User's Comments of Windfinder

It's been great for keeping track of the waves/weather. It's also really nice how with the super-forecast you can get a more accurate description for 3 days. To be able to just use one app for almost everything you need to know about surfing is awesome. I took a vacation for a few days and was able to go out and see 10-ft waves at Port Bruce. If you're looking for a good wind finding app this is the one.

Great app!! Love the alerts but wish you could control how often you get them. (Once you see the alert and remove it, if the condition persists, then you could control when the alert pops up again, once an hour, once every 2 hrs, etc.) I love the ability to see multiple weather conditions, not just the wind! Seems to be pretty accurate. Wish it updated more often, 6 hrs is a long time.

This is a GREAT App! Because the ads that keep this app free are completely unobtrusive (thank goodness). AND it It does the job accurately and well, with visual information. I use it for my safety—I kayak to locations on a huge Canadian lake (out of necessity), and certain wind directions and conditions can make huge, dangerous waves. This application allows me to make educated decisions anywhere my phone can receive cell service and/or Wi-Fi. 5 stars to its creators. -Rand
