Intuitive and easy to use. ### 5/5 — Great! *2013-07-08, version 2.6* Really good calculator. Quick and easy, works great. Well done! ### 5/5 — Professional airline pilot *2013-02-02, version 2.5.1* Awesome time saver. Use it routinely, so should you. ### 5/5 — Great App *2013-01-31* This App is a great App that my husband and I use alot when flying. We downloaded the Upgrade which stopped the App from flipping when we turned the IPAD. I emailed the software designer/owner about the problem and received an immediate response. As well as, he went above and beyond by notifying me when the problem was fixed. Highly recommend this App. ### 5/5 — Version 2.5.1 fixes Bug in Version 2.5 *2013-01-31* This is again a 5 star app. The update fixed the Ipad 2 Bug that would not let it rotate and in some cases would not fit the screen. Support was great fix was quick. This is the perfect app for determining crosswind component when that is a concern. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2012-09-10* I've used this app for a couple of years now. Always works quickly and easily. When it's close to limits I leave it out for a quick reference ### 5/5 — Roj Whiteley *2012-04-30, version 2.4* This is so good. Not yet using all that it does but the basic wind/runway function is in itself outstanding ### 5/5 — Cool program *2011-12-13, version 2.4* Worth a few bucks for this. ### 5/5 — Great app *2011-11-17, version 2.4* No reviews? This app is great. Use it loads at work. ### 5/5 — great customer support *2011-10-25, version 2.3.1* great for a couple weeks..then icon gone..great customer support..found it hidden in another app icon..quick tail/cross wind reference even in "airplane mode"..to satisfy the feds. recommend..... ### 5/5 — Great info, easy to use. *2011-07-27* As a pilot for a major US airline, I appreciate the functionality and ease of use of this fine app. Loads of info and very intuitive. ### 5/5 — Great app... hoping for expansion! *2011-07-12, version 2.3.1* Love this app... The only thing that would make it even better is to add fuel gallons to pounds conversions. Waddya think??? How about an update to add that? Pleeeeeeeease. ### 5/5 — Spin-a-Wind..RECOMMENDED! *2011-04-28, version 2.3.1* I am a Capt. For AA and I love this app. It is laid out very intuitively. I use it to quickly check the data I derive from the manual. It also has useful conversion for temps, speed, etc. This is a must for your iPad. Fastmetal ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not accurate *2020-06-16* Can only use 10 degree increments and that is not accurate enough for my application ### 1/5 — Crosswind *2015-11-24* Does not allow runway heading in single degrees. ### 1/5 — Bad upgrade *2013-01-27, version 2.5* App won't rotate with iPad. Displayed info extends beyond screen edge and cannot be pulled into view. DO NOT UPGRADE! ### 1/5 — Fails to load *2011-11-02, version 2.3.1* Every other time I try to use this, it doesn't do anything. Only solution is to delete and re-install. Terrible app! ### 2/5 — good, functional app but... *2013-01-29* i'm running iOS 6.0.1 on an iPad 2 and am experiencing the same page cropping issues as some of the other reviewers. the app itself is excellent and useful, but with the display in it's current buggy condition, it is less-than-optimal... in my particular case, the strange cropping issues only affect the "wind", "temp" and "info" modes. the "altitude" and "airspeed" modes are unaffected by this anomaly. a quick fix/update would be much appreciated! ### 4/5 — Great just needs a slight tweak *2016-06-21* The app is really good all it needs is an update that makes the runway degrees not in 10s and just make it 1 degree 2 degree 3 degree ect ect ### 4/5 — Great App *2012-03-09, version 2.4* As a Airline Pilot, this APP, is great, just 1 thing , plz add a GUST, column, regards ### 5/5 — Great for Aspen *2022-10-17* With the ever changing /switching winds for rwy 15/33, I have the app holding there to make timely decisions for tailwind components. Pittie the fool ### 5/5 — Robert K *2021-03-06* Great program! When checking the winds for TO or landing, and their are winds of any speed I always check for headwinds and especially crosswinds. I have the aircraft’s demonstrated crosswind speed set for the yellow zone and my limits set for the red zone. Very helpful safety check. Please keep updating this program for newer operating systems. I want to keep using it. Thanks for the App. ### 5/5 — Upgrade *2020-07-28* Love the app use it often I wish I could move it to split screen on the new ForeFlight App 5230N If it were upgraded to work with ForeFlight split screen ie would pay for the new version. ## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — grump *2019-03-11* Great legality snapshot on the fly! ### 5/5 — Great font size! *2018-10-19* Easy to use and interpret display. I use it on iPhone and iPad. The wind function is the best I've tried. I wish you could have a few choices for color options, especially on the wind page. Also, it really needs a night mode. ### 5/5 — Does much more than wind! *2017-04-06* They should rename this app because it does sos much more than winds. Maybe: Aviation calculator? ### 5/5 — M *2016-03-29* SUPER!!! BUY IT. You will love it ### 5/5 — This is a great app! *2016-03-04* Ok, for the constructive criticism ...the graphics are a little cheesy. We don't need the lined paper look or the textures, but this app has everything necessary. The size of some of the graphics may seem large (note to developer: NEVER change the size or functionality to something slick ...just lose the colored textures). I used this app today while flying in turbulence on an iPad mini. The conditions were gusty and even while bouncing around I was able to quickly and efficiently determine my crosswind component. I have since explored this app further and set caution and limit wind values for my aircraft. I am not into emojis, but two thumbs up for this app. ### 5/5 — Captain *2016-01-23* Great app!!!! I'm a Captain for a legacy major airline and I use this every day that I fly. Thanks. ### 5/5 — Outstanding Aviation App! *2015-08-22* A modern day Wiz Wheel for pilots with smart phones. It is functional for all pilots from the General Aviation student to the professional airline pilot. A must have for your electronic Kit Bag! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
