Wind Seeker for Negative User Reviews
✓ Doesn't show any wind or weather data!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 I'd 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! I'm really hoping they provide a bug fix update quickly. As it stands now this app is just an expensive map..Version: 4.3
✓ No 3D view of WindThis developers other apps sun seeker and moon seeker rock! They have a 3D view meaning wherever you are the app figures it out and shows you the location of the sun or moon and data. Those are AR apps. This app is just not as good. 1. The map location fails to show the wind in any view 2. The wind display is overlaid on a black screen which is not AR it’s just a simple compass view. 3. The location identifier is not precise. It shows you in a city zoomed out and then you have to zoom down to your location (which is lame, the app should know where I am relatively and show me the data surrounding me) In my opinion this app is maybe 1 step better than Dark Sky or general apps for wind. It focuses on macro data and doesn’t help you visualize it well. But as a stand-alone app doesn’t do what other wind apps do in App Store and doesn’t live up to expectations set by Sun Seeker or Moon Seeker..Version: 4.6.1
✓ Improvements NeededNeeds an option to manually select location. Then it would be of some real benefit. Idea is great..Version: 0
✓ Only Sydney :(..and no forecast data either.Version: 1.3
✓ Badly needs an update for 4th gen iPod TouchI 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 wasn't compatible with it. Please do update the app, as the 4th gen iPod Touches have cameras too. I'll hang onto it for now in my app library..Version: 1.1
✓ Needs improvementDoesn’t save a location of internet (favourite), shows random places that are sometimes more than 80 miles away. It’s more of a gimmick than something you can rely on. Add favourite location with information being displayed properly at the very least..Version: 4.7
✓ Good looking never accurateThis app has a great UI and would be fantastic if accurate in my area. Been trying to use for over a month but not had one correct wind reading, disapointed..Version: 1.1
✓ Time to fix the shortcomingsThe 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..Version: 1.1
✓ LorraineWhere has the wind direction arrows gone Updated to IOS 8 and hasn't worked since.Version: 3.0.2
✓ This app is pretty much worthless for sailing.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 didn't 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 that's 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..Version: 0
✓ Need more locationsDon't 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. I'll re-rate if more locations are added..Version: 0
✓ Retina display update?!!The app looks so poor on my retina display! Please update and I will give 5 stars..Version: 1.1
✓ How do I get out of 3d viewAnd no forecast capability.....Version: 3.0.1
✓ Ok but not a product for New ZealandDo not buy this if you expect it to work in New Zealand as the closet data source is Sydney. Make you ask the question ?? Why sell it in the nz App Store. Sun seeker was so good as this is a big let down on that product.Version: 4.0
✓ UselessCannot 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.Version: 4.3
✓ Not happyIf 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..Version: 1.3
✓ Good for a startGood 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..Version: 1.1
✓ Getting thereYes, 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..Version: 1.1
✓ What were they thinking?Went from a great icon to one of the worst ever. I used to keep it on my home screen. Now I hide it in a "folder of shame". They must have hired a new art director just out of school. ... Anyway nice app, does what it claims well. Fix the icon and you get 5 stars again..Version: 4.0
