bravo
Very helpful weather information for outdoor activities. Thank you Winfinder !!!
Love this app!
Very good app for sailing. Downside is the adds in the free version nowadays. For me worth to pay for pro version without adds. I would prefer an option to use wind barbs in the map.
Great!
Love it.
