User reviews

Easy to view

Great app to easily view the current wind speed. A few suggestions for the developer:
1. Make the readout more visual … wind direction and strength could easily be shown as a sized/coloured arrow or similar
2. Include more locations
3. Make an Apple Watch compatible version

Great app

Handy little app to quickly and easily check your local wind conditions before heading out! Love it

Excellent

Clean, easy to use, real-time wind stats for on the beach, with a good “what kite size should you use” as an extra bonus. Looking forward to seeing this App grow - Si 👊🏼
