Review for iPhone only. I used to think that Windy for iPhone did not work, but I think that I was using it incorrectly, as I’m used to the iPad version, and the phone version is different. I’ve been using Windy for at least six months on the iPad and it works quite well. I now thin the iPhone version is quite good as well. I like that one swipes the calendar beneath the time widget, instead of trying to drag the widget as one must on the iPad. I’d suggest this feature migrate to iPad as well. The other thing I’d like to see is to have winds and gusts display together, or better yet, have all selected data types display at once. Windy is a fine app.

Access to the models professionals use. Also Can compare them, and probably learn a lot more too if you have less formal meteorological training. Having more access to well formatted data instead of it being fed to you and summarized as in other apps is important especially to those who depend heavily on weather such as myself occasionally working in the marine industry on Great Lakes and outdoor activities or professions. It’s important to understand that models do not always get it perfect so being able to compare them for discrepancy and integrate into your own local knowledge is crucial on the water or anywhere really when serious mission critical planning or at least some decent foresight is required. This app allows you to do that. I’d say this app is the main thing to have and then some shortcuts for a few NOAA pages allowing you to get some of the same information in a low bandwidth format when service is poor … other than Sirius nav weather on an MFD for when there is zero cell coverage… this is what you need to be as confident as anyone can be about completing dangerous marine work on a Great Lake like superior.

Well done. I’ve been looking for a long time for an app with this much functionality, as well-designed, and with as active community engagement. And, at the moment, it’s free, and with no ads. If you find it as useful as I do, however, the subscription is very reasonable compared to the couple of other “professional” services I have seen. I happily signed up. These people are obviously focused on providing the best and most usable data and visualization possible. I’ve seen too many really good starts go down the drain when someone corporate comes along with better ideas for monetization that ends up killing the thing (I’m looking at you, Storm). I tip my hat to the Windy team.

Was terrific; now gone greedy. I’ve been using Windy for years and loved every minute. The recent updates however are pushing users to “go premium” for a cost. I’d rather put up with ads than pay as if I had to pay for all the apps I want to use, my retirement income would be used up and my dog and I would starve. Of course the real target is younger, working people who don’t mind the $3 here and $5 there (per month.) A better model is to pay once for premium and leave it at that but with so many being sold and then bought by profit greedy new owners, the better model apps are few and far between.

It’s your right to not like changes. I love the statement that tho company used in a expansion of why the changes…it’s their right to the changes and if we don’t like it that’s our right to disagree. I have used this app over the last few years and it has helped with many forecasts of upcoming issues. Since the company has used the right to change things, it is as useless as some of the other weather apps on the market. But like all people now looking for an edge of making more money change is happening. The app did have some of the best features on the market. I do thank the developers for the time the allowed us poor folks the use of the product.

Weather for everyone!. FINALLY! - A weather app for adults. This app is amazingly sophisticated and deep with information enough to satisfy the most dedicated weather geek, yet simple enough so that you can see all the details of a 10 day forecast in one chart. The animated wind and storm overlays are absolutely the best I’ve seen in any weather app. The only thing lacking is a detailed video analysis of the weather situation for a particular area, but these are fraught with ads in other weather apps, and with a little education and the information provided by this app you could nearly compose your own video.

Update is a downgrade. I’ve been using Windy for a number of years and have found it quite useful so vey often. The latest “improvements” to the app are just awful. When an app that’s been around for so long, and the UI is good, a major change to the interface means it’s like getting a different app and starting over. Over the weekend I used windy on my iPhone for a trip over to Catalina Island off SoCal. Very accurate and useful. The forecasts were very good and useful. Two days later, I’m home and open Windy on my iPad Pro to plan my next sail. I am fumbling around trying to find the information which was so useful in the past. Gone is the menu at the bottom of the screen, when tapped, the wind arrows at the location chosen location which gave a quick and easy display of the forecast over time by sliding the date/time cursor at the bottom. Now, the time for the forecast is at the bottom of the scree but the predicted wind speed and direction as at the top of the screen. So it’s a constant up down up down up down scan to get the forecasted wind and time. Without the wind arrows for a quick display of the forecast, Windy has become much more cumbersome to use. I’ve been through the menu multiple times but cannot find a setting for the wind arrows on the selected forecast location. So VERY frustrating of an update.

Invaluable. I write a weather blog on Facebook for my rural community in North Carolina, building local forecasts and discussions Originally from the US high plains of eastern Colorado, being weather aware could be a matter of life and death due to severe storms in summer, blizzards in winter, so I’ve been a meteorology enthusiast and studier since a young kid. Getting the model output of the NAM / ECMF & GFS has, until this app, required finding obscure university / government websites -relying on upkeep and maintenance of these pages - and none of these were practical over mobile The only things I could think of to improve the app are NOAA / Met Office warning polygons on the radar view, the inclusion of the US RAP Rapid Refresh model and theta-e (equivalent potential temperature) maps But these are minor quibbles on an otherwise highly sophisticated and immensely useful weather app Highly recommend for meteorologists, weather enthusiasts or people who want weather model data at their fingertips

The best, but incorporate meteoblue maps?. As a developer myself, I really appreciate the quality of work going into an app like this. The fact that you have 5 comparable forecast models that can also be compared with ground station data really sets this apart. It’s hard to ask for more. That being said… I want more!!! Could you please incorporate meteoblue maps, at least for temperature and wind? It’s misleading when I select meteoblue as the forecast model but the map continues to display the previous “map supported” global model (ECMWF GFS or ICON). If meteoblue only supports some data, I’d prefer a warning message saying “we can’t show this because it doesn’t exist”, rather than the current behavior of showing me something that does exist but isn’t what I asked for. Additionally, selecting NAM 5km from the same menu seems to prematurely “snap back” to ECMWF. I dislike, but still prefer, the tendency of NAM 5km to only switch to ECMWF when the modeled region goes *completely* out of view (which is my experience when selecting NAM from the side-bar, rather than within the forecast menu). I’d like no switching at all, but it’s not a big inconvenience. Thanks, and keep up the great work!

Comprehensive. This weather app is by far the most creative and comprehensive view of weather I’ve ever seen. As an outdoor person and one who gets out on the waters in our boat, the info can be tailored to cover just about any circumstance: example, wind speed and direction relative to Lows and Highs, relationship of wave actions to swells, and active tide/current data. There just is no other app that I know of that is so comprehensive, and I have yet to utilize all the features, like cloud formations at different altitudes. Keep up the good work! So many great apps “get better” and lose their utility...please,please, maintain your integrity!

Help!. Update I want to thank the developers for their persistence and patience in assisting me with gaining access to my premium subscription across all devices. The only thing better than the incredible performance of Windy is the amazing team that provide support for the application. Thank you once again!! I’m trying to seek assistance with accessing my Premium account. It appears on my iPhone but will not allow me to access it on my iPad. Somehow my account has been corrupted and I am not able to access help in a traditional manner.

Sometimes I’m lucky. I have a nice RV with a large deck on a lake. What’s on the deck, plants and some furniture, can take serious damage from wind and rain that blows sideways. Knowing how much wind and wind direction is critical for my potted plants, which can happily fly off the tables if it gets too windy. Windy keeps me informed of wind and wind gusting with direction as well as how much rain is expected. The maps showing wind direction is very cool but I love watching the storms on radar. I can replay the last hour or more of the radar and can see if the storm is hitting or missing. I set out to find a better weather app, and this is it. Lucky again!

Overwhelming Options, Underwhelming Performance. I really wanted to like this app. It offers so, so much in terms of data sources, displays, predictions, and potential usefulness. Unfortunately the app design does not provide adequate tools for users to choose and manage these options. Every data option is excessively detailed, simple choices, like F or C temp. display, cannot be saved even though the SAVE button is pressed. Display options for temp. gradients are inconsistent. Labels for features like the speed of radar animation are barely visible on an iPad and nearly invisible on iPhone. This app offers so much potential. It could have been great. Instead it comes across as a mess of sources that were combined with little thought about function and user experience.

Metars and Models and Satellites oh my!. I’ve been a severe weather enthusiast for years I also have a very busy, not-weather related profession so I always seem to spend the first week before tornado reason trying to relocate all of the meteorological data online. No more! With Windy I can old-school my forecasts based on surface data, or I can flip through model data. The settings and visual layering are incredible! Thanks to the developers for an amazing, thoughtful app! I’m just kicking myself that I’m only now finding this. If you are looking for a standard, user-friendly “here’s your local forecast”, kind of app, this app is probably not your best bet. If you are a chaser, spotter, forecaster, weather enthusiast or anyone working in the marine world, this app is the best I’ve come across!

Miss Dark Sky? Try Windy.. Dark Sky was a marvelously innovative weather app that Apple brought and then turned into the grotesque mashup that is now the Apple weather app. Such a waste. But all is not lost: Windy picks up the torch with a fast, fluid, intuitive user interface that displays a multitude of weather charts at the tap of a finger. Weather radar, satellite, wind direction and velocity, lightning (with sound if you like), waves(!), air quality, and more additional charts than space conveniently allows me to mention. There’s a paid tier that supposedly gives you things like higher radar resolution, but the free version seems to work well for me. On the other hand I might subscribe just so that when Apple comes calling the folks at Windy won’t really need the money.

