Pros and cons of Windfinder: Wind & Weather map app for iPhone and iPad

Windfinder: Wind & Weather map app good for

During the last trip in southern France, windfinder was always incredibly right, while meteofrance was mostly wrong. Thank you so much for stunning correct data.
Im using this App since 2 years, and I have to say that it is definatly the best App if you are searching for precise Wind data. All I can say is that I highly recomment it.
Love this app - exactly what you need in the pocket of your hand when you are out there looking for wind. Perfect for kitesurfers, windsurfers and other wind/sea addicts.
The two locations I use are accurate Indian Arm & Burrard inlet Nearly right on the money. Things can change and depending where you are on the water there is fluctuation, any boater knows this...
Fantastic app. Very helpful if youre a boater. Information is accurate.
Recommend this for any downrigger fisherman saves you from driving out !

Some bad moments

Big in the latest version. The wind and température indications on the "favoris" screen IS wrong and not in Line with the real figures
So... big windstorm last month, gusting to about 70. Windfinder said 7. Fail. Two other occasions, it appeared that the app was simply making up numbers. How can I trust any info it gives me?
So just like everything else in todays world. Its a half truth or less. Im on Maui. I checked for days three locations before coming as to wind strength as its expensive to travel with gear. Windfinder says daily 12-20mph its actually 10mph more on average. I mentioned this to locals and they told me "its a joke always add at least 10mph to what they have listed" So why not have a real time reading? Because that would require an effort and expense. Another scam online. Good thing I didnt pay off this. I can guess all by myself.
The latest version would not work on iphone 4s. The app closes after a few seconds!!!
Last 2 days it crashes. Reloaded, still crashes. Hence the one star. Please fix ASAP as many boaters rely on it.
Wind Finder is totally inaccurate and does not match any of the local weather stations.therefore it does not work and is a total waste of money. I live on the BC coast up North and Holland Rock which is an automated weather station has never had 15 foot seas,very very rare. As well Holland Rock does not have the ability to measure wave height.
