User Reviews and Ratings
★★★★☆Good but doesn’t save start-up location
Windy is great and it’s my favorite weather app, but it doesn’t save start-up location under settings.
★★★★★Private Pilot Review
This has become a go to app before flying. I still use my Aviation apps like ForeFlight and Garmin pilot for weather conditions but, this app gives me instant knowledge of wind speed and direction.
★★★☆☆Good app but annoying paywall
The restrictions of not having premium, which is quite expensive for a weather app, are very annoying but otherwise it is a good reliable app.
★★★★★Faint text
I like the website and find it valuable on my iPad, so downloaded the app on my phone. But much of the text is so faint and / or small that I can't see it even with my readers on. Bummer :/
If you have excellent eagle-eyes it's probably worth getting the app. For me though I'll have to skip this for my phone and just continue using the website on my iPad.
★★★★★Best Weather App
Feature Request: Mountain Wave, Ridge, and Convergence lift for air sports. Or even simple vertical velocity forecast chart for 850mb which is available with free NOAA data. Possibly thermal strength.
The day this app is paywalled I will cry. Would pay small fee for advanced features though.
