### 2/5 — Crashing

*2026-03-17*

We rely on this app to get around in our sailboat in the Atlantic. Since the last update the app is crashing every other time I use it, when I try to select a starting point for a route. I thought this would be more reliable after paying the subscription. I have an iPhone 17 pro.

**Developer response:** Hello Captain!
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Does the issue persist? We’d really appreciate it if you could update your review, if we managed to help you resolve it. 
If the issue is still occurring, please send an email to windhub@windhub.com with screenshots of the problem.

### 2/5 — Очень плохо

*2025-07-19*

Карта глубин не работает. Прогноз погоды загружается 1 раз из 5. Windy загружается, а эта программа не грузит прогноз. На обращения в поддержку, ответы не приходят 🤷‍♂️

**Developer response:** Нам очень жаль, что вы столкнулись с такими трудностями.
Пожалуйста, свяжитесь с нами по адресу windhub@windhub.com, чтобы мы могли разобраться в ситуации и помочь вам лично.
Также хотим уточнить, что карта глубин в настоящее время доступна только для региона Северной Америки. 
Спасибо, что сообщили — ваш отзыв помогает нам становиться лучше.

### 2/5 — Installa	tion unklar

*2025-07-12*

Vielleicht eine tolle App, habe sie nicht testen können da nach der Installation damit ‚gedroht‘ wird, dass die App nach 7 Tagen die Gebühr der Jahresversion automatisch bucht. Zudem fand ich die 20 Fragen bei der Installation überflüssig wenn man nur mal sehen möchte, ob die App gut ist oder nicht. Der Eindruck war für mich am Anfang schon so komisch, dass ich sie sicherheitshalber sofort wieder gelöscht habe. Kommt mir so vor, als wenn die Vermarkter gegenüber den Programmierern gewonnen haben.

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für dein Feedback – und es tut uns leid, dass der erste Eindruck der App nicht positiv war. Wir verstehen, dass die Installation und die Testphase etwas verwirrend wirken können, und das ist definitiv etwas, woran wir arbeiten möchten.
Wenn du die App gerne nochmal ausprobieren möchtest, melde dich bitte bei uns unter windhub@windhub.com – wir würden dir gerne kostenlosen PRO-Zugang für einen Monat anbieten, damit du die Funktionen in Ruhe testen kannst. 😊
Dein Feedback hilft uns sehr weiter – danke dafür!

### 2/5 — Dissapointed

*2025-05-20*

Purchased a subscription with the sole purpose of using the depth charts for fishing. No maps for my area (Australia) or any of the southern hemisphere by the looks of it.

**Developer response:** Hello! We appreciate you trying the app, and we’re sorry the maps didn’t cover your area. We’re always working to expand our coverage, and feedback like yours helps. If you’d like to cancel or request a refund, just reach out to windhub@windhub.com, and our support team will assist you!

### 1/5 — Ungerechtfertigt hoher Preis

*2025-04-12*

Das ist das was es kostet nicht wert - nur meine Meinung. Gibt vergleichbares für weniger Geld.

**Developer response:** Hallo Felix! Danke, dass Sie uns Ihre Gedanken mitgeteilt haben! Wir wissen, dass der Preis eine große Rolle spielt, und wir sind immer auf der Suche nach Möglichkeiten, WindHub jeden Cent wert zu machen. Wenn Sie eine Idee haben, wie wir das Angebot verbessern können, schreiben Sie uns an windhub@windhub.com-we. Wir würden uns freuen, von Ihnen zu hören!

### 3/5 — Buena app pero mejorable

*2025-02-19, version 6.0.4*

Buena app para mirar y calcular qué tiempo va a hacer en tus rutas o simplemente por saber qué tiempo va a hacer en un lugar concreto. La representación de las profundidades no está activa en el mar mediterráneo, una verdadera pena. Cuando cambien eso les daré 5 estrellas

