It's an okay weather app if you need more detail for a specific sport but overkill otherwise. The downside is that they're really pushy with trying to get you to pay for a license which is annoying. They've now become so pushy with the sales that the user experience is severely impacts so I've deleted the app and will use a different weather forecasting service.

I guess it could be good, if i want a lot of weather info, but my phone screen is too small for all the info it gives. With all the info it wants at startup, i find it annoying that i had to search for basic settings like celcius and had to change too many parameters to metric. I just want a forecast with probabilities, rather than checking multiple weather apps to determine the probabilities myself, and units I can understand, and a way to check my local forecast or a travel destination.

Thanks for your feedback, Lisa! In the app, you can create a profile to customize your forecast and focus only on the parameters that matter to you. For more accurate local forecasts, we recommend using regional weather models. Please contact us at windy@windyapp.co - we'll be happy to assist!

I had to pay to see the app, no free trial option was offered when I wanted to check it out. Fishing spots are all Marinas, which don't allow fishing and they miss dozens of local spots I know of, I was going to use this when I travel. It does have very detailed weather, hence the name Windy, but very lacking on fishing info. I will be canceling after my 4 weeks are up, I might try to get a refund if possible. Not for me.
