Wind forecast for Windgurus

ask user to change the rating

This app is very basic and rudimentary. There is no help or how to use instructions. You just have to figure it out on your own. You can't change any settings like wind speed measurement. It only displays speed in knots, I want it in MPH, but knots is all you get. Also, it's a static display, there is no animated movement showing trend. When you change between different type of map displays like street, topo, bing, it takes forever to load the screen, and I have super fast internet connection. I think I wasted my money on buying this app. Going to delete.

A cold front blows into my area. I’m a licensed pilot and I keep tabs on weather forecasts BUT when I’m not flying, I’m typically working outside on a couple of ranches we have in Texas, and wind plays a big role on what “chores” I might or might not be able to do. This app has historically been exceedingly inaccurate in advising what the winds will be like in an hour, or the next day. In fact, after today’s strong cold front blew in (out of the north) the app shows surface winds will be blowing from the southwest, not only for the next several hours, but throughout the entire next day.

i have been using it since 2012. great app

Really helpful for cruising sailors. Makes it easy to decide if/when to go. I'd have given 5 stars if the predictions went out a little longer. I've had none of the problems noted by other reviewers.

It couldn't be more simple. I have been following friends delivering a boat from MA to the BVI. With this free app. and iBoattracker I'm able to see into there wind future. I have recommend it to many of my sailing friends. if wind matters to you get this app.
