If you can get a screenshot next time that would be very helpful. There is a mode of that instrument which breaks the wind down into head/tailwind and crosswind components, but the arrows would not be forwards and backwards.

SkyDemon 3.6.2.19250 - Android 5.1 - Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4
Saturday flying from Rochester to Goodwood the wind readout at the top of the screen next to the altitude and eta's was showing the following:
number 2; up arrow; number 6; down arrow (similar to 2^6v but with better arrows).  Tapping the box didn't make any difference.  The TAFs and METARs were fine.  I couldn't get a screenshot as I was in flight.

The return flight was fine with the wind direction showing correctly.

It wasn't a major issue, just annoying, so I thought I'd report it in case anyone else has a similar experience.
