I downloaded the app for paragliding but they no longer have the icon, will it be back? it is still listed in the guides but no longer on the app. I wish it was more intuitive and customizable. I can share a private spot but my friends can't save it. I also can't make it public? can we input data? wind on some sites is consistently much stronger than the app forecasts. I like the app I just wish it was more usable. no reply to email, wish we could message for help in app.

Thanks for your feedback, Leah! You can go to your profile settings and click on the paragliding icon, selecting your sport. It's still there! It seems we haven’t received any emails from you yet. Could you please double-check the email address? It’s windy@windyapp.co. Please contact us and we'll help you with your profile, spots and more!

We live on an island and base all our anchor decisions on this app's info. Thank you for your consistency and accuracy. Update 03/28/2025 Recently we lost most features on our predictions. most data is blank and it is worse than the free version used to be. when I have the ability to look at different weather models for our cove, I'll change my review and rating. paid for version is just not worth having if I can not access any details on wind or wave action.

It's a come-on for a paid subscription. It leads you through a questionnaire ostensibly to "customize" it. Then it tells you a price. Probably a "customized" price. I paid with my time so you don't have to. This review is gratis. Edit: I wasn't annoyed by the questions. I was annoyed by the solicitation AFTER answering instead of UP FRONT. Also, free option was not apparent. Maybe I'm dumb. Or maybe it's no accident. No patience for dark patterns. We're done.

Thanks for your feedback, Bill! We'd like to know more about our users so that we can better adapt to their needs. Sorry if you find these questions annoying. Users are asked to answer them only once. Subscription is optional. Please skip the sale offer and enjoy the free version of the app! If you need help, please contact us at windy@windyapp.co

What's new

It’s a good time for wind alerts

- The new design is sleek & intuitive
- You set it once and know about perfect wind days in advance
- You can set different alerts for different locations

💡Pro-tip: When setting an alert, use the mini-map to check the spot’s layout and coastline orientation. This will help you exclude wind directions that won’t work for you.
