Awesome app and wind meter!!!
My family and I are very active in the outdoors. I got the Vaavud wind meter a few months ago, and have used it regularly on high altitude hikes in the alps. I recently also used it at a popular local paragliding site to check wind conditions. GREAT product for outdoor activities and fun!!!
Great Wind Meter!
I’ve been using this app and wind meter for the last few months and I have say that I love it! I’m learning how to kiteboard and it’s important to know what the wind speed is so I can pick the right sized kite for the conditions. The app is super easy to use and most of all-is very accurate. The map feature is very useful as I can see the conditions in other places right on my phone, so I can find the best place to kite before I leave home. I also love that it works with my existing iPhone so I don’t have to carry a while separate wind meter with me. All in all, the app and product are great!

App ok - device is junk
I received the device from Amazon today and have tested it several times throughout the day and find the device very inaccurate and does not respond to wind changes very well. This is a day when winds have been between 5-15 mph. The cups didn't want to even rotate in the light stuff and measured 5-6 mph when I know from experience (30+ sailing years) that it was blowing at least 10 mph. And on top of the inaccuracy, it seems very cheaply made for the money... Returning product to Amazon and deleting the app.

Simplicity - Works
Great tool. Love the map with shared data. Hope they can add direction, too.
OK but !!!
No compass sensor in new iPod Touch, that was my intended machine to use. Bummer Apple....
Too few locations in the US
Not worth the time. Does not let you select a location because there are so few measuring sites. For example, this does not show the winds in Atlanta, Ga. But it does give winds at a tine lake about 70 miles away.
Very basic
Good app which works well however it is very basic. Not much too it.
Vaavud
This app is what every sailor needs!!!
No electronics
This is a companion app for the vaavud wind meter. Provides basic wind speed reading etc. Works like a charm.
I also noticed that if you have weendy app installed, then the two apps work together and you can share your wind reports to the community.

Not accurate.
Wind was blowing 20+ and I was getting a 12 knot reading. Junk