### 1/5 — Ärgerlich

*2024-11-19*

Habe die Testversion ausgewählt und mir werden direkt 90€ abgebucht

**Developer response:** Hallo! Es tut mir leid zu hören, dass das passiert ist. Die 7-Tage-Testversion ist nur einmal pro Gerät verfügbar. Leider ist es nicht möglich, eine weitere Testversion auf demselben Gerät zu erhalten, weshalb Sie wahrscheinlich sofort belastet wurden. Um eine Rückerstattung zu erhalten, beantragen Sie diese bitte über den App Store unter: reportaproblem.apple.com . Weitere Informationen zum Beantragen einer Rückerstattung und die entsprechenden Schritte finden Sie hier: support.apple.com/de-us/HT204084 
Wir wären Ihnen dankbar, wenn Sie sich mit uns in Verbindung setzen könnten, damit wir Ihnen als Zeichen der Entschuldigung den kostenlosen PRO-Zugang für 1 Monat zur Verfügung stellen können. Unsere E-Mail lautet windhub@windhub.com.

### 4/5 — Глубина есть?

*2024-10-30*

Глубины показывает?

**Developer response:** Привет! Спасибо за отзыв и внимание к нашему приложению! На данный момент карты глубин доступны только для региона США. Если у вас остались вопросы, пожалуйста, обращайтесь к нам по адресу windhub@windhub.com.

### 3/5 — No marina

*2024-09-29*

When I click on marina I don’t see any appearing when the app is suppose too ??

**Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for reporting it! Please contact us at windhub@windhub.com and share the screenshot of the issue. We'll do our best to resolve it!

### 1/5 — Seems unstable?

*2024-09-23*

Only had a few minutes and every time I enter a route location program closes??

**Developer response:** Hello! Sorry to hear you had an unpleasant experience with the app. The bug was fixed and we'd appreciate if you could update your review. Thank you. 
windhub@windhub.com

### 1/5 — Scam

*2024-09-18*

Offered a 7 day free trial but charged me for a full year immediately.

**Developer response:** Dear Richard, 
We are sorry to hear that there has been an issue with the trial period. We strive to provide the best service possible, and it is concerning to hear that we may have fallen short.
Could you please share more details about the problem you encountered at windhub@windhub.com? 
In the meantime, please visit reportaproblem.apple.com to get a refund and use your phone settings to cancel the subscription: App Store -> your Apple ID -> Sign in -> Subscriptions -> Cancel WindHub PRO
Thank you for your understanding!

### 1/5 — False advertising

*2024-08-23, version 5.9*

Maps do not match advertising

### 1/5 — No Maps

*2024-07-28, version 5.7.7*

This is a scam. Doesn’t state that only maps for the US coastline are available on the app. Receiving no feedback on email or helplines… WTF

### 2/5 — Not what I thought it would be

*2024-07-13*

I’m not to keen on the app. Radar is not accurate and it’s been pouring rain here for the past 20 minutes and the radar screen shows a light rain blob a few miles away and nothing else while other apps are showing all the rain pouring now. What is shown is just blobs. It’s cumbersome to use. I do appreciate the tide and swell data but I can get that from my other 2 apps I use for weather. I’m not sure if this app is for continental US use. I’ll try weather routing, but guesstimate is fine as the charts are definitely not something I’d actually rely on for navigation. Maybe for ocean crossings? I’m trying to make good use of it but it isn’t living up to the hype. I hope it makes a positive difference for others.

In response to developer: thank you for the reply. I already use Windy as one of my 2 primary sources. By continental, I mean: within the USA waters. I’m not sure I would rely on routing using those maps to safely avoid underwater hazards or even rocks and islands. So I’m not understanding the emphasis on charts usage. I checked it out against my chartplotter and it did not match up. So, I say it’s better for larger crossings with deep waters where there is much less chance of hitting small islands or rocks. I hope this clarified. Thank you for replying.

**Developer response:** Hello! We highly appreciate your detailed feedback! We will take your comments about the radar into account and consider them for future development of the feature. By 'continental use' you mean the routing by land, right? If yes then we'd be happy to suggest you to try out our core app called Windy.app. It has feature called 'Forecast along the route', created for hikers, cyclists and drivers - maybe it may be of use to you. Please contact us at windhub@windhub.com for more information and promo code for 1 month of free access to PRO. In addition, we can help you cancel your subscription and get a refund if you wish.

### 1/5 — Not a free 7 day trial

*2026-07-07*

I clicked on the ‘7 day free trial’ and was immediately charged £79,99 for the whole year. Let’s see if I get my money back but it is looking fairly misleading if not fraudulent.

