### 4/5 — Pretty good

*2026-09-02, version 7.11*

It’s works pretty well the future wind forecast is nice but it’s annoying you have to pay money to get all the wind stations.

### 4/5 — Nice App

*2026-08-17, version 7.10*

I use it primarily to determine how rough the water is. Works great to see rollers and how high they are.

### 2/5 — Capt Paul

*2026-07-21, version 7.08*

Nice

### 2/5 — Used to love SailFlow

*2026-07-13, version 7.08*

I have been a Plus user of SailFlow for several years and have grown to rely on its information, however, when it automatically renewed last week I could not access any of my favorites for Hampton Roads as it said I needed to Upgrade to access them. SailFlow, you have just lost a user.  I will be cancelling my subscription and moving to Windy.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2026-05-23, version 7.03*

Superior

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-05-17, version 7.0*

Very accurate and reliable app

### 5/5 — Very useful

Love this app

### 5/5 — Love SF

*2026-05-09, version 7.0*

Great app!

### 5/5 — My Go To Wind App

*2026-04-21, version 6.38*

I fish near shore in my bay boat.  I schedule my trips around info from this app.

### 3/5 — Decent app, but too expensive

*2026-04-13, version 6.38*

This would be a 5 Star review except for the Platinum level price. There is only one station on the platinum level I need and I can’t justify the price for a single weather station.

### 5/5 — Display

*2026-03-24, version 6.38*

I really like the graphic display and how much information is available. Nice job!

### 4/5 — Good local source

*2026-03-14, version 6.38*

Use it daily

### 5/5 — SailGP Race Conditions

*2026-02-28, version 6.38*

Nice way to see wind speeds for SailGP F50 catamaran races globally.

### 5/5 — I can’t love it more!

*2026-02-27, version 6.38*

This app is the best ever

### 1/5 — Less stations

*2026-08-15, version 7.10*

Been using sail flow for more than 15 years. Today I can no longer access any of the stations I always have without upgrading. Useless. Uninstalling. Way to go sail flow and put the screws to your most loyal users.

### 1/5 — Crashes constantly

*2026-07-01, version 7.05*

Current version of the app crashes whenever I go into the menu to change settings or preferences.

### 1/5 — Someone f-ed it up please fix it, use to work perfectly

*2026-06-11, version 7.05*

Someone updated it ? Fed it up, it worked perfectly for years why now?

### 1/5 — Upgrade is a fail

*2026-05-14, version 7.0*

The graphics are terrible and hard to see

### 1/5 — Sucks!!!

*2026-04-14, version 6.38*

I purchased the $49.00 a year and it turns out where I sail mission Bay in San Diego you need a Pro subscription?   Anyways a total waste of money.

### 1/5 — SailFlow

*2026-02-21, version 6.38*

Works great

### 1/5 — Diametrical apposed forcasts

*2025-09-16, version 6.29*

Diametrically apposed forcasts , almost 180 degrees incorrect in San Diego at times

### 1/5 — SailFlow Wind Forecasts Worthless for Lake Michigan/Chicago

*2025-08-11, version 6.27*

Typically the windspeed has been 10-15 kts higher than the SailFlow forecasts since at least early 2024, for Lake Michigan near Chicago e.g. the Harrison-Deaver GLERL buoy. One might think that the forecasts would be corrected after proving worng, but not so: The low forecast vs. high actual windspeed often persists for days on end. I have set a reminder to cancel my subscription before it renews again.

### 1/5 — Reset password does not

*2025-06-16, version 6.24*

For $22/mo this app should work better. I recommend staying away from this app.

### 1/5 — Often does not load so is unusable when that occurs

*2025-05-06, version 6.23*

When clicking the SailFlow icon on iOS the app often attempts to load and then cuts out returning the user to the icon.  Not sure why this occurs but it is very annoying

### 5/5 — Cannot access

*2026-08-31, version 7.11*

The weather app does not populate.  All that I see are settings to upgrade.  I upgraded and still no app function.  I have since discontinued my subscription out of frustration with Sail Flow!

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2026-08-27, version 7.11*

I’ve used it for a couple or three weeks and it is pretty accurate also it updates hourly so between times it is often constantly changing and updating.
One of their stations is close by and it’s a marine one. So it has been pretty accurate for us!

### 5/5 — Great Wx app

*2026-08-24, version 7.11*

My favorite!

### 5/5 — Wind

*2026-08-05, version 7.09*

Better than general forecasts

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-07-17, version 7.08*

Great resources with diverse model sources. The support is legitimately helpful. They are responsive and truly consider my suggested updates/fixes to problems.

### 5/5 — Good

*2026-07-13, version 7.08*

I love that you can see all the tide charts and all of the data for free

### 5/5 — kayakers🫶🏼

*2026-06-26, version 7.05*

We luv kayaking on the Colorado River, with SailFlow we always know what to expect.  We share with our adult kids when we’re on the water!!

### 5/5 — Outdoor guy

*2026-06-19, version 7.05*

One of the best weather apps I have, and most accurate! Get this!

### 5/5 — Review

*2026-06-08, version 7.05*

I have used Sailflow from Florida to the coast of Nicaragura and found it to be very reliable and easy to understand I have recommended it to many people in Nica as it is the best for that area
I am a commercial fisherman in BC Canada and use it here also

### 5/5 — Wind

*2026-05-31, version 7.03*

And rain
