Wind Seeker

Augmented reality does not work. Frozen on the initial compass direction before selecting AR.

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.

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?

Cannot set location. Shows only airports. In info it explains that one should touch the location button ,but the button does not exist that i can find on my iPad

I bought this as part of an app bundle - (I wanted the Sun Seeker app, which has a bit of a learning curve but is amazing! Figured I'd spend a little more to get this and Moon Seeker). This app was not ready for release. There is absolutely NO DATA displayed - no wind, no temp, humidity - nothing! Also, while there is a Locations button (implying that you can save locations) there is no way to save a location! I'm really hoping they provide a bug fix update quickly. As it stands now this app is just an expensive map.

Use it for sailing, garden planning and picking tent sites while backpacking. Very useful app.

Great app, works as advertised, now if the developer can tune this app to show rain or snow precipitation, it would be a step in the right direction, another possible addition would be to show wind chill.

At first I got a no-data error; after a few attempts the wind data was back online. So I'm jumping my rating from 1 to 4 stars because the graphics are great, now that it is useable. I plan to use this for paragliding and hang gliding as a quick check on local wind reports; so the moving compass is a nice feature.

Went from a great icon to one of the worst ever. I used to keep it on my home screen. Now I hide it in a "folder of shame". They must have hired a new art director just out of school. ... Anyway nice app, does what it claims well. Fix the icon and you get 5 stars again.

Love the interface and the 3d viewer.
