Used to love
I’m not sure what happened but, it stopped working a few months ago. Will there be an update to correct? It used to be my go to app before flying now, might as well delete if it’s not going to be fixed.
Lifeline!
I love this app! Been using it for about 3 years. Provides great information and I always check it for local flying conditions. Definitely recommend this for any aviation enthusiast! Update: App hasn’t worked this entire year. I’m still waiting on response from support. I can’t receive any airport weather or forecast and I haven’t been able to use other tabs in almost over a year. Not sure if anyone is else experiencing the same issues.
Excellent App.
I use this before every flight. It’s my one stop weather check. Nice work. Only improvement I can think of is vertical profile view for clouds along route. Thanks for a great App !
Necessity
This should be a must for all private VFR and IFR pilots. When it comes to go and no go decisions all forms of information is needed. This is a great source of information.
Lifeline!
I love this app! Been using it for about 3 years. Provides great information and I always check it for quick check on what conditions are for flying on work days. Definitely recommend this for any aviation enthusiast!
Great app
This is a great app that provides pretty much all the info I need for local flights. My only complaint is wondering why they don’t charge more.
Better than ForeFlight for Notams!
The notams tab is quickly accessed at the top of the menu screen, making this App the fastest way to check same day destinations or even alternates. In fact the TAF function is better than any other flight planning software we can access. Super easy to use and great info from any ASOS/Metars equipped airport.
