### 1/5 — Won't display surface wind. 🙄

*2017-09-10*

Shows an error that says it can't show the wind

### 1/5 — No winds

*2017-09-06*

Error:  The layer global surface winds cannot be added to the map... nothing more to say.

### 1/5 — Incomplete and worthless

*2017-08-10*

The wind directions on sample images cannot be shown on real app.  Don't waste time downloading

### 1/5 — Global surface winds cannot be added to map

*2017-07-11*

Error, global surface winds cannot be added to layers of map. Totally useless. Just gives you a basic map no-wind current

### 2/5 — Misleading App Title

*2015-10-28*

The app is called Global Surface Winds but the app only covers USA...hardly global...
