Excellent App.
I use this app at least once a day to check current wind direction and speed. It is simple, well designed, stable and reliable. Forecasts are one thing but actual conditions now are what I want to know.
Could be improved by providing an option to view wind direction in degrees rather than just the current arrangement of describing direction in letters representing words, (N, SE, NW). Thus a Southerly (S), wind direction could alternatively be viewed as 180 degrees.

Where has the wind direction arrows gone
Updated to IOS 8 and hasn't worked since
Fast and accurate
Really like this app. It is quick to get the latest info and the 3d view is actually quite useful even if you aren't directionally challenged. Possible improvements for perfection is to report minimum wind speed as well. The min value is quite important especially in low wind and very gusty conditions (there is no app that currently supports this anywhere including online but the data is available at least in Australia. A key for the windspeed indicators on the map would also be useful but these are both small tweaks. I have about 7 wind apps installed and I use this one all the time (several times a day if I am hopeful of getting out on the water).

A brilliant app that any wind related sport or business will find truly helpful. And the 3D view using your phone or pad's camera will blow your mind!
How do I get out of 3d view
And no forecast capability....
Not bad
It's a app where simple is definitely better. I used it in Australia and on my travels overseas. Incorporating the iPhone camera was a brilliant idea.