BEST EVER!!!. I’ll update this later in more detail... but your app is the BEST... I SERIOUSLY MEAN BEST... of every other weather app I’ve ever known and downloaded in the last 7 years! Everything from data sources, detailed info, everything for a weather nerd as myself... almost could be a meteorologist lol! I’m a geologist so love everything related to Earth’s science... I’ll post an update later... but need to say THANK YOU for the best app EVER! 😃 Thank everybody that aided in developing your app Once I’ve available funds... I seriously wish to contribute as much as possible to the developers! FYI... this is the first review I’ve EVER submitted for an app... so everyone should now understand my love of this app!

Excellent app, unstable at the moment. I am a sailor, forest fire warden, pilot, an outdoor enthusiast who has been a paid subscriber for many years, and have always used Windy to get a good overview of the long-range models. It is the best general presentation of forecast models available. I used Windy on both an iPhone and iPad Pro with equal success. However, in the last few weeks it has become very unstable and crashes soon after initiating. I have followed all the developer’s recommendations for correcting the installation on the user’s end but to no avail. I suspect there still is some condition that they haven’t resolved and I hope they can figure it out. Good luck!

Great app for truck drivers. As a truck driver in the southwest, this app is amazing because I can monitor wind speeds and weather to make my job a little bit safer since it’s always windy here. we actually use it in our dispatch office as well. I started out with the free version, but I liked it so much I opted to get the premium subscription. I’d say Radar Omega is a little better if you’d like to track just thunderstorms and tornadoes, but this app is especially great for tracking windspeeds, but also does a good job on other severe weather. With the premium version you have access to all kinds of different layers between wind, rain, snow, ozone, temperatures, drought maps, all kinds of stuff. 50+ different ones actually. i’d recommend it and I’d say it’s probably the best “all around” weather app that I’ve come across so far.

My favorite app. This app is the most complete I've found and tells you day you can also see the days of a lot of rain. And I can say I've never removed it from my phone because I've had it since the hurricane irma and right now there's a hurricane coming to Mexico but it doesn't offer aAnd I can say I've never removed it from my phone because I've had it since the hurricane irma and right now there's a hurricane coming to Mexico but it doesn't offer any danger. Unload it. You will not regret putting play and you will see the days as you walk and you see the day the hurricane arrives at us. Thanks to us.

Founded Cayman Windsurf in the late eighties, so always been “following the Wind”.. This is an Awesome App giving a clear, big-picture, graphical clarification of which coast of our Island, Grand Cayman is directly facing an onshore wind at each point during the period as a storm approaches, collides with, passes and recedes from our shores. Vitally important for those living on the coast, who are wondering when the sea is going to be threatening property, life and limb! And when an offshore wind will turn a typically windward-shore into a calmlGoon. Fascinating to see how systems from hundreds of miles away produce stormy conditions. Love it. Thank you! Chris N

New version of windy takes free features away- don’t upgrade!!. Well the long range forecast has been moved to the “premium” platform. At least the various models still remain but I assume they would be next on the chopping block to try and force people to the paid premium version. The long range forecast with the ability to see the different model solutions was the main reason I used the windy app. Now that it is gone, I guess I will just stay on weatherunderground website for my weather data. Weatherunderground is more grounded in reality but it “was” fun to see the extremes from the raw models. You are free to use whatever business model you want. It’s an interesting app but not worth paying for the premium features. Without the long range forecast, it’s no better than the other apps so I uninstalled Windy. Wish you well, hope this works for you.

Brilliant. I am a recent refugee from weather underground who have just destroyed their app with the worlds least advisable update. So I have been hunting through a dozen apps for something to make my new go-to source for all things weather. This is it! Totally what I probably always wanted but never knew existed or was possible in an app form. I read all the local NWS Discussions but never before could actually see the eg ECMWF or GFS forward projections to understand anything more. Your app gives me a whole new window into understanding the weather of Southern California and controls thereof. So happy!

Found my weather app. Having tried at least 5 other weather apps over time, I found Windy last week before hurricane Henri (I’m in NE US). I find it to be truly better, and has a different kind of design than then others. As I look through options, I find it’s not hard to navigate and an absolute wealth of info is available and easy to find. I try an unpaid version before upgrading, on the reasoning that if I find the first tier is great, I will eventually want the paid upgrade. In the free version, things are beautifully laid out, so Windy has my vote!

Click click click click click click. This may not be a deal breaker for some, however, one of Windy’s featured map overlays is Weather Radar, it is cool over lay for severe weather. The overlays shows rain intensity, lightning, and even makes sounds when lightning strikes. The overlay has one major major oversight by Windy, there is no way to disable or turn off the lightning strike clicking. This clicking WILL drive you nuts, windys silly community voting approach for features only after you sign up is quite a stupid model. I love the app, hate the clicking and the oversight from their devs to turn it off and the stupid community voting approach, thus three stars. Most likely will delete it after I find a comparable app.

Pretty great as far as weather apps go.. Very user-friendly for being as in depth as it is, and that makes it a both a joy and a useful teaching tool. But I want more. I’d really like this to take the place of all, or at least most, of the web sites I use. I’ll list 3 things specifically: 1. Access to more computer models. Instead of just the deterministic GFS and ECMWF, add the 30 and 50 ensembles, respectively, or at least a blend. The Canadian model and its ensembles. The HRRR. The UKMET. Any of the big boys that I haven’t listed here. Also some CAM’s for short term. And being able to plot the data in charts and meteograms instead of just maps. 2. Forecasts, short-term and long-term, for the oscillations that drive the earth’s weather, i.e. the Madden-Julian and ENSO. 3. Archived history of weather maps and surface observations at airport, marine, mesonet and personal weather stations. I understand these are big asks—and not likely to be of much use to most people—but as a 2nd, elite subscription tier for 9.99 a month, I’d buy in.

My lifeline to weather. We live aboard our boat full time. In Continental US waters, there are lots of weather apps as well as local forecasts to keep one safe on the water. Outside the US, radar and forecasting gets a lot harder. Windy has been the sole app that gives us our local radar and forecast as well as all the regular features used for sailing. With the addition of more hurricane features, it has become indispensable to assist with keeping us informed and safe. That’s a lot for an app. My only beef is that when you open the app, it always has the New Hurricane Tracker page that you must X out of to close. Can we not leave that there? When I’m constantly opening the app, it got old real fast. Otherwise, I truly appreciate the local weather in remote areas as well as all of the regular features. Thank you so very much!

Great Companion with your current Weather app. I have my weatherbug app and I think this is great companion with weatherbug the big reason why is the 36 map layers I think that the whole lot of layers in the app and weatherbug has 18 that’s only half the layers. I like the wind and wind gust maps because you can storms. I think this very helpful for pilots, skydiving, paragliders and more. Also your latest addition extreme forcast if you think your getting a lot of rain it will show you if it’s normal, unusual, or extreme event Also again a great companion with your current weather app if accuweather or weatherbug or weather channel it’s great thank you

Great on iPhone 8, issues dragging the map on the 11. I loved this app so much! Having lived in 2 locations that are frequented by hurricanes, Florida & Coastal North Carolina, this app is a MUST during hurricane season. I used it all the time on my iPhone 8 with no issues. But I just got the iPhone 11, and noticed one issue I never had on the iPhone 8. And seeing no other reviews describing this same issue (the iPhone 11 has only been out now for 4 days), I felt I should report it just in case others have the same issue, and so maybe a fix can occur. I have tried restarting my phone and reinstalling the app, but problem persists. The issue happens when you try to drag the map to look at other locations. Instead of the animated map moving to reveal more of the map, it zooms in. Making it impossible to look at other locations, other than the default location. I was able to move it only a little but it was a battle getting it to respond at al and would still only do that while simultaneously zooming in. If I am doing something wrong, please let me know! But I still say it’s been the best visual weather app out there! And I hope this problem goes away soon! I will change my rating to 5 stars if I can get it to work again.

Lack of cellular support on Apple Watch. The application itself is great I do use it. I was very glad to see Apple Watch integration. However like many many people I have an Apple Watch with cellular connectivity so I don’t have to be tethered to my iPhone. Unfortunately we’re not tethered to the iPhone and the Apple Watch windy application has major problems. I get error messages like location not enabled, or doesn’t know where I am or worse yet no connectivity. evidently the application on the Apple Watch has no problem as long as you’re connected to the phone. If you rely on your Apple Watch with cellular connectivity to allow you to be away from your phone not going to work. I don’t understand this most applications that I’ve used tend to support both. Why the developers failed to anticipate this Or thought that it wasn’t significant enough to support is beyond me.

Best DIY weather app. If you want to be your own meteorologist, this is the app. You have four models to choose from, including the renowned ECMWF, and can make your own comparison among the four. If you like the autonomy and are willing to take a little more time, you can do wonders with this app. If you prefer to let a meteorologist do the work, then you’re better off with your local weather station, keeping in mind that the forecasters are working from these same models. I live in a remote area in Alaska where there is no forecast available and for this situation Windy is invaluable.

