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.
Doesn't function
My app doesn't not recognize the Sleipnir being connected, I thought maybe I needed to do an updated by I'm running the newest app and most current iOS. Emailed customer support 2 weeks ago and still haven't received a reply. Basically paid $60 for nothing. Wanted this to work so bad, Customer Service PLEASE CONTACT ME BACK!!!

This version 1.7.1 is not working on iphone 5
Previous 1.6 was working fine. I have talked to the developer and a fix will come soon in v1.8.1.
Don't Upgrade!
The previous version was much better. The graph now is poor and scaled too large, there is less information displayed on the reading screen and switching units is harder. GUI has been changed, don't like this update at all!
Okay with faults
App works fine though a bit rough round the edges. Main fault I have found is with the device. If you are the outdoor type, surf, sail, kite etc then your phone will generally be in a protective cover. The stem of the vavuud will not then reach the earphone socket so you gave to either remove case and expose phone to elements or not bother. Getting to not bother stage as have a waterproof case for iphone . Have emailed vavuud but not bothered to reply, speaks volumes about them.

This is such a good app!
Awesome app! It's easy to use after you get the meter, and it never lets me down! It's cool to no how fast to know what the wind is, and fun to show your friends and family! Awesome app, product, and company!
New style SLEIPNIR Temporary fix
Ok this is new review since 1st one I gave was 2 stars. Yes now that the app works so far it's the product I figured it could be GREAT. EVEN tho the volume kinks should have been worked out before releasing product. Vaavud did take my advice and put why it wasn't working on their web page. Thank u for that. This way you don't have people like me freeking out cause I think mine is broken. Now it works since new update and it's a fine piece of equipment. And vaavud did get back to me everytime. Thanks customer service. Now I'm Happy and will buy many many more!!
