I've tested a bunch of off-road and towing apps, and WINCH is one of the more comprehensive ones I've seen. The core features - the calculator, checklist, and skills guide - are all really well done and cover the essentials. It's the kind of app that DIY mechanics and off-road enthusiasts will appreciate. And sure, it's not the most exciting app in the world, but it's genuinely useful if you need these types of winching tools. Not gonna lie, the UI is a bit bland, but it gets the job done. Overall, a pretty solid toolkit for anyone who needs to use a winch.

Description

I’ve been using WINCH for a couple months now. It’s basically an app with a bunch of tools for folks who need to use a winch, like when you’re off-roading or towing a vehicle. There’s a winch force calculator, a pre-winch checklist, and a section that covers all the winching skills and best practices you need to know.

So with the winch calculator, you can plug in details about your vehicle, the winch, and the terrain, and it’ll tell you how much force you’ll need to move your rig. The checklist is super handy – it’s got like a dozen questions to go through before you start winching to make sure you’re being safe. And the skills section is basically a winching 101 course, which is great if you’re new to this.

Look, if you do a lot of off-roading or towing, you’ll probably find WINCH really useful. It’s not perfect – the UI could be a bit more polished and the content can feel a bit dry at times. But overall, it’s a solid toolkit that covers all the basics. Worth checking out if you need these kinds of winching tools.
