Questions

Everything you wanted to ask.

What makes WindUp different from regular weather apps?
Weather apps give forecasts — WindUp gives a live alarm. We watch real wind stations and ring you the second your conditions hit, even when your phone is on Do Not Disturb or Silent.
Does WindUp really ring when my iPhone is on silent?
Yes. We use iOS time-sensitive notifications and critical alerts so the alarm cuts through silent mode and Do Not Disturb. The wind doesn't wait for your phone settings.
Is WindUp really free?
Yes. WindUp is 100% free — no subscription, no trial gimmick. The app is funded by partner stations and our parent studio, Virtual Verse.
How accurate is the wind data?
We pull from a network of 10,000+ professional and personal weather stations worldwide. For most spots that's far more accurate than regional forecast cells, because it's real-time and hyper-local.
What activities is WindUp made for?
Anything wind-driven: kitesurfing, windsurfing, wing foiling, sailing, paragliding, drones, RC planes — and outdoor enthusiasts who care about gusts on a hike or campsite.

Don't miss the wind. It's free.
