Many of us use different weather Apps for our Smartphones but I came across this the other day and thought you maybe interested. Windfinder supply weather station equipment which feeds readings into Windguru which is already popular with many of us.

So without surprise the forecasts on the Windfinder App are the same as Windguru. Initially however the App shows a summary screen with different stations (that you select) either with the forecast or a report if a real weather station (this is the case with Thames Estuary Yacht Club which has and uses the Windfinder kit and can be added). Overall the main screens seem easy to read.

From the Screen image on the right you can see that it gives most of the usual information but also shows the state of the tides and the expected height and timing of the swell. I haven’t seen that before in a weather app.
