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 — Great app *2026-08-19, version 15.7.6* I like this app use it for fishing info ### 5/5 — Water temperatures!! Gotta love it *2026-08-19, version 15.7.6* Excited to see how accurate this new feature is for SUP’g locally. ### 5/5 — Pharaoh Tutankhamun *2026-08-18, version 15.7.6* Tutankhamun ### 5/5 — Easy to learn *2026-08-18, version 15.7.6* Darby West ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-08-18, version 15.7.6* I use this App all the time ### 4/5 — Bom *2026-08-18* Não é tão preciso, mas por enquanto é o que temos de melhor, pelo menos eu **Developer response:** Olá, obrigado pelo feedback!

Muito obrigado pelo seu feedback! Estamos felizes em ser uma fonte de previsões precisas para você! ### 5/5 — Just… Excellent *2026-08-16, version 15.7.6* Really good app and very helpful 👍🏽⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ### 5/5 — Information is Knowledge *2026-08-16, version 15.7.6* Wind frequently determines Weather. Seeing the winds at various altitudes helps me predict the weather and turbulence for flight. Very valuable in determining routes of flight to use tailwinds vs headwinds. Made many flights across the North Atlantic looking this app during my flight planning. ### 5/5 — Windy.app is terrific *2026-08-16, version 15.7.6* Really useful tool for anyone who wants a good forecast of the weather, especially wind and marine conditions ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Difficult to use *2026-08-22, version 15.7.7* Not a helpful app and consistently not accurate. ### 1/5 — Caution *2026-08-20, version 15.7.7* Was charged a 1 year subscription for $165.54 without my consent. Be careful with this app ### 1/5 — lying piece of *2026-08-20, version 15.7.6* so you pay for it and then you stop paying for it and it lies to you so much that why would you pay for it again? What is your seriously what are you thinking? ### 1/5 — N’achetez pas PRO… *2026-08-17, version 15.7.6* … les prévisions ne seront pas plus fiables, c’est-à-dire aussi nulles que n’importe quelle prévision météo gratuite. ### 1/5 — Incroyable *2026-08-17, version 15.7.6* Je lis que j’ai 6 jours pour annuler et que je ne suis pas débité. 3 secondes après message de ma banque que qu’on me débite de 66 $ et en essayant d’annuler je vois que je suis abonné pour un an non remboursable. Voleurs? Escrocs ? ### 1/5 — Does not remember settings *2026-08-17, version 15.7.6* Used to love this app but, I have to reset the settings every single time I open my app now. ### 1/5 — Unethical tricking you into spending $80 *2026-08-16, version 15.7.6* Says there’s a 3-day free trial and then gives you another feature that charges you instantly. They know what they’re doing, putting a direct charge in the on-boarding after you accept the trial. Go try a different fishing app. ### 1/5 — Unusable on free plan *2026-08-16, version 15.7.6* Too many confusingly worded prompts to upgrade to pro like “refuse the upgrade” with the color of the yes/no swapped around to try to mentally trick you into pressing the wrong one (Dark Pattern) Happens so frequently that the app is unable in free mode. I can’t even navigate the app for 2 minutes without 4 full screen overlays begging me to upgrade. Happened within the first few minutes of use which is against apples tos. Just use a website that has the app embedded. ### 1/5 — Why so many questions? *2026-08-16, version 15.7.6* Why do I have to answer a ton of questions about myself just to use a wind forecast app? It’s none of your business what I do. ### 1/5 — Terrible for salmon, fishing or steelhead on the Comby River *2026-08-16, version 15.7.6* Every time I try to login, I have to go fix my settings. It doesn’t even have salmon or steelhead listed. I forgot to shut off the seven day trial when I decided I didn’t like it and got charged $40! I’ll never use the app it doesn’t even work. I can’t figure out how to get my money back. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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！ ### 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! ### 5/5 — Sehr gute Wetterapp *2026-08-22* Übersichtlich und informativ, so soll es sein! **Developer response:** Hallo!
