Awful forecast. Currently says gusts of 16 possible. Actual gusts in the 50’s and 60’s ### 3/5 — Great job with this app! *2023-12-07, version 1.9* Awesome ! This app is very accurate and easy to use. Lots of information on everywhere I go whether it’s in the mountains or on the ocean. I rely on it for a good idea what to expect while I’m out in the elements. Makes planning my day easier and I’m always ready for whatever is forecasted. Really impressed on the accuracy of the forecasts . ### 3/5 — By far, the best wind app, but missing one thing… *2021-05-16, version 1.2.9* I love this app. If you need to know the hourly forecast for a location, this is amazing. This update adds exactly what we need, widgets! However, it doesn’t show what we need. I want to be able to see the hourly forecast for a certain location on the map. It already allows me to save a location, we just want to see the hourly forecast itself on a widget. Please please please consider this! ### 5/5 — Best wind app. *2021-01-20, version 1.2.5* Love your app!!! I use it everyday to check the wind in my area so I’ll know if I should put my outdoor umbrellas up. Before I got your app... I snapped three $100+ umbrellas using google weather app. Thank you for your hourly wind report. ### 5/5 — Very accurate *2020-12-27, version 1.2.4* Very good and accurate app. For the hourly, one issue is that when I scroll to the right, the titles in the left scroll off the screen and it becomes hard to remember which one was which I.e. which one was wind, which one was wind gusts, which one was humidity etc. Would be helpful if the titles could stay on the screen as one scrolls right or down. ### 5/5 — Great app for winds and rain *2020-12-12, version 1.2.4* I have tried several apps for wind speed and direction but this is the easiest one to use and read. I often go kayak fishing in W Galveston bay and I always check this app before leaving the house. The hourly forecast is so nice and easy to read. ### 5/5 — Self *2020-12-07, version 1.2.4* I socialize and exercise outdoors more now because of COVID and it is very helpful to anticipate the wind. ### 5/5 — Favorite weather app *2020-12-03, version 1.2.4* Out of all the weather apps put there, this one is most accurate I have ever used! I can plan with certainty trips and adventures. This app is simply awesome! ### 5/5 — Pretty Amazing *2020-09-30, version 1.2.3* This app provides a mind boggling, and yet incredibly useful, amount of information. Makes most typical weather apps feel like they are in kindergarten. ### 5/5 — Very accurate *2020-09-11, version 1.2.1* I plan my fishing days with this app and I greatly rely on it. The accuracy is outstanding. Thank you. ### 5/5 — My go to all weather app *2020-08-14, version 1.2.1* I originally got this for the wind forecasts and current wind gusts. When they offered to update to include all the information it gives, I purchased the upgrade. Now, this is my go to for all weather information, one of the best out there for what it does. **Developer response:** Thank you for the review! ### 2/5 — Almost Crap *2020-08-04, version 1.2.1* Where are the wind speeds and directions on an hourly and weekly basis? The title does not match the presentation. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Gone with the wind *2024-07-05, version 1.16* I deleted this app. As a pilot, I get better info about wind speeds and forecasts using various aviation apps. Wind Speed app is a frustration trying to navigate its overly complicated features, this app is history, deleted and GONE WITH THE WIND. ### 1/5 — Not accurate *2023-07-14, version 1.9* This app was not accurate on Resurrection Bay Alaska. ### 1/5 — Beware *2022-02-12, version 1.2.13* I installed this app. Walked away. Came back unlocked my phone and I had an app called “Sasquatch” installed. I did not install that app. It is not in my list of apps I’ve purchased. I immediately deleted both. Install at your own risk. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2022-01-31, version 1.2.13* The hourly forecast doesn’t work anymore. I deleted the app ### 1/5 — Exasperatingly slow with what is accessible. *2021-07-18, version 1.2.11* Useless app with what comes with the free version. I am on 1 gig service using the 5th generation ipad and I could never get any of the layers to come in less than 60 minutes of time even using the hints provided within the app. Can’t get any other graphics other than provided with the map layers of which really isn’t of any use if you need updated weather in a timely manner. Waiting 60 seconds for radar is insane when you can get instant radar in an app called MY Radar with much better resolution and lightning data. Get an app called Windy for wind data, or weather bug for better graphics and better performance. ### 1/5 — Needs an update *2020-11-23, version 1.2.3* App crashes when trying to add a spot to favorites ### 1/5 — Useless *2020-11-08, version 1.2.3* Unless you purchase the pro version you’ll get a lesser forecast than you can find anywhere. ### 1/5 — Terrible and Useless! *2020-10-09, version 1.2.3* Opens with a map of the US. You need to zoom in on the area you want wind speed for, then click “show nearby stations”, which does nothing! Just experimenting with it, then tells me I need a PRO subscription. Subscription for a tool (wind speed) most every all-in-one (some free) weather app gives us by default? Forget it! Absolutely the worst UI just to get wind speed in my area that I’ve ever seen! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work *2020-06-20, version 1.1.2* Sounded like a great app, but you can’t select a station and the map feature is a maze of blocks and useless. ### 1/5 — Only works in the US *2020-02-25, version 1.0.10* Who lives in the US? What about the Caribbean ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great weather app *2026-01-16, version 1.24* Owned this app for several years now, love the NWS forecasts, the weather models, great support also if you need it. ### 5/5 — Best Weather App *2022-12-10, version 1.5* Thank you for creating a very functional and accurate app and making it available without requiring subscription. This app is more facile and practical than the others that do require subscription. Very impressive! Thank you 👍 ### 5/5 — Wind Speed *2021-07-04, version 1.2.9* Awesome app! ### 5/5 — Fishing *2021-06-08, version 1.2.9* Love this app I will be using it everyday ### 5/5 — Great app *2021-06-08, version 1.2.9* This app cuts through useless information and gets you directly to the information you need when going offshore! I would highly recommend it. ### 5/5 — Great app 5/5/21 *2021-05-05, version 1.2.8* I am a weather nerd. I am a former sailor and I find the data to be accurate (even though I am land locked now). Lots of data packed into the app and easy to navigate. I use it now for days I want to fish. Also great when you live in a “fringe area” not really covered by your nearest local weather forecast ! ### 5/5 — Accurate *2021-04-22, version 1.2.8* And easy to use ### 5/5 — Tennis Coach *2021-03-13, version 1.2.5* Invaluable tool for predicting wind during matches. Nothing like it that I’ve found. General weather apps just not as detailed. ### 5/5 — Love this app *2021-02-16, version 1.2.5* I use Wind Speed to look up conditions on the SF Bay and elsewhere before rowing practices and regattas. It’s clear, easy to use, with fine-grained, pastel, color-coded hourly and daily wind speed and direction forecasts. It’s aesthetically rich with a zoomable world map and satellite imagery showing water depths and topography, along useful additional weather data and summary forecasts. The app is a joy to use. Makes getting up at 5am a little easier , especially if you add coffee. ### 5/5 — Indispensable *2021-02-10, version 1.2.5* For my outdoor activities, this app has become indispensable. Whether biking, hiking, or just plain hanging out, I check here first for easy to read, detailed weather information. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