I’m Not Going To Ever Pay For Subscriptionware, Ever. If you want me to consider paying for Premium ‘features’ for an app I use (from experience knowing that premium on any app generally adds little, but willingness to pay “to support the developers”), don’t do two things: 1) Don’t offer the premium by subscription, forcing the user to pay the base cost of an app over and over and over again, and 2) don’t slow the app to a grind in order to pressure the user to go premium. (Yes, I regret updating Windy.) iPhone 8, iOS 16.7.2 I really rather loathe it when an “update” dumbs down a perfectly well-made app in order to drive users to pay for it again and again. I choose not to reward that. I know most users go along, which reinforces this counterproductive and exploitative practice, but I wish they wouldn’t.

Update ruined app. The new update has destroyed the user experience on the app. The UI changing has made it much more challenging and frustrating to use, to the point where I am going to have to delete the app. It’s just unusable for me, they fixed a UI that was PERFECT. One of the best things about the app was how simple it was. Now it’s clunky, complex, and just annoying to use. Windy provided me with much useful data but it’s nothing I can’t find through other resources which I’m afraid I will have to do now. I do hope the makers of this app correct the decision to change the UI and revert it back to the original. It’s very unfortunate that I have to stop using this app, because I really enjoyed it and it really helped me out. But it’s not worth it when they took away part of what made it enjoyable and usable. I hope the makers see this, please correct this update, you’re going to lose lots of users because of the new UI.

Use it all the time for long distance cruise planning as well as for local fishing trips. I have weather XM subscription on my Garmin chart plotter, but it only gets me a wind view out 3 days. Windy gives me an outlook on wind and swell direction as far as a week out. I find this invaluable for our summer cruising in the Bahamas. It allows me to line up wind and waves to best suit my boat and allows me to give my passengers a better ride on passages. Together with Weather XM and internet weather reports, I can minimize bad weather experiences for my guests (and wife) so they will want to come back again and again! I use Windy more than any of the others mentioned because it’s so handy and can be taken easily from boat to boat. Wherever I carry my phone (which is everywhere) I can get wind and sea conditions. If you’re a boater, you will love this app.

Commercial Fisherman. Was skeptical at first that this could depict weather changes so precisely, but found that it is mostly correct. I think a lot of it is due to the quirky geography of the mountains and lengthy valleys near the waterways that I commercial fish during the winter months. Windy seems to be very quickly incorporating these local weather phenomena into their depictions, so we’ll see how precise it becomes later on. Just during the past week or so there have been many multiple changes in wind direction and intensity, and Windy has managed to plot all them out very well. A vast improvement over the NOAA text and audio based descriptions that also lack general time periods when the wind is going to switch and intensify. I do not own a large fishing boat that can brute force it’s way through anything over 30 knots, so I have to play by the rules the wind lays out for me. Windy has vastly improved my planning for weather headed my way. Very surprised Windy is as good as others have said it is, and very happy with this free service. It is rapidly gaining popularity among the commercial fleet here in Alaska.

Ruined by the latest update!. I’ve used Windy for years (as a paid premium user) for planning sailing passages. After the most recent update, it’s a nightmare to use. To compare wind forecasts from multiple models, now I have to pan around the map, then, within six seconds, click “show forecast “, then switch to display wind at the bottom of the screen (it doesn’t remember this choice from one interaction to the next). Then pan around to see another location. In the previous version, I could simply tap any location on the map, use the drop-down arrow to select wind display. Done. Then tap anyplace on the map, to view another location, and again etc to view wind “evolution” along a sailing path. Used to love Windy. Hate the new interface, so now I’m desperately looking for a replacement.

No more useless weather apps. This weather app is extremely accurate. It allows you to read the ozone layers, wind gusts, rain accumulation, and more. When there’s lightening, it vibrates your phone at every strike all over the world. It shows all the hurricanes circling up in swirls, where condensation gathers, and so much more. You won’t miss out on any type of weathers on this app. If you know how to read the wind, you’ll learn to pinpoint where tornadoes can occur, when funnels disappears, and reform elsewhere. This app is highly recommended, and I had my wife, my mother, and other people download the app. I taught them how to use, read, and pinpoint. Thank you for creating this app. We praise the team who created Windy.

The perfect weather app—almost. I started using Windy about five years ago primarily for boating on the inland passage in the Pacific Northwest. It was a great adjunct to other resources and it quickly became my go to weather app. I have enjoyed watching it improve over the past five years. The capabilities are almost endless. I have not even scratched the surface of many of the features and layers. The only negative is the last upgrade is unstable and will frequently crash for no apparent reason. The people at Wendy seem proactive and are interested in keeping things in good working order so I hope this will resolve soon.

Most accurate weather app out there!. I’ve been using the Windy app for about 3 years now and no other app pales in comparison. The fact that you actually get access to multiple forecast models including the European model is quite phenomenal as it’s not offered on many (if any) other weather applications. Many of my friends have come to think I’m some sort of weather guru as I’m always warning them when the wind is going to be kicking up. We live in an area with quite a few trees so being a step ahead as well as warning friends and family is always a good thing. Keep up the stellar work!

Best map of NYC. We love Windy. It's beautiful and though we din't understand most of what's in it and the interface is non-intuitive, that's fine because it is a really serious map for people who are knowledgeable about weather — which we are not. But, we love having perfectly fresh information and, living in New York City, we are thrilled by one feature of the map which we have not found in google apps or Apple maps or anybody else's maps — the street numbers of the buildings! Saves us from the annoying experience of coming out of the subway only to find we are walking the wrong way down the street. Wonderful!

So bad it can actually be harmful. Just sat through YET ANOTHER severe weather event the windy app gave no heads up about. Major thunderstorm, torrential downpour, regional flood advisories and what heads up did windy give? Nada! In fact it predicted no precipitation, no thunder storm and showed partly sunny as it’s weather forecast. DO. NOT. USE. This app could get someone killed. Fortunately I have other apps such as Weather Channel which did alert about this and was accurate. And this is far from the first time this app has failed to indicate bad weather, it’s “accuracy” is so bad that I can’t consider this app anything more than a toy, something from a Cracker Jack box. Use at your peril Update per developer response: making excuses about the different models being at fault is sickening and outright reckless. This is a clear case of “Garbage in Garbage Out” the Devs knowingly supply garbage data and happily let their users suffer the consequences — hopefully after paying for “premium” of course. The Dev response should alarm anyone as it only confirms my review and statement that this app is dangerous and should not be used. I’ll be following up with Apple Store Support since I don’t think an app with such potential for real life harm should be allowed on the store

Storm Recovery. Since the Weather Channel ruined the Storm app, I turned to Windy to get the wind animation and multi-city forecasts that I was accustomed to. Windy provides all that I seek in a weather app, and more. It did take time to find things, and my iPad version still will only show 3 overlay options, but lots of other display choices I do not care about and did not select in the same column of choices. Once I (accidentally) found the meteograms I am fascinated, but wish there was some place to learn what the detailed meaning. I also wish that front symbols would be able to display with temperatures, wind, or rain. I find the thunderstorm info distracting and wish I could turn it off.

Excellent app. This app is wonderful for planning and for knowing what’s going on outside. The various layers are super-helpful for Flight planning as well. The simple and intuitive interface is very user friendly. I like that one can get as detailed as they want, with meteograms, etc. Before it was changed, I used to use the Storm app as a supplement, because it showed surface prog charts and storm tracks. Those would be two layers that this app could benefit from ASAP. The other Change I would make would be to be able to place several layers on at once (cloud base and CAPE, for example).

So Close To The Only Weather App You’ll Need. I have used Windy for over a year and value it enough to subscribe to the premium level. It is worth the annual fee and a 5-Star rating except for one single missing feature. The app is very flexible and powerful. With a selections from the menu a user can see anything from from a simple local forecast to see the long term trends in an area. If you are a pilot, surfer, or someone who really wants a deep dive in to important aspects of the weather that is easily available too. Also important - Windy accurately forecasts the weather. It even allows you to chose from several forecasting models should you believe a particular model is more accurate. Yet all of the flexibility provides some frustration, and judging by the forum, many other users. Windy seems to have a single default view that applies to all users. So then each time we open the app we have to remember and find all of the menus selections to display the weather the individual user wants. It takes a minute or two to get this set so no big deal - but then again this is required every time a user opens the app. If Windy allowed a user to set a default view this would solve that issue and then from my perspective, be the only weather app I need.

The best weather app out there. I was a huge fan of Storm from WeatherUnderground and hadn't checked out the other options recently, but when The Weather Channel killed Storm and replaced it with a mediocre weather channel version I had a look at the other options and was very happy to find Windy. It's so much much better than the others, let me count (a few of) the ways: You can pick your forecast model! And then compare the different models to see where they differ! That to me is a game changer. The timeline along the bottom is so great to see how pressure and fronts will move - I feel like I've learned a lot just by using the app. The many layer options are great - set it for what you want to see and don't be distracted by what you don't. And of course the wind animation options make for a visually appealing interface. Seeing how the different altitude winds are moving and changing is so useful and interesting. I'd gladly pay money for this app, there are just so many great things to say about it. And if all you want is a sun, a cloud, or an umbrella for where you live that's there for you too. I was bummed when Storm was killed off but am so happy to have found this great app.

