Winds shows you the wind direction and wind speed at your current location. The application fetches the information from the nearest available weather station.
The wind direction is displayed using a compass according to your device position and facing.
Note: You need an iPhone 3Gs in order to use the compass, otherwise the wind speed and direction are only displayed as text.
Pros and cons of Winds app for iPhone and iPad
Winds app good for
Perfect for everyone who is interested in more than only the Temperaturen.Especially for Windsurfing, sailing and People spending their freetime outsider.
This simple app is exactly what I was looking for. I downloaded it while driving across the country to check for headWinds and tailWinds. I also plan on using it for shooting and think itll be very valuable for that as well. Also the best use of the 3gss compass yet! It would be slick to be able to see how far away the measurement is coming from if possible.
Exactly what I wanted too. Now I can park knowing the wind wont come into the car and freeze the kids!
Some bad moments
For two years this app worked excellent... Ive used it with a very expensive wind meter and it has always been dead on. Up till now. No longer shows wind speed at all ! 00.000
Dont feel comfortable agreeing to the new terms of agreement. Read it very closely.
