The app is okay but hard to navigate to favorites or select location. Way to many screens trying to promote additional upgrades before getting to the dashboard. (edit: and the developer's response is to point out the need to go to the pay version. I don't mind that the free version has only basic functionality. I do mind hiding basic interface behind upgrade prompts and top level features aren't the first thing I see when I open the app.)

The free version contains only basic functionality (btw, the "Favorites" also among the free features). The pro version is much more functional. In order to try and evaluate the pro version for yourself you can use the free trial periodor contact the support team at windy@windyapp.co

Updated Review May 30 2024. Is it possible to have windyapp open at a desired location rather then my current location? Defaulting to my current location is not a great feature when im trying to figure out where I want to go. Thank you for putting so much energy in presenting the power of wind in a such an easy to use and visually comprehensive way! Having trouble using the pro version after my phone crashed. I was an early supporter on indigogo.

Dear Samuel, thanks for being with us all these years! We appreciate your support! You can find current location using the search bar. Or click on the location you want on the weather map and save it as a favorite location, or just look at the detailed forecast. If you have any questions or need assistance, please contact us at windy@windyapp.co!

Currently, this app is major setup issues. I've contacted support, did as they recommended, and now it's worse than it was when I went through setup on my own. When viewing radar, you can't see roads, cities, or anything other than a bright green haze with black dots in a grid pattern. In its current, non-functional state, I do not recommend this app. I have a background in IT, and if I can't figure out this app, there is something wrong with the app.

Hello Ben! You can adjust the transparency on the weather map (settings icon at the bottom right -> Transparency -> select desired level) or switch to another map layer (the one you're mentioned is wind+rain), e.g. wind speed, gusts, swell etc. Our user support address: windy@windyapp.co.

What's new

Live Winds on the Spot

To go or not to go? Now you can see observed wind from weather stations that’ll complement the wind forecast and help you make a decision. The green arrow is the forecast, the colored oval shows the wind from the weather station.

Use two fingers to zoom in or out on the map to see more or fewer weather stations.

P.S. You can always switch from the map view to satellite view for the wind rose in the app settings.
