I used to love his app but it has become so complicated I find it impossible to use now. There's too much information to for a standard mobile phone size screen. And more frustrating - it is almost impossible to pick a new spot or read some of the text on the map because, maddeningly, when you enlarge it a lot of the text gets smaller! A good idea would be a lite version for people who want basic information and don't want to have to get out their PC or laptop to decipher it.

Uninstalled. Looked pretty good at first, access to multiple models, able to compare, detailed forecasts even in the free version. Less than a week later (before testing it out completely), all of that is locked behind the Pro subscription. Now, you only get a mid-confidence, short-range forecast from what appears to be a non-local provider, plus a screen littered with little Pro symbols and a big subscribe button. As an aside, no, I did not initially sign up to a trial for more features.

Hello Christopher! Thanks for the feedback! Most likely, the free tour was available to you for several days. We're sorry this confused you. The free version is fully functional, with a 10-day forecast. But as you mentioned, there are more weather models available in the Pro version. If you have any questions, contact us at windy@windyapp.co.

I'm a Pro user of this App but it plays second fiddle to others. It is still trying to be all things to all people and it's interface is too cluttered. Despite feedback in 2018 nothing has really improved on this front. Features yes, UX no. The biggest issue for me though is the slowness of the data load/refresh when using the wind map and forecasts compared to other similar apps. Glithchy. Cartography needs looking at eg place names have halos or such like effects, which makes legibility poor

What’s new

It’s a good time for wind alerts

- The new design is sleek & intuitive
- You set it once and know about perfect wind days in advance
- You can set different alerts for different locations

💡Pro-tip: When setting an alert, use the mini-map to check the spot’s layout and coastline orientation. This will help you exclude wind directions that won’t work for you.
