About this app

NOTE on 0.4.0: Sony device owners, please note that due to Sony's special hardware configuration, the Sleipnir Vaavud device will not work with your phone, and inserting the Sleipnir wind meter may cause the app to crash


Turn your phone into a high-tech meteorological tool with the Vaavud app and the Vaavud wind meter.

No more looking-at-the-trees-and-waves guesswork. Make a precise measurement of the wind no matter where you are and what you are up to.

If you are into sailing, windsurfing, kite surfing, kite boarding, land yachting, balloon flying, paragliding, hunting, kite flying, kayaking, drone flying, hiking, golf, biking, etc., etc. - Or if you are just plain curious about the weather around you - then Vaavud is for you!

The app requires the Vaavud wind meter for smartphones, which can be bought on Vaavud.com. The Vaavud wind meter is a patent pending, electronicless cup anemometer, which utilizes the sensors in your phone, and an advanced set of algorithms to measure the exact wind speed.

Current features include:
• Current, average, maximum wind speed and wind direction ( only with Sleipnir device).
• Graph with current and average wind speed
• Ability to scroll and zoom on the graph
• Ability to choose unit (m/s, knots, mph, km/h, bft)
• Wind range: 2- 25 m/s
• Resolution: 0.1 m/s
• Accuracy: +/- 4% or +/- 0.25 m/s
• Live map of wind measurements
• Measurement history

is this project dead? the app hardly does anything. it hasn't for quite some time and this is across more than one device. all it shows up as a black screen with a little plus button still let you take a reading. can't even set the unit a measurement permanently, so you have to tap the screen and then go through every unit if you don't want the default one really kind of sad that I spent fifty bucks on this Hardware there's no app to back it up with any sort of functionality. I I had high hopes

It cost 50 euros. And it doesnt do anything. I think its the worst app i have ever tried. A blank screen with a plus. And if you press the plus button. Nothing happens. This project is dead as mentioned before. Thanks for nothing....

I was surprised by how quickly and easily it worked on my Samsung S10. I found the meter itself on clearance for less than $10 at West Marine. There's a post on Sailflow that they are hosting the app, but since Vaanud is technically out of business, it would be nice if the meter worked with other apps.
