HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (14 new ratings a month on average since launch): revenue grows with new ratings, more slowly for apps that collect ratings fast. Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2 times, and big earners tend to come out low. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

★★★★★Oct 16, 2026

I live by ikitesurf all winter in LA Ventana.! Awesome product

★★★★★Aug 23, 2026

New version has issues. Fix now. This is a pay app. Not acceptable.

★★★★★Aug 4, 2026

On Android version 17 the forecast or flow maps just so for a single time and the time cannot be changed with the slider or the arrow keys previous (thanks for fixing): On Android version 13 the widget has stopped working maybe a week ago. It now does not show anything except for the last time the wind meter was updated, no wind speed or direction EDIT: Thanks, looking forward to the update!

★★★★★Jun 8, 2026

Exelent product

★★★★★Jun 7, 2026

the UI is absolutely shameful. ugly, confusing, unfriendly and outright lazy. they also made me buy 2 separate subscriptions - one for $44 and then after I realized it didn't include one weather station I needed, I had to buy the next $119 tier separately. could've charged me the difference perhaps?

★★★★★May 5, 2026

originally i thought the app was glitchy but have since tried again and am very happy. meant glitches worked out. ikite support is very responsive and REAL... not just one person with a hobby. it's a real strong company and is relied on throughout the world for real time data with largest privately held weather station network located in better positions than government held stations, which is extremely important for more accurate readings would like a 4x4 widget of favorite display
