Windtrack

Windtrack doesn't just show the forecast. For the date you choose, it tracks how the forecast changes over time, analyses it, compares it with past years and presents it as a clear report. Other apps show only the latest forecast. You look weeks ahead, see "Saturday 25 knots, let's cancel", and Saturday arrives with a flat calm sea. Windtrack queries five global models four times a day for the point and time you choose, and never deletes an update. You see which way the forecast is drifting and whether the models are coming together. A narrowing spread between models is a far stronger sign of confidence than wind speed alone. NEW — WIDGETS, APPLE WATCH AND CARPLAY (Premium) Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, the Apple Watch app and complications, and CarPlay show your tracked point's average wind, direction and gusts at a glance. Widgets refresh automatically as forecasts update. Widgets and Apple Watch require iOS 26 and watchOS 26. FEATURES - Five global models in one place: ECMWF, ICON, GFS, Météo-France and UKMO — four updates a day - How the forecast changed over time: see in one chart how the forecast for your target date has shifted over the days - Spread between models: confidence grows as the models converge — a data-driven answer to "go or no go" - Captain commentary in your language: AI turns all the data into plain sailor's language — Turkish, English, German, Russian and Greek - Notifications: you are notified when the forecast for your point changes significantly; the commentary is prepared before the notification is sent, so it is waiting when you open it - Offline access: even out of coverage, the latest forecasts, charts and commentary open; every item shows when it was fetched, so stale data never fools you - Spatial pattern: how the wind behaves across the area, from four satellite points about 20 nautical miles north, south, east and west of your point - Historical context: for points within POSEIDON coverage, a comparison with the same date window over the past five years — is this wind normal or unusual? - High resolution: for points in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea, the 5 km Greek POSEIDON model comes in three days before the target - Observed: follow live measurements from observation stations to see whether the forecast held; the station's distance in miles is always shown WITH PREMIUM - Unlimited new points - 3 tracking points at once - Forecasts up to 15 days ahead - Points stay open indefinitely - Detailed point analysis and captain commentary - Verification report card and archive - Widgets, Apple Watch and CarPlay Sign in within seconds with your Google or Apple account. Note: All weather models can be wrong. Windtrack does not run its own weather model; it collects the forecasts of existing global models and tracks and analyses how they change over time. The decision to put to sea is always the captain's. Privacy Policy: https://windtrack.tr/gizlilik/en/ Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: WStatMap at none against Windtrack's 2. Windtrack's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
