    By far best app and must have for windsport enthusiasts. Using it for years with the alive wind data (subscription needed), and it's absolutely worth it
  • Thanks for maintaining sensors

    I couldn't survive without this app. It is incredibly accurate for my location in Maui. I check it multiple times a day, including at home when I'm deciding when to leave for the beach. And then again at the beach when I'm deciding what kite to pump up. I would LOVE a version for the Apple Watch! Update: the recent removal of the WRF-WF forecast model for Maui is a devastating reduction to the value of this app. The replacement TRRM model is a very poor substitute. It consistently forecasts lower wind than actual and doesn’t learn from its constant under forecasting. I’m forced to rely on the Blend model. It is also prone to under forecasting during afternoon hours, but I can just mentally add 4-5 mph and get pretty close. Unlike the TRRM model, the Blend model isn’t constantly predicting a drop in wind speed to some low nominal level—which never materializes. In contrast to the forecast models, the actual current wind speed values remain extremely valuable. 11/7/25 Update: the update today broke the app for use on my iPhone SE. 1/21/26 Update: the technical issue mentioned above was fixed in a few days, and the app works great now. Also the new TRRM wind model has continued to gradually improve and now provides the most accurate forecast I know of for wind conditions at my kite beach. I use the app multiple times each day. Support for the Apple Watch was added several months ago and is very useful. At first, the app could be added as a complication on the watch face. That no longer works for some reason, but I can still launch the app from the app list. Hopefully it will be updated again to allow it to be used as a complication.
