App Review
Tried a few of these Apps but this is definitely the most user friendly. Highly recommend. Use it all the time flying.
Great Display, Scales should be recalibrated
The wind speed bar goes from 0 to 100kts. This is so unnecessary. Nobody is out trying to figure out crosswinds in a hurricane.
99% of the time, you’re in the bottom 20% of the scale, and it’s terribly sensitive. There’s a reason the scale on oral thermometers only go from 94-108 instead of 0-110.

Not worth the money.
This app has not been updated in years. The basic functionality is there, but it has not even been updated to fit the larger iPhone screen size. Don’t waste your money on this.
Too limiting and inaccurate
Winds are generally given in 10 degree increments. The app clicks off one degree at a time. The default should be 10 degrees (with option to tighten it to 5 or 1 degree increments).
When I put in runway 26 and winds of 260 at 20 knots, the app calculated both a headwind and a tailwind component,With the tail and component exceeding my 10 knot limitation. This is not possible. Also, some limitations (like tailwind)Including gust limitation. I can see no way to input a guest in the app.

Response from developer
I'm sorry to hear that the app didn't live up to your expectations. Regarding the first point, the app already allows you to increment by 10º. to accomplish this, long-press the +/- buttons. As for the second point, please take a second look at the app's user interface. The display simultaneously shows wind components for both runway directions, in this case, 26 and 08. So, in the described scenario, the app doesn't indicate that you've exceeded both tailwind and headwind limits for runway 26 simultaneously, as stated in the review. Instead, it shows that runway 26 headwind limit and runway 08 tailwind limit have been exceeded. Not the headwind and tailwind limits for the same runway direction. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you like to explore this further. Safe flying
Where is meters per second for wind speed?!?!?!?
Update your application. I can see only knots, miles per hour and km/h

It’s very useful and well visually adopted app
Pretty good
Like to see clearer, larger display. Still no X or 11 support. Not an active developer.
Also, It kills audio when launched. No clue why. Sloppy coding?

Simple and easy to use.
I’ve been using this app for several years with no problems. Very intuitive . I frequently use it in China, where wind speeds are reported in MPS. I wish it had a provision for converting meters per second to knots.
Cool app, easy to use
Easy to use in the cockpit. Intuitive controls. Would love to see gust factor added.
Few or no instructions
This app has pretty good graphics but zero instructions. Abour 15 minutes after download, I deleted the app from my iPad
Awesome
It does exactly what it should do. Gives you the data based in a simple to understand interface. Exactly what you need in preflight and on approach. I really wish they would develop a fuel app as well in this type of format.
Thanks!!!!
Thanks!!!!
An example of what an app should be!
This is one of those apps that is just perfect at doing what it does. I find it invaluable to make informed decisions when flying into both my home and other airports. The perfection lies in the simplicity and ease of use. It is not cluttered and the wind components are easily understood. So kudos to the developers for providing something to use realtime in the cockpit.

Perfect
This app is perfect. Very simple to use and does exactly what it says. I love the fact you can set max limits so you can see instantly what you can and can't accept for operating.
The interface is simple and really nice to use.
I don't mind paying for apps when they are as good as this.

Good app
HDG - 322°
Wind direction - 12°
Velocity - 32 kts.
x-Wind is not 25 kts.!!!!!!!! It is - 24,5 kts.!!!!! It is very important!!!

Excellent
Quick and easy to use. Works well with iPad Air (retina) and IOS 7.
Its a Great Application
Thank you so much for this application, it's just the exact application I have been looking for... It's easy, handy, fast and amazing for fast decision of which runway is in use even when you are offline..... I just tried to use it now Abd found out that the new button u added was actually good for all the runway and wind speed ... It's just great update.....
I will surely tell my friends about it to get it and rate it... Thanks

Auto Rotate would be a big improvement
I definitely like this free app. The 1 big improvement would be to add auto rotation from portrait to landscape mode. In the cockpit I mount my iPad in landscape mode which makes using this app a little bit of a pain. Otherwise, it's very helpful and has attractive graphics.
Great app
Very simple and very useful, get it!
Very good
Simple and very useful app! Thank you