**Developer response:** Hello jfkelix,
We apologize for the frustrating experience, but we want to assure you there is absolutely nothing fraudulent happening. We operate entirely within Apple’s strict payment system.
Apple allows strictly one free trial per Apple ID. If you used a trial for our app in the past, Apple’s confirmation screen explicitly states that you will be charged immediately.
Since Apple handles 100% of the transactions, you can easily get your money back by requesting a refund directly at https://reportaproblem.apple.com . They will return your money according to their policy.
Best regards,
The WindHUB Team

### 1/5 — Cancel

*2026-06-21, version 6.1.8*

Cancel
Please cancel my subscription 
I don’t want it I can’t get it to work

### 1/5 — Not as advertised

*2026-06-18, version 6.1.8*

This apps outputs are nothing like the advertised detail, it does not even show the depths! Not worth the money at all

### 1/5 — Fraudulent billing

*2026-02-07*

Some how this app is able to bill my apple account but doesn’t show up on the subscriptions list as active or inactive! Don’t trust them !

**Developer response:** Hi, we understand how worrying unexpected charges feel. 
​ If you email us at windhub@windhub.com with a screenshot of the receipt, we’ll help you sort this out immediately.

​Calling this “fraudulent” is unfair: you fully control your subscriptions in your Apple account or another payment account, and we technically cannot withdraw money without your approval.

### 1/5 — 시바 메일을 보냈으면

*2025-11-10*

답장을해라 먹튀 한번은 그냥 넘어갔는데 로그아웃햤다가 로그인하는데 왜 프로 계정이 날라갔냐 메일을 보냈으면 답장을 안하노 양아치들이냐

**Developer response:** 안녕하세요 KAKA3721님 — 프로 계정 관련 불편을 드려 죄송합니다. 계정 정보를 첨부하여 windhub@windhub.com으로 직접 문의해 주시면, 지원팀에서 구독 복구 또는 문제 해결을 도와드리겠습니다. 앱을 중단 없이 계속 사용하실 수 있도록 조치하겠습니다.

### 1/5 — DO NOT PURCHASE - EXTREMELY UNRELIABLE - CHECK ON REDDIT FIRST. FULL OF BUGS

*2025-09-30*

I made a huge mistake by trusting these developers and paid $60 for a software that is completely useless. You have to kill the app every 2 minutes  because all you will see is a huge error screen. It takes reloading the app 5 times so that MAYBE you will see something for the next 10 minutes. Right after purchasing the app I initiated a refund request but apple refuses to refund. I still cant understand how can they scam buyers like that and get away with this. Stay away. Search for reddit post about this app and you will see hundreds of complains about the same issue that uses post for months. So its not something new.. they know the issue but still refuse to refund.

**Developer response:** Hello Isaac,
We're really sorry you’ve been stuck in that loop of error screens and reloads. This isn’t the experience we aim for. We haven’t encountered this bug before, so your feedback is crucial. Could you please email us at windhub@windhub.com with any screenshots of the errors and your purchase receipt? Our team will dive in immediately, and since Apple can’t refund you, we'll issue one ourselves. Again sorry for the frustration caused. Thank you for your patience and for helping us make the app better.

### 1/5 — 89,99€ es una estafa

*2025-08-06, version 6.1.1*

¿En qué consiste tener una cuenta premiun? No veo nada especial, incluso no aparece la carta marina ni nada. Muy decepcionada.

### 1/5 — What a scam

*2025-06-07*

They send you a renewal the same day ur supposed to cancel it so when you do cancel it the payment goes though.  

I did not renew the app because it’s garbage it is not accurate and a waste of you want a get app for the ocean get Navionics

**Developer response:** Hello Tyler! We're truly sorry for any frustration this caused. If you’d like to request a refund, please follow Apple’s official refund process: visit reportaproblem.apple.com
Feel free to reach out to us at windhub@windhub.com if you need any assistance. We appreciate your feedback and hope we can improve your experience in the future.

### 1/5 — Captain Fred

*2025-05-13*

Their seems to be an issue with the program crashing every time I open it up on my I pad. I restart and a can use it for a little bit then it crashes. I have deleted the app and reinstalled the app and it does the same thing. Not sure how to talk to someone about this issue

**Developer response:** Hello Captain Fred! Kindly send us the message at windhub@windhub.com and add screenshots or screen recording of the issue. Our user support team will look into it and do their best to help you!

