    Super expensive, won’t update any maps with a basic subscription

    Rated by mistake but I can’t remove it. So since I am forced to write a review, here is my one star for being so insanely expensive.

  • Now useless for land applications.

    Old app offered land surfaces in full color topographic format. A great resource for off grid land explorers. Newer downgraded version shows all land surfaces in blue color, making it impossible to easily locate terrain features. Obviously, PredictWind no longer cares about serving land exploration users. Too bad.

  • Really cool platform for offshore when paired with iridium Go

    Great app in combination with an IridiumGo on iPhone and iPad. For some reason doesn’t work on my iPod Touch. I have reported this to Iridium but it's been months now. Should be an easy bug to fix, no reason for it not to work on the iPod Touch.

  • Good app and great support

    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.

  • Excellence

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

  • 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.
