About this app

Do you ever need to know the wind speed & direction for your current location? Or are you ever curious about how windy it without having to run outside? Want to known when the sun will rise, or what time to watch the sun set? Now you can with Wind Compass!

Wind Compass is simple to use—just set your location and the app will show you current weather conditions. No fuss, no configuration, just quick & easy weather reports.

Wind Compass Features

• Look up historical weather data to view weather conditions for specific dates in history

Custom Background Settings
Customize your experience by selecting from the many different background types: vibrant colors, map backgrounds, rear-camera overlay, and even color gradients that dynamically adjust from warm to cool tones based on the temperature of your current location.

BONUS—Wind Compass always points North, so you’ll always know which direction your facing, whether inside or out.

Note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

I'm a RV Transporter. Wind is our worst enemy. When I travel I watch the wind velocity constantly by tapping the refresh indicator in the right hand upper corner. Temperature is another indicator we rely on during the winter, especially for icy roads. You can also set way points to see wind and temp to a location you are going or in between. Best app ever created for anyone traveling around the country. Thank you.

Truly love this app! It's so easy to navigate, highly customizable and gives me exactly what I wanted, nothing fancy. I wanted quick access to the wind speed, temperature and having the dew point listed is also a great future, especially in the summer. I love how it lists several hours of wind speed also, great for planing out door activities. Wind compass is perfect for me, thank you 😊

I tried the app and it is better than most weather apps as it gives you wind speeds with hourly updates and you can check the current readings. However when looking at the daily report I find it must be giving only the forecasted values like most every other app. It doesn't do any good to tell you the wind speeds for the day are 8-9 mph if the current wind speeds is 23.7 with gusts of 36.8 mph. That is bad app design.
