User Reviews

Users consistently praise the app as useful, easy to use, and generally well-liked for crosswind calculations. Repeated complaints focus on the input/UI experience (inaccurate field mapping and awkward value entry) and confusing, inconsistent unit handling (unit picker interrupting entry and unclear unit behavior).

Pros

Useful — speeds up and simplifies crosswind calculations
Easy to use — several users report it works well and is straightforward
Generally well-received — multiple reviewers call it a great/phenomenal app

Cons

User input/interface is frustrating for multiple users — fields can be mapped inaccurately and value entry is awkward
Units handling is inconsistent and intrusive — unit picker interrupts entry and unit choices/settings behavior is confusing

Recent reviews

OK I found the fault that leads to my comment below. You need to close the app fully after adjusting the crosswind limit. Otherwise the value is not transfered to the graphic. It is pretty good. But lacks instructions and has a few oddities for instance if you set kts for wind then the crosswind limit setting remains in km/h. Also sometimes there are green arc segments in the wind diagram and sometimes there are not! Clearly has a purpose but again no explanation.

The use interface is frustrating. The fields to enter wind direction and speed didn't seem to be mapped accurately. Touching the user defined field constantly brings up the pick list to set the units instead. Units of measure should be done in the Settings not in the app interface. Use of a drag motion to set values would be preferable to using the device key pad. I haven't explored the features because the user defined value entry is frustrating.
