The winds are wicked where I live. I always check wind speeds before I check the weather. I have tried a lot of similar apps, and I prefer this one by far.

The Information about wind speed and others are in very accurate level
★★★★★Jeff· Apr 3, 2025
So far this app is awesome. We've had bad storms the last 3 weeks and the wind speed indicator seems really accurate. It's nice to have the dew points also determine how much moisture is I. the air.

★☆☆☆☆Jordan du Toit· Jan 3, 2026
oh how terrible. I couldn't look at the wind even ONCE to test the app out without being bombarded with adds and subscription requests. I thus could not see if I like the app. Uninstalled.
★☆☆☆☆Jerry Shusterman· Feb 6, 2025
I have had this app for years and found it to be excellent in giving me the current wind and directions for my location. A couple of weeks ago it basically stopped work. No information on screen other than the message "fetching location" then ads appear. Forget it! I have already uninstalled it!
