Description

The app combines highly accurate weather forecast for your location with a 3D map showing development of weather in a broader area in a very interesting way. This allows you to see where precipitation is going to come from or where the wind is blowing from. The uniqueness of the app comes from the amount of data displayed. Forecast of weather, precipitation, wind, cloud cover, atmospheric pressure, snow cover and other meteorological data for different altitudes is available for the whole world. WIND ANIMATION The Ventusky application solves weather displaying in an interesting way. Wind is displayed using streamlines which clearly portray the continuous development of weather. Airflow on Earth is always in motion and the streamlines depict this motion in an amazing way. This makes the interconnection of all atmospheric phenomena obvious. WEATHER FORECAST Weather forecast for the first three days is available in the app in one-hour steps. For other days, it’s available in three-hour steps. Users can also look up sunrise and sunrise times in a given place or air quality. WEATHER MODELS Thanks to the Ventusky application, visitors get data directly from the numerical models that, just a few years ago, were used solely by meteorologists. The app collects data from the most accurate numerical models. Besides the well-known data from the American GFS and HRRR models, it also displays data from the Canadian GEM model and the German ICON model, which is unique thanks to its high resolution for the whole world. Two models, EURAD and USRAD, are based on current radar and satellite readings. These models are able to show precisely current precipitation in US and Europe. WEATHER FRONTS You can also display weather fronts. We have created a neural network that predicts the positions of cold, warm, occluded, and stationary fronts based on data from weather models. This algorithm is unique, and we are the first on the world who makes global fronts forecast available to users.

    Been loving the app, and USED it for back country trip planning and daily forecast. Then they made a 5$ app a 15 a year app to get anything more than what you get from free apple weather. Really disappointing, and honestly not worth 15 a year, don’t waste your money anymore
  • PHENOMENAL APP

    This app has so many layers. They can literally spend their entire day, looking around the world at the current wind conditions in Zimbabwe and then go to Alaska, etc. highly recommend this app for anybody who needs detailed information about whether.
  • Anount of info

    So much info. I especially like wind direction during hurricane season. It helps me see potential storm formation and how it tracks. Very helpful.
  • Superb app

    It has everything. The desktop app seems more complete than the mobile app - it might be my understanding. I am impressed every time I use it.
  • Love it

    I love this app. Just wish it had a key to explain the different front lines
  • No way to contact author, cannot select specific model.

    I have the premium subscription, I got this specifically to use the NBM model. However, using the “pull-up” screen to display data for your selected area it appears it is hardcoded to use only the HRRR model for the first several days of data. I want to use NBM data. Yes, I’ve tweaked every setting I can find in the app and cannot seem to change this. The only place I can select to use NBM data is on the map page. And I cannot find any link for tech support or suggestions, so I give this app a 3 star rating. If I was not focused on trying to get the app to use a specific model I would probably give it a 5 star rating.
  • Great app for weather.

    I was worried regarding data reliability, but they use data readily available from NOAA. Many reviews complain about having to pay for information that's free online, but fail to realize the versatility and really good UI of the app. This app offers ALL of the data you need and you can pinch and zoom in to the area you wish to explore on a globe model. App runs as intended and without issues an iPhone 15 Pro Max. Great job Devs and excellent approach to data presentation.
