It’s almost useless. It’s either right or totally wrong. That doesn’t help at all when you have to plan travel on the water. ### 2/5 — Not accurate *2026-07-27, version 5.40.1* Often find the wind speeds not accurate at all. ### 2/5 — No tide info? *2026-06-26, version 5.40.1* “Tides” is the first word in the description here in the App Store but nowhere in the app could I find tide information for my location. If there’s some trick to finding it or if it’s only available for certain places then just say that upfront. ### 2/5 — Grueling *2026-05-25, version 5.40.0* I got the wrong app because I just wanted wind and temperature high and low. It doesn’t give that. But Lord Almighty this is the most poorly designed app I’ve ever seen. It is grueling to use. ### 5/5 — Good App *2026-03-17, version 5.39.0* I like app very useful ### 5/5 — Imbatível *2026-03-15* Excelente aplicativo, fácil de entender e muito fidedigno. ### 5/5 — Go to for conditions *2026-03-14, version 5.39.0* This app is a MUST when going out ### 5/5 — Day s of wind *2026-03-11, version 5.39.0* Windfinder is accurate to the tea it helps my business every day ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-03-11, version 5.39.0* Great app and easy to use. ### 5/5 — Review *2026-03-06, version 5.39.0* One of my best weather app ### 5/5 — Súper *2026-03-03, version 5.39.0* Muy buena ### 5/5 — Friend *2026-02-19, version 5.38.2* good info ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-02-12, version 5.38.2* Hands down the best weather app for offshore fishing. If windfinder says no we don’t go. ### 5/5 — Dependable For Sure *2026-02-05, version 5.38.2* The Windfinder app is an essential part of our boating life. No matter if we are heading inshore or offshore for fishing or planning a cruise, we depend on its accuracy! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Garbage *2026-08-26, version 5.41.2* veoma loša i neprecizna app nemada pokazube da su talasi 0.1 a kad odete na jezero tamo 2.5ft dosada me koštala min 150$ za gorivo jer sam joj verovao ### 1/5 — Unreliable *2026-08-15, version 5.41.1* Forecast and super forecast are vastly different making the app completely reliable. Uninstalling ### 1/5 — Garbage *2026-08-01, version 5.41.0* This app is absolute garbage. It says it’s gonna be no waves. The waves are so big that I literally can barely even ride my full-size jet ski in it just go look at the water. Don’t trust this terrible app. ### 1/5 — Suck *2026-05-29, version 5.40.1* Windfinder says delta is 8 mph , it was 24 mph, ocean said 5 ft by 20 seconds swell, it was 7 ft by 7 seconds… SUCKS ### 1/5 — Low accuracy, low precision *2026-01-16, version 5.38.2* You could almost set your watch to the time the wind would change on the app back even may be three years ago now nowadays the app is so inaccurate It’s almost worthless and right now it says the wind in my location is 13 miles an hour not even moving are barely so as my weather station says 2.1 mph ### 1/5 — Won’t work *2026-01-15, version 5.38.2* For some reason it updated and I lost everything I had on it. ### 1/5 — Great features *2026-01-05, version 5.38.2* Pornographic ads. Images of basically nude women not completely but so close it’s ridiculous. ### 1/5 — Not close *2025-08-13, version 5.37.2* Not even close to being accurate ### 1/5 — The wind seems to be in a different direction every time *2025-07-20, version 5.37.1* I don’t recommend this app to anyone there always wrong and have got me in some awful winds ### 1/5 — Worthless webcam locations *2025-05-25, version 5.36.2* Worthless webcams....definitely pathetic ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — My to go before planning a fishing trip *2026-08-17, version 5.41.1* I never go out or plan anything without checking this app before.. great info and accurate. ### 5/5 — Seas *2026-08-16, version 5.41.1* The seas in my area is always worse than Windfinder shows on so if it says say 1.5 you can expect 2.5 . Any way to be more accurate ### 5/5 — 👍 *2026-08-13, version 5.41.1* 👍 ### 5/5 — Credit Card *2026-08-11, version 5.41.1* I would love to join the experience as a full membership member but the only payment accepted is through Apple ID. Unfortunately I don’t use it, wind finder should allow other types of payments…like a CC ### 5/5 — My Go To *2026-08-09, version 5.41.1* It’s my go to app for the wind. Hands down, the best. ### 5/5 — Great service *2026-08-09, version 5.41.1* Always dependable ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-08-04, version 5.41.0* This is one of the better and comprehensive weather sites!! ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-05-15, version 5.39.3* This is my most reliable wind app, ### 5/5 — Boss *2026-03-24, version 5.39.0* Would not want to be on the water without it. Great for picking the best days to be out. No surprises. ### 5/5 — Exceptional APP *2026-03-18, version 5.39.0* I love this app. The real time forecasts are awesome. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
