Get the live wind speed for your exact GPS location, then measure the wind directly with your phone's microphone when you want a hands-on reading. Two modes in one app — a real-time local forecast and a true handheld anemometer that goes wherever you go.

Whether you are heading out on the water, flying a drone, or just curious how strong the wind really is, Wind Meter gives you a fast, reliable answer in the units you prefer.

▶ MAIN FEATURES
• Live wind speed & gusts for your GPS location (Open-Meteo weather data)
• Hourly wind outlook so you can plan ahead
• Beaufort scale with clear, easy-to-read descriptions
• Microphone mode to measure the wind directly, with calibration
• Units in km/h, mph, m/s, knots and Beaufort
• Average and max wind readings at a glance
• Gust log and history to track changing conditions
• Clean dark mode for night use
• Microphone mode works fully offline

▶ HOW TO USE
1. Forecast mode: allow location access and instantly see the live wind speed, gusts and hourly outlook for exactly where you are right now.
2. Microphone mode: hold your phone up into the wind so the air passes across the mic, then read your measured wind speed. Calibrate once for the best accuracy.

• Anglers and fishermen

Forecast mode needs location access and an internet connection for live Open-Meteo data. Microphone mode works fully offline using your phone's mic, so you always have a wind reading on hand.
