I'm not impressed with the newer version it's much slower .The favorites now list in the order from strongest to lightest so your favorites are no longer in order. It appears there are no new features other then just moving everything around and adding a new splash screen and icon. It's funny how company's waste time=$$$ on stuff that does nothing.I just moved over to the sailflow app all is well there no update yet. You can goto APKpure and download the older 2.5 version. Here I am again I just updated a 3.5 and I can't get rid of the ads even though I'm a pro member I done with the ads and contact these advertisers and let them know that i'm going to boycott them thanks

The classic iWindsurf layout on the website is much better. For example, there is an alphabetical list of all my favorite sites on the left side of My iW page. Also the list of windy sites on that page is more compact with a horizontal bar to represent the wind speed. On the page for each site I can click a link to see the map of the surrounding area and I can jump to a nearby site from the drop down list. etc.
