Windy.app — Wind, Tides, Radar
A wind/marine weather tool for surfers, sailors and kiters that bundles a "Fish Pro" preset — wind, pressure, tide and a solunar activity chart — for anglers, but it's not a dedicated fishing app.
User Feedback
Pros
- Wind and marine weather data is widely regarded as very accurate; fishing forums report using it as their go-to planning tool
- Huge, long-running user base — 10M+ Android installs and 72K+ iOS ratings averaging 4.69 stars
- Fish Pro profile conveniently bundles wind, pressure, tide and a solunar (fish-activity) chart into one screen instead of juggling several apps
- Offline mode lets you check forecasts without a signal, and there's a dedicated Apple Watch complication for wind/wave data
- 8+ global and regional weather models with a 10-day outlook and model comparison
Cons
- Fish/Fish Pro is just a weather-parameter preset with a solunar chart — there is no catch log, personal fishing spot journal, or trip history
- The solunar chart and most Fish Pro data sit behind the WINDY PRO subscription; the free tier is workable but limited
- Real-time storm/rain radar is reportedly weaker on Android than on iOS
- Easily confused with the unrelated "Windy.com" app from a different company, so reviews for the two products often get mixed up online
- Onboarding asks for a fair amount of personal data (age, activities, etc.), which some users found intrusive
