The wind predictions have always been very accurate. However, they recently ruined the interface. This app was easy to use until the last week or so. Then they updated it to be more flashy. Please roll back these changes to the simpler interface!

Hello Candace 66, The interface's ease of use is very important to us and should be further improved with this small update. Of course, we understand that an adjustment can take some time to get used to. For further feedback and constructive ideas, you can reach us personally at any time via support@windfinder.com or from within the app. Ty

It gives you the quick simple info I need to get out on the water, I prefer high detail which this lacks but very it is very convient and the wind map is a GREAT touch. Wish it had river conditions. Hope this app lasts.

Hi there, sorry for the inconvenience. The software we use to query data sharing is directly from Google. Nevertheless, we understand that this solution is not final and we are working on a better implementation. In addition, advertising can be easily bypassed by a subscription that helps to improve the product. Thank you for your understanding.

What's new

- We have made searching for spots even easier! All search functions have been moved to the main map.
- Spots, weather stations and places can now be found on the main map.
