About this app
WindTrac - wind, wave, and weather forecast map WindTrac is a wind, wave, and weather forecast app for iPhone and iPad that turns raw forecast data into a live, animated map you can read at a glance. Instead of burying conditions under menus, ads, and dense overlays, WindTrac shows tens of thousands of particles flowing along the wind field, with wind speed encoded in color and wind direction encoded in motion. The result is a clear, beautiful picture of where the air is moving anywhere on Earth, from your local coastline to the open ocean. WindTrac is built for sailors, kitesurfers, windsurfers, surfers, paragliders, pilots, fishers, boaters, hikers, photographers, and anyone who plans their day around the weather. It is designed to be the simplest, fastest way to understand the forecast, while still drawing on the same professional forecast models used by serious weather services. …
App details
What you can learn from WindTrac
Every shipping app on the App Store has gone through the same decisions you're working through right now: which screenshot goes first, what caption sits over it, which device frame to show, what color the background should be. The 3 screenshots above are WindTrac's answers to those questions — they're public, they're real, and they made it through Apple's review.
Notice the first screenshot in particular. It's the one users see in search results and on the product page, and it's where most apps spend their best caption and tightest design. Look at the proportion of background to phone, where the text sits, what one thing the image is trying to communicate.