Premium offer does not work. App is great! I thought I should support the developers because I use it all the time so I opted for the premium version. I would rate it 5 stars but for the problems I had activating the premium features. To activate the premium subscription one needs to login through the Windy app. However, I created my account years ago on the web, and the app did not recognize my login credentials so there was no way to “activate” my premium subscription. I tried numerous times using different paths, changing passwords, etc but could not get it to work. However, the next day I tried again and it was successful. I don’t know what happened, but I am happy with the app.

Windy Weather. I have found Windy to be one of the best weather apps available. I particularly like the ability to view four different weather models, and to look forward several days with the predictions. A few suggestions: It would be nice if you could see both the selected menu item AND the particular legend. Currently, after you select a specific item, I.e. rain accumulation, you have to X out of the menu before the ledge down come up at the bottom. It would be nice if you could see both at the same time and just circulate between menu items. The font is pretty small at the bottom...great data, but have a look at the formatting....in some cases things are impossible to read since they are overlapping, such as cloud altitudes. Rain vs. Snow accumulation.......it’s confusing. Looks to be the same physical accumulation data, but we know inches of snow isn’t inches of water.... Would be nice to be able to zoom the map like all other apps........instead of just having several different fixed scales. This is a wonderful app, and I encourage you to keep making it better. Thanks.

Hands Down The Best Weather App. I have tried just about every weather app there is. But now I have found a keeper. Most of the others are either to hard to navigate, too cluttered and way too many adds. This one is so well laid out. It is easy to navigate and has everything you want in a weather app. It has satellite, radar, wind , cloud cover , thunderstorms and even snow accumulations for the winter months. You name it is there. I am using the free version and you are not bombarded with adds or them asking you too upgrade. Give this app a try and you will be glad you did

Rain accumulation feature. I recently used the Windy app and overall, I absolutely loved it. The app was very user-friendly and had a lot of features that proved to be extremely useful in planning my outdoor activities. However, there is one major issue that I came across after the recent update. It seems that the app has removed access to rain accumulation updates, even for the next 3 days. This was quite disappointing as I found this feature to be very informative and helpful in planning my day or week ahead. As a result, I recently deleted the Windy app from my phone. While I appreciate all of the features and capabilities that the app offers, it simply wasn't necessary for me at this point in time. Despite this, I would still highly recommend the Windy app to anyone who is looking for a reliable weather app. Its accuracy and detailed information on wind speeds, temperature, pressure, and more are truly impressive,

Great app for all weather lovers!!!. This is one of my favorite free weather apps. It’s not just winds, which as a weather lover and sailor is wonderful, it has an awesome radar system. Shows lightning strikes that light up, wind and gusts, cloud cover, and a great real-time/future option for wind, jet streams, and tropical storms! So many options that took me a while to realize it had. Like GFS and Euro models for future weather and hurricanes. Honestly my number one go to for storm watching and 99% of all my weather information needs. Have turned probably hundreds of people like me on to this app! Keep it going because ya’ll are doing everything right!!!!

Best weather app ever. Honestly I never review apps, because at best most are simply acceptable for their designed purpose. This app, however, is worth mentioning, in that it is easily the most comprehensive (not to mention accurate) weather resource you can put on your phone, with a super intuitive interface, and greater functionality in the free version than you can get in all other paid weather apps I’m aware of. Furthermore, and almost most importantly to me, this app is basically ad-free, and doesn’t bloat up your phone with unnecessary and invasive adware the way most others do. Simply put, this app is exceptional, fantastic on all levels, and something that I will eventually pay for simply to support. Kudos and thanks to Ivo & the team for making this app a reality. Weather geeks (professional or otherwise,) do yourself a favor and download this one. It’s really a beautiful thing.

Great app but…. My phone generally has location services switched off for a number of reasons. As far as Windy is concerned that means my apple watch always reports on “Praha”, useless as I am in Sydney. There is no option to define a default location, at least not one that works. This is a major shortcoming as I am interested to frequently check the conditions at favourite fishing spots elsewhere…

Packed with a LOT of useful information - the best. Don’t waste your time with other weather apps. If you learn how to analyse the information given and there is a lot, you will realise this is the most accurate weather app available, period. The graphics are 10/10.

Should have left it the way it was. Windy was great before last major update. This is an example of what can happen when people are given the job to improve something that doesn’t need improvement and now it’s worse.

Best weather app. As a farmer I keep a close eye on the weather and this is by far the best weather app I’ve ever used. So much information and models at your fingertips in one place on one app! Great stuff thank you to all the team at windy for making this app! Keep it up!

Terrific. An excellent app, replaces another weather app which was good until their updates got rid of the wind map. This app is terrific and I recommend it above all others. Well done! App appears to have failed I am just getting a white screen Help! Updated iPad system app now works great Well done Windy

Valuable. With it being integrated into electronic flight bags like AVPLAN EFB, it is a Valuable tool to provide exceptional situational awareness for aviation weather and flight planning. Also my go to app for windsurfing. Ability to switch between source modelling algorithms provides a visual “average “ for long range planning.

App Problems. Hi Windy! Love the app but did the latest update and all I see is rainbow colours going down the screen. I’ve deleted and reinstalled the app and it hasn’t helped. I run the latest iso and latest update for you. Please help!

Widget for iOS 14. It’s a great app; however, after I updated it to the latest version, it’s widget doesn’t work anymore saying that it doesn’t support this type of widget and asking me to install the one for iOS14, but it used to work fine before I updated the app to the latest version. From iPhone 12 mini iOS 14.2

I love this app. The best weather app I have ever used. I have been using it on my pc since it was released and was really thankful when the app became available. We get a lot of thunderstorms where I live and this app is great for monitoring their progress and how bad they might be. There are a heap of great features and I highly recommend this app. Thank you Windy! Very much appreciated! A1 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟

Very user friendly.. Very accurate with real-time info on what the weather is doing, gives you more than enough info to choose when to go fishing or boating. I would highly recommend this.

Windy is Awesome!. Almost the perfect app for me, my only issue is that it loses its value once you subscribe to premium unless you depend on it for work. I think if you could work out what the average subscription term is and provide a one off lifetime premium purchase based off that data, I’d see value in that for me personally. Still a genuine great free app

The best way to view weather data. I’m a weather forecaster and have been using Windy for years now to check weather forecast model info, it’s the best looking, and easiest to use web page and app I’ve ever used! Great work!

Windy. This is the best weather app. We recommend it to all our customers in a tourism destination for boating, fishing, snorkeling etc. If you added live footage, it would be even more awesome! People aren’t aware of all the features that include swell, rain, cloud cover etc, but when we tell them they love it even more. It is THE BEST.

Great app but one more little fix please. Your latest update with the menu icon moved in easy reach of my thumb. But the menu close button is still out of reach at the top of the screen. Maybe swipe to close would work. Otherwise this is the best. I use it with my flying app. Top stuff.

Best Weather App Ever Invented. Too many good things to say about this app. I don’t have the space or the time to list them. So detailed, so accurate. If you need to know what is happening weather wise wherever you are currently or are planning to go this is the app to get!

Great but disappointed in Premium. As a free tool, Windy is fantastic. Because I use it most days, I upgraded to Premium. Although you get better hourly resolution on the forecasts, the satellite resolution is still not anywhere near as detailed as some other paid platforms. Also, it’d be nice to be able to overlay kmls, GPX tracks etc on the iOS apps - this is currently only available on non mobile devices. Otherwise, hands down the best free weather tool out there.

Mesmerising and instructive. This app is mainly for those interested in wind speed and direction but gives so very much more and on a global scale with quite accurate forecasts over 7 days. Watch cyclones form and follow their paths, see where the pollution is, where rain is gathering, how wind circles lows and highs and lots more, the world over. A hot favourite with me, an ex yachty!

Great Weather Application - more than just wind. Windy is quick and easy to use. You can store your favourite locations for quick reference and get detailed reports if necessary.

Best weather app ever. If you’re serious about knowing what the weather is doing and what it will be, you need this app. Even the free version provides more information than any other weather app. We travel around Australia full time with a caravan/travel trailer and knowing what the wind will be doing and what direction it will come from is a huge safety feature for us. If I could change anything it would be more functionality for the Apple Watch.

Best weather app ever!. Wow what an awesome app I highly recommend it to everyone you can look at when storms etc will hit your location and can see in advance over the few days ahead too. Do yourself a favour and download the app.

Great app until you changed interface. App was great until you changed the interface now it not user friendly. Preferred tapping on location to get forecast details in bar below. Very cumbersome to use as no clear hotspot to hit to get further info. When i finally found you tap the top of screen to get forecast the location keeps shifting to where you tap. Fix it please back the way it was.

Use it daily. The best first-look app for assessing weather and wind, with the ability to dive deeper if needed. Use it every day for paragliding. New version has hobbled some use ability but I still think it’s the best. Hoping they listen to feedback and fix some interface issues in next version.

