What The Wind?

Wind made easy

$0.99

What The Wind? is a playful wind and weather app that helps you understand what the wind is actually doing around you. See where the wind is coming from, where it is blowing to, how strong it is, how gusty it feels and what that means in plain English. Instead of staring at confusing arrows and numbers, What The Wind gives you a live wind compass, wind map, saved locations, nearby observation sources and human-readable explanations with a bit of personality. Set any location using map search, check your current location, browse nearby wind conditions or save places you care about. Whether you are checking the wind at home, near the coast, at an airport, on a cycling route or somewhere you plan to visit, What The Wind makes wind direction and wind speed easier to understand. What The Wind is great for: * Walkers and runners * Cyclists * Sailors and boaters * Surfers, windsurfers and kite surfers * Kite flyers * Drone pilots * Aviators and aviation weather users * Campers and hikers * Firefighters and outdoor workers * Weather hobbyists * Anyone who wants to know which way the wind is actually blowing Live Wind Compass The main compass shows wind direction that makes sense in the real world. See where the wind is coming from, where it is blowing to and how that relates to the direction you are facing. At a glance, you can see: * Wind direction * Current wind speed * Gust speed * Beaufort force * Temperature * Feels-like temperature * Humidity * Weather source Weather With Personality Choose how the app talks to you with selectable Wind Voice styles. Keep it simple and practical, make it fun, go nerdy with bearings and details or turn on rude commentary if you want the weather to have attitude. Weather does not have to be boring. Wind Map Explore wind around you using the built-in map. View forecast points, nearby observation stations, searched places or a combination of sources. Locations and Saved Places Search for towns, cities and places using Apple Maps, then check wind conditions for that location. You can save places you care about and quickly check them later. Saved locations can show wind speed, gusts, wind direction, weather summary, humidity, temperature, distance and update status. Weather Sources What The Wind can use multiple weather and wind data sources depending on location and availability. The app can automatically choose the best available source, or you can manually inspect and select a source where available. If a selected source is unavailable, What The Wind can fall back automatically. Customisable Adjust the app to suit how you read weather data. Settings include: * Wind speed units * Temperature units * Beaufort display * Humidity and gust display * App colour theme * Wind Voice style * Weather source preferences * Automatic best-source selection * Forecast and source status Compass Accuracy Note Compass accuracy depends on your device, movement and the magnetic field around it. Accuracy may be affected by cars, metal objects, buildings, magnets, electrical equipment or other interference. For the best direction reading, hold your iPhone away from large metal objects and allow the compass a moment to settle. Privacy What The Wind? uses your location while the app is in use to fetch local wind and weather data, align the compass, search nearby places and show relevant map information. Saved locations and settings are stored locally on your device. The app does not include ads, account sign-in, subscriptions, purchases, analytics SDKs or third-party crash-reporting SDKs.
