Description

Welcome on board to the WindHub app! Built for mariners by mariners, it displays necessary weather and marine info in a neat and simple way. The detailed map will help to plan cruises, races, or nice fishing. Accurate forecasts and real-time data includes: • atmospheric pressure map with marked highs and lows • weather fronts • wind and gust forecasts • waves info • tides and currents • rain radar and precise nowcast • live wind information from 30000+ weather stations Top-notch weather data is provided by professionals - official weather forecasting services: NOAA, Meteo-France, Deutscher Wetterdienst, ECMWF and others. High-resolution forecast for Europe and East Asia is calculated by our team. And it’s not just the weather - marinas have contact information so you can call or email the harbor master to book a berth or to ask about amenities. Special treat for sailors and boaters in the US is the option to display nautical charts. It shows water depths, dangers, anchorages, and other features. The provided nautical charts aren’t for navigation purposes. Using the app is easy. You can change units, wind speed display (animation or wind barbs), and weather data displayed on the map. Activate “Traffic Saver Mode” if you experience low reception signal. You can rely on Windhub to help you make the right decision. We are constantly improving the app and adding new features. We’d love to hear your feedback and ideas at [email protected]. Terms of Use: https://windhub.com/termsofuse.pdf

  • Not what I thought it would be

    I’m not to keen on the app. Radar is not accurate and it’s been pouring rain here for the past 20 minutes and the radar screen shows a light rain blob a few miles away and nothing else while other apps are showing all the rain pouring now. What is shown is just blobs. It’s cumbersome to use. I do appreciate the tide and swell data but I can get that from my other 2 apps I use for weather. I’m not sure if this app is for continental US use. I’ll try weather routing, but guesstimate is fine as the charts are definitely not something I’d actually rely on for navigation. Maybe for ocean crossings? I’m trying to make good use of it but it isn’t living up to the hype. I hope it makes a positive difference for others. In response to developer: thank you for the reply. I already use Windy as one of my 2 primary sources. By continental, I mean: within the USA waters. I’m not sure I would rely on routing using those maps to safely avoid underwater hazards or even rocks and islands. So I’m not understanding the emphasis on charts usage. I checked it out against my chartplotter and it did not match up. So, I say it’s better for larger crossings with deep waters where there is much less chance of hitting small islands or rocks. I hope this clarified. Thank you for replying.
  • Routes

    There is no way to import routes from other apps. The routes you do create are not available on other devices. So if I create something on my iPad I can’t view it on my iPhone. Poor design. I assume that the people that did the software are not actually sailors.
  • Useless unless you pay $80

    It requires you to pay $80 to change the forecast model. The default one isn’t accurate in my area making the entire app useless.
  • Dog water

    App is absolute dog water. The developer asks for screen shots of where this thing freezes. It’s on every boot up. Whoever y’all are using for QA and UAT should be fired.
  • Really want this to work

    My app keeps freezing up and when you click on support, it takes you to the web version of the map. I love all the info that it can give, this app is going in the right direction. Please update

    I only used the app for 15 minutes and now a year charge has hit my credit card. Please tell me how to receive a refund. Thank you.

    App freezes right after opening, will delete and reinstall and see if that fixes it.

    Great app, but the premium subscription version kept crashing and unable to use it. Tried restarts, different network, reinstall, no change. Happy to pay if it work.
  • Freezes up

    It said there was an update, so I went in and did it. Now the old version is not showing wave heights and the new version locks up the second you open it.
  • Locks up during launch of new install or re install

    Hello, I am very happy with the Windy.app and loaded Wind Hub thinking it would be good to compare the two on my new iPad. The windy.app and subscription work flawlessly. Upon install of WindHub and a new subscription it launches and then locks up and is unresponsive. Uninstall and re install and it still locks up and remains unresponsive. Very disappointing. Any help is welcome because I cannot find anything referencing this issue in a the FAQ.
