## Description

WEA Spotter is the app for everyone who wants to not only see wind turbines, but also identify and collect them. Like Trainspotting, but for wind turbines.<br><br>You stand in front of a turbine, point your phone at it, and the app uses your location and direction of view to determine the manufacturer and turbine type. This information is cross-referenced with the official market master data register, which contains data on almost all wind turbines in Germany.<br><br>Every turbine identified is added to your personal logbook. Common models like the Enercon E-82 are ubiquitous, but rare types and older limited-production models are true trophies. Collect manufacturers, unlock achievements, and see how complete your collection is.<br><br>Features:<br><br>• Turbine identification via location and compass direction<br><br>• Profile of each turbine: manufacturer, type, hub height, rotor diameter, power output, year of construction<br><br>• Personal logbook, sorted by manufacturer<br><br>• Rarity ratings – from common to extremely rare<br><br>• Achievements to unlock<br><br>• Map of your collected turbines<br><br>Data privacy: WEA Spotter works completely offline. Your location data, photos and sightings remain on your device – there are no accounts, no servers and no sharing of data with third parties.
