WindAlert Customer Insights

1. Now it's deleted from all my devices and the advertising subscription base.Just put in your zip code and pick the closest place to you and bam! You get wind direction, speed, day, time, and a weather icon on an easy to read graph! However, the gust, sky, temperature and hour labels on the left side of the graph are offset.

2. I would have paid a yearly cost or a 1 time cost to remove ads but I'm not subscribing to something for the wind that's more expensive than streaming servicesFor what you get for free, this a GREAT app.

3. No obvious way to set default page on opening app, have to first see unnecessary home page.I have found the forecasts to be accurate and I like the detailed data from some weather stations.

4. Was great used for years for my crane to predict wind changes and was pretty accurate but now they want to charge 15$ a month for it when it was free.

5. Too bad.Was a HotShot delivering campers across the country, couldn't have done it without knowing how the wind was in Wyoming.Used to be a good economical app until they turned all of the most usefull stations into a $9.99 per month payment scheme .

6. As I said, the forecasts USED to be totally spot on, then they went to a paid model, and it's useless otherwise.

7. Not going to spend over a grand per year to see the current wind at my local spot.

8. I used it because it was simple to use and free now that it's upgraded more complicated and cost 15$ I'll just use the weather channels app.

9. Still don't like $$$These forecasts used to be spot on almost always.. Ever since they moved most of their forecasts behind a pay wall, they've all been consistently off.

10. Total bs now, even the paid forecasts.

11. Data and text often too small to read.
