### 1/5 — Ne sert à rien

*2026-07-31*

Nul, n’indique que les grandes villes et ne propose meme pas de carte pour trouver les balises et les localiser facilement, je viens de perdre mon argent

**Developer response:** Bonjour, pas de problème, demandez un remboursement sur l'App Store. Si vous avez besoin d'aide, écrivez-nous à info@lionsapp.com

### 5/5 — Show

*2026-07-02*

### 5/5 — 風向

*2026-04-18*

吹流しの風向がいつも「北」を示しています
こういう仕様ですか？
iphone15Pro
IOS26.4です

早急に改善していただき、ありがとうございました

**Developer response:** こんにちは。お手数ですが、お住まいの地域をinfo@lionsapp.comまでメールでお知らせください。確認させていただきます。よろしくお願いいたします。

### 2/5 — Taugt nicht

*2025-10-03, version 1.8*

Kompass unzuverlässig

### 3/5 — Widget fehlt zur Vervollständigung

*2025-06-08*

ein Widget wäre ganz schön damit nicht immer die App zum Prüfen der Windgeschwindigkeit und Richtung geöffnet werden muss. 
Vielleicht ist das ja zu machen.

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für den Kommentar. Wir werden versuchen, ihn in den nächsten Updates zu implementieren.

### 2/5 — Boussole

*2025-04-11*

Beaucoup de bugs. Orientation Nord n’est pas indiqué

**Developer response:** Bonjour, le nord est bien visible sur les graphiques. La manche à air s'oriente automatiquement en fonction de la boussole.

### 5/5 — Très bonne application

*2024-09-17*

Très beau design simple et précis. Juste la direction du vent et la vitesse du vent. C’est tout ce que je voulais.

**Developer response:** Merci Johnny, nous sommes très heureux que cela vous plaise, en fait nous voulions faire une app simple et indispensable.

### 1/5 — Indicazion

*2024-04-24, version 1.6*

Dati errati e vento

### 1/5 — Raus geschmissenes Geld

*2024-03-19*

Jede kostenlose Wetter-App zeigt die Windrichtung mindestens genauso gut an.
Ich brauche eine eine App, die auch an meinem Standort die Windrichtung genau anzeigt und bin auch bereit dafür etwas zu zahlen! Aber dies App zeigt nur Hausnummern an und ist nicht zu gebrauchen.

**Developer response:** Hallo, es tut uns leid, dass Sie nicht zufrieden sind. Die Geräte enthalten kein Windmesser und daher können wir Winddaten nur von Wetteranbietern erhalten.

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2024-02-19*

You can’t change the north direction to point up on the screen. Frustrating.

**Developer response:** Hi Chongo2014, we will try to add this feature in the next update. Thank you.
