WindHub: sailing weather +4

I just wish that there was a way to look at an hourly forecast like windy has, also being able to change to a dark mode would be nice. So really just a few more customization options would be awesome. Another good one might be the option for military time or 12 am hours 12 pm hours.

Hello! Thank you so much for your feedback and specific recommendations on how to improve the app! It's very valuable and helpful! If anything else comes to mind - our user support at windhub@windhub.com would be happy to hear from you!

I’m not to keen on the app. Radar is not accurate and it’s been pouring rain here for the past 20 minutes and the radar screen shows a light rain blob a few miles away and nothing else while other apps are showing all the rain pouring now. What is shown is just blobs. It’s cumbersome to use. I do appreciate the tide and swell data but I can get that from my other 2 apps I use for weather. I’m not sure if this app is for continental US use. I’ll try weather routing, but guesstimate is fine as the charts are definitely not something I’d actually rely on for navigation. Maybe for ocean crossings? I’m trying to make good use of it but it isn’t living up to the hype. I hope it makes a positive difference for others.

In response to developer: thank you for the reply. I already use Windy as one of my 2 primary sources. By continental, I mean: within the USA waters. I’m not sure I would rely on routing using those maps to safely avoid underwater hazards or even rocks and islands. So I’m not understanding the emphasis on charts usage. I checked it out against my chartplotter and it did not match up. So, I say it’s better for larger crossings with deep waters where there is much less chance of hitting small islands or rocks. I hope this clarified. Thank you for replying.

Hello! We highly appreciate your detailed feedback! We will take your comments about the radar into account and consider them for future development of the feature. By 'continental use' you mean the routing by land, right? If yes then we'd be happy to suggest you to try out our core app called Windy.app. It has feature called 'Forecast along the route', created for hikers, cyclists and drivers - maybe it may be of use to you.

Thanks for the feedback on my review. Front and wind barbs would be most appreciated on the free version. These are basic weather functions that I would like to see when taking an extended kayak trip (I will go about 6 to 10 miles in an 8 foot kayak).

I do understand data costs and there is no such thing as a free lunch but frontal positions are not updated that frequently. Wind barbs, I use the Windy app as it covers my aviation and nautical needs.

You got a great windy app. This does seem to duplicate that app in many ways of which I ended up going back to.

ORIGINAL Review below.

Requires in app purchase to view fronts and wind barbs.

As is, can only view winds and wind gusts of which your other app Windy covers that.

UPD: Thank you, again! all of this will be take into account.
