    Ive been using the app since 2015, it’s reliable and very easy to use with all the information you need, from basic wind info all the way to the technical nerdy info. The live map function is great.

    Subscription is misleading and difficult to cancel or upgrade. I paid for the lower subscription and decided to upgrade. It’s unclear to me weather I have just paid twice. Also I can not figure out on the app how to unsubscribe from automatic payments. The weather stations sometimes helpful but many of them are hit or miss because they are in bad spots.
  • 5 stars data, 0 star front end

    ikitesurf have been for years the leader and pretty much the only option for great real time wind data and high quality human forecast (in the SF bay area at least). Sadly, all that great value is packaged in a terribly dated front end, both on the web and apps. It looks likes that company never seem to prioritize user experience at all, and is content with a barely working front end that was already obsolete 10 years. What a shame. Great product, very poorly packaged.

    This is the app to use. The best forecasts, live readings, tide and current charts, all good. But I can’t add favorite spots. The app forgets them. So I have to scroll through a long list, maybe when I’m rushing out the door, to find the best place to go out