Living on the Island. Living in Tasmania is unique. It’s different because of the authenticity of the weather. The wind. The clearness of atmosphere right around this beautiful island, that I sometimes take for granted.I am reminded by all we are offered. As we journey on this island it appears starkly different in its natural beauty of sublime landscapes and coast. It is a gift that we should treasure and nurture for coming generations. A pleasure in this world. Dr Peter Willans

Helping us with the new normal. My city and surrounding towns are currently suffering terrible air pollution due to all the bushfires in Australia- this app has been a great way to monitor the smoke levels we are being subjected to and allows us to plan our days for inside and outside activities- thanks!

The most complete weather app. By far the most complete weather app on the market. From filters to webcams of various locations you can get a pretty god sense of the weather no matter the requirement. One small think that could be included are moon phases and tidal data.

Easy learning. I love the windy ap it allows me to instantly see what the weather is doing This makes me feel more in charge of my decisions - and I’m learning about the planet I live on all the time thanks windy ap

The best weather app by far!. Thank you to the producers of this amazing weather app, it has to be the best and most informative app that I have ever used. I am still learning how to use it day by day, And I still keep finding stuff every time I use it... just watching wind, lightning and thunder and rain layers fascinates me to no end, thanks again...

Accurate for my open water fishing. Being able to compare 3 models is a great help in getting reliable, location specific forecasts a few days ahead, am able to get more boat days than ever before. Thanks

Packed with useful features. Over the years I tried many Weather Apps but Windy is way ahead. I discovered analytical features I didn’t know existed and still surprises me

Outstanding weather app. The most comprehensive weather app available. This is for anyone serious about getting accurate weather information. Packed full of features and overlays. It is just brilliant.

Weather forecast. Most accurate forecast of when to expect weather which is important for my work. I can almost pick the minute we get the first drop thanks to this app 🤙🏼 From Dunsborough

Good graphics. Disappointed that extend days forecast removed. Very good graphics and accurate forecasts. However disappointing that extended days forecast has been removed from free version of the app

Gotta have it now I’ve got it!. I didn’t think a weather app would be so useful, but living in Rural NSW and enduring the non-summer of ‘19-‘20 with bushfires, smoke, hail and everything but the biblical plague of locusts, the Windy app enabled me to track the specific weather conditions pertaining to each threat as they developed. I can honestly say it was literally a life saver for me. Planning a bushfire contingency plan and then being able to execute it as the conditions developed kept both property and people safe. Can’t do without it now!

World wide results. This app is the best I have used by far. I use it throughout the world for work and recreation purposes and the results are so accurate that I make my final go/no go decisions on the results. Have and would recommend it to anyone.

This has got to be one of the best weather apps available. Read this Apple - this app works, it just works like Apple of old used to just work. If only all apps were like this. Wind at various altitudes, weather, metars, ocean currents, local weather, storms, lightning strikes, it's all there and then some. Highly recommended.

Was great but 10 day forecast & 1hr detail now removed from free version!. This was my favourite weather app with 5 forecast models (& ability to compare these) in a clear graphical display. I would normally give 5 stars but in the latest version they have removed the 10 day forecast from the free version, requiring a subscription to view the data. Not happy! UPDATE: disappointing you can’t offer a cheaper/shorter “trial” subscription for a month, still lamenting your reduction of functionality to Crippleware, I relaunch this app now & then and am reminded why I’m using other apps that don’t want money forever. Goodbye.

Windy review. This is an excellent and thorough app on the weather it is fine as it is. I don’t even use half of its capabilities. I’ve tried to down load the updated version without success. I can’t remember my password and am unable to successfully create a new one. Please don’t abolish this version. You’re a legend. I am happy to make a donation for its retention.

Great planning tool. fly a plane. Windy gives me reliable information for planning many days ahead of official forecasts. The cloud, storm &winds at selectable altitudes is fantastic. I still get approved forecasts on the day but Windy gives me advance information.

World Class. Has to be my favorite app. Just keeps getting better and better. All other weather sites are playing catch up to Windy. Keep up the great work.

Love this app, and it keeps getting better!. I live in a city famous for changeable weather. I like to fish, kayak, ride bikes, and just spend time outdoors. This app gives me more accurate info than anything else. Incredibly dense and detailed information in an interface that still looks gorgeous. And now tides! I love you guys!

Awesome none better. Very comprehensive combining so many data sources including air quality and emissions Only thing missing is access to local monitoring stations but this would globally a massive task. Well done windy team! Keep up the good work

Why Windy works for us. Our first task each morning is to check the wind forecast. It’s the alternative to a diary when a boat is your home. We love Windy. Along with the important extended wind forecasts we depend on, we can also enjoy the other features that are unique to Windy. It’s easy to check what’s happening interstate so you can be envious or relieved. The display is beautiful and enjoyable to interact with. The longer forecasts may of course change but it’s enjoyable to at least anticipate options. The multi dimensional indicators using colour, movement and the numerical pointer make for a lively interface. Thanks Windy. Life aboard has been a little brighter since we found you. From Russell and Katrina

Top app of all times. This is getting better and better. I did ask if local weather warnings (for Australia) can be added, but I realise it would be monumental task getting every weather service in the world provide same level of detail. Apart from that, by far, this is one of the all time top apps ever created. The magnitude (global), the detail, the reliability exceeds every expectation. Thank you.

Getting the Big Picture. I use a range of specialist weather tools and cross reference data between the sources; I find that Windy is great for looking at some historic data, current conditions and predictions up to several days ahead. I use Windy every day.

Better forecast accuracy. I find Windy to be more accurate in my Melbourne area than Willy Weather. I conduct several checks on different apps and internet before deciding to go fishing and boating, but Windy is generally more correct than anything else 👍👍

The go-to weather app. The first place I go when assessing weather conditions- long term, wide area or very specific. I mostly use Windy for wind conditions for paragliding, but it's valuable for all manner of activities and weather. It's the most trustworthy of all the models I've tried, but like all of them, you need to how to interpret the data for specific locations and conditions.

Brilliant app that just keeps getting better. This app is amazing and I’ve used it for two years to predict weather on the ocean. When every other app is wrong, Windy is right. Thanks to the developer and his team for producing such a detailed and accurate app, your work is very much appreciated.

Fantastic 😉👍🏼. Such a great app. Used mainly for flying light aircraft. Has been so beneficial to myself and others. We all love it and been using in regularly. All features are very user friendly. Thank you to all involved in creating this extremely handy app. 👌🏼😘👍🏼

Wild Windy. Groundbreaking modelling. Accuracy is next level. Aesthetically pleasing to the neurones. Set a benchmark with forecasting that none of the surf forecasting providers have been able to keep up with. Different stratosphere. Always proof read my surf predictions with the graphics on windy before planning a day on the ocean. Blessings

I was never a weather nerd... until now.. Absolutely terrific, I was never interested in knowing much more about the weather besides if I should wear sleeves or not. However since finding this app I have become fascinated by it, i’ve spent hours comparing pressure zones, deciphering airgrams and learning about snow densities. Thanks for uncovering a interest I never realised I had! A excellent way to learn. Perhaps the educational market could be an approach. thanks!

Keep Accessible. Well I have been enjoying the Windy App for many years until you’ve decided to make the most basic features only accessible to those that upgrade! Looking at the upgrade features isn’t even worth the cost. These forecasts models are really useful to have and only making them available to those who upgrade is really disappointing! I’ve been very impressed with your app and have always recommended it to others, until now! I couldn’t write a review with less than 2 stars???

Hmm. It was good until a month ago. Temperature differences 10 - 15 degrees ????

Goodish. Although I like the app they need to implement Apple standard to sign up so I can use hide my email.

Windy wonderful. I have been a practising professional meteorologist for over 40 years with the Canadian Armed Forces (sea, land, and air), the Meteorological Service of Canada, and with the private sector as a consultant. Positions I have held include Manager of the Ottawa Regional Weather Forecast Centre, and subsequently Director of Aviation and Defence Services providing all aviation weather services to Nav Canada and all weather and oceanographic services to Canada’s military. Retired now and an avid cyclist and outdoors person, I use Windy daily for all my weather needs no matter where on the globe I may happen to be and as the main tool in providing personalized forecasts to friends and family scattered over the globe. It is a superb global weather data and forecast outputs visualization tool. It integrates numerous data sets from numerous countries seemlessly via an extremely intuitive user interface. Data sets such as precipitation from weather radars and strikes from lightning networks are combined into a common multi-national map background that one can scale easily. Ditto for most orbiting weather satellites. It pulls in 3-D numerical weather model outputs from numerous major modelling centres and provides tools to view multiple output fields overlaid onto scalable maps or in tables covering time spans, the vertical dimension, or surface outputs from multiple models together for comparison. In a word, it blows away the tools presently on most professional weather forecasters desks in major national weather services and private sector firms and, best of all, it is FREE!

Weather junkie. I’m a weather junkies. We live in the Arctic, where weather is unpredictable and following this app for wind and rain patterns us my go to!

