Was great used for years for my crane to predict wind changes and was pretty accurate but now they want to charge 15$ a month for it when it was free. I used it because it was simple to use and free now that it's upgraded more complicated and cost 15$ I'll just use the weather channels app. This was a poor decision for the developers. I would have paid a yearly cost or a 1 time cost to remove ads but I'm not subscribing to something for the wind that's more expensive than streaming services

For what you get for free, this a GREAT app. We travel by RV so winds can steal our patio furniture or tear our awnings. Small print, but would rather have all the data, than big print with less data. The alarms work every time. Just need to remember to hit "save". Just looked at their website chart comparing the subscriptions. No idea what most of that stuff is for, but never saw such a feature rich app. I also use a different brand rain alarm app. Maybe add that to yours?

I have found the forecasts to be accurate and I like the detailed data from some weather stations. My complaint is with the paid services. The prices seem very steep compared to other apps for what you get, and the price packages are misleading. Ex, the pro package is 9.99$ per month with an ANNUAL commit, with early termination costs. If you truly want monthly it's 19.99$ a month. The costs and policies will keep me on the free side only. Adding a star for customer service. Still don't like $$$
