Version 2.4.2
Hi, I really like the simplicity of the app but in order to have it works better, I would like to know : 1. is there a plan to improve the accuracy drastically? 2. can the fond size of the wind speed. be reduced so that the directional arrow can be seen more easily? Thanks

Version 2.4.1
Sorry for just 2 stars but this app shows a wrong wind direction. Here in Germany we have a lot of windparks and sometimes this app have a 180° fault. Any idea why ? East /west have a 180° fault and north/south less...

Version 2.4.1
The windspeed overlaying the arrow is a bad idea. There's plenty of room to have them side by side. My vision is a bit poor so I can't really see (farsighted), but it's still not good. The arrow is also poor. It should be very clear which is the tail and which is the point. Finally, I have found the accuracy unreliable. Many times, it has been literally 90º or 180º off from actual wind direction, when checked physically and with Weather Apps.

Version 2.4
Does this app show relative wind speed as well as relative direction? Is it possible to show only relative direction an actual wind speed. For example if I’m going in the same direction as the wind at the same speed (say 10mph) does it show a wind speed of zero or 10 mph tail wind?

Version 2.4
Just 1 data point from using it this weekend in strong winds. The relative direction arrow was always180 deg flipped. When I had an obvious headwind, tailwind or crosswind (confirmed from the way crops at side of road etc were bending) then the arrow was always in opposite (wrong) direction.

The direction of the wind shown by the arrow does not coincide with the direction of the wind numbers expressed - funny

Version 2.3
No coincide para nada con la realidad ni en la dirección del viento ni en la velocidad. Una auténtica mierda. Por lo menos es gratis, pero no sirve para nada.

Version 2.3
Me resulta útil, pero creo que apunta al lugar de donde viene el viento en lugar de hacia donde va, una vez te acostumbras a que va al revés, está bien

If i choose temperature for field 1 (internal or from internet) the value is totally wrong. It shows a negative value, far away from the correct temperature.

I would say great, if the contrast colors can be changed. Maybe black background with Yellow numbers or vice versa

Great app and as someone else mentioned it would be nice to get better contrast between the arrow and numbers. Maybe green or red?

Version 1.2
Very nice app, easy to install, easy to use, compared to other similar 2 apps, I would just change the arrow position, the number can not be read on shadows.

Thanks, I'm currently integrating the field into my "All In One" data field, but I'll add it to my list to try to provide an option in this field to put the arrow next to the number. (Maybe something which might also work is to provide options to choose a lighter color for the arrow as you wouldn't have shadow then) Cheers, Peter.
