    Default Preferred Weather apps


    I know most fishermen I know who use boats always check weather before heading out, and I was wondering what station, site or phone apps everyone likes? I always look for one that offers weather history, for mainly perciptiation which helps Me plan on the water condition.
    Today I drove over a hour to fish and then found out the fore casted 8mph winds had turned into 20mph plus substained wind that caused white caps on the lake. I got thinking about how accurate the Wunderweather app I use on my phone really is or if there is better available? I like Wunderweather for a few reasons, I can check the weather history, and then the for casted temp, wind, humitity and barometeric pressure all on a easy to read bar graph, but have found that the wind for cast isnt accurate most of the time!

    I like RadarScope for just checking the radar. I have added a link to the National Weather Service to my home screen and I have had good luck with it so far for wind, pressure, etc.

    Windfinder app shows direction and speed also the predicted gusts. Good but need glasses to read the small numbers.

    Thanks guys, I didnt even think about National weather service, I like Windfinder too, and now I have 4 weather apps on the phone to check before I pack up for the lake.

    Use Time To Hunt as well, mostly for sunrise sunset times, it picks up on where you are and gives you local info.
