About this app

The app combines highly accurate weather forecast for your location with a 3D map showing development of weather in a broader area in a very interesting way. This allows you to see where precipitation is going to come from or where the wind is blowing from. The uniqueness of the app comes from the amount of data displayed. Forecast of weather, precipitation, wind, cloud cover, atmospheric pressure, snow cover and other meteorological data for different altitudes is available for the whole world. Moreover, the app is completely free of ads.

WIND ANIMATION
The Ventusky application solves weather displaying in an interesting way. Wind is displayed using streamlines which clearly portray the continuous development of weather. Airflow on Earth is always in motion and the streamlines depict this motion in an amazing way. This makes the interconnection of all atmospheric phenomena obvious.

WEATHER FORECAST
Weather forecast for the first three days is available in the app in one-hour steps. For other days, it’s available in three-hour steps. Users can also look up sunrise and sunrise times in a given place.

WEATHER MODELS
Thanks to the Ventusky application, visitors get data directly from the numerical models that, just a few years ago, were used solely by meteorologists. The app collects data from the most accurate numerical models. Besides the well-known data from the American GFS and HRRR models, it also displays data from the Canadian GEM model and the German ICON model, which is unique thanks to its high resolution for the whole world. Two models, EURAD and USRAD, are based on current radar and satellite readings. These models are able to show precisely current precipitation in US and Europe.

WEATHER FRONTS
You can also display weather fronts. We have created a neural network that predicts the positions of cold, warm, occluded, and stationary fronts based on data from weather models. This algorithm is unique, and we are the first on the world who makes global fronts forecast available to users.

Ratings and reviews

This has the potential to be a great weather app. I have the premium version, but unfortunately there are still bugs that need to be worked out (e.g. the "Meteogram" goes blank when switching between temperature, precipitation, etc.) Also, I would like if the User Interface were just a little bit cleaner when it comes to displaying the data and moving between different charts. The current display feels slightly dated, but that's just me.

Great app with many special little features but… I'm a subscriber and I have to constantly reinstall the app because I keep losing my subscriber options. Also, the first time everyday when I open the app, it won't show me the wind and precipitation. I hv to close it and open it again. Every single day! That's not that big of a deal, But having to reinstall the app, at least once a week get very tedious. Losing your saved locations every time I have to reinstall Is annoying.

Love it, love it, love it!! Particularly useful when in destinations where the weather can vary a lot through the course of a day. I've used for about 2 months now, including traveling to Alaska and Orlando during Hurricane Ian. This app was SO spot on in both situations. Don't even think about it, just reward the developers immediately with a (VERY inexpensive) yearly subscription right out of the box!!! Very well done!!!!

What's new

1) New design and colors
2) Ability to set values on the map (size, density)
3) New Aladin model in high resolution for Central Europe
4) Bug fixes
