Windy.com - Weather Forecast

Ruffian Tux

Lots of good data that I'd normally have to go to multiple websites to view,which is nice. What isn't nice is the lack of forecasting and hourly breakdowns unless you pay. A typical phone home screen will give you an hourly forecast for free so I don't see why someone would pay for it. Otherwise,the app is impressively quick to load considering how detailed the map is even though it takes a bit of fiddling to learn what all the buttons do and which data you want to see.

One of the best weather forecast apps. Many layers you can keep watch on, and several models you can use. Offers the ECMWF for free, which is extremely rare. But there are more features behind a premium subscription so... Also, if you go on the desktop version, you can create custom colors for layers which will transfer to your phone, if you are logged into the same account. Really cool! I recommend this app.

This app is good & also a useful tool for tracking different storms in different parts of the world, but there's one thing that makes it not 5 stars. This is the color representing the wind speed. The color scale needs to be more broad. For example. The purple. I see what looks like a storm & is purple, but is it the low purple wind speeds? OR The storm level high purple wind speeds? One of the purple colors in the scale needs to be replaced. You can't have 1 color represent 2 different things!

Si far this seems to be fairly accurate application. I like all the different information available. Once you go through the menu you can really see a lot of things which is excellent. One issues us that when I use it in a mountain location the temperature in winter is way off from a real temperatures night or day, i mean easily by more than 10 degrees. Now i understand better after the reply from developer of the app.

I love this app but there's one thing that drives me crazy. The widget on my home screen never shows the right location. I have the app set to use my current location, but whenever I visit a new place and then come home, it will default to the place I visited for months. Even if I was only there for a few hours. It drives me crazy. It doesn't matter how often I refresh my location, the next time I unlock my phone, it's back to showing me the weather of some town I drove through 3 months ago.

I love everything about this app! You can get multiple weather reports for anywhere in the world, check volcano activity through SO2 levels, plan for rough surf, high tide and even track wildfires. There us so much in this app, it is great and easy to see the data rather than just looking at raw data. I've stopped using the weather channel. This even has traffic cams if you need to check the roads.

Really like how much information there is, but at the same time I don't because I can't find any sort of legend or key to tell what everything means. Some overlays are self explanatory, but ones like the clouds I have absolutely no clue if it means there's a lot of clouds or no clouds, and what's with the blue dots? It might be user error, but I wish there was a way to see what each color meant for the overlay so the data could be better understood.

Paid for premium app, but developer now ceaselessly pushes customer to buy a subscription, with no option to decline. Either the app is ad-free, or it isn't. I'm done with Windy. (In response to the developer reply, there should be an option to disable the subscription ad. I shouldn't have to dismiss it every time I load. Too bad, my rating stands.)

Too much garbage UI floating over the map. You have to dig into a menu to get it to find your location. Roads are practically invisible. The pin to check spot conditions is fixed relative to the screen, not the map, and it is near the top. All in all this app is a perfect case study in how NOT to design a proper UI and UX.

Great graphics. Love the no ads But accuracy leaves slot to be desired. I was outside mowing. I felt very strong winds. Inside I could hear the winds howling. I checked the app. It showed 16 mph. I was skeptical. I checked the two closest airports. One is about 10 miles away. It was reporting 28 mph. That was believable. The other airport 40 miles away reported 30 mph. Also believable. The reported direction by windy also seemed off.
