Wind Vane Pro App Reviews

Useless

Dont waste you $2. Cant change location. Noway to tell what areas info your getting. Data shown disagrees with what sources i usaully use. Im in alaska and the uninteractive wind map excludes alaska-WTF over! Alaskans dont fly i guess! More pilots up here than anywhere in the USA! Usless app! Save your dollars! •ZERO STARS! • your better off just sticking your head outside to look at the wind sock

Wind Vane Displays 180 Degrees Out

App works fine, appears accurate in Oklahoma City; but, the wind vane is bass ackwards--a huge nuisance. Wait till a direction option is offerred before buying Pro.

No more than the basic version

Ive installed this app twice and paid for it twice and it still only functions like the basic version.....no winds aloft, etc. only the compass page. I dont recommend it.

Misinterpreted the "forecast" feature.

I need a wind forecast which is what I thought this apps description advertised. The current wind condition is displayed quite simply but the forecast is limited to a difficult to use topigraphical weather map. That might send a tickle up Tom Skillings leg but its no good to me. Overall disappointing. But its only two bucks so Im over it.

wind speeds never show

keeps loading and loading and loading and loading and loading--nothing else.

Cool App!

This app was amazingly simple!! ya know at first I thought, Kinda basic, but as a professional pilot, started finding myself looking at it more and more for even day to day stuff. Now, i think I find myself using it daily. I use it before heading out to the lake to go on my boat, when golfing, and esp when I fly. Really pretty cool app! Well worth the money!

Cant use outside

The display colors are dark grey on grey. Attractive to designers maybe, but impossible to read while outdoors. You know, where the wind is. Wait for an update.

Pilot

Dark display is difficult to read in bright light. It would be nice to have winds aloft in text instead of a difficult to read map.

Dont Bother

I fly RC helis and knowing the wind conditions would be nice. I tried it in many locations and not once did the arrow point in the direction of the wind. I dont know where they are getting there stats but they are always wrong.

Police

Apple should police their apps more closely, and introduce a refund mechanism. This app is a perfect example why. Simply put, this app is not accurate.

No added value

I had hoped this was going to combine options for 1) winds measured by real equipment, 2) an "iPhone" mic measuring option, with 3) a compass that would indicate the wind (microphone) direction. What i got was just another weather observation tool with a compass. Save ur money and get "wind alert" and or "wind meter" (at least until they instal a mic driven wind estimator. (now that would b value added!!!)

Easy to use

Nice to be able to switch from MPH to knots depending on what I am using the app for. Easy to use, well worth $1.99!

DONT UNDERSTAND THIS APP-HORRIBLE APP

Terrible interface, no instructions, have no idea what Im looking at. Took a match to two dollars. This app is horrible.this is one screwed up app. Shame, shame, shame developers, how do you sleep at night?

Waste of money

Cant zoom in on map. Cant change positions. Useless. Can listen to radio and get more info. Waste of $2. I want a refund!

Windsurfing

Simple, quick & reliable win reading - Needs better maps...

User

This application stopped telling me local wind speeds after a recent update. It is little more than a compass with complex maps of winds aloft

Great Support

Had problems with previous version and recent update but fix was made quickly. Nice app to see current conditions. Got quick response from developer when contacted.

Works great

After a recent update everything is great

Wind Vane Pro

Not worth it! Compass does not align correctly-and is very slow. Great concept, just not ready for prime time!

Can configure desired location

Nice idea, but the app simply shows North America and I can zoom in to a specific location. If the app gave a better UI, it would be worth it, but as it currently is.
