Features & Capabilities

The Offshore App allows you to seamlessly download multiple GRIB files for your coastal and offshore passages.

Quickly download and view GRIB files, weather routes, GMDSS maps and text forecasts, AIS data and satellite imagery.

Access all the world’s top ranking forecast models for reliable and accurate weather data, including ECMWF, SPIRE, UKMO, GFS and more. Our very own PWG & PWE models offer incredible accuracy and a record-breaking 1km resolution.

In addition to forecasts, the Offshore App also provides a suite of powerful marine tools to save you time and keep you safe at sea.

Weather Routing and Departure Planning is calculated in the PredictWind cloud at the highest resolution. The finished route is then sent back to your boat in an incredibly small file size which is ideal for low bandwidth satellite and SSB connections.

The Offshore App works with Wi-Fi, mobile networks, and most satellite connections using an Iridium GO!, Globalstar or Optimizer device.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES

GRIB file viewer: High resolution forecasts maps with animated streamlines, wind barbs or arrows.

Tables: The ultimate dashboard for detailed analysis.

Graphs: Compare multiple parameters at the same time.

GMDSS Forecasts: View either in the traditional text format or on a map.

Destination Spot Forecast: Know exactly what the weather is doing at your destination.

Live Observations: Know what’s happening right now out on the water.

Ocean Data: See what’s happening under the waves with ocean and tidal currents, and sea temperature.

User Reviews

The app is valued for accurate forecasts and offshore planning, plus strong Iridium Go integration across devices. However, users repeatedly fault it for a clunky, buggy UI, unstable offline caching, and model download issues. Additional pain points include difficulty disabling or selecting routing models, route-logic quirks, and high pricing. Overall, core PW services are praised, but the mobile app is seen as a flawed, expensive companion with workflow frustrations.

Pros

Accurate forecasts and an indispensable offshore service for planning
Solid cross-device integration with Iridium Go across iOS, iPad, and Mac
Effective for weather departure and passage planning
Good core functionality and model options for planning scenarios

Cons

Clunky, slow, and buggy user interface with stability issues
Offline caching and model download problems (GRIBs not caching, models not downloading, view resets)
Inability to disable or selectively show routing models leading to clutter and confusing graphs (PWG + others) and route re-runs resetting models
Very high subscription cost with perceived poor value, especially for basic map updates/missing features
Some feature regressions (limitations compared to older app) and mixed support experience

Recent reviews

Given how good PredictWind generally is I’m continually annoyed with how clunky this app is. Not sure why you can’t jus cache downloaded GRIBs in the main PredictWind app, but when you do it on here there are all sorts of weird bugs: models not showing up even when you downloaded them, the frame of view constantly resetting when you switch between routes in weather planning mode, model-selection toggle disappearing from the weather routing view, segments of the grib never being available (e.g. PWG 50km wave and satellite imagery never download no matter how long I let them go). I wish they would just integrate offline functionality into the main PW app so we could use the better UI there.

It’s amazing that Predict Wind allows this awful app given the Predict Wind app works so well and smoothly if you have either cell or internet service. There are many reviews here listing the problems in that it is slow and wonky, counter intuitive, confusing, etc. and this is amazing considering how easy the sibling app is to use. What is WRONG with you Predict Wind??? You have customers paying LOTS of money to subscribe and you give us this train wreck of an app. And please don’t respond with contact our customer support bot for a hug! Fix this damn thing! This is not only frustrating but it is dangerous.
