Windy.com - Weather & Radar 4+

This is by far my favorite weather app! It is packed full of features and the weather data is about as real time as you can find. The developers constantly improve upon the existing features but, most importantly, they frequently introduce new features. This is one of the few apps that I have where I am always excited to read the details about new features contained in each app update!! All of the major weather models are on this app and they are updated just as soon as the newest model runs are completed. I rarely pay subscriptions on apps but this is one app that I have paid for the subscription upgrade and i feel like I get every penny and then some out of that subscription. I can’t say enough about windy!!!

Just wanted to add a quick update. The developers respond to reviews that are posted on here. That is much appreciated! Even if it is to say thank you for a 5-star rating, I’m confident that a lower rating and/or any complaints or suggestions would be taken into consideration by the development team. That is excellent customer service and a developer team that cares about what their customers want. This is simply an all-around exceptional app! I can’t wait to see what features are in the works for the future!!

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.

Thank you for your feedback. We know about this issue and the reason is iOS 13. Right now we are still working on this problem. Everything should be correct on iOS 13.1. Please follow up this link https://community.windy.com/topic/9672/several-issues-with-upgrade-to-ios-13/3
Thank you for your patience. Barbora

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.
