I use predictwind/offshore application by more than one year. Actually, I have passed 7 seas and I am on the way to cross the Atlantic Ocean. In more than 95%the forecasts have been accurate and the mathematical model used let you a plenty of options to choose a departure schedule or to make a passage.

Works great with Iridium Go
Used both the IOS and Mac version on a recent passage. Both were intuitive and seamlessly linked to Iridium Go. While it is a little easier to add coordinates in the Mac version, I found the convenience of the IPad outweighed this minor inconvenience.

An excellent weather departure and passage planning application. I used it extensively on my transatlantic and will continue to do so in the future.
