Augmented reality not functioning
Augmented reality does not work. Frozen on the initial compass direction before selecting AR.
Great app
If you’re interested in the wind direction and speed etc. Then this is the app for you. It’s easy to use and understand. Just a heads up. This app uses METAR data for its data source. So location might be a little out from you. For me who lives in Hamilton New Zealand. My closest location is Auckland Airport for METAR data. I’ve compare this to other sources and it’s pretty much spot on for my Location. I highly recommend this app and the other apps like sun seeker and moon seeker.
Just an update on this review. The app has been updated a few days after writing this review and now gets data from other observation stations so now is closer to my location and Hamilton New Zealand and is now even more accurate and will be for others. 👍🏼

Needs improvement
Doesn’t save a location of internet (favourite), shows random places that are sometimes more than 80 miles away.
It’s more of a gimmick than something you can rely on. Add favourite location with information being displayed properly at the very least.

No 3D view of Wind
This developers other apps sun seeker and moon seeker rock! They have a 3D view meaning wherever you are the app figures it out and shows you the location of the sun or moon and data. Those are AR apps. This app is just not as good.
1. The map location fails to show the wind in any view
2. The wind display is overlaid on a black screen which is not AR it’s just a simple compass view.
3. The location identifier is not precise. It shows you in a city zoomed out and then you have to zoom down to your location (which is lame, the app should know where I am relatively and show me the data surrounding me)
In my opinion this app is maybe 1 step better than Dark Sky or general apps for wind. It focuses on macro data and doesn’t help you visualize it well. But as a stand-alone app doesn’t do what other wind apps do in App Store and doesn’t live up to expectations set by Sun Seeker or Moon Seeker.

Great, informative and versatile
Not too sure what some of the negative reviews are about, but this app shows prevailing wind speed, gusts, graphic direction, augmented reality winds, temperature, relative humidity, wound data for your entire region, fast switch between reporting stations to be displayed on main display, how recent the data is (usually a matter of minutes), and probably a lot more that i have yet to tinker with! I personally have had this app for what i think have been 2 - 3 years now and love it! Maybe the negative reviews are from an area not covered, like the moon?

Excellent App.
I use this app at least once a day to check current wind direction and speed. It is simple, well designed, stable and reliable. Forecasts are one thing but actual conditions now are what I want to know.
Could be improved by providing an option to view wind direction in degrees rather than just the current arrangement of describing direction in letters representing words, (N, SE, NW). Thus a Southerly (S), wind direction could alternatively be viewed as 180 degrees.

Useless
Cannot set location. Shows only airports. In info it explains that one should touch the location button ,but the button does not exist that i can find on my iPad
Doesn't show any wind or weather data!
I bought this as part of an app bundle - (I wanted the Sun Seeker app, which has a bit of a learning curve but is amazing! Figured I'd spend a little more to get this and Moon Seeker).
This app was not ready for release. There is absolutely NO DATA displayed - no wind, no temp, humidity - nothing! Also, while there is a Locations button (implying that you can save locations) there is no way to save a location!
I'm really hoping they provide a bug fix update quickly. As it stands now this app is just an expensive map.

Use weekly
Use it for sailing, garden planning and picking tent sites while backpacking. Very useful app.
Up on deck
Great app, works as advertised, now if the developer can tune this app to show rain or snow precipitation, it would be a step in the right direction, another possible addition would be to show wind chill.
