Windy Reviews 

Windy.com is a beautiful mesmerizing nonsense app. I'm sitting on a beach where there's supposed to be westerly wind at 23km/h. The wind is closer to 33km/h and the direction is from S/SW. Last week the current weather was showing heavy rain and thunder over parts of another country. I checked webcams (up to 6 minutes lag) and the skies were almost clear, no rain, no wind. I called family to confirm and the webcams were confirmed.

Copied straight from Google review:,, update 2026: check Trustpilots 2,2 rating. You have paid 5 stars all over!>What a shame full reaction from windy! GOT HURRICANES? DONT USE WINDY ULL DIE BROKE< false reviews Old message: Today 2026: also screw ur Automatic reaction i used windy longer than u even exist stupid bot. "

Shame on windy. Was last good in 2017:2018 after Irma it became pay for everything....rip off. Forgot who made them big, now they buy 5 stars reviews all over to cover their 4,7 star. Reviews like: YEAH, GOOD, PERFECT. Obviously full of content. Not..

Many of the reviews here seem to refer to windy.app (blue Windy) which is a different app and website from windy.com (red Windy). I use red Windy and find it a great interface, and its use of the ECMWF model is especially helpful.

useless. very inaccurate data for rain and showers for northern Germany. It`s like you want to go to Berlin in a car and you have a Ferrari, unfortunately the Ferrari is going to Munich. Completely senseless.

It used 2 be a good app now it sucks I had it on 3 device s now I will remove it
It.s not accurate any more

SPAM! The developer keeps spamming its other projects (Mapy) in Windy, even to paying users. In the iOS app you cannot swipe it away; the only option is to tap it, which redirects you to the App Store.

Excellent wind forecasts for an ocean sail of 600 nm on the east coast of Australia (Coffs - Melb). Ability to select multiple forecast models, trip planning, ability to play the forecast over time. After the trip I accidentally paid for another year and Windy were kind and understanding in responding.

It have saved me in the mountains. Lifesaving application.

Fraud – The 7-day free trial cannot be cancelled, and you are automatically charged for a full year with no option for a refund!!
Further more, weather forecast not better/more detailed than most other apps.

I was 3 days into the 7 free day trial and $359 was taken from my account not the $59.99 before I finished the 7 day free trial

Got to Pay to see the weather after a week on your site, after 7 days it all greys out, is this some kind of tease.. lol
Pay to check the weather looool wtf

It's complete garbage I wanted to try it out and it wasn't what was expected I payed 70 bucks and immediately wrote them back to refund me back and they refused to refund me.

Is not accurate. It’s just good visual that’s all. Would not reflect reality.

Good app, precise forecast. Good ui.

This app is ABSOLUTE GARBAGE!
I recently purchased a sailboat and used windy to forecast the weather for Saturday sailing. It was SO WRONG every time!
I couldn't believe it. So, I paid for premium, assuming I'd get better information. NOPE! It was just as bad , it would be howling with wind outside and the app would continue to say 10 knots, and even the wind direction was totally off. I deleted the app but lost out on my money. Incredibly lousy forecasting! Does this actually work for anyone, I'm curious, because I tried and tested this thing for over a month, sailing every weekend. It was WRONG 100% OF THE TIME!

I like their many tools on site to check and track the worldwide weather and its parameters. The web page looks good also with fine graphics.

I made a premium account, but did not get a invoice to activate my account, i tried to make contact bud no response at all.

Not strange they have 2.5 stars rating.
I wish i had read the reviews before i pursued the premium account.

Windy app aviation forecasts no longer valid?
Though there is no available explanation (decode) for the symbols used in the Windy app aviation display, for a few months now the pictures provided below the Windy app METAR TAF facility no longer seem to bear much relation to actual met conditions in METARS for airports.
Windy app had previously been useful but is now just misleading.
What has changed, and how are the symbols decoded remain a mystery?

S L O W loading, since over a week ago. All other sites loading great as usual on fiber. Looked into forums and reviews and tried all solutions for my end. Tried lowering shields, in fact wasted a lot of time trying everything this old geek could think of! Just S L O W, I mean like go make a sandwich and come back slow. Besides this latest issue, Windy.com is quite often WRONG about what the current weather is actually doing...not just the forecast model, but real-time inaccuracies. In general, online weather has been the absolute shits since Intellicast.com sold out on us to Weather Underground. Date below is estimated, and currently ongoing.