### 1/5 — Rip-off can't cancel for a year!!

*2025-04-15, version 6.0.6*

### 5/5 — Misleading

*2026-06-15*

You can same info free on windy and there  is no option to delete your subscription.

**Developer response:** Hello, thank you for your feedback.

Regarding your subscription, please email us at windhub@windhub.com and we will assist you immediately.

We would also appreciate your thoughts on why you didn't find WindHub more useful than Windy. We built WindHub to be more specialized for sailors, with unique features like map-based route planning and sailing-specific data. We would truly value your input - even just a few words - so we can continue to improve.

### 5/5 — Apple iphone araç takımı yapılması

*2025-12-28, version 6.1.6*

Uygulama güzel, Apple iphone araç takımı yapılması gerekir. Her defasında uygulamanın açılıp bakılması gerekiyor aksi takdirde.

### 5/5 — Planning the voyage

*2025-03-16*

Get it … these kids are hands on and there to help.  I watched the webinar .. it was helpful … most impressive.. they are building a great platform for traveling the oceans!

**Developer response:** Hello Randy! Thanks so much! We're thrilled to hear you're enjoying the app and finding it useful for your ocean travelling. Your feedback means a lot to us. Keep having great experiences out there! 🌟

### 5/5 — Всё хорошо!

*2024-12-28*

Сделайте разовую покупку навсегда

**Developer response:** Благодарим за ваш отзыв! Мы работаем над этим. Надеемся, что скоро такая возможность появится. А еще мы будем рады услышать о вашем опыте использования приложения - напишите нам по адресу windhub@windhub.com в любое удобное время. Спасибо!

### 5/5 — Imprescindible

*2024-07-28, version 5.7.7*

Imprescindible en naútica para la planificación de singladuras, donde te permite trazar tu ruta y ver la predicción del tiempo que hará en cada coordenada de paso de la travesía. La puedes afinar bastante al indicarle la navegación que haces y los nudos que piensas sacar de media. El poder ver viento, olas y corriente del mar en cada punto de paso es ideal. En su versión de pago, te permite también guardar lugares, rutas e invertirlas. La pago con gusto visto el mucho uso que le doy. Solo le falta que pueda guardar la predicción para poderla consultar cuando pierdes cobertura de internet (algo normal en travesías oceánicas, salvo que lleves internet por satélite, aún a la altura de pocos bolsillos). También sería interesante poder ver el posicionamiento en mapa con todos los datos (viento olas y marea), pues solo permite ver la simulación de paso en el plano  con el dato del viento. A ver esos desarrolladores buenos…. Creo que ena buena app, práctica y sumamente intuitiva.

### 5/5 — Great visuals

*2024-05-30*

Guys, really love this app as a long time fan of windy, this is brilliant.  I think for me as a sea kayaker in the UK the extra features like nav don’t currently have admiralty data I can see and it doesn’t seem to factor in local tidal current changes around a few coast lines I’ve checked the tidal speed isn’t updated.  Its brilliantly laid out and the overall journey planning is one of the best visually I’ve seen.

**Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for your positive feedback and support of both our apps! We'd appreciate it if you could share more details about the tidal forecast, screenshots will be of help. Our user support team will look into it - drop your message at windhub@windhub.com whenever you like. We strive to deliver the best experience possible and your feedback will be invaluable.

### 5/5 — Best app for sailing

*2023-07-25*

the app has all I need, the weather routing is really helpful. I love simple view of all parameters and features, highly recommended!

**Developer response:** If you have any ideas about what should be added to the app to make it more convenient for you, please email us at windhub@windhub.com

### 5/5 — best app for sailing

### 5/5 — WindHub is the best one

*2023-07-14*

Very good app, love new function — routing. All sailors must have!

**Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for your positive feedback! We are happy to be useful to you!

### 5/5 — The best sailing app

*2023-07-14, version 4.5.1*

For marine long trips - best app ever, 
but i also spend a lot of time at the lakes, and routing works not that good, for a short trips 

..but anyway, since the last update, app become incredibly cool, looking forward for the next updates!!❤️
