Needs work

Shows fishing spots, weather and activity times but the fish library never works.

Rip off

Cancelled during the free trial. They charged me $49.99 so I cancelled in Apple Subscriptions and Windy managed to charge me another $164.99 for an annual subscription. BEWARE

How do i unsubscribe

I have been charged for app and cant seem to unsubscribe or contact anyone.

Unbelievable and not in the good way

This app is deceiving. I signed up for it because everything that was being presented on Facebook showed them to be a fishing app. I signed up for the app which costs approximately $50 per year and downloaded it. During setup it has you tell them all about how you fish and what you’re fishing for and makes you think that you are getting a fishing app however, as soon as you login, they hit you for another $65 per year to access the fishing portion of the app. This is not a fishing app primarily, it is a very expensive weather app with a costly fishing add-on.

Great app and very easy to use

Borderline Scammers

You’ll be asked to pay over and over again. Seriously annoying when the set up involves 3 pages of different plans, subscriptions, and sales. Frick off with the spam please

Response from developer

Hello Nate, We understand that seeing multiple subscription screens can be frustrating. As an independent team, subscriptions are what allow us to fund our ongoing research and purchase highly accurate, expensive weather data. This includes specialized data specifically for Canada, such as exclusive regional weather models, depth maps, lake temperatures, and precise fish-bite forecasts for various species. You can always close the promotional screens and continue using the fully functional free version of the app at no cost. Core features of the app are available for free. We hear your feedback about the frequency of these offers, and we'll work on making the onboarding experience smoother. Best regards, The Windy.app Team

Aggressive subscription pushing

I intend to try it for 7 days and it subscribed at $164 per year. And it default to group subscription?! Too aggressive pushing. Don’t like it.

Useless for saltwater

Fishing Pro version is completely useless because they do not incorporate an accurate tide phase in the calculation for fishing. They advised me that they use some kind of international tide phase. Which does a person no good for their local situation.

Meh

Lots of data. Impossible to read. And obscenely expensive.

Works but Nagware warning

Far too frequent “last chance” sales offers kneecap this otherwise useful app

Can’t use without pay$299

Waste time

Bad

Only 5 day weather

Not impressed

I won’t recommend it

Garbage

I paid for lifetime and everything I try to use is asking for money. I want a refund

App turned to hot garbage unless you pay

Can’t even look at stuff without being bothered at least twice to sign up for pro

Rubbish

I downloaded the app paid the subscription for the fishing section and I can’t access any of it. No help from Apple or the app provider. Now I’m £18.99 out of pocket and tied into it for a year.

£99 ?!

I went through the steps to install this, was happy to pay for premium service.

But then it presented at £99 for a year with no monthly option.

No, sorry I don’t have £99 to drop on this in one go. How many other customers walked away as there was no other monthly plan.

Shame.

1*

Yet another app that strings you along a stupid quiz before asking you for money at the end. Just say you’re a subscriber service only and stop wasting my time. Let people do your dumb customer survey after they’ve payed to be on ur app.

Deleting

Yeah the app was good BUTni needed storage srrrry

Response from developer

Sorry to see you go! If you ever free up some space, we'd love to welcome you back. 😊 Feel free to reach out at windy@windyapp.co if there's anything we can do to help in the meantime!

CarPlay

Não funciona CarPlay poderia funcionar

Response from developer

Olá, Willpmaria! Entendemos que o suporte ao CarPlay seria excelente, e nossa equipe já está estudando essa possibilidade para o futuro. Poxa, dar 1 estrela apenas por um recurso que ainda não existe é um pouco severo, já que o app funciona muito bem no celular e notas baixas prejudicam nosso trabalho. Se você gosta do aplicativo, poderia reconsiderar e aumentar sua nota? Se tiver mais sugestões, conte com a gente em windy@windyapp.co. Abraços, Equipe Windy.app
