Review summary

The Wind & Weather Meter app is praised for accurate wind speed readings and a robust device. However, multiple users report the app often crashes or won't open on Android devices and struggles with Bluetooth connectivity. Important features like sharing and firmware updates often malfunction, and temperature readings are inconsistent. Additionally, the app's interface and data handling options are considered limited and inconvenient. Many users experience frustration due to these issues, leading to reduced usability and overall dissatisfaction with the app's performance.

Pros

Accurately reads wind speeds when connected.
Device is robust and durable over time.
App pairs with the device at least after initial setup or workaround.

Cons

App frequently crashes or fails to open on various Android devices.
Bluetooth connection is unstable or fails to connect automatically.
Critical features such as sharing, map view, and firmware update frequently do not work.
Temperature readings are inaccurate and calibration is problematic.
User interface lacks ease of use and comprehensive data display; difficult to see all fields at once.

2026-02-05	J *****	I may need to change this, but cannot get this app to install. tried all recommended fixes to no avail. Support has been prompt and persistent and app installed fine on my tablet. I suspect a phone issue, but it is an up to date S20.

2026-01-28	St*****	The app is not requesting microphone access in its permissions list (it's missing in the app's manifest). Therefore, making all legacy WINDmeter devices which are meant to connect via the audio jack absolutely unusable. This is because Android doesn't allow adding a permission to the app unless the app requests it (which you are not doing). It's not possible to connect the legacy WINDmeters (WFANO-01b) to this app due to this. Please fix asap.

2025-04-20	Pe*****	Absolute garbage app and anemometer. If you want to look at any of results of a past reading and you are in the middle of taking another reading, it stops and you lose all of that data. What a waste of $90

2024-12-07	Li*****	App does not run in the background, so if you need to leave the screen or any reason it disconnects. Then you need to physically press the power button on the unit to turn it back on and then tap connect in the app. If I turn it on, I want it to stay on! My Kestrel DROP doesn't do this. I don't have to go to the device and press the power button to connect to it BLE, nor does the app stop working if I switch to another app. Also, they make it hard to see ALL the data fields at once.

2023-10-31	Gr*****	The App allows you to read the wind speeds on your smartphone using the BT wind meter; however, none of the other features are working yet. The SHARE and VIEW ON MAP don't work and provide false readings. This is a know limitation to the app so don't waste your time calling tech support to resolve, as I did.

2023-07-29	Du*****	Set up for metric units and gives a mix. Also tells that an App is required to update units on the apparatus, when the App is already installed.
