An editorial reading of the saved reviews
Windy.app is more accurate than most competitors for wind and waves in active outdoor sports, but the free tier is heavily limited and forecast accuracy is unstable at low speeds. Its strong niche is marine navigation, fishing, and kitesurfing.

Sailors, anglers, and kitesurfers
What reviews praise
Out of nine wind apps on the phone, this one holds up better than the rest, especially for getting out on the water.
What reviews complain about
Wind forecasts at low speeds (7-10 mph) often miss reality; leaves don't move where a breeze was promised.
What users experience
1 excerpt from the breakdown. These are individual cases, not a verdict on all users.
As a prescribed fire practitioner I would like parameters like mixing height, 20ft wind, transport wind, vent rate. I think many of my colleagues would pay for PRO if these were options. It would be a game changer for our operations.
