Wind Seeker Positive Reviews and Ratings
Not too sure what some of the negative reviews are about, but this app shows prevailing wind speed, gusts, graphic direction, augmented reality winds, temperature, relative humidity, wound data for your entire region, fast switch between reporting stations to be displayed on main display, how recent the data is (usually a matter of minutes), and probably a lot more that i have yet to tinker with! I personally have had this app for what i think have been 2 - 3 years now and love it! Maybe the negative reviews are from an area not covered, like the moon?
I downloaded this app to use with my students and it's very nice for what it is. Since I had to pay for it, I would like a little more info (temp, precipitation, etc.). It would also be nice if people could submit their own data...if there was a way to work that out.
At first I got a no-data error; after a few attempts the wind data was back online. So I'm jumping my rating from 1 to 4 stars because the graphics are great, now that it is useable. I plan to use this for paragliding and hang gliding as a quick check on local wind reports; so the moving compass is a nice feature.
We do disaster relief and use See Breeze in planning our daily activities. I love the option to choose data source location and always find one close to where we are deployed. Fantastic app!
Great app, works as advertised, now if the developer can tune this app to show rain or snow precipitation, it would be a step in the right direction, another possible addition would be to show wind chill.

It’s no surprise that this app is well put together and very useful. I also have another app by this developer (“Sun Seeker”) and it’s quite superb as well. Keep up the great work Dev team!
I live in Kauai, Hawaii and this app is excellent and very accurate. I use it daily along with SunSeeker and MoonSeeker. Thanks for a great app!!! Aloha :-)
Use it for sailing, garden planning and picking tent sites while backpacking. Very useful app.
Love the interface and the 3d viewer.
Hi there alwsoume 3d weather app like seeing 3d wind
Wind Seeker Negative Reviews and Ratings
I decided to cough up the cash, after seeing a fellow kite flier's review. The flat compass with the wind direction blowing across it is slick, along with temp and relative humidity. The 3D view seems more of a novelty, but is well done. I use the Weather Channel app more so, but combine the two and I know exactly when to head out for single line and stunt kite flying.
This 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.
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.
Cannot 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
Augmented reality does not work. Frozen on the initial compass direction before selecting AR.
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.
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.
Don'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.
The app looks so poor on my retina display! Please update and I will give 5 stars.
I 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.
