Ratings and reviews

App is great. But the free version is entirely riddled with 30 second ads you can't get out of. Tapping anywhere on the screen forces you to the advertising app store to install the app. Even getting into the settings screen took to a 30 second ad. Tap around a few times, another 30 second ad. So unless you want to pay for a yearly subscription l, I'd avoid this if trying to keep your options free.

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.

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.
