  • Worthless app=worthless instrument

    This update makes the whole system useless. Who needs social media to measure wind? When we are out on the water there is no internet access so when we most need to or want to measure the wind we can't.

    We were on the boat for a week and would have liked to measure wind but couldn't - no internet.

    I want to return this now worthless piece of junk unless the app is quickly fixed for to measure wind without Internet access.

  • I have no map at all

    I like the idea and the design is pretty cool too but i have serious issues with the world map. Its showing the grid and the measurements across the globe and there's no map underneath or whatsoever. This way its pretty much useless. I keen to see it work
  • Application doesn't work without internet

    This application needs to login to Facebook or be online just to start. If you are in a situation where you need this application to work but have no internet you will be out of luck.
  • Vaavud can go forth and multiply

    I bought this to use when and where I want to get a reasonably accurate measure of local wind speed. It use to work! Plug the overpriced piece of plastic in to your iphone or ipad and open the app. Simple, effective but NOT NOW. Vaavud you “children out of wedlock" what sort of update is this? Tried using it for the first time this season. I NEEDED it to measure some serious wind on the Chesapeak this evening but the app wants an internet connection and you to login to the app to share the data over a social network. YES YOU HAVE TO LOGIN TO THE APP TO “expletive-ing" USE IT….well “expletive…begins with “f” sounds like duck" you Vaavud….you pile of excrement. This use to work….FIX IT….you “fill in your own term of abuse"

  • Where is my previous negative review?

    Does App Store suppress negative reviews?

    I want Vaavud to refund the $50 I spent on their appliance since I can no longer use it to find wind speed. I don't have time to jack around with logging into an app when I need to know the wind speed, just so Vaavud can do social networking games. When I need to know wind speed, I'm sailing offshore out of range of the Internet - not the time to be told "you have to sign in so we can provide advanced features". I could care less about "advanced features"! I need to know the speed of the wind. I don't need access to the Internet to find that out. The Vaavud appliance is useless without the app and, at this point, without access to the Internet. What naive product manager approved that brilliant concept?

    I want my money back...

  • Great tool!

    Great tool, but I would like to be able to see wind readings even without being signed into the app. Took it to the shooting range and did not have enough cellular service to get logged into the app. Would have been nice to open the app and have a manual wind reading! How they can fix this issue. I sent an email from website to Vaavud, but haven't received a reply back yet... Fingers crossed!

  • Nice Tool.. Useful for selecting which kite to use. Update got rid of important feature.

    I've enjoyed both versions of vaavud wind meters, but am a bit disappointed in the development of the application. While the interactive map is much easier to navigate, vaavud got rid of the best feature of the app. This feature was a graph of your wind reading. Now, you can see the average speed, max speed, and direction.

    2/15/2016 - Cannot use the app. Upon sign in with vaavud account, app crashes. Upon sign in with facebook, cannot exit login screen. App support button on app store is a dead link.

  • Social requirement?

    I bought a tool to use, don't need to share data. Upgrade broke the ability to independently use hardware that was paid for. Stupid.
  • Social????

    Now I have to sign into the app to use it. Where does it say that in the version description? I don't want to join a wind community! I just want a wind meter. Why does everything have to be big data?
    I would not install this release again.
  • Forced to create an account

    I just want to use a cool wind meter. The app now makes you create an account and log on. I have no interest in being part of a wind community.
