Review summary

Users generally appreciate iWindsurf for its reliable and accurate wind and weather forecasts tailored to water sports enthusiasts, especially its pro forecasts and live sensors. However, multiple reviews report that recent updates caused significant issues like app crashes, loss of forecast data, and reduced functionality of pro features. There is frustration over paid subscription access to previously free stations, difficulty contacting support, and intrusive ads despite paying users. While the app is still valued for its specialized data and ease of use, many long-term users express dissatisfaction with recent changes compromising usability and customer service.

Pros

Reliable and accurate local weather and wind forecasts, especially valuable for windsurfing and outdoor planning.
Easy to use interface that helps users decide on activities like windsurfing and foiling, potentially saving resources like gas.
Provides access to wind conditions at locations far away, which some users find helpful.
Experienced pro forecasts that effectively interpret complex microclimates for precise predictions.
Long-term value with live sensors and comprehensive weather details appreciated by regular users.

Cons

Recent updates have caused app instability, including frequent crashes and loss of forecast data.
Pro features, including alerts and access to stations, are not working properly or require costly subscriptions, leading to user dissatisfaction.
Reduced access to previously free stations now behind a paywall, causing frustration among long-term users.
Customer support is difficult to reach; especially problematic is the complicated or unclear membership cancellation process.
UI changes in newer versions, such as reordering favorites and persistence of ads despite pro membership, have negatively impacted user experience.
