xWind App Reviews

this app is great at what it does: simple, fast, and easy... everyone else is bloated, ugly and cumbersome!

I can’t believe this app is free. Hands down the best looking and most intuitive crosswind app for iOS.

It took a couple tries to figure out all of the subtleties of this app. But it works extremely well, it is a wonderful tool to have in the airplane for arriving at any airport after receiving the ATIS OR ASOS.

This is simple to use, easy to read, accurate and best of all: reliable. This can actual help you in the cockpit for approach planning. Great work on this app. Highly recommended.

Simple to use. After you set the limits of your aircraft there is no typing required. Setting the runway orientation, wind direction and velocity can be done in seconds. Additionally if you set your aircraft limits it will alert you when the winds are out of limits. Great, simple tool.

When I figured how to use it I liked the simplicity of it. It gives you a quick and easy way to get your crosswinds component.

It takes a few moments to get used to setting variables, but in a turbulent environment this may be the best interface available. Feature request : 3 customisable buttons to quickly set limits ( with valuables set on settings page). Eg: 30, 25, 17, for the different runway condition codes of the applicable aircraft type. Alternatively these could be different colored concentric rings inside the red limit ring already available.

Just rewrite the instructions so it’s more clear how to use

Easy to use. It shows variable wind speeds above and beyond your setting, which is very helpful. It also remembers your settings. Great app.

Incorporating gust factors would be appreciated, gusty winds are when I use the app.

Excellent, works well at what it says it does. Good interface, easy to read, would recommend.

I understand how to set the Rwy heading but that’s about it. Not intuitive.

It works fine, but the numbers are completely unlabeled and are ambiguous. I have to relearn what all the numbers mean each time and I think it could be a safety hazard if someone misinterprets the data.
