Ratings and Reviews
Bait and Switch
I have used this apps for a couple of years. This year I upgraded to basic as we are cruising up the inside passage to Alaska. The basic package says it includes 1km resolution forecast maps; 9 saved forecast locations; wave, rain, cloud, isobar maps; wind observations; and forecast alerts. I don’t get most of that. After emailing the help desk they told me I only get one 1km resolution map, as in 1 and never another and I don’t get wave maps. Those are the only reasons I upgraded. There are several other apps that will give you the information they are giving for free. Skip if you want more detail or want to deal with an honest company. If I could post a picture of what they tell is included I would.

Hi there, we apologise for the misunderstanding however the information we advertise about our all our packages is truthful. It can take time to learn how all the features work so please get in touch with our support team at https://www.predictwind.com/contact-us/ and we will do all we can to help you best utilise our forecasting system.
The Forecast Alerts Should Be Thought Of Differently
I use your app constantly for sailing and I commend you for a job well done (as I was a programmer for 50 years). As a suggestion, I would like the Forecast Alert be more precise and here is why. If you sail and are going out for the day, one hour that the parameters that are set up by the user meets the predicted wind speed, etc., the user receives an alert. But the alert might be for just the first hour and the rest of the day there might be too little or too much wind. The set up of the alert should be if the user sets the alert from 10:00am - 2:00pm, the parameters should be met for all 4 hours and then an alert would sent out. It would just add a very powerful element to your app for all the day sailors out there that could use your app more efficiently. Just a thought!

Don’t put your money on it
This weather app has been a ride, it looks nice and fancy with all kinds of features and stuff and boy do you want to believe it. Couple of weeks ago I was going to get the paid version and then I saw the price so I thought let me wait a little bit longer.
Well, I’m really happy I did.
They have been wrong a a good bunch of times, but it always comes down to “its weather” anyways.
Today I write this review because I took this App “to the bank” literally. this is the complete opposite of what they said it was going to be and what an embarrassing mistake. This weather app just screwed up my bosses, golf trip.
