It has Winds aloft but they don't work, always reads "loading..." or telling me I need a better connection even though all the other options work just fine. Don't like this glitch and will probably drop the app because of this. I have to have access to winds aloft.
Im an aviation student and somewhat new to the world of aviation. Ive found that the app is accurate and very usable. My only problem with the app is my radar tab doesn't work and keeps generating errors. I hope this gets fixed.
This is a good app, not the best weather app for sure but still very good. the one thing I would change would be to be able to you your weather offline that you have downloaded while you were online. several other weather apps that is exactly what you can do and it is very handy to be able to reference the weather you received enroute if that were to happen I would give this app five stars
App has not been updated for sometime. Many of the graphic pages are INOP. I emailed the publisher and never received a response. DO NOT BUY THIS APP! This app should be removed by Google Playstore.
Not supported anymore? Hasn't been updated in years, many features are inop, no response from support email. Save your money.
its a good app just to check out the METARS and NOTAMS at your local airport but anything else id use something a little more reliable. Radar doesn't work, atleast not for me.
I love the easy graphical interface with red, yellow and green warnings. Makes it easy to survey all of your favorite airports or local airports easily
Many item are not working anymore such as radar, graphic charts etc.. the last update made in 2014. it definitely needs new update developer.
This app was recommended by my flight instructor for a quick way to check my airports before flights. Love it. I use it before every flight.
very useful tool, sometimes lags behind, last update far in the past, but generally updated less an hour ago, very recommended
Excellent app, would get 5 stars if they removed the obsolete DUATS tab and replaced it with a link to Flight Service.
pretty cool app, a quick reference on weather and airport info on the go.
Never loaded wind charts. Does not work as advertised
easy to use and allows personal minimums.
Always useful easy to assess information. I check this app before every flight
great for initial check on aviation weather a very handy tool
As a student pilot, this app is phenomenal! I love it!
great, easy to see weather info
Very fast and informative!
Great aviation app when it is not glitching
Great, but a new update is needed
Must have for every general aviation pilot!
Status at a glance!
I use it as a go to app. Recommend everyone use it.
I'm a 13 year military pilot, and I use this every day, even when not flying. As Chief Pilot, it served as a great ORM tool for dynamic and over the water missions. Simply the best for quick fight planning, but has so much more available for complete route research.
Take-off is the first tool I look at to make the go/no-go decision. With my personal minimums configured, I can see at a glance whether conditions are within the go envelope or not. The NOTAM feature is a great quick reference to get updated on any runway or taxiway closings and inoperative components like PAPIs, glide slope on ILS, or enroute VORs. The decoded and color-coded TAFs give an at-a-glance understanding of what to expect in the weather. Great tool!
Weather app that provides nearly all pre takeoff needs. I used it this morning to decide if fog could be an issue. Go no go parameters are user adjustable incuding crosswind limits. I like the 'near' selection for local fun flights. Great wx app!
Used to be a great tool for a quick and comprehensive look at local and destination current and forecast. Notams right there too (decoded, plain English) along with winds aloft. BUT -- unreliable in operation. Frequent and unpredictably stops working on my Moto X running Lollipop Android v. 5.1. If they could make it work reliably it's good enough to actually pay for. Otherwise just an annoyance.
This was my main go to app to check on metars. I really liked it because it was easy to use and had crosswind factors for the runways. I also used the winds aloft a lot. Unfortunately the winds aloft portion of the app has quit loading for me. I have contacted them and am still waiting to hear back from them about that. As of 10-18-18 they still have not responded to my situation.
