WindFreak

WindFreak is a global wind and wave forecast solution. It was designed with Surfers, Kitesurfers, Windsurfers, sailors and all other wind-sport enthusiasts in mind. It uses a very clean and intuitive interface unlike any other forecast applications on the Android market.

Currently WindFreak uses GFS and NWW3 forecast data, but with the support of the users WindFreak aims to run high resolution WRF models on a new server in the near future.

-------------------


Current features include:


Homescreen Widgets: Showing average or max wind for 4 days (Pro version has 4 widgets with a max wind forecast).


Favourites: Store your favourite spots (Store 15 on the pro version), All Favourite forecasts will be cached for offline use (great when you have no signal on a trip).


Two forecast layouts: Horizontal and vertical scrolling forecast layouts that switch as you rotate the phone.


Share a Forecast: Share a day’s forecast with friends by simply holding the chosen day down, and sharing to facebook, gmail, or other social media.


Favourite menu: Press menu to get details of the forecast Run, (Webcams and Live Wind coming soon).


Request a Spot: Become Part of the community and Help me out by requesting a spot.


Choose From Map: Pick any location on the planet from Google maps, and get a forecast! Only 6 “Choose from Map”s available with the free version version due to the fact it takes a lot of server power (Unlimited on the Pro version).

I have spent best part of 9 months setting up this app and the forecast manipulation server behind it. I’d really like to continue to develop it further and run some cool high-res WRF models on a good server; however, I’ve just graduated and have negative money. If you can’t afford to get the Pro version, have an awesome time with the basic version. If you can afford the pro version then you're helping support this project, thanks!

More features will be added!

If you can afford to support my project and help me to continue to develop the WindFreak platform it would be greatly appreciated if you get the Pro version, plus it has more awesomeness to it!
