Comments on Windfinder: Wind & Weather map for Android

★★★★★ Anthony Wood · Jul 26, 2026
In UK is generally the most accurate wind forecast I have used. Weather forecasting in UK is becoming more and more difficult with disturbed weather patterns. Wind finder is doing a good job in keeping up with the change.
★★★★★ Rand Heaslip · May 4, 2026
This is a GREAT App! Because the ads that keep this app free are completely unobtrusive (thank goodness). AND it does the job accurately and well, with visual information. I use it for my safety - I kayak to locations on a huge Canadian lake (out of necessity), and certain wind directions and conditions can make huge dangerous waves. This application allows me to make educated decisions anywhere my phone can receive cell service and/or Wi-Fi. 5 stars to its creators. -Rand
★★★★★ Rockin Ralph · Oct 8, 2026
A Big help preparing for wind and gusts raising the patio shades and patio furniture etc. Thank you!
★★★★★ Peter Ashworth · May 21, 2026
I have all the sailing apps. Wind finder is my go-to. Easy to use, great design, 👍 and great value. I used extensively on a recent international ocean race 🏁 with great success. I highly recommend.
★☆☆☆☆ Sean · Jul 3, 2026
What is the point of this? The amazing, helpful, FREE weather service from the website is instead paywalled, and you're bombarded with ads? Why would I ever use this instead of just opening the website? EDIT: It absolutely is a good reason for 1 star. When you open the website on your phone, it nags you to open the app, and then the app is paywalled. If other users don't mind, those users can leave better reviews. I'm pissed, so I won't. Everything becoming a subscription now is miserable.
★☆☆☆☆ Jared Waters · Jul 6, 2026
Unfortunately not very accurate. Wind was usually 2x faster than forecast. Government of Canada forecasts were much more accurate for sailing.
★☆☆☆☆ Dump Ling · May 23, 2026
I should say Cancel and Navigate button under my phone, if I'm using my Google Account, I'm cancelling to back home, stop saying error and failed, These words are disrespectful, So people can't say okay at all, They can't respect that, Some people won't say okay, if some people don't want to say ok, I need the navigate button will work to cancel, not only okay button.
★★☆☆☆ Benjamin Johnson · May 18, 2026
If you think the free version is worth it, it absolutely is NOT. All aspects are worse or not available relatively to what you can have for free from the web page. You're better off just making a shortcut to the web page and making an account rather than accepting less functionality with ads constantly bombarding you in the app.
