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.

Awesome!
Use everyday for Sunshine Coast Qld. Predict pending wind changes by viewing nearby observation stations too.

A must have App for any weather watchers. I use it daily, not just locally (Cairns) but for quick and accurate updates from Brisbane and Canberra. I rate it a full five stars.

Only Sydney :(
..and no forecast data either

Not happy
if you live anywhere out side of Sydney there are no readings. Yes I would agree that this app is a good idea. But the 3d side to this hole app does not work at all you can get an idea of what it is supposed to do but it just does not do it. Note to developer: you have done 2 updates since I purchased this app but none of them deal with the fact that the 3d wind is incomplete so the app does not do what it is advertised as.

Great but have suggestion
Excellent app but please add the option to make it stay on a chosen location.

Good for a start
Good app - although I am a little disappointed that it doesn't offer 7 day wind forecasts like your internet site. Yes, I agree that it needs the option to manually select a location. Also, doesn't explain what RH stands for.

Paddle well
Nice app for paddlers. Augmented reality nice touch.
Needs Select a location
Would be great to take a picture through 3d viewer.
3d viewer nice to include wind speed with the arrows.
Great app.

Time to fix the shortcomings
The program has lots of potential, but a few things need to get updated. The location information (on the iPad WiFi) is only as accurate as the WiFi location in some global database. There should be a manual location feature to enable the user to choose other regions. Another annoyance is that the compass north always points the same direction on the iPad, that is up with the iPad in portrait mode, but to the right if the iPad is in landscape mode. Why can't this important indicator change aspect? It was really confusing at first. I hope the developer hasn't given up, but I think anyone considering a purchase should wait to see if updates are in the works.

Getting there
Yes, needs the option to manually select other locations. You may be heading off somewhere and want to know the conditions there. Also ability to predict would make this a truly awesome app... A killer app even.
Right now, I can stick my finger up in the air and feel the wind direction and approximate strength. This app is currently offering the same options.
I love the idea... Just take it a little further to succeed.

Improvements Needed
Needs an option to manually select location. Then it would be of some real benefit. Idea is great.

Superby constructed&conceived...well done

Superb, unique app
The simplicity of this app is deceptive; this is one of the most impressive pieces of augmented-reality I've seen. To see the wind in visible, animated form in 3D overlay on the camera view is amazing - a kind of fusion of science fiction with the natural world. Remarkably, it's also practical. I've already found to be handy more than once in the few days since I installed it. Recommended.
