Bait and Switch

I have used this apps for a couple of years. This year I upgraded to basic as we are cruising up the inside passage to Alaska. The basic package says it includes 1km resolution forecast maps; 9 saved forecast locations; wave, rain, cloud, isobar maps; wind observations; and forecast alerts. I don’t get most of that. After emailing the help desk they told me I only get one 1km resolution map, as in 1 and never another and I don’t get wave maps. Those are the only reasons I upgraded. There are several other apps that will give you the information they are giving for free. Skip if you want more detail or want to deal with an honest company. If I could post a picture of what they tell is included I would.

Re-packaged Free Data

It’s a lot of money for publicly available data in a fancy interface. Their proprietary models are inaccurate, in my experience. So at that point you are just using an interface for publicly available data from providers like GFS/ ECMWF. If you purchase equipment from them like a YB3i unit, you are locked into purchasing their services, both airtime and forecasts. You are not permitted to download your own tracking data. From PredictWind customer support: “ The YB3i unit you purchased from PredictWind is preprogrammed to collect position reports hourly and send them directly to PredictWind every 2 hours. This cannot be modified, and for the unit to do this function, you need to pay the $20/month. “ If you want to see your tracking data, you must purchase weather forecasts. If you want to export your tracking data you must pay $49 in developer time.

Developer Response ,

Sorry for the confusion. It seems there may have been some misinformation. If you would like a more detailed explanation of our modeling process, information on how customers are not obligated to purchase our services, and other clarifications, please feel free to email us at support@predictwind.com.

We'll be glad to provide you with accurate and comprehensive information.

Don’t put your money on it

This weather app has been a ride, it looks nice and fancy with all kinds of features and stuff and boy do you want to believe it. Couple of weeks ago I was going to get the paid version and then I saw the price so I thought let me wait a little bit longer.
Well, I’m really happy I did.
They have been wrong a a good bunch of times, but it always comes down to “its weather” anyways.
Today I write this review because I took this App “to the bank” literally. this is the complete opposite of what they said it was going to be and what an embarrassing mistake. This weather app just screwed up my bosses, golf trip.
