Turn it on indoors and it gives the same information as if you are outdoors. Where has reality gone? ### 2/5 — What happened?? *2025-08-01, version 2.0.1* This has been my ONLY wind app until recently. After the last “update” the compass no longer works at all!! Very disappointed. ### 5/5 — really good! *2025-07-20, version 2.0.1* I’m a truck driver and I consider Wineometer indispensable. ### 5/5 — Excellente girouette *2025-07-18* Couplee a la boussole de l'iPhone, elle montre la direction actuelle du vent. Et dans reglages, on peut meme demander a afficher la force en Beaufort. Cette appli belle, simple, utile et unique en son genre meriterait de figurer dans les coup de coeur de Apple. Merci Ryan. ### 5/5 — The *2025-07-13, version 2.0.1* The ### 3/5 — Speed elevation *2025-07-02, version 2.0.1* New to be able to track wind different distances above ground level ### 5/5 — Very useful *2025-06-16, version 2.0.1* Very useful ### 5/5 — Simple and Perfect! *2025-06-09, version 2.0.1* Love this app because, as the title above says, it is Simple and Perfect! It gives me just the information I am looking for in seconds without all the confusing extra stuff. It seems pretty accurate, too. Definitely an app I use often! ### 5/5 — Functional *2025-05-19, version 2.0.1* This is a very good tool when pulling a trailer cross country. ### 5/5 — Every golfer needs this *2025-05-16, version 2.0.1* So simple and so well done ### 5/5 — Windometer *2025-05-04, version 2.0.1* Love this app. I launch model rockets and it comes in very handy for wind speed & direction. Even shows the gust speed. ### 5/5 — Wind *2025-04-25, version 2.0.1* Weather ### 5/5 — Bayfishmen *2025-04-24, version 2.0.1* Perfect simple easy 👍 ### 5/5 — April 2025 *2025-04-23, version 2.0.1* Weather Network Requests: 3 TelemetryDeck Signals: 6 Location Updates: 3 App Lifecycles State: resumed …After updating to app version 2 this unnecessary text (for the user) is overlaid and displayed constantly at the top left hand side of the main compass view page. iOS 15.8.4 Edit: app version 2.0.1 has fixed this graphical anomaly. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Great App *2025-04-20, version 1.2.0* This is a fantastic app. I use it every day. ### 5/5 — Wind app *2025-04-13, version 1.2.0* Does what it’s suppose to do . ### 5/5 — Wind gauge *2025-03-25, version 1.2.0* Great little app simple n exactly what I needed n not have to pay for it.

Cerise sur le gâteau, elle est gratuite ! Que demande le peuple… Merci Ryan. A+ ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Poor Accuracy *2025-07-29, version 2.0.1* This application provides bogus information. The accuracy of data presented would be in the 10 to 20 percent range. Total trash and not be trusted from my perspective! ### 1/5 — Wildly Inaccurate *2025-02-18, version 1.2.0* Wildly inaccurate mainly due to the data source which is Apple weather I am sitting somewhere very large and very bit calmed and this app is claiming that it is blowing a boat for four and it is totally still therefore it needs a method of changing the data source Before it can be any use to anybody. ### 1/5 — Junk *2025-01-21, version 1.2.0* Won’t follow my location ### 1/5 — Wind speed never changed during a hurricane *2024-10-10, version 1.2.0* Used this app during hurricane Milton and wind speed never changed which is impossible ### 1/5 — What happened????? *2024-10-01, version 1.2.0* It used to be very reliable. Now when I open it all I get is the circle buffering. Very frustrating. ### 1/5 — Wrong!!! *2023-04-15, version 1.2.0* We were having wind gusts of 60 and the app is saying gentle southern breeze at 10mph. Couldn’t be more wrong. ### 1/5 — 50 mpg weather warning. This app says 22mph *2023-04-02, version 1.2.0* I like to take this sort of situation to see if these things work. I have three apps that all have a 50 mph weather warning from the national weather service. This app is out of the loop. Pass. ### 1/5 — 👎👎 *2023-03-24, version 1.1.0* Doesn’t work at all ### 1/5 — Useless *2023-03-22, version 1.1.0* Title says it all really. ### 1/5 — Severe Thundering Storm Warning 3/2/2023 *2023-03-03, version 1.1.0* This app is a joke, it’s currently reading winds are 25mph. Winds are gusting up to 70 miles per hour via local news in Dallas, Texas ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Incorrect directions *2026-05-26, version 2.0.1* Yesterday compass was way off, today works perfect👍🏼🤗 ### 5/5 — Brilliant App. *2026-05-26* Brilliant App. Just what I needed . Thank you ### 5/5 — Easy to Read *2026-05-18, version 2.0.1* I use Apple Weather. This app helps find wind info faster. ### 5/5 — Recommend *2026-02-24, version 2.0.1* This is a quick reference app. I do a lot of open fire cooking and I use it 5-6X daily to figure out where to place my wind breaks. I also enjoy the fact that I can check different places around the world for the wind speed and direction. Excellent quick reference . I would recommend. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2026-02-12, version 2.0.1* Very accurate ### 5/5 — It Pays To Know *2026-01-20, version 2.0.1* I like to be ready for what is coming… Not just the snowfall, the rain, the sunshine, the limited forecast you get from most weather apps… Windometer takes me right directly to where I wanna go, and gives me days of information I wanna know! ThanX for a great app! Mark ### 5/5 — Useful App *2026-01-01, version 2.0.1* Well designed and very useful app. Simple to use with an intuitive interface. Highly recommended. ### 5/5 — Très utile application *2025-12-24* Fiable ### 5/5 — It is all I need *2025-12-14, version 2.0.1* Some Apps are overloaded with information I don’t want for General Aviation and Drone Flying . Quick look at mean and gusting is all I need ### 5/5 — App just works… *2025-11-06, version 2.0.1* Well… must say… this app does not just work… it actually works quite well but it badly needs a widget!!! If I had a “druther” my druther would be for the app to have a widget… widgets get right down to business… a widget that could be set to a remote location not just where I’m standing at the moment… very useful for anyone with a remote property or wind sensitive equipment… example… antennas, towers or a shore property… --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
