MULTI-MODEL FUSION FOR UNMATCHED ACCURACY
Why Does Ventusky Outperform Competitors? Ventusky’s algorithms integrate data from the world’s most advanced numerical weather prediction (NWP) systems, each renowned for specialized applications. In addition to the well-known ECMWF and GFS models, it also displays data from the German ICON model, which stands out for its high resolution covering the entire world. A wide range of high-precision local models is available. Some are updated as frequently as every 10 minutes based on radar and satellite readings, providing highly accurate real-time precipitation data. Ventusky automatically selects the most precise model for your location, but you can also compare them yourself.

After years and years, the radar still needs a boatload of work. It doesn't appear that anyone cares to improve it. It's clunky and jumpy and very hard to watch. Smooth it out and I'll step up the stars. Even the radar widget can't keep up and the refresh button doesn't work. Useless.

Hi, in the app, there is a radar layer that has 5-minute step. Switch the layer to radar. Precipitation has a step based on accumulation – either 1 hour or 3 hours – but that’s not radar (it is only based on radar).

Used to really like the app. Paid for premium for a year. After that expired, I considered renewing but notice that the app crashes a lot and doesn't update weather reliably now. Often hangs. Doesn't do well offline either. Not sure if it's recent updates or using the free version, but either way that doesn't sell me on renewing

Thanks for your honest feedback. That’s definitely not the experience we want anyone to have — with or without Premium. Please try updating or reinstalling the app, and if the issues continue, let us know the details at my.ventusky.com. We’d really like to look into it.

I really enjoy the paid version of the app but there's a bug that crashes the app when I search for certain cities. Also, there are no states when you search for cities, so you might get six results for the town but not know where it's located until you click on it, if it doesn't crash first. I'll give it another couple of weeks to see if it's fixed before I move on to a new app.

Hi Sharena, thank you for your report. Everything looks good now. We'll add more information (region) to the list of cities in the next version—that's a great point.