Windy iOS app. Excellent app, shows all the information you need including wildfires.

One of the best weather apps, but have a recommendation.. This is the main app I use to find weather info for not only my area, but globally. The only recommendation is to make the weather radar display different colors for different types of precipitation such as blue for snow and pink for freezing rain and ice pellets.

New update. after i installed the new update i can't find windy between widgets..nor can i add them to the lock screen..please fix this

Why. Good weather forecast just sad how they took out the arrows for the wind 😡

Awesome and thorough. I go offshore west coast vancouver island and rely on Windy forecast and weather and found Windy to be most reliable and accurate!!!!!

Excellent at both Simple or Complex. I’m a kayak commuter and my life depends on Windy. Gives a 7-day snapshot of key factors, or you can dig deep. Does wind, swell, temperature, and lots more. Amazingly accurate on rain, in 3 hour windows. It is my most trusted, favourite and most accurate weather app.

Made the app worse on purpose. They made it so that you have to pay to see a 10 day forecast when it was free before. I will no longer be updating the app as they are actively working against their own users.

I’m happy with it. Happy happy with windy

Fuseau horaire. Bonjour, Est-il possible de modifier le fuseau horaire pour Baie-Johan-Beetz au Québec? Il est à l’heure avancée alors qu’il devrait être à l’heure normale de l’est. Merci! Bonne journée

Used to be good, now near useless. Windy used to be great. I used it for years for high level surveying. Recent changes has made this program absolute junk. I can no longer recommend it, or even use it. Sad, that they made such poor decisions that they ruined a really good idea in short order. They should fire the people who implemented the changes over the last two years. These people know nothing about GIS or weather. I am a GIS professional and scientists, and this app is now junk.

Windy. Awesome site,Just Awesome.

Don’t like new ui. Don’t know what it is but I really don’t like the new UI. I’ll get used to it eventually I guess. My use of the app has decreased with the new ui for sure though. Will have to see if I keep my subscription.

Why?!?!. The app used to be my favourite weather app, until Feb 6 2023, when they made the advanced features locked for free users, unless paying either 25$ a year for a subscription or 40$ a year to buy without subscription. Make the old features free again, and I will think about redownloading. Until then, you can say goodbye to your favourite user. - sincerely, Parker

Windy. Does everything weather wise

Stripping away features. They are now removing features to force you to subscribe. They’ll slowly restrict anything useful using this method until it’s worthless. Terrible business model.

Why I believein Windy. The only weather related app and site that shows the actual weather systems and realtime conditions, and based on their relative movement accurately prdicts how these conditions will interact and shape the weather ahead with any degree of accuracy. Also no hype to generate traffic to the website as some sites do, thereby allowing those site to generate revenue through advertising on the site.

Snow depth. Just wondering why my new phone has no snow depth shown on app. Do I have to pay subscription to get it back ? Just wondering do not want to pay if it’s not available. Thank you

Booo Premium. Automatically updated and once free services are now premium only. Classless.

Look out. Watch out for pop up that locks your screen forcing a reboot

Outstanding!. Incredibly entertaining, informative, and exciting app to use. With so many features I often lose track of time just playing around with this app! And the traffic cameras are awesome!!

Truck driver. the best application ever, I use it a lot in my work to be able to plan my trip, I would recommend it to everyone because it is reliable 👍👍👍👍👍

Loving it. Very helpful, quick easy reference . Thanks

What happened to Windy???. This used to be such a great app. Unfortunately at every turn Windy.com is trying to take more and more money from its subscribers. Not to mention the sale of subscribers emails to junk mail spammers. A new email to test this theory was made and sure enough I’m getting emails soliciting sex and also foreign wives. Not to mention the scammers. What happened to the good ol days of ads and user donations? I would gladly watch ads to have Windy back.

Fantastic app. This app is simply outstanding. The wide range of features is amazing, and it satisfies the amateur meteorologist in me. I've been recommending it to everyone I know The first time in 15 years of using the App Store that I've felt compelled to write a review. Well worth it.

Restricting the free version. Restricting the 10 day forecast for free users is a greedy move. Utterly disappointed. Bring it back

Love this app. Especially the nice meteogram display. Compact and efficient, clearly shows temps and pressure trends, cloud cover, precipitation. Oh did I mention it’s also accurate? All that’s missing is the nicely Interpolated radar maps from the now defunct dark sky. Monetization is unobtrusive and very reasonable, a rare thing nowadays.

Application très utile. Demeurant sur le bord du St-Laurent à St-Laurent-de-l’île-d’Orléans, les informations sont pratiquement toujours exactes. Celles-ci sont très utiles pour la préparation de randonnées en bateau.

Best app ever. Easily the best app I have ever downloaded— so many amazing layers. So many layers that no other app is needed related to anything having to do with any natural occurrences. It’s more than just weather; it’s an all-inclusive app that has everything that anyone could ever need about safety pertaining to natural occurrences (for example, fires and waves).

Widget doesn't work after update. Today view page widget not showing up Reinstalling doesn't work

For pilot helicopter. Best site for winds conditions

Ocean voyaging. Using windy to guide us on 2 trans Atlantic sailing trips.?5?stars!

Great app for boating. One of the most accurate wind forecasts for boating on Georgian Bay

Too Good for the Human Race. There is no way to truly appreciate this in one lifetime. Excellent app

GREAT APP!. Great app but needs more Widgets!! Particularly the smaller square one for the iPhone! Will give 5 stars for more widgets, but won’t be paying for it!

Learning. I find this to be my best weather app and accuracy is fair. Comparing forecasts across a number of apps gives me the best rural forecast. I have found windy to be the most accurate and I appreciate that past weather is not deleted as soon as “now” passes in time. This allows me to see what occurred overnight, upon waking. I would like if there was instructions or a tutorial as I am not able to use many of the features. Kindly, Brad Interlake MB Canada 🇨🇦

Very informative. If you’re really into weather, this is the app for you.

New UI. The new user interface is awkward and difficult to use on the go without reading glasses. Don’t use Windy much anymore

App crash. Since the last update, the app is crashing. Even if I restart it, there's nothing to do

Good except.... The constant haptec lightning pulses cannot be turned off. Irritating! Cancelled subscription.

This WAS my favourite weather app. Now you have to pay an asinine amount of money to see what the sky looked like more than 2 hours ago! Such a massive disappointment. Not sure if it's ignorance, greed or what but it's a huge blow to those who used the app to help learn about the weather and don't have extra money to burn on random subscriptions! Thanks a lot 👍

$$$. When this app first came out it was free now you can’t get the long range forecast unless you pay the money 👎

Appears to have unacknowledged data breach. Used a unique email address to register and now get never ending spam. Clear there was a data breach. Contacted the developer multiple and received no response.

Windy great windy good. Really enjoy the app. Use it for surf forecasting and storm watching/prep as we live in a very storm impacted zone. As a tool to help make our own plans and predictions it is very helpful. As a way to forecast surf it’s awesome as well. I’ve learned long ago that the surf forecasting apps don’t accurately predict the surf so this one is great as it just gives the numbers and no thoughts on them.

Awesome... mesmerizing.. Easily one of the very slickest weather app out there. Nice work team!!!

Windyty short review.. Windyty is awesome!!! Hardcore 5 stars!! It helps me fish, hunt, plan my kayaking and mountain biking trips so as the amount of snow for snowmobiling and skiing. It’s such a precise application on wind speed, gusts, temperature and even the amount of snow on the ground and it’s density. Sick app, try it out!

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

All good - was: Latest update does not work anymore. This was my original review: “I just installed the latest update, and on my iPhone X with latest version of iOS, the app hangs on the splash screen. I’ve tried to kill the app and restart multiple times, let it sit for several minutes, but it never gets passed the splash screen.” I have now rebooted my phone, and Windy comes up again. It’s a beautiful app - just as it was prior to the update.

Great planning tool for pilots. Some of the outputs like cloud base forecasts for multiple days out I can only get from here and not the NWS! Map is really solid. The meteogram visualization is particularly useful too. I used Windy for free for a long time and finally signed up for the Pro subscription when they paywalled the 11 day forecasts. Worth the money, which is saying something when I already pay for ForeFlight and there’s so much other free government provided weather info out there.

Always wrong.. As usual I look at this app and it is completely wrong. Right now it’s storming and I went to look at how big of a storm it was and the forecast for the day. It says clear sky’s all the way through... as I’m in a lighting and thunder storm. Also it forecasts storms and they don’t happen but on a day they have marked as 0% precipitation, it’s the only day in months I’ve had rain. The only thing I like about this app is that it shows camera views of local streets. I see other reviews where people love the app. Maybe it’s just my location? Not sure but it isn’t accurate for me.

The amazing App. It is rare one comes across an app that is so both Useful and Entertaining! Looking all over and watching how the atmosphere can do such amazing things with the weather and the wind reminds us that we are at the mercy of forces greater than we can imagine! I showed it to a Maine fisherman who spent many years fishing on the Grand Banks and now fishes more near shore. When I gave him the link I said while you are out there look what Windy says and then what you observe. He is an old school guy but now a believer in Windy!

