Software Reviews and Criticism

  Can’t Imagine Life without it!

  Since we bought our cruising cat we have sailed the Med, crossed the Atlantic, sailed the Caribbean, Bahamas, Bermuda, the east coast up to Maine and back down twice. This program rocks! While near shore we use our phone or tablet, but offshore we use Iridium Go!. Weather routing feels so much safer and let’s face it our lives depend on it. Recommend spending time with it onshore, watching tutorials, and making your own notes before heading out as it takes time to learn and use it efficiently. The support crew is an e mail or phone call away and they have always been quick to respond and extremely helpful. This is the best bang for your buck when it comes to being safe at sea.

  5 Stars & it only gets better

  year after year, and with every update, the people at PredictWind keep making improvements to a product that is already, hands down, the absolute best. Having crossed both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and downloading the twice daily updates, I can say without reservation that they are the best.

  Predictwind Offshore

  Just plain excellent! Just finished 30th roundtrip to Fiji on our Swan 48 Trumpeter. Writing this from Opua, New Zealand. All downloads for Euro and GFS and both predictwind analysis took between 6 and 8 minutes with the Iridium GO. The forecasts were very accurate and the routing was key in my decisions when to lay Opua. Getting 4 forecasts every 12 hours at sea is pretty darn cool…I love this technology! Get It!!!

  very difficult to learn

  I have spent many hours trying to figure out how this site works. My $400 may have gone up in smoke becasue of the poor instructions. The on line tutorial is by a person speaking too quickly with his light hearted music in the back ground. SLOW DOWN and turn off the G-D music. . Take it one step at a time. We are not all 13 years old. tutorial means you are teaching someone something, not just advertising your product. This is a complicated product to use so try to help us.

  Shockingly good!

  We've sailed 3,000 nm in 3 months, using Predictwind several times a day to get the best route, and the precision of its forecast is very impressive. We couldn't fault it once... Everytime we thought we would outsmart the app by taking a different route, we ended up back on the predicted route, as the weather always imposed its rule on us, as forecasted by Predictwind, Jolokia crew
