## Description

You&#39;ve got the yardage — your golf watch, GPS app, or rangefinder already told you how far it is. ForeWind tells you how that distance actually plays in today&#39;s wind, so your club choice is backed by numbers, not gut feeling.<br><br>Just type in the distance to the pin and ForeWind instantly calculates your wind-adjusted &quot;plays-like&quot; distance. It pulls live weather from your GPS location using a professional meteorological source, then applies golf-specific formulas that account for headwind, tailwind, and crosswind angle — far more than a generic weather widget can tell you.<br><br>Use the built-in compass to align your phone with the target line. ForeWind visualises wind direction relative to your shot, so you can see at a glance whether you&#39;re hitting into, with, or across the wind — and pick the right club with confidence.<br><br>THE PERFECT PARTNER FOR YOUR GOLF WATCH<br>ForeWind doesn&#39;t replace your GPS watch or rangefinder — it completes them. They tell you the raw distance; ForeWind tells you what it really plays in the wind. One quick number, one confident swing.<br><br>WHAT YOU GET<br>🎯 Wind-adjusted &quot;plays-like&quot; distance from any yardage you enter<br>📍 Live weather and wind from your GPS location<br>🧭 Compass-based shot alignment to read wind on the target line<br>🌤️ At-a-glance conditions: wind speed, direction, temperature, and elevation<br>📐 Full metric and imperial support — meters or yards, m/s or mph<br>🔄 Smart caching for reliable data even on poor course connections<br>🌙 Light, dark, and system theme support<br><br>FREE, FOCUSED, NO CLUTTER<br>ForeWind is built for golfers who want one reliable wind tool on the course — no subscriptions, no cluttered dashboards, no sign-up. Just the wind-adjusted number you need to make a confident swing.<br><br>Download ForeWind and let the wind work for you on every approach shot.