Excellent!! Best weather App there is!!. Living in North Carolina and having a place in the Florida Keys I’m always concerned about hurricanes. This app is my go to app and is great because it has three different models. It has unfortunately been right with both Irma last year and Florence this year. It started showing the correct tracks as much as four and five days out because you can click between the different models. I use this app Wunderground and Mike’s weather page. Also they continuously add improvements.

You must produce a user guide. You really need to produce a user’s guide for people who know nothing about the technical aspects of weather. You must cover every detail of your app, from step one. For instance, how do I change the clock from a 24-hour one to a regular one? How do I see relative humidity hourly? How do I see “feels like” temperature hourly? What time will it start to rain or snow? Where are your stations? Cover all the options for layers. I suspect your app is a good one, but only those who know the technicalities will know that unless you explain everything in grammatical English for everyone. Thank you.

Good so but “loses” premium settings and functionality periodically. I have been paying for the premium version of this app for several years now, the problem is that even though I am logged in, I don’t get the premium functionality like being able to specify the settings at so start up and hourly forecasts. The support has been black box: it gets fixed but no explanation of why or how things have run amuck. Would love to be able to zoom out to a global view like some other apps. I use this app in interior locations chiefly to assess wind conditions at various regional airports

Simply the best. This is my favorite weather tool. The radar and lightning depiction are really convenient to use. The true power of this incredible weather app is in its ability to show 4 different forecast models. It is easy to use the forecasts and compare any time in the future amongst models to see if there is a consensus among them. There are so many more features that I can’t even get into here. But let’s suffice it to say that if your plans involve the outdoors at all you need this app.

No app better. I live in South Louisiana. Hurricane Delta was projected to basically come through my front door. This app 8 days prior showed a different path. It shows the path the storm is actually taking. I don’t know how this app new something different than the national weather service did or does but I’m glad. I feel sorry for those that will suffer from this storm. Although I know it’s selfish to say but I’m glad it’s me and my family in danger.

A great resource for anyone who experienced weather in planet earth. Can’t say enough good stuff about Windy. I rely on it for wind, wave, storm, tide and temperature forecasts and up-to-date radar and satellite info that “just works” without annoying loading issues that some other apps have. Access to ECMWF model forecasts has been invaluable. The way the data is visualized is extremely helpful too. Great job Windy team.

Windy’s Accuracy and Marine Application. Having free access to Windy has significantly improved the safety and enjoyment of sailing for my wife and I. We didn’t have the budget for a subscription weather forecasting application and have relied on Windy forecasts exclusively to sail 1200 miles to Puerto Vallarta. Studying the changes in airpressure, wind velocity and direction; and the resulting wave and cloud cover forcasts has greatly improve our understanding of the effects of airpressure on weather conditions at sea and thus safety. Our experience comparing forecasted with actual conditions has found Windy to be extremely accurate.

Update, Developer answered. I found the updated program no where near as good or user friendly as the previous versions. Developer does not agree. I see there has been a measurable downturn in satisfaction in the reviews since the update. I hope you are monitoring and bring back what was an excellent program. Being able to click on an area and watch the numbers change as it looks into the future was a plus of the older build. Click the down arrow and you got the graph for the chosen area. Simple, useful. I used it multiple times a day under sail. It was a great program.

The BEST!!. We live on an outer island in the San Juan Islands of Washington state. The only way on and off our island is with a boat or a float plane. Knowing what the weather and winds are going to do is essential to our safety and the safety of our boats. We have found that Windy is the most reliable and consistently correct weather app we have used so far. We downloaded it in September, it is now March, and only once was Windy incorrect. ONLY ONCE! Pretty darned good! Windy, keep up the good work! You are keeping us safe and happy!!

Great Map and App. My family wife and daughter live in the Philippines. For now. Your app really let me be able to keep track of the weather there. As I worry about them so much. Especially because in order for us to get to our house on Daram, Samar we have to travel by boats. I love the way it predicts and shows current conditions of the waves and wind because we travel on pump boats and can become dangerous in high winds and heavy to high waves. Any way i just wanted to thank you for putting out such a good app. Daddy

Mariner’s best weather tool. I live in Southeast Alaska, home of notoriously hard to forecast weather. Windy has become the weather forecasting tool of choice for myself and many other professional mariners that depend on accurate weather predictions to make their way safely in Alaska’s coastal waters year around. Windy’s forecast data resolution & choices of its presentation are absolutely excellent! Thank you for creating a tool that provides the insight we need to travel safely in an unforgiving environment!

Windy thoughts. Windy is by far the best weather app. I found it a few years ago, and never even thought of another. It has so much to give , and it is accurate. I even learned some cool weather and related atmospheric stuff. I rely on it for wind especially, as a boat owner, and the tide forecasts, and access to multiple models, and it came in handy to see what smoke the Canadians turned loose on us last year. It honestly took me awhile to get hooked, but only because there are so many options.

Great for strong storm forecast. I am on the gulf coast. I have other apps for storm and tornado tracking within the hour. I use this app to track cold fronts, tropical storms, and hurricanes. This is the only app I have found which maps air pressure, which is the key metric for hurricane direction and intensity. Being able to determine the storm type, ie cold front vs tropical storm lets me know if I need to secure outdoor furniture against strong winds, or cancel outdoor events for the next 3 days. I love how I can compare eu vs USA weather models for hurricane paths.

Amazing. Best weather app ever. If all you need to know is the temp and whether it is raining then use this OR any other weather app you can find.....they all do the job. But if you want to understand weather, the complete story, the many many layers of our atmosphere (literal and figurative) in rich detail, if you want the Whole story of our atmosphere this amazing app is what you want. Be patient and explore, this is not a toy but the real multifaceted story of our atmosphere. This is a truly amazing app.

Love this app!. I have a habit of leaving my location off most of the time to save battery. I noticed when I press the home button it would show me the location and weather of Suffolk county instead of where I am actually located. Not much of an issue if I just turned my location service on but it would be nice to press the button and see the weather update for my area without my location activated.

Greedy Developers. Last update really upset me. The developers have taken away features that were once free and put them up behind a paywall. Free account no longer includes satellite loops longer than 2 hours or 10 day forecasts. As if I don’t have enough subscriptions in my life. As a longtime user and cheerleader for the app, this is a total let down. I’d pick an ad banner or 30sec commercial on startup over a subscription. The bait and switch is absolutely infuriating. Taking away once free features from loyal customer base is the fastest way to lose market share. What a shame. Deleting this app as soon as I find an alternative.

It’s got slick maps. As for weather data it is terrible. This app consistently reports the wrong current temperature. It has for months. Right now I click on the app and tap the Home button. According to the app it is 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Nope. Not even close. It’s really 27. (I live in a major metro area in the US). If you can’t even display the current temperature accurately, does any other feature even matter? Also, zooming in and out on the temperature map changes the displayed temperature wildly. Zoom in on Dallas, it displays 34 degrees. Zoom out a bit to see the surrounding area, it changes to 30. Zoom out further to see the entire state, it goes back to 34. Totally unacceptable.

New update no good for surfing. I loved using this app to figure out where I was going to surf however the new update make it’s extremely difficult to navigate and see where the swells are going. Please change it back! Further description of feedback: The new crosshairs are not helpful for viewing swell 1, 2 & wind direction. The old version which contained swell 1 & 2 direction/ size/ period and wind speed/ direction were the most ideal format of any surf checking app.

Boat Captain. Excellent surface map and accompanying graphics. Reliability of two day marine forecast is good but long term planning is unreliable after that. Sea surface wind forecasts often completely change after 36-48 hrs. Rarely do I pay attention to any forecast after 3 days out unless it has to do with a coastal low/hurricane event. Obviously, it’s just a forecast and one must look at updated versions as day(s) of concern close in but frankly, I believe forecast so far out ahead are almost for “entertainment “ purposes.

Best weather app available compared to all the others. It takes a little bit to understand all the features but it is the best weather app available. It has way more features than the other apps. I am in agriculture so I check the weather everyday. I have used lots of other apps and this has been the best one. I like the ability to compare the different forecast methods. It allows me to find the middle ground and is extremely accurate. Take the time to learn it and you won’t be sorry.

Robust App. Windy has a ton of information to pull from - standard weather info such as forecasts and live data, as well as richer information and graphics to pinpoint your activity for the day. I use it for snow levels, weekly rain, swell/surf, has even served me very well on several road trips to navigate through conditions (thank you/no thank you to driving through Nebraska during wind events) Highly recommend paid plan to unlock features, well worth the investment.

Comprehensive global weather vizualization. Windy T gives you a view of the weather situation world wide with the ability to pan and zoom right to your neighborhood. Multiple layers of information can be superimposed not only for every aspect of conditions in real time motion, but specifics for activities such as flying, skiing ,sailing etc..You can run forward 10 days to see the future situation. Living in a hurricane zone I can follow any sytem as it approaches and recently the ECMWF model you can use has been uncannily accurate. There is too much to this app to describe here. Try it.

