xWind is an easy to use tool to assist pilots in evaluating wind conditions with respect to head, cross and tailwind limitations. Once setup, the xWind app provides all information in one single screen, requiring minimal user interaction during high workload phases of flight, displaying: - Current wind direction and speed - Runway course - Cross and head or tailwind components - Currently applied wind limits - 'Forbidden' wind angles based on the current wind speed - Maximum wind speed table based on current wind limits ​ Reference wind, runway course, as well as wind limits, can all be adjusted on the main screen by either dragging the wind arrow, course rose or wind limit lines. A settings button at the bottom presents a popup screen where both the units for wind speed (Kts or Mps) and the default values for wind limits can be specified. In addition to the general setting for wind speed units, the user can select the alternative units for only the current wind, wind components and maximum winds table by double tapping the wind display at the top of the main screen. When operating from a Kts country into Mps territory, this option allows to set the current wind and see the maximum allowed winds in Mps, based on limits that are still set in Kts. Or vice versa.... xWinds supports iOS darkmode. }

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.

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

The old version was perfect! Easy to use and fast. This new one isn’t intuitive nor easy to use. It’s being deleted.

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.

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.

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.

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

Quick way of finding HW and CW component. Also a great way to visualize the wind in relationship to the runway.

Easy tool to use for a quick calculation of crosswind headwind components. Can’t wait to use this in flight.

Added a new setting to give users the option of disabling the automatic runway course reset. When enabled (standard), the runway course will reset to default 000° each time xWind launches. When disabled, the last selected runway course will be maintained.
