Beware of deceptive pricing

By CompSciPhd
I sprung for the $249/quarter subscription because I had a difficult passage to make where weather information was critical. After the passage was completed, I forgot to cancel my subscription. Without any advance notice, PredictWind charged my credit card an additional $249. A more customer-focused (ethical) company would have given some advance notice, but no. Ok, my bad — I should have remembered to cancel the service. I then went to the site to discontinue the auto billing, and I found that the only way is to “downgrade” to the free service, which I did. Now I am helping a friend do another difficult passage and I find that I cannot use the professional features of the site, even though I paid for them. Evil. I swear, this company will never,ever get another penny from me.
Love this app

I have been using this app for 5 years now and you can always count on it’s accuracy.
Interfacing with B&G

By Ragpacker
I purchased a standard edition (as that is what the AI chat box said I needed) to interface with my B&G Zeus3 MFD. Everytime I would try and login on the MFD I always got wrong user name or password. I could login on my phone or computer with the same credentials without issue but it will not connect on B&G.
Good but realize the limitations

Predictwind gives mariners easy access to the world’s leading weather models. It’s easy to use and well laid out. It also wildly oversells what it can really do for you. Global weather models do not account for many local factors that shape the weather you actually experience and are only really useful in combination with other information, especially professional meteorological forecasts. So features like weather routing should be taken with a shaker of salt since a carefully computed optimal route is useless if the actual wind is 50 degrees off from the predicted direction. So I’m glad I have it but it’s just another data point rather than a reliable predictor of weather.
Great resource

I often check this site while on the water to monitor it’s accuracy. I find it is very accurate.
As fishermen on Lake Michigan know, you can never have enough good intel.
