About this app

Perfect for all wind sports including flying, paragliding, hang-gliding and kiteboarding. WindDummy displays the current wind speed and direction wind is coming from at any of 30,000 weather stations worldwide.

***IMPORTANT*** This is a widget and will not show up in your app drawer so please do not down-vote before following these instructions: After installing, you must place one or more instances on your home screen or other screen. On older Android devices, long-press the location where you want it, and then from the pop-up that appears, navigate to the bottom of the widget list and click on Wind Dummy. On newer devices, look under the "widget" tab at the top of your apps list.

Once placed on a screen, you can configure each widget separately to display data for any of over 17,000 weather stations in the Weather Underground network. To find your best stations, zoom into the global map here: http://www.wunderground.com/wundermap/then tap a WindDummy widget, enter the station ID, click OK and you should be good to go!

No option to change units and widget it too small to read. No option or dropdown to choose nearest weather station. Un installed! The review graph says it all. More bad reviews than good.

Read the reviews and you'll see that most poor scores are from people who don't know what a widget is or can't work the Weather Underground's web site, not my widget. And what made you think that I implemented weather station searching? Read the instructions.
