The classic iWindsurf layout on the website is much better. For example, there is an alphabetical list of all my favorite sites on the left side of My iW page. Also the list of windy sites on that page is more compact with a horizontal bar to represent the wind speed. On the page for each site I can click a link to see the map of the surrounding area and I can jump to a nearby site from the drop down list. etc.

I'm not impressed with the newer version it's much slower .The favorites now list in the order from strongest to lightest so your favorites are no longer in order. It appears there are no new features other then just moving everything around and adding a new splash screen and icon. It's funny how company's waste time=$$$ on stuff that does nothing.I just moved over to the sailflow app all is well there no update yet. You can goto APKpure and download the older 2.5 version. Here I am again I just updated a 3.5 and I can't get rid of the ads even though I'm a pro member I done with the ads and contact these advertisers and let them know that i'm going to boycott them thanks

Jon, to set your Favorites sort order, go to Setup & Help, Sorting, Profiles/Favorites, and then choose whatever Sorting option works best for you! This last release was just a minor update, the more important app updates are coming soon. Yes- we are looking to improve the speed, and also the Features! Hang in there; we appreciate your support!

There are a lot of free apps to view the current weather. This app can give me the weather of a place that is more than 100 kms away and I can upgrade to view the weather of a closer location... No, thanks.

Hi Zoltán, Thank you but that doesn't sound right. If you need help finding a closer public weather station, feel free to contact our support team! You may need to zoom in closer on the map to find a nearby station. You can get free, accurate forecasts for anywhere on the globe.
