Flight Winds

This is one of those apps that is just perfect at doing what it does. I find it invaluable to make informed decisions when flying into both my home and other airports. The perfection lies in the simplicity and ease of use. It is not cluttered and the wind components are easily understood. So kudos to the developers for providing something to use realtime in the cockpit.

The wind speed bar goes from 0 to 100kts. This is so unnecessary. Nobody is out trying to figure out crosswinds in a hurricane. 99% of the time, you’re in the bottom 20% of the scale, and it’s terribly sensitive. There’s a reason the scale on oral thermometers only go from 94-108 instead of 0-110.

This app has not been updated in years. The basic functionality is there, but it has not even been updated to fit the larger iPhone screen size. Don’t waste your money on this.

Winds are generally given in 10 degree increments. The app clicks off one degree at a time. The default should be 10 degrees (with option to tighten it to 5 or 1 degree increments). When I put in runway 26 and winds of 260 at 20 knots, the app calculated both a headwind and a tailwind component,With the tail and component exceeding my 10 knot limitation. This is not possible. Also, some limitations (like tailwind)Including gust limitation. I can see no way to input a guest in the app.

Like to see clearer, larger display. Still no X or 11 support. Not an active developer. Also, It kills audio when launched. No clue why. Sloppy coding?

I’ve been using this app for several years with no problems. Very intuitive . I frequently use it in China, where wind speeds are reported in MPS. I wish it had a provision for converting meters per second to knots.

Easy to use in the cockpit. Intuitive controls. Would love to see gust factor added.

This app has pretty good graphics but zero instructions. Abour 15 minutes after download, I deleted the app from my iPad

It does exactly what it should do. Gives you the data based in a simple to understand interface. Exactly what you need in preflight and on approach. I really wish they would develop a fuel app as well in this type of format. Thanks!!!!

Thank you so much for this application, it's just the exact application I have been looking for... It's easy, handy, fast and amazing for fast decision of which runway is in use even when you are offline..... I just tried to use it now Abd found out that the new button u added was actually good for all the runway and wind speed ... It's just great update..... I will surely tell my friends about it to get it and rate it... Thanks
