### 5/5 — Good Resource

*2026-08-25, version 15.7.7*

The Windy app is loaded with useful features to plan my inshore and offshore fishing trips.  Highly recommend.

### 5/5 — 。

*2026-08-23, version 15.7.7*

太棒了👏
喜欢！

### 3/5 — Okay App

*2026-08-23, version 15.7.7*

I sail and most of the information is good and reliable. However, the geographical details are terrible. It’s very difficult to tell if you’re looking at exactly the right location for where you want to go. Other than being able locate where you are, it’s not useful to know where I want to go and review the forecast, because mapping is blanked out by the overlays.

### 5/5 — Capt

*2026-08-23, version 15.7.7*

Good

### 5/5 — Buy pro lifetime! 100% worth it.

*2026-08-22, version 15.7.7*

I have been using this app since beta, I since then have gotten the pro version for lifetime one time purchase. I am a person with disabilities, who needs to keep track of the progress of weather patterns, conditions, activities and much more to help prevent dangerous accidents from occurring. This app does it all and then more! It’s one of the best weather apps on the market with extra features such as fishing info and how the weather affects not just as but the environment around us. In conclusion get this app, buy the life time and never have to worry about weather alerts failing again!

### 1/5 — Difficult to use

*2026-08-22, version 15.7.7*

Not a helpful app and consistently not accurate.
