Geo-wind is device-independent.
This means, you can display your ordered actual Geo-wind forecasts from every App or with the browser. You can see your Geo-wind for example in your Iphone-app and if you have a tablet or notebook with only wifi internet access, but with a larger screen, you can see it also with other operating system apps or with the browser. You can go to an internet cafe in the harbour and have access to your Geo-wind with your login. This device-independency is also valuable to spare roaming costs.
Because of that, you have to buy Geo-wind from the browser in the Geo-wind shop. Apple does not allow a Geo-wind shop inside the app, what is possible with other devices. You cannot register and buy Geo-wind inside the Geo-wind app on iOS devices.
