Windy.com - Weather & Radar

I found Windy one of the most accurate weather apps, even in narrow areas, and for longer term as well.

Prima app en zeer accuraat, zeker voor mensen met een meteorologische achtergrond.

Overal waar je bent, Windy geeft je alle weer info die je nodig hebt. Ik kan niet zonder meer

Als je op zoek bent naar een visueel schitterende weer app met alle mogelijke views, dan is deze app echt iets voor jou.

First: a very good app, no discussion about this.
But, after installing beginning of this year, they asked for a voluntary donation of € 5,49 which I did.
As thank you, I get since a few weeks every time I open the app an advertisement if I want to buy the premium version. That is what I call advertisement terror.
How can I get back my voluntary donation?

How hard can it be? Please correct the planning function for boating to north orientation for the wind and waves arrows. The current left to right orientation is awkward, not mentioned and therefore potentially dangerous.

Still spamming their paying users with the in app Mapy advertisements. Freaking annoying.

when i try to go to a location with the search function, the metar stations will block cloud base in meteo view. Therefore I cannot see the bottom part of the screen. Such as cloudbase.

Use this app daily for predictions of our sports flight hobby. Works like a charm and is mostly correct

Excellent, very detailed, good looking app. The forecasts are similar to official national meteorological organisations. In fact Windy gets its data from those organisations. So there is no need to search for another app when travelling. Besides weather forecast there is so much more included in the app that can be interesting at times. The free version is very good, but everyone should consider to pay to keep this app going!
For a non-meteorologist the amount of information can be overwhelming, but there is no need to dig into that if you don't want. There will be a moment when you are interested in wave hights or low/high tide, or the amount of rain accumulation the coming 12 or 24 hours or up to 8 days, or you want to hike to an mountain top and want to know if you will get above the clouds or not, and then the information is there.
The price of 26 Euros in 2025 is rather high compared to other meteo apps, but 2,17 a month for a company that has to spend a lot of money hosting the servers needed for many thousands of concurrent sessions and gathering so much data from all over the world isn't that much eighter.
The only thing that can really be improved is a wiki that covers every aspect of the app. Now you need to dig in the forum, hoping that what you want to understand is covered by a FAQ. Not every Windy user is a meteorologist, and I have no clue what Sounding is for example, and can't find a clear explanation. Setting it up takes a lot of time, but maintaining it not so much, just when the interface changes it needs to be updated. Meteorological terms and the explanation of how it shows in the app stay the same. O, and a configurable zoon option like in the web version would be very nice!
Keep going Windy!
Added: thanks for the zoon option added in the August 2025 update!

Hier zit alles in:verschillende weermodellen, heel veel opties voor kaartinstellingen en een mooie interface. Gewoon de beste weerapp!

Love this weather app. Has a lot of data to play with. Different weather models are available and you have the possibility to compare the models to actual forecast. Definitely recommend!

Mainbuttons appear in the middle of the iPad screen (instead of bottom-right) when returning to the Windy app. After turning iPad to portrait and return to landscape they move back to the bottom-right. Its on newest iOS on multiple iPads Pro.

We love Windy for planning! The App makes it possible to compare the output of different models - when they all point in the same direction there’s more certainty in the forecast. There’s no forecaster involvement with these numerical models, but we’re really happy with the interface and comparison possibilities!

Windy toont alles wat je over het weer wil weten en laat dat maximaal gedetailleerd zien.
