Not in Zim ,

More time to play!

I reside in Utah and am newer to the sport of Windsurfing. High mountain lakes can be very challenging as well as rewarding. It has been a bear attempting to locate reliable wind reports. It’s demoralizing to drive an hour and a half and find little wind or not realize that the wind will be excessively shifting around as it does some days.. I am grateful I found this app! I am able to get to the lakes more often and have a much better time learning and laughing at myself. I am noticeably improving so that’s great. There is the occasional kiteboarding going on and they feel the gruff of the mountain lakes too. It would be clearly obvious with this app which day to get out and do that. See you there!

Issue with latest update

I'm a long time subscriber, constant user and serious SFBay windsurfer. I love and rely heavily on this app. But I must say that I'm not thrilled with the latest update of the app. In my most common use, I typically will be closely monitoring the wind at a particular site to decide if I should go or what sail to rig. Previously, I would just pull down to refresh to get the latest update of the reading. Now when I'm on a site and pull down, that site closes and I'm back to my favorites list. Then I might need to scroll back to the site of interest before I then click on it again. Slows me down and is frustrating. Please go back to making it easy for the user to quickly get the updated reading for a specific site. If there is now a different way to refresh with one touch that I haven't figured out please tell us!

Hi rj, thanks for speaking up. We fixed the drag down to refresh issue which was broken. We would love to read an updated review from a long time subscriber, and hear about the wind and weather data iWindsurf provides. Thank you!

Not a windsurfer, but....

I live in a remote location on the southern Oregon coast where there is quite a bit of windsurfing. Due to the remote location at the ocean, it is difficult to get accurate forecasts of any kind, let alone specific wind gusts down to the hour. I’ve used iWindsurf on my iPhone for a few years and it’s the best forecasting I can get. Also, after a strong gust rocks my place, I can check in at the closest location to learn fairly quickly just how strong it was. I really appreciate this app!

Outstanding, Jane!
