What it does
- Clear verdicts — turns weather into a simple play / maybe / no assessment for each saved field
- 7-day week outlook — compare today against the rest of the week and pick the best day to play
- Surface-aware drying models — natural grass, artificial turf, clay, and hard courts each dry differently and get their own assessment
- Contextual warnings — thunderstorm risk, frost, flooding, extreme heat, morning dew, and more — surfaced when they matter
- Contributing factors — see exactly what’s driving the verdict, from rain amount and timing to drying strength and surface protection
- Recovery outlook — know when conditions might improve, from “within hours” to “unlikely today”
- Apple Watch companion — check your fields from your wrist without pulling out your phone
- Home screen widgets — glanceable verdicts that update throughout the day (Pro)
Supported sports & surfaces
Fieldwise covers baseball/softball, soccer, football, lacrosse, rugby, cricket, field hockey, tennis — plus a custom “Other” option for anything else played outdoors.
Each field gets a surface type that shapes how the assessment works:
- Natural grass — maintained turf that soaks up rain and needs time to dry, with extra protection in borderline conditions
- Artificial turf — fast-draining synthetic surfaces that play in almost anything
- Clay — tennis courts and baseball infields that hold moisture longer and need careful drying
- Hard courts — concrete and asphalt surfaces that shed water quickly
How it works
Under the hood, Fieldwise runs the Groundwise Recovery Meridian — a decision engine that combines recent rainfall, rain timing and pattern, temperature, wind, humidity, and cloud cover into a single moisture-vs-recovery picture. It checks critical gates first (frozen ground, active rain), builds a moisture profile, calculates a recovery index, and arrives at a verdict with a confidence level. Tap “How We Do It” in the app for the full deep-dive.
