Note for you cheapo's out there (like me), don't bother with the download unless you are a iKite paying customer - it requires loggin in. Looks like a nice app tho.

um, unless someone can clear this up for me, but it looks like you're limited to 15 sensors in your "favorites" list...
either that or it's just being buggy.
pretty much a game killer if you ask me...i've got more than 20 that I look at

That would be awesome. If the wind is down we just make an API call to bump it up.

I was looking through the source of the app and it looks like they are on the right path. Why does it take up so many CPU cycles on a mac is beyond me though. The AIR runtime must be doing something funky.

But don't you kite at one place 90% of the time?

yeah, but it takes a solid 15 of those sensors to tell me if it's gonna be windy...and i'm so used to looking at all the diff buoy readings, i'm not sure I can go without :-)
