Wind Meter App Reviews

I was thinking about such app, but was too lazy to make it. Good job - looks like the real thing and very acurate too.

This is a must have app for all you R/C pilots out there. Ive used this app on several occasions prior to flying at my local R/C club and am surprised how well it works. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 only because of the ocaisional "ambiant" noise issue. Ive talked with the developer and was told they are working on improving this app. At $.99 this app is a steal...

I think this is a great application. As a boater I am often concerned with weather and wind and this handy application is most helpful. I have recommended it to many of my sailing friends.

i was a bit reluctant to spend the .99 for it since most apps are sometimes just humor. ie the Finger Scan / Weight Scale. i decided that id would just bit the bullet. ive never owned a wind meter before, i never need one ... i can just pick my kite size and be okay with it and if its too much size down. i can see the novelty in a wind meter just to know the wind speed for that moment / day. However i cant justify spending $59.00 on one, so the .99 was the better deal. does it work? honestly yes, I first tried to blow on it and it read 2km. it doesnt read heater heat though. lol. i used this a park where Weather Network said 20km and app by the water said 21km. so its close lastly, it was a still winter dark bike ride home so i had my bike GPS on and drove one handed to see a reading. Garmin GPS 605 said 25.5 km and the iphone read 24 km i have no affiliation with the developer but if you want a Wind Meter, get the app.

This app. Really does not work that well at all. My iPhone is in an Otterbox Defender series case, and I had little luck getting it to work without blowing directly on the mic hole area. I have "Smule" installed, and I am aware of any wind interference that the case may present. This is not the issue, as that app works fine with all the subtlties of air as I use it. This app is just not working so I would not say its worth getting. Also if you see I am the only one to rate this in 2010 ! So that must say something. I hope that the developers can figure out what it is that is wrong. We all have cases for our phones, so I cant see that being the issue.

Works only in gale force wind, or if you blow in mic. Dont waste your time and money

Does not work worth crap, dont waste your money like i did. If i could give it -5 strs i would

Waste of money

Im just getting into dryer vent cleaning and was gong to buy an actual anemometer to test air speed coming out the vents before and after. Stumbled upon this app and figured I save myself $40-50. A friend in the biz told me a cleaned vent should output 8 mps minimum. My recently cleaned vent outputted 9 mps. Im not going to suggest this app is bang on accurate but at least I should be able to see a before and after difference with it. BTW, using on an iPad even tho its meant to work with iPhone mic.

I compared reading to my Kestrel 4000, and had to chuckle. It was within 1 mph in a 10 mph. breeze. $450.00 for Kestrel, .99c for app.

Not intuitive to use, and only actually works about 30% of the time, so also doubt the accuracy.

Why the screen is upside down on my iphone 5 is a mystery. Simple to use, but doubt the accuracy.

Can you please turn the screen around to be upside up geniuses?

Got this for a school project because all of the wind meters were taken already, its actually pretty accurate! Thought it might just be a bogus app that goes off of weather tower readings but it doesnt, works awesome! Worth the dollar.

Do not waste your .99c on this useless app. Ive never been able to get it to work.

Great app! Working nice on my flying field!!! Thank you. One problem: graphic should be nicer and clear. I can help you with it.

Needs Apple Watch support This app needs to share collected wind speed data to the NOAA to improve their weather forecasting. Also needs a map showing other users posted wind speeds. needs to calculate wind chill with temperature data from online or manual input. Use compass to determine wind direction based on which direction has the highest/lowest readings after turning in a full 360 degree circle. ability to calculate heat index. needs to display average wind speed.

No explanation on its use, came in upside down, doesnt work. Worthless. Wish I could sue!

Olive this app

Very poor application. Never have I used an application that works as poorly as this one. Half the time it will just crash, the other half of the time the meter reads zero wind in a 10-15 mph wind area. By chance it seems, one time it seemed to work. Ever since then I havent been able to get it to do anything useful. I have rebooted my iPhone many times in hopes it would fix it.