Best out there. Windy is great because you can get a head to head comparison of GFS and the European model. It is also good because it lets you know the age of the model run so you can tell when to expect an update. Yes, it is a bit hard to find some of the features and there are other improvements I would like to see. But for a free app that includes the European model and a lot of useful data it deserves 5 stars.

Garbage. Just like everything in a capitalist society they ruined it. They want you to play this game of create a profile or they’re going to change all your settings to units of measure that you don’t use. Have it all set up and using it for a couple years and all of a sudden they want to play their little game of deleting all your info. so they can go take a long walk off a short cliff.

The best!. I’ve been using this app for years (back when it was a bit clunky and cumbersome to use). But it has come a long way in those years and now it’s a delight to use. This is really the only weather app you need as it has tons of data and displays to look through. I honestly haven’t gone through everything it has yet, but I’m enjoying the journey.

Great App, please remove upgrade banner from premium accounts.. Very good app, but I am a premium subscriber and am annoyed to see a large banner begging me to subscribe covering a lot if the opening map. 1. How do I remove this? 2. Where can I find the premium support the banner promises? Update - thank you for telling me to tap the screen to hide the banner. But, it comes back every time I open the app. On the phone, it takes up a lot of space. Also, tapping on the banner does bring up an article about support, but I do not understand this phrase “Our girls are ready to help you during office hours . . . “ I sort of get the creeps from that.

Windy app. I thoroughly enjoy this app! The app definitely helps us make smarter decisions before traveling. We as a family us it every day. I have my extended family on the app as well. I have also past this app down to all my coast guard friends which love the extended features. Very user friendly and radars are very useful on all scales. I can’t say it enough this app is spectacular!! A must have in my book.

My favorite app. I never leave reviews for apps because I find it time consuming and pointless... but Windy is such a fantastic app (and free nonetheless) that I had no choice but to leave a review. The app is clean, user friendly, information rich, and useful. You can glean hyper deep analytical information as well as very surface level information about any type of weather condition you can think of plus more. Can not recommend enough.

The best app for weather just a change…. Still a few things. One of my favorite apps except the biggest issues is the color of radar. It’s all the same color. I need greens etc for rain and blues etc for snow. My other map I use I can tell. As right now 3 miles away is drizzle but here is snow. Those maps are easy to see the like of precipitation windy all looks like rain or snow. No way to tell apart

Pretty good. Pretty good. I have the premium. My only real issue is as follows. It would be nice to have drop points. When I search one area and try to follow a path I lose my start point on the map. So being able to drop pins would be great. Also having a start and end point would be awesome so I know exactly what’s ahead on my route. Instead of having to search by scrolling along the map the route I think I’ll be taking. I’m a truck driver so that would be immensely helpful

Windy weather app review. For my needs here in small town Cokeville, Wyoming or on the go in the RV or our trailerable boat cruising, the Windy weather app is our top preference when needing to know detailed forecast of present areas & where we plan on going. One of my favorite features is its showing the location of the weather stations in ones present location & they include those that are government, business & privately operated.

Awesome! However.... The latest update has hidden the altitude slider & made it less convenient to use. Yes, it's still there. But it must be opened each time to use it. Whereas it was right on the main screen in the past, making quick adjustments for comparison very quick & easy. For this less than ideal decision, I've snagged 1 star. But for remaining an awesome FREE app, albeit this little blunder, you get to keep the other 4 stars. How about correcting that tiny error in judgement so I can give you your other star back as I really have no use for it.

Fantastic but needs just a little more. Windy is loaded with features and information, multiple weather models and lots of ways to display the data. It’s definitely not for the person who doesn’t understand weather systems, but it’s fantastic for everyone who wants real weather data, not the fake “certainty” of WeatherBug or Storm Radar. My only wishes for Windy would be to add weather fronts to the graphics options and have a higher resolution radar display.

Great app. I gave this four stars, due to the fact of where I live near open water as in the Pacific Ocean. I can rely upon Windy for winds out of the north, northwest, and the north east. Windy has a tendency to tell us when it comes to winds coming out of the south, the east, and, of course the south East wrong information . Many times it is wrong. We rely upon the ocean to get us into Kodiak safely. When the app is wrong it could be deadly one day if we relied just on the Windy app.

Still not a Storm killer. This is a great app, no doubt, with more advanced wind data and comparable models, for example. But Storm Radar, for all its current bugs and weaknesses, still has some major advantages I can’t ignore, like future radar, likelihood of precipitation graph (not just amounts), simultaneous layers (in paid mode), storm tracks, and push notifications. This means I can’t totally jump ship, as much as I want to. I would also ask that webcams be able to be hidden. But make no mistake, this is a great app that focuses on providing lots of data instead of just being minimalist or entertaining.

Better than any other weather app, Paid OR Free. This app is an absolute dream to use on the iPad. The ability to toggle through a seemingly endless amount of useful weather filters and customize what you want to toggle through in the side bar makes this app great for almost any user. The satellite view is gorgeous and I can’t wait to see what the Windy team does next. This app is free but funded by donations and I hope other users that love this app are encouraged to keep them going.

Cluttered Random Number Generator. Every update signs you out and apparently your settings (like Metric vs Imperial) are gone. Even after manually setting all units to Imperial, the screens still show Metric. After restarting the phone it generally works. The five random number generators, a.k.a. “forecasts” are briefly interesting to compare but rarely agree and are often wrong, certainly for the SW United States. Not a fault of the app but it sure highlights how pathetic weather forecasting is. No apparent way to make one of the five forecast models the default. If it’s a feature that paying for the app adds, it is not documented.

Beyond what I could have imagined. This app is so good, I continue to be speechless even after a month of solid usage. It gives me the ability to create custom maps with my color preferences and then watch the flow as time progresses through a range of days. And that is only one thing among many. Since I use it on an iPad and I have somewhat large fingers it can be a little tricky sometimes but once done, it’s saved and I can enjoy the results of my handiwork. I thought I saw it was available for a Windows PC/Laptop and if so, next time I’m on I’m going to get it. Update: I just have to remove 2 ⭐️ because I’m losing my custom color schemes with every update and now I no longer bother with them because it takes too much time. Update2: I just saw that I received a response from the developer last July! I never expected one so now I’m going to add back a Star ⭐️ and follow up with them as they suggested! 😇

Great App with active support. I had recently rated this app 3 star because my favorite feature - widgets - had broken. But they are fixed so good job Windy team. I especially like how the 5-day forecast shows what time of day rain will occur, which I have not seen in any other app. Other features I like are the ability to see and compare multiple forecast models and very wide international radar coverage.

FINALLY a replacement for Storm. When the popular weather app “Storm” was gobbled up by the Weather Channel I was crushed. And their paint job to that app was nothing close to the experience I was used to. Windy is finally that app that fills the empty void. In a market flooded with weather apps, none have this slick, intuitive, clean interface with so much information at my fingertips, I’m sure I haven’t discovered it all yet. These guys know what their doing and it’s great.

All the information you need. Amazing compilation of weather data and accurate modeling. As long as you have a cellular network, a truly local forecast is at your fingertips (not just the nearest weather office, which in my case may be 100 km or more from my location). Temperature, wind speed, cloud cover, cloud level, precipitation, radar and lightning are all right there and remarkably accurate. My colleagues used this in a remote camp in the Yukon Territory and could accurately determine conditions and forecasts for helicopter and fixed wing flying, saving a lot of jet fuel in the process.

Latest update isn’t the best. The previous version was more convenient to use, the Lastest update has made the app more complicated. It has made the app difficult to use. I understand the goal of making the users use more features that were often do not used but that shouldn’t be the case for everyone as you use what you like. with this you get lost with all the available features. Thank you.

Also Disappointed. I always updated without fear that they would not paywall the best features, but they did. The owners are posting lots of “more options for premium users” and it is a slap in the face for working class people. I live in Hawaii and used this app often. So do all the old ladies and uncles I know. It was sad when they limited the updates per day. I agree that this is sad. I can use the web based sites, it’s just less mobile and hard to see. Tropical tidbits for Hawaii hurricane info. Windy will obviously become less useful to free users in the future. Sad day. I liked the people and the app up to now.

Excellent App. As a professional in air sports, I need a reliable app with many features to dig deep into the weather forecast. This app excels at that. I can easily look at winds aloft to check wind speed above the surface at any altitude and any time in the future. I can change models to see how they compare. I can visually see trends. It is a great teaching tool as well. I screencast the app to my class and show the students the wind conditions. Windy is an Essential part of preflight in my opinion.

I like where this is going!. After I just deleted WU because of their horrible mess after TWC got ahold of them I was left spending time trying to find a new weather app. I think I found it here. Donations incoming. Keep it up and don’t sell out like all the other apps after TWC got them. So far I really like the detailed map for my immediate location so I can even see a holler might be out of the wind or other elements. I need details and there are a lot here! Thanks and bravo.

This is it. I use windy for flying paragliders and it works so perfectly that I thought it was made specifically for that. I also fly light aircraft and used it for that as well. Eventually however, I finally noticed the airports option and I love all the information it provides for general aviation as well! Couldn’t be happier with this app, has worked flawlessly all over the world. I use the free version but will likely support soon.
