Used this app for some years. Works, but the new data policy is a deal breaker. They give an option to object for such a long list of partners that it's not really an option to go through them at all. Unless a proper 'object all' (or better even, default off) option becomes available I'm not using this service any longer. Uninstalled *In reply to the lousy response. It's not the ads that are annoying. It is your fake (as in not workable) option of opting out of data aggregation.

Hello Koen, advertisement can be annoying. Therefore, we offer Windfinder as well ad-free (the ad-free in-app-purchase). With the Windfinder Plus subscription Windfinder comes not only ad-free, also other helpful features are unlocked like wind alerts, advanced maps and webcams. Here is some information about Plus: https://youtu.be/28L_zeANjZc

Overall a great app. Minus one because the premium version is deceptive. it suggests you're going to get more, but you get nothing unless you're in very specific areas of the world. Don't buy it UNLESS premium is supported in your location.

Anyone who relies on an accurate wind depiction of forecast by this app is going to end up dead or lose their boat at the least , I live on the north east coast of Australia I go out fishing every day nearly Ive had this app a few months now I was stupid enough to purchase it , it's got nice colours but its a waste of money , what a useless dangerous app .
