Surprisingly 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.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. We're actively working on a new version that will resolve these issues and it will be released in the coming weeks. For any specific concerns, please reach out to support@predictwind.com, and we'll be glad to assist you.

Complete Fail

It’s amazing that Predict Wind allows this awful app given the Predict Wind app works so well and smoothly if you have either cell or internet service. There are many reviews here listing the problems in that it is slow and wonky, counter intuitive, confusing, etc. and this is amazing considering how easy the sibling app is to use. What is WRONG with you Predict Wind??? You have customers paying LOTS of money to subscribe and you give us this train wreck of an app. And please don’t respond with contact our customer support bot for a hug! Fix this damn thing! This is not only frustrating but it is dangerous.

PredictWind 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).

We want to assist you to get the best out the Offshore App and PredictWind app, it seems like you are having a few issues, please come into support@predictwind.com so we can assist you to get the Offshore App working like you want it too. We are also about to release a new and improved version.

Not 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.

Hi Robert, thanks for getting in touch. I'm not sure what's going wrong for you, but please get in touch with us at support@predictwind.com. If there's a bug, we'll sort it out. A new version is due out soon. The Offshore App is a critical tool for offshore sailors with Iridium devices. It has everything you need for safe routing.

Very good app with enough features for ordinary users.
