Not worth $.99

Does not work. Don’t waste your money.


Not a good app
firesnuffer

Not accurate, wind speed showing is probably 20 mph less than is actually is .


Limited information
Menzhudson

Very basic wind information. Not suitable for sailors and while its cost is low, the data it provides does not warrant buying this app as the free version shows the same data. Disappointing app.


Does what it promises

Like the app and ability to add it to my Glances on the Apple Watch. Only request would be a Complication so I could view the wind speed from the watch face. Also only true downside is in Glances it won't allow you to chose what "speed type" you want to view. I'm not a sailor, I just want to see how windy it is in MPH when I want and not just in tiny little letters above the sailing speed. Nice job though...keep up the good work!
