Swiss Army knife weather app

In a crowded app space, AUSWinds stands out from other weather apps by pulling lots of different elements into one space and providing a good overview. The highlight is the map overview ( top of opening screen) that shows wind data from all available BOM sites in the area. This not only shows what is happening in real time but also patterns across the sites; great for identifying an approaching front. The ability to dive in deeper is there by merely tapping on your preferred site. Improvements? Not many but a more sophisticated use of the prediction data might be nice eg a movable timeline. Nice to have but not essential in an already brilliant โ€˜all in oneโ€™ app. Kudos to the developers!

Great for viewing BOM data

App puts together all of the BOM data in a much more usable and accessible way than navigating the BOM website. Use it more than any other weather app for marine/sailing applications. Graphic representation of statewide wind stations great for keeping an eye on approaching fronts. Very useful.

Review

It still has bugs for example, in the map screen showing wind speed, temp etc., when switch to LIST from map the it crashes the App, I suspect itโ€™s still IOS 13 issues.

Wind speeds

Since downloading iOS 13.1.2 I canโ€™t get wind speeds when tapping the arrows in wind nearby

Simple and user friendly

Great app, all the weather info I need in something that's quick and easy to use. Saves me from having to navigate pages of info from seabreeze and the BOM.

Best winds app for sailing in Aus

This and predict wind are the best apps hands down plenty of info love it!
