We might’ve missed Monday’s post covering paid iPhone and iPad apps on sale for free because we were so busy with WWDC 2017, but we made up for it with Tuesday’s list. In fact, there are still a few freebies in there if you go back and check it out. Of course Wednesday is a brand new day, so we’ve got a fresh list of apps on sale for you to take a look at today.

These are paid iPhone and iPad apps that have been made available for free for a limited time by their developers. There is no way to tell how long they will be free. These sales could end an hour from now or a week from now — obviously, the only thing we can guarantee is that they were free at the time this post was written. If you click on a link and see a price listed next to an app instead of the word “get,” it is no longer free. The sale has ended. If you download the app, you will be charged.

Windsock

Normally $6.99.

For less than the cost of a standard servo use the power of satellites, radar and local weather stations all over the world to deliver advanced wind and condition forecasts for your favourite remote control plane or drone flying sites.

As a pro perhaps you’ve already found that packing the flight gear and driving down to the park only to find it’s too windy to fly can be frustrating. Instead use this tool to drop markers down on a map and get the latest wind readings, rain and daylight info for a near-by location so you know if it’s great weather at sunset for your activity or even if it’s great right now – find those perfect flying weather windows!

With the app in your pocket you can get the wind speed and direction up to 7 days in advance with high-resolution wind readings every hour on demand for almost anywhere in the world. This paid-for service is completely absorbed into the price of the app. With the ability to share and print wind graphs and conditions you can let your friends know too.

If your device has a built-in compass and a cellular radio, use local sites and “Relative Wind Directions” to quickly work out the wind direction and get wind speeds in kts, ft/s, mph, m/s, kph and Beaufort Scale. Once you’re at your location just shake your device and it will read out how much daylight you have left. If a friend wants to know where you’re heading you can Airdrop a site to them too!
