Augmented reality not functioning

Augmented reality does not work. Frozen on the initial compass direction before selecting AR.

Great app

If you’re interested in the wind direction and speed etc. Then this is the app for you. It’s easy to use and understand. Just a heads up. This app uses METAR data for its data source. So location might be a little out from you. For me who lives in Hamilton New Zealand. My closest location is Auckland Airport for METAR data. I’ve compare this to other sources and it’s pretty much spot on for my Location. I highly recommend this app and the other apps like sun seeker and moon seeker.

Just an update on this review. The app has been updated a few days after writing this review and now gets data from other observation stations so now is closer to my location and Hamilton New Zealand and is now even more accurate and will be for others. 👍🏼

Needs improvement

Doesn’t save a location of internet (favourite), shows random places that are sometimes more than 80 miles away.

It’s more of a gimmick than something you can rely on. Add favourite location with information being displayed properly at the very least.

日本だと観測地点が少なすぎる

現在の風向きがわかるアプリですが、日本だと登録されている観測地点が空港ぐらい?なのでほとんど参考にならない。

No 3D view of Wind

This developers other apps sun seeker and moon seeker rock! They have a 3D view meaning wherever you are the app figures it out and shows you the location of the sun or moon and data. Those are AR apps. This app is just not as good.

1. The map location fails to show the wind in any view
2. The wind display is overlaid on a black screen which is not AR it’s just a simple compass view.
3. The location identifier is not precise. It shows you in a city zoomed out and then you have to zoom down to your location (which is lame, the app should know where I am relatively and show me the data surrounding me)

In my opinion this app is maybe 1 step better than Dark Sky or general apps for wind. It focuses on macro data and doesn’t help you visualize it well. But as a stand-alone app doesn’t do what other wind apps do in App Store and doesn’t live up to expectations set by Sun Seeker or Moon Seeker.
