Love this app

I use Wind Speed to look up conditions on the SF Bay and elsewhere before rowing practices and regattas. It’s clear, easy to use, with fine-grained, pastel, color-coded hourly and daily wind speed and direction forecasts. It’s aesthetically rich with a zoomable world map and satellite imagery showing water depths and topography, along useful additional weather data and summary forecasts. The app is a joy to use. Makes getting up at 5am a little easier , especially if you add coffee.

Thank you for the review!

Exasperatingly slow with what is accessible.

Useless app with what comes with the free version. I am on 1 gig service using the 5th generation ipad and I could never get any of the layers to come in less than 60 minutes of time even using the hints provided within the app. Can’t get any other graphics other than provided with the map layers of which really isn’t of any use if you need updated weather in a timely manner. Waiting 60 seconds for radar is insane when you can get instant radar in an app called MY Radar with much better resolution and lightning data.

Get an app called Windy for wind data, or weather bug for better graphics and better performance.

Wind....look no further

Great app for its intended purpose and that is to zero in on wind direction and intensity. Would get five stars if there was a “locate me” button to click for quick pinpointing of where you are when maybe you are hunting, etc and don’t know exactly where you are or you don’t want to have to open a gps or maps app to do so and then come back to this app. (Edited review....now 5 stars)

Developer Response ,

Hi, thanks for the review. In the most recent update (1.1.1) I added a 'current location / locate me' button (top right) to help quickly zoom the map to your current location and access weather / wind data.

After you check out the new update, please consider editing your review if you enjoy the update. Thanks again for the feedback.
