Comments on PredictWind - Marine Forecasts for Android
★★★★☆John I Copeland· Jun 21, 2026
This app is easy to use and understand. I have used it for trip planning, and I have been satisfied with its faithfulness to actual conditions. I recommend it to fellow mariners.
★★★★★Glen Jeffery· Sep 21, 2026
Greatest app for wind and weather, very accurate. The more you learn about it, the better it gets. Used the router for the Solo Tasman Challenge yacht race in 2026. They correctly predicted the strong winds and the vitality of the 3 lows coming across the fleet with the very high Cape prediction. Race went ahead, and the fleet saw 50 to 60 kn winds tight reaching and upwind through 2 of the fronts, as predicted. The fleet was prepared and made it through well, I was still racing.
★★★★★Matt humphries· Sep 25, 2026
After five Volvo Ocean Race campaigns and countless offshore miles, Predict Wind is a core part of my toolkit, and the anchor alert is one of its most useful features. If the boat drags, you're warned straight away, whether you're aboard overnight or ashore. That gives genuine peace of mind at anchor, especially when conditions change. Combined with Predict Wind's forecasting and routing, it makes the app essential for racing and cruising alike. Highly recommended.
★★★★★Phinehas Bowen· Mar 10, 2026
I work professionally as a Capt/YM, this app is definitely the best for weather routing in a maritime environment. Whether you're a novice or a maritime professional, this app can't be beat.
★★☆☆☆P I· Mar 28, 2026
I hardly use this app anymore because it is too inaccurate. I have been misled by the tables too often and don't trust it much. Apart from that, I used to be able to read the table for a specific location and then use those tables offline - even after days. Now, when I log into my phone, the tables are gone, and you need to be online to get them back. No good if there is no coverage....
★☆☆☆☆Matt Scholze· Jul 17, 2026
It tells you it's a free app, but you can upgrade that's not true you can't use it without paying
★★☆☆☆Jan Oltmanns· Jul 20, 2026
Mostly good data but increasingly buggy app. The selection of models, opportunity to compare and various way of displaying as charts, graphs etc. is very valuable. It allows a very deep understanding. The long duration forecast helps with passage planning. Departure time planning makes a time-consuming manual process a "quick check" on the go. However, the app is increasingly buggy, slow and requires a surprisingly good data connection. Given the cost, I would expect more in that dimension.
★☆☆☆☆Andrew McEwen· May 15, 2026
Uninstalled Predict Wind, as it defaults to Juist and asks for upgrade to add current location several 100s of miles from Juist.
