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.

Das ist..
..so ziemlich die schlechteste Wind App die es gibt. Absolut unbrauchbar 😩
Apenas EUA
Até o momento, apresenta apenas informações de pequeno trecho nos Estados Unidos.
Great, informative and versatile
Not too sure what some of the negative reviews are about, but this app shows prevailing wind speed, gusts, graphic direction, augmented reality winds, temperature, relative humidity, wound data for your entire region, fast switch between reporting stations to be displayed on main display, how recent the data is (usually a matter of minutes), and probably a lot more that i have yet to tinker with! I personally have had this app for what i think have been 2 - 3 years now and love it! Maybe the negative reviews are from an area not covered, like the moon?

Excellent App.
I use this app at least once a day to check current wind direction and speed. It is simple, well designed, stable and reliable. Forecasts are one thing but actual conditions now are what I want to know.
Could be improved by providing an option to view wind direction in degrees rather than just the current arrangement of describing direction in letters representing words, (N, SE, NW). Thus a Southerly (S), wind direction could alternatively be viewed as 180 degrees.

Useless
Cannot set location. Shows only airports. In info it explains that one should touch the location button ,but the button does not exist that i can find on my iPad
Enttäuschend
Für Segler untauglich. Es sind zu wenig Orte hinterlegt, die Daten liefern können. Leider eine Enttäuschung.
Doesn't show any wind or weather data!
I bought this as part of an app bundle - (I wanted the Sun Seeker app, which has a bit of a learning curve but is amazing! Figured I'd spend a little more to get this and Moon Seeker).
This app was not ready for release. There is absolutely NO DATA displayed - no wind, no temp, humidity - nothing! Also, while there is a Locations button (implying that you can save locations) there is no way to save a location!
I'm really hoping they provide a bug fix update quickly. As it stands now this app is just an expensive map.

Use weekly
Use it for sailing, garden planning and picking tent sites while backpacking. Very useful app.
Up on deck
Great app, works as advertised, now if the developer can tune this app to show rain or snow precipitation, it would be a step in the right direction, another possible addition would be to show wind chill.
Ok but not a product for New Zealand
Do not buy this if you expect it to work in New Zealand as the closet data source is Sydney. Make you ask the question ?? Why sell it in the nz App Store. Sun seeker was so good as this is a big let down on that product
Nice graphics
At first I got a no-data error; after a few attempts the wind data was back online. So I'm jumping my rating from 1 to 4 stars because the graphics are great, now that it is useable. I plan to use this for paragliding and hang gliding as a quick check on local wind reports; so the moving compass is a nice feature.

What were they thinking?
Went from a great icon to one of the worst ever.
I used to keep it on my home screen. Now I hide it in a "folder of shame". They must have hired a new art director just out of school.
... Anyway nice app, does what it claims well.
Fix the icon and you get 5 stars again.

Where has the wind direction arrows gone
Updated to IOS 8 and hasn't worked since

Fast and accurate
Really like this app. It is quick to get the latest info and the 3d view is actually quite useful even if you aren't directionally challenged. Possible improvements for perfection is to report minimum wind speed as well. The min value is quite important especially in low wind and very gusty conditions (there is no app that currently supports this anywhere including online but the data is available at least in Australia. A key for the windspeed indicators on the map would also be useful but these are both small tweaks. I have about 7 wind apps installed and I use this one all the time (several times a day if I am hopeful of getting out on the water).

A brilliant app that any wind related sport or business will find truly helpful. And the 3D view using your phone or pad's camera will blow your mind!
