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/
