There are plenty of apps that can do this. Just do it prior to the approach checklist and you'll be good.

The ODH has a wind chart showing degrees off runway heading and speed to find associated headwind/tailwind and crosswind.

The Category II briefing checklist from the ODH has the respective limits for headwind, tailwind, crosswind and is required to be used by the Captain for a Category II approach.

So in answer to your question, I'd say the Captain is checking. However, having been a First Officer, I always checked myself as well, there's a reason there's two pilots in the cockpit, none of us are infallible. As a Captain, I always suggest that my FO's check things themselves as well. So take that answer however you will.

As msprj2 noted, you CAN always input the wind in the ACARS (and in the case of a tailwind it's required), if you exceed a wind limit the ACARS landing data will generally come back blank but I'm not sure that would occur with the lower Category II wind limitations, I think it only happens for an aircraft limitation.

One such app would be the Content Locker, which contains the ODH

No, you do what DL mainline does and ask for a wind check on short final.

Only ask for wind check when the cross is certainly below 10kts, and your landing weight is =>500,000lbs. Those guys are the best pilots in the world...well except for the DL Navy pilot that briefs from the forward Cabin area and tells the PAX that they have 24 years of flying for the Navy AND so does the FO! So together that flight crew has 40 something YEARS OF FLYING FOR THE UNITED STATES NAVY. I am sooo impressed when I hear that one. Gotta know when you got a LANTA crew!

We got paid by the hour, plus a small bonus for each radio transmission. That’s a legacy from the days when radios were so complicated and dangerous that many pilots refused to touch them, and the company had to give us an incentive. Unfortunately, they neglected to include a payment for listening to the radio....

That’s what I told the kids in the car. Do not touch the radio.

Don't let this distract you from the fact that if you or a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma, you may be entitled to financial compensation.
