### 5/5 — Aplicativo Muito Top

*2021-07-02*

Mas poderia ter mais pontos na linha verde que liga Salvador/BA a Aracaju/SE ajudaria muito para os treinos ciclismo e triathlon. 🏊‍♂️🚴🏻‍♂️🏃‍♂️

### 4/5 — Прогноз ветра

*2021-06-26*

не хватпет темной темы

### 3/5 — Почему????

*2021-05-24*

Почему в приложении нету сегодняшнего дня, а только ночь следующего? Пока приложение не удаляю, надеюсь на то, что скоро добавите!!!

### 2/5 — Неинформативно

*2020-08-21*

Датчик ветра - это лучшее, что было в этом приложении. На iOS работал отлично. Сейчас его нет. О том, что спотов на карте в разы меньше чем в других приложениях уже писали. Не удаляю приложение лишь потому, что надеюсь на возврат датчика ветра.

### 1/5 — Free app with no limited functionality

*2020-05-23, version 5.2.0*

Don’t waste your time, I deleted the app within 5 minutes of install. Try and add your location and you will have a $4 charge pop up. ✌️

### 1/5 — Не то

*2018-12-27*

Илья, сыроватый продукт, информативность прогноза не устраивает. Данных мало. За точку деньги, совсем странно ещё и не сразу. Удаляю - верните ₽. Удачи, буду следить за обновлениями.

**Developer response:** Благодарим за отзыв. Нам жаль, что приложение не соответствует вашим ожиданиям. В 2019 году мы планируем хорошенько переработать дизайн. Точность прогнозов останется примерно на том же уровне. Спасибо

### 1/5 — Что это?

*2018-06-28*

Спотов нет, за добавление сразу деньги! И как узнать что оно работает?

**Developer response:** Благодарим за отклик. На данный момент в базе нашего приложения около 2000 спотов. Мы ценим не количество, а качество. Добавление новых спотов является дополнительной нагрузкой на наши сервера. Поэтому мы ввели минимальную оплату за добавление новых спотов. 
С уважением,
Команда “Где ветер”

### 5/5 — Ветер Ветер

*2018-06-20*

Интересная программка

### 5/5 — Wind

*2018-05-19, version 4.7*

Nice

### 1/5 — A bit Upsetting

*2018-05-04, version 4.7*

I professionally fly drones so I need to keep up with the weather. I was searching apps to check wind speed, Direction,humidity etc. I decided to try this app out since it was FREE. Long story short I didn’t like the app so I uninstalled it. The next morning I woke up to a charge from the App Store for $1.08! I contacted apple and found out this app automatically charged me! This was a FREE app when I downloaded it! 

“SUPER SKETCHY”

I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS APP!!
