Wind Seeker 4+

I decided to cough up the cash, after seeing a fellow kite flier's review. The flat compass with the wind direction blowing across it is slick, along with temp and relative humidity. The 3D view seems more of a novelty, but is well done.

I use the Weather Channel app more so, but combine the two and I know exactly when to head out for single line and stunt kite flying.

Not too sure what some of the negative reviews are about, but this app shows prevailing wind speed, gusts, graphic direction, augmented reality winds, temperature, relative humidity, wound data for your entire region, fast switch between reporting stations to be displayed on main display, how recent the data is (usually a matter of minutes), and probably a lot more that i have yet to tinker with! I personally have had this app for what i think have been 2 - 3 years now and love it! Maybe the negative reviews are from an area not covered, like the moon?

This developers other apps sun seeker and moon seeker rock! They have a 3D view meaning wherever you are the app figures it out and shows you the location of the sun or moon and data. Those are AR apps. This app is just not as good.

1. The map location fails to show the wind in any view
2. The wind display is overlaid on a black screen which is not AR it’s just a simple compass view.
3. The location identifier is not precise. It shows you in a city zoomed out and then you have to zoom down to your location (which is lame, the app should know where I am relatively and show me the data surrounding me)

In my opinion this app is maybe 1 step better than Dark Sky or general apps for wind. It focuses on macro data and doesn’t help you visualize it well. But as a stand-alone app doesn’t do what other wind apps do in App Store and doesn’t live up to expectations set by Sun Seeker or Moon Seeker.
