overall pretty good but typically find that the wave conditions are way off, usually less than actual wave height and distance apart. Results are some very unexpected rough days on the water.
Used this app for some years. Works, but the new data policy is a deal breaker. They give an option to object for such a long list of partners that it's not really an option to go through them at all. Unless a proper 'object all' (or better even, default off) option becomes available I'm not using this service any longer. Uninstalled *In reply to the lousy response. It's not the ads that are annoying. It is your fake (as in not workable) option of opting out of data aggregation.
For seeing the global weather picture clearly to checking the wind in your neighbourhood as you plan a Sunday sail, Windfinder is the best app I have found.
Always use this app before I go kayaking. Very accurate, in my experience, and easy to use. Would recommend this app to all outdoor folks.
Fantastic app! I work everywhere and anywhere from the mountains of Kerry to the Highlands of Scotland and this little baby gives me a fairly good idea of how to plan ahead. Just need to go pro now! Excellent, 5 stars 😁
Great app with room for improvement. Would be better if you could drop pins on the map to mark as favorite. Not really important, but a black UI option would also be nice.
