It comes up every time app is opened. No app is worth this. I have deleted it. ### 2/5 — It’s ok *2025-12-31, version 1.9.2* I’ve used the app for several years, but now deleting it. Hourly forecast of the wind used to work well, but now you have to scroll through previous days hourly wind forecast before you can see the current day/future. Why would it ever be necessary to see what the wind was doing 12 hours ago? Features are slowly being taken away for the paid subscription, like daily forecast, and the ads to subscribe only increase in frequency. There’s better options out there. ### 2/5 — Porn spam *2025-12-18, version 1.9.2* Get porn ads while using ### 4/5 — Windy Tails *2025-11-11, version 1.9.2* Easy to use and accurate. Don’t like the ad popping up each time use it to sell me an upgraded product. ### 4/5 — Wind compass *2025-05-30, version 1.9.1* Why do I keep getting (null)(null) can you help me please ### 4/5 — A great addition to my golf arsenal. *2025-04-17, version 1.9.0* When I’m standing in the fairway and I have some doubt, I open the app and double check. ### 3/5 — Good app idea, too buggy *2025-04-13, version 1.9.0* I often have to reload the app several times to get it to load and display its data. It’s a good app w the basic info I need on wind, so I’d give it 5 stars if it wasn’t for this. ### 5/5 — Review *2025-03-31, version 1.9.0* Good app just wish it had a free version ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not even accurate *2026-05-13, version 1.9.3* At first the app worked great. Then it updated and it hasn’t been accurate at all since. The compass is backwards and the wind direction is opposite. West wind comes up as east wind. ### 1/5 — New User *2026-02-02, version 1.9.3* I have just paid a subscription but I’m still receiving adverts ### 1/5 — Explicit ads *2026-01-25, version 1.9.3* In order to remove these nudity ads, I have have to pay 12. 99 a month. Control your ads. ### 1/5 — Billing update *2025-12-30, version 1.9.2* I’m constantly getting renewal notices even after I renew ### 1/5 — ? *2025-12-30, version 1.9.2* So, I “try” to look at WindCompass and it comes up with an advertisement for the full version and won’t let you exit out of it unless you buy it. Useless ### 1/5 — Garbage *2025-09-28* More like a failed school project rather than an app one can actually use. **Developer response:** Thanks for sharing your feedback. Wind Compass is meant to be straightforward and reliable, so it sounds like something is not working the way it should on your device. Please make sure you are using the latest version of the app, then fully close and reopen it and restart your device to refresh performance. If it is still not usable after that, please go to App Settings > Contact Support so the team can review what you are experiencing and help get it resolved. ### 1/5 — Wind Speed *2025-07-01, version 1.9.1* Wind speeds in Dana Point coastal area are grossly under estimated. ### 1/5 — Dennis Joslin *2025-06-19, version 1.9.1* Not working ### 1/5 — Unable to show my location *2025-06-03, version 1.9.1* I have been using this app for several years now, and was more than satisfied with it. However, in the past week sometime it stopped acquiring my location. This is the only app that cannot acquire my location. ### 1/5 — 落ちる *2025-04-29* 最新のiosでは、使えない！ **Developer response:** Thanks for letting us know. Please update to the latest version of the app, as it includes improvements for iOS compatibility.

The only downside I can’t get it to my Apple Watch if you could fix this problem I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Does what it claims to do *2026-05-24, version 1.9.3* Very convenient when you want a confirmation of facing into the wind. ### 5/5 — Blow Me Down! *2026-05-13, version 1.9.3* WindCompass is one of the most enjoyable and beautifully designed weather and wind apps I’ve used. The graphics are absolutely stunning, yet everything remains clear, clean and incredibly easy to read at a glance. What really stands out is the reliability. The information updates quickly and consistently, giving confidence whether checking local conditions, planning outdoor activities or simply enjoying watching the weather patterns unfold. The interface feels polished and intuitive, making the app both practical and genuinely fun to explore. WindCompass combines accuracy, elegance and simplicity into an app experience that is simply outstanding. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates both useful weather tools and beautiful design. ### 5/5 — Truckers Love The App. *2025-12-18, version 1.9.2* A few of my fellow Trucker buddies put me onto using this app and I’ll say this. It’s accurate, and straight to the point… This app has probably saved many Truck driver’s job’s, and lives… ### 5/5 — Great update! *2025-12-04, version 1.9.2* Wowsers! App just got very much better! Would be great if highest wind gust recorded on a date could be included in the “Time Machine” portion of the app where prior days weather readings are stored… Also… If only the widget could show the wind at a fixed location say summer house during a hurricane or if one had wind sensitive equipment that one needed to monitor at a distance… that would possibly be another the best use for the widget!!! ### 5/5 — Tennessee *2025-10-27, version 1.9.2* Great if free. But price really isn’t bad. ### 5/5 — Behdhdbrjshdnr *2025-07-24, version 1.9.1* Dude this app is crazy was eating my pb&J and then learned that it was hoing to rain ### 5/5 — This is the best app for wind and weather *2025-06-30, version 1.9.1* I had this app in the past and my phone got water damage and I always keep forgetting to put it back on so I did so just a little bit ago and I really missed it because it’s really works so great for me to me. It’s one of the best. ### 5/5 — It’s good *2025-06-11, version 1.9.1* I’ve been using this app for a year and it is the best wether app because it tell the truth ### 5/5 — Great update! *2025-05-12, version 1.9.1* Wowsers! App just got very much better! Would be great if highest wind gust recorded on a date could be included in the “Time Machine” portion of the app where prior days weather readings are stored… Also… If only the widget could show the wind at a fixed location say summer house during a hurricane or if one had wind sensitive equipment that one needed to monitor at a distance… that would possibly be another the best use for the widget!!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
