User friendly
I’m a Sternman on a commercial lobster vessel; we have 800 traps 5-10 miles outside. This app has been extremely useful for me for planning purposes. Also, their upgrade options are great, and definitely worth the short money as far as I’m concerned. - Also, I had a simple question about one of the app’s features that I emailed to their support center for clarity, and got an RSVP the same day. Hope this helps!

Perfect
Perfect app with all the information presented in whatever you think is the best possible way it is. Takes a little time to understand the different models and it is disconcerting that at times they disagree so much but, it's all the information and the uncertainty in the models should tell you the uncertainty in the production. Love the app. Have used it in the Mediterranean Caribbean Pacific in San Francisco bay area and seems very good.

Love this App!
Predict Wind has helped make our travels throughout the Med, the Caribbean, Bahamas, and East Coast for the past 2.5 years a safer and unforgettable experience. It is my go to for all the weather and route planning. Combined with Iridium Go! we can make good decisions regarding departures and routes. I've never used an app that was so efficient and helpful. The bonus is the PW team continues to update and improve. Their team is professional, courteous, and they always take the time to help you out if you need it. Their customer service is second to none. After all the weather apps I've downloaded this is by far the most accurate and thorough weather app. If there were 6 stars I'd give it that as my rating.
