User Reviews

Windy.app offers strong, detailed wind forecasts and is helpful for activities like boating, fishing, and kite flying, with broad customization and solid support. However, users repeatedly report pricing and billing frustrations, data inaccuracies (wind/ waves), a difficult user interface, disruptive marketing prompts, and access limitations for certain features (sunrise/sunset data, inland use). These recurring issues dampen otherwise positive feedback and highlight a need for clearer pricing, improved data reliability, and better UX.

Pros

Detailed wind forecast data with multiple locations and advanced options
Very useful for wind-related activities (boating, fishing, kite flying)
Highly customizable features and options (PRO)
Responsive customer support and generally easy to reach for inquiries

Cons

Pricing and billing issues: automatic charges after trial, confusing lifetime vs subscription models, and perceived high costs
Data inaccuracies: wind speeds/directions and wave heights frequently reported as wrong, with some location-specific failures
Poor UI/UX: extremely difficult to use for some tasks and several interface glitches
Aggressive marketing and prompts: nagging promotions, pop-ups, and update reminders often seen as disruptive
Feature access limitations: some data (e.g., sunrise/sunset) requires desktop plugins or PRO gating; inland usefulness limited

Recent reviews

Does what I want, but super annoying pop ups. Every single time I use the app it asks if I want to upgrade. Then I have to stop what I’m doing and select “no.” Then it pops up with “are you sure you want to decline?” It is so annoying. I’ve been using other applications that are less absurd because of how this one operates. Everyone hates the subscription model. It is so dumb. The constant pop ups to try and make you subscribe are such a turn off. I’d consider a one time purchase, but the move to every single app being a subscription is so cringe. I know they’ll say, “app development costs money.” BS, but I guess people fall for that.
