1. If you need to know about the wind anywhere in the world, there is no need to search who to call for the wind report, just download this app! You need to be at the beach when the wind is up! I'l see you on the water.Love this app, however on the latest update I seem to have lost the button on the map screen that immediately moves the map to my physical location.
2. So, please let me know whether you'd like to fulfill the commitment or cancel now and accept the fee.Can't get any forecast that more than basic unless you get a premium subscription.App does not work now, I am paying for the service, please fixNew version has issues.
3. The first thing I do in the morning is check the current wind and the forecast at ikitesurf.
4. It's how an anemometer would read or even a wind sock or flag.I use the app often for kiting and have been a paid subscriber for years.
5. For the last 20 years I have been using every imaginable forecast and I check them for accuracy against the current conditions.
6. When you call my shop to ask about the wind, I'm going to be giving you readings from Ikitesurf.
7. If that is the case, I will switch to another app.I love this app and depend on it for work and for play as I am a wind junkie.
8. Arrow should point into the wind direction listed and FROM the direction its blowing, same as the written description.
9. When the wind is up, I want to be on the water either playing or teaching.
10. The arrows for wind direction are counterintuitive and confusing.
11. I delete it, you should look for the plenty of better optionsThe app is great, but lately they have made some stations exclusive to paying subscribers.
