Windfinder is a great app for checking current wind speeds and forecasted speeds. It is very helpful when planning boating or other outdoor activities.

I use the App often to help forecast my offshore fishing trips! How often does Wind finder update their information on the App?
AlwYs use it before we take the boat out. And even before we hit the woods.

I think this app is very handy. Check it ,always before we put the boat in, to get an idea of what the lake might be. And before hunting, this gives you a handle on which way the wind is blowing. I like it.

Great app to stay attuned to the wind changes during the day. It makes planning activities that require wind or Are better without wind much easier/ more accurate and those activities are consequently much more enjoyable.
Great Accuracy

I rely on this app for a variety of use cases - mainly bass fishing the Great Lakes region where weather dictates all. I can always rely on WindFinder to give me the latest and most accurate forecast!
