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 windhub@windhub.com.

Ratings and Reviews
Almost perfect
I just wish that there was a way to look at an hourly forecast like windy has, also being able to change to a dark mode would be nice. So really just a few more customization options would be awesome. Another good one might be the option for military time or 12 am hours 12 pm hours.

Hello! Thank you so much for your feedback and specific recommendations on how to improve the app! It's very valuable and helpful! If anything else comes to mind - our user support at windhub@windhub.com would be happy to hear from you!
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.

Hello! We highly appreciate your detailed feedback! We will take your comments about the radar into account and consider them for future development of the feature. By 'continental use' you mean the routing by land, right? If yes then we'd be happy to suggest you to try out our core app called Windy.app. It has feature called 'Forecast along the route', created for hikers, cyclists and drivers - maybe it may be of use to you. Please contact us at windhub@windhub.com for more information and promo code for 1 month of free access to PRO. In addition, we can help you cancel your subscription and get a refund if you wish.

Thanks for the feedback on my review. Front and wind barbs would be most appreciated on the free version. These are basic weather functions that I would like to see when taking an extended kayak trip (I will go about 6 to 10 miles in an 8 foot kayak).
I do understand data costs and there is no such thing as a free lunch but frontal positions are not updated that frequently. Wind barbs, I use the Windy app as it covers my aviation and nautical needs.
You got a great windy app. This does seem to duplicate that app in many ways of which I ended up going back to.

ORIGINAL Review below.
Requires in app purchase to view fronts and wind barbs.
As is, can only view winds and wind gusts of which your other app Windy covers that.

UPD: Thank you, again! all of this will be take into account.
Hello Allen! Thank you for your feedback! Do you find the fronts and wind barbs to be useful? Windhub is a young app and we plan to expand the list of free and paid features and data layers. Your suggestions on what should be added in the first place are very welcome at windhub@windhub.com or through the feedback form of the app.
