Common complaints

  • Inaccurate weather forecasts for 1-7 days (discrepancy with reality)12% of mentions

  • Inaccurate detection of weak wind (shows wind where there is none)4% of mentions

    «In dead calm the app shows 4 m/s and does this constantly, doesn't detect any weak wind at all.»

    «When activating the app it says you're not online.»

  • Radar available for only 5 days, no grayscale after (would prefer 7-8 days)2% of mentions
