Description

The Offshore App allows you to seamlessly download multiple GRIB files for your coastal and offshore passages. Quickly download and view GRIB files, weather routes, GMDSS maps and text forecasts, AIS data and satellite imagery. Access all the world’s top ranking forecast models for reliable and accurate weather data, including ECMWF, SPIRE, UKMO, GFS and more. Our very own PWG & PWE models offer incredible accuracy and a record-breaking 1km resolution. In addition to forecasts, the Offshore App also provides a suite of powerful marine tools to save you time and keep you safe at sea. Weather Routing and Departure Planning is calculated in the PredictWind cloud at the highest resolution. The finished route is then sent back to your boat in an incredibly small file size which is ideal for low bandwidth satellite and SSB connections. The Offshore App works with Wi-Fi, mobile networks, and most satellite connections using an Iridium GO!, Globalstar or Optimizer device. ADDITIONAL FEATURES GRIB file viewer: High resolution forecasts maps with animated streamlines, wind barbs or arrows. Tables: The ultimate dashboard for detailed analysis. Graphs: Compare multiple parameters at the same time. GMDSS Forecasts: View either in the traditional text format or on a map. Destination Spot Forecast: Know exactly what the weather is doing at your destination. Live Observations: Know what’s happening right now out on the water. Ocean Data: See what’s happening under the waves with ocean and tidal currents, and sea temperature. GPS Tracking: Get a free customised GPS tracking page for your blog or website. AIS Data: View over 280,000 vessels worldwide on the AIS network.

    It’s amazing that Predict Wind allows this awful app given the Predict Wind app works so well and smoothly if you have either cell or internet service. There are many reviews here listing the problems in that it is slow and wonky, counter intuitive, confusing, etc. and this is amazing considering how easy the sibling app is to use. What is WRONG with you Predict Wind??? You have customers paying LOTS of money to subscribe and you give us this train wreck of an app. And please don’t respond with contact our customer support bot for a hug! Fix this damn thing! This is not only frustrating but it is dangerous.

    I cruise full time, and find the PredictWind service indispensable. But this app is utterly terrible. It feels like PW abandoned development on it years ago. The interface is kludgy and counterintuitive (still, even though I've had 5 years to get used to it). You can't even do simple things like display wave heights in feet (default is meters, and it can't be changed)... or enable/disable individual weather models for routing. I never want to see UKMO, PWE, or PWG...but they cannot be turned off, and they clutter up and make the graphs confusing, and make the tables needlessly tedious to navigate. If you choose a model to display on the map (say GFS) and then re-run the route, it defaults back to PWG every time. This is all just amateurish, lazy programming. I expect better when I pay for an expensive service (I'm a pro level subscriber).

  • Not worthy of PredictWind

    PrefictWind’s service, at its core, is great, but their apps are not. (Why do we need separate apps for current, rain, and offshore use anyway???) The offshore app is the worst of them all. It’s only needed for those who are offshore without Starlink. PredictWind apparently thinks, not entirely unreasonably, that adoption of satellite broadband is becoming so widespread that an app for Iridium users just isn’t needed. They seem to have given up on improving this clunky, buggy, incredibly user-unfriendly app. Beware though: if you’re still relying on iridium offshore, even as a backup, you’ll need this app and you’ll be disappointed. Biggest gripe: If you need to make manual additions to your GPS tracking page for any reason, the only way to do it is with this app. The process is painful and buggy.

  • Company dedicated to failure

    PredictWind keeps making promises but they cause more problems than they can fix. Even their support bot is broken so I couldn’t get past entering my email address. The warning messages are completely covered up by the date on iPhone so the app is useless. Just like everything else they have done, broken by design and unlikely to be fixed anytime soon.

  • Won’t update maps

    Super expensive, won’t update any maps with a basic subscription

  • Rated by mistake but can’t remove it.

    Rated by mistake but I can’t remove it. So since I am forced to write a review, here is my one star for being so insanely expensive.

  • Now useless for land applications.

    Old app offered land surfaces in full color topographic format. A great resource for off grid land explorers. Newer downgraded version shows all land surfaces in blue color, making it impossible to easily locate terrain features. Obviously, PredictWind no longer cares about serving land exploration users. Too bad.

  • Really cool platform for offshore when paired with iridium Go

  • Doesn't work on the iPod

    Great app in combination with an IridiumGo on iPhone and iPad. For some reason doesn’t work on my iPod Touch. I have reported this to Iridium but it's been months now. Should be an easy bug to fix, no reason for it not to work on the iPod Touch.
