      @Korina ICON works well in France, and I use it most of the time. Nonetheless, as a pilot, the compare tool is extremely useful to better plan flights !

        I'm a sailor in the West of the UK and I tend to use which ever of the models gives the best forecast for my sailing šŸ˜‰Seriously though I normally use ECMWF but look forward to using the compare facility. It will certainly reduce the time required to manually compare. Great work guys, and you're obviously listening to your users needs.

          I prefer ECMWF as it seems to be the most accurate for my location.

            @Korina hi! I use ECMWF mostly, however I'm from the south UK and the weather here can change right at the last second! ECMWF appears to be the closest to getting it right. The fun is in comparing all of them, so generally I use them all with this one coming out on top.

              HRRR model seems to be the most accurate for me via US Atlantic/Pacific Coasts and US Rocky Mountains so far

                  @Korina ECMWF! I find it most reliable for my location in northern Minnesota on Lake Superior.

                    Depends on region: When in France, the Arome is data point No. 1, in Germany, Icon-2.

                        @Korina I have been using this app for Powered Paragliding in South Africa for the last 2 years now, and I found the ECMWF model to be the most accurate. The paid pro version is absolutely worth it, especially the hourly forecasts.

                          I mostly use the Icon-D2 Model in Southern Germany.

                            For France I use most of the time ECMWF. It is the most accurate for mid long term. AROME for short term (less than 24h)

                                  Arome, it would be great if KNMI’s Harmonie was added.

                                    @Korina Find the ECMWF the most reliable for our area. Snoopy

                                      @Korina Thanks for this fantastic app: I use a combination of ECMWF and sometimes the other models.

                                        ECMWF is my preferred forecast model for long term.

                                          @Korina I prefer the European model to sail in South America, it best forecast the weather patterns here.
