It works equally well on the iPhone and iPad. It’s a no brainer; get this app. ### 5/5 — Best wind app I've found *2013-05-25* Good maps and use of wind feeds that other apps don't use. Would be nice to have an alert function like the kr app. ### 5/5 — My favorite app *2013-03-13* This is the app I use most. With one touch I get instant access to the bom wind for westernport. Also use for weather. ### 5/5 — Good app *2012-06-20* Great app for local fisherman/sailors gives a heap of info in real time, recommend it ### 1/5 — Ordinary *2011-12-24* I live on the bay and check this app regularly. It uses info from other sources and just collates it. Other info is regularly incorrect and so is this app. Wouldn't buy again. ### 4/5 — Great app just got better *2011-10-28* I had trouble with this release and emailed the developer. They worked tirelessly to sort it out over multiple emails and I have to say it was worth it. As a sailor I have used this app almost daily since its initial release. It's not flashy, but it gives me access to the info I need to determine if, when and where I sail. The new version refines and expands the coverage. Great work! On another note, there has been no charge since the initial release. I for one would be happy to pay for continued development on this app (at a reasonable cost of course). I don't expect continual improvements for nothing. ### 1/5 — Useless *2011-10-28* Hopeless does not work crashes with OS5. Had to load original app. To use it. What a waste of time. ### 5/5 — Melb Winds *2011-07-29* Great app that collates all the BOM Wind data...not only for Melbourne but all the way along the Vicco coast! Great for sailing road trips and checking where its blowing... ### 4/5 — Nearly.... *2011-04-05* With the new update, it doesn't crash on me anymore, but when I select BOM, I get Sea Breeze. When I select Sea Breeze, I get Gipplsand and so on...so I have to select 1 above what I want. Sea Breeze graphics are a bit ordinary. Apart from that, everything else works well. I can find what wind is where and what it's going to do and that, after all, is the whole point of the app. Definitely worth while with room for a little improvement. ## Frequently asked questions about MelbWinds ### What is MelbWinds?
