Pros and cons of Wind Seeker app for iPhone and iPad

Wind Seeker app good for

It’s no surprise that this app is well put together and very useful. I also have another app by this developer (“Sun Seeker”) and it’s quite superb as well. Keep up the great work Dev team!

I downloaded this app to use with my students and its very nice for what it is. Since I had to pay for it, I would like a little more info (temp, precipitation, etc.). It would also be nice if people could submit their own data...if there was a way to work that out.

I live in Kauai, Hawaii and this app is excellent and very accurate. I use it daily along with SunSeeker and MoonSeeker. Thanks for a great app!!! Aloha :-)

We do disaster relief and use See Breeze in planning our daily activities. I love the option to choose data source location and always find one close to where we are deployed. Fantastic app!

hi there alwsoume 3d weather app like seeing 3d wind

At first I got a no-data error; after a few attempts the wind data was back online. So Im 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.

Some bad moments

I like the concept of the app, but after I downloaded it, and attempted to sync with my 4th gen iPod Touch, iTunes said the app wasnt compatible with it. Please do update the app, as the 4th gen iPod Touches have cameras too. Ill hang onto it for now in my app library.

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 Id 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! Im really hoping they provide a bug fix update quickly. As it stands now this app is just an expensive map.

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

Dont understand why the data for the largest city in Maine, portland has no data, but Sanford which is in the middle of nowhere is listed. This app is virtually useless to me till more locations become available. Gave it 2 stars because the display/graphics are nice. Ill re-rate if more locations are added.

I purchased this app on the recommendation of a fellow yacht club member who proclaimed to me that it gave wind speed and direction based on noise through the mic and that it was very accurate. As I stupidly trusted his recommendation I didnt read the description to find that it really just took local weather station data and displayed it on the screen over a compass with a wind speed. A tell tale and a hand bearing compass (or the compass on your iphone) will give you better data on wind direction because they are relevant to your condition and apparent wind at the time. I suppose if you want a quick idea of what the wind is doing without gong outside this might be able to give you a general idea, but thats about it and free weather apps will give you a whole forecast including current and forecasted wind. This is a big waste of money. IF they were to develop a fairly accurate algorithm for estimating wind speed based on mic noise this app would be worth $2.

The app looks so poor on my retina display! Please update and I will give 5 stars.
