You've got the yardage — your golf watch, GPS app, or rangefinder already told you how far it is. ForeWind tells you how that distance actually plays in today's wind, so your club choice is backed by numbers, not gut feeling. Just type in the distance to the pin and ForeWind instantly calculates your wind-adjusted "plays-like" distance. It pulls live weather from your GPS location using a professional meteorological source, then applies golf-specific formulas that account for headwind, tailwind, and crosswind angle — far more than a generic weather widget can tell you. Use the built-in compass to align your phone with the target line. ForeWind visualises wind direction relative to your shot, so you can see at a glance whether you're hitting into, with, or across the wind — and pick the right club with confidence. THE PERFECT PARTNER FOR YOUR GOLF WATCH ForeWind doesn't replace your GPS watch or rangefinder — it completes them. They tell you the raw distance; ForeWind tells you what it really plays in the wind. One quick number, one confident swing. WHAT YOU GET • Wind-adjusted "plays-like" distance from any yardage you enter • Live weather and wind from your GPS location • Compass-based shot alignment to read wind on the target line • At-a-glance conditions: wind speed, direction, temperature, and elevation • Full metric and imperial support — meters or yards, m/s or mph • Smart caching for reliable data even on poor course connections • Light, dark, and system theme support FREE, FOCUSED, NO CLUTTER ForeWind is built for golfers who want one reliable wind tool on the course — no subscriptions, no cluttered dashboards, no sign-up. Just the wind-adjusted number you need to make a confident swing. Download ForeWind and let the wind work for you on every approach shot.
