I make plans ### 5/5 — Excellent application *2026-06-28, version 6.4.2* I really enjoy looking at he available information for any weather related matters and comparing forecasts between the various met offices around the world ### 5/5 — Great app!! *2026-06-14, version 6.4.1* I use this app almost everyday. It’s great! ### 5/5 — The Best There Is *2026-06-11, version 6.4.1* I’ve been using three different forecasting apps (the obvious ones) for about 18 months now. In my opinion PredictWind is clearly emerging as the leader in this space. Fantastic data, great interface, loads of information and superb customer support. They are constantly refining the app, not just adding stuff for the sake of it, but improving it all the time. Awesome. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
