DEVELOPED BY PILOTS. Takeoff was developed by pilots like you, who understand what information you need to fly safely. Other pilots agree: "I love the presentation of information on the screen.

Airports must report METAR/TAF information in order for Takeoff to provide reports. Takeoff is not a substitute for official flight planning and weather information, and by using Takeoff, you agree not to hold the developers liable for any inaccuracies or misrepresentations.
Horrible - not worth the money
If you need an app to tell you what your personal minimums are you shouldn’t be flying an airplane. Any reputable flight app already tells you what you need to know just by looking at the weather forecast. On top of that, I can’t pull up several larger airports in this app. Airport identifiers are correct (checked in ForeFlight) but aren’t found in this app, even after changing the distance from my location to the maximum. I would have given this zero stars if it was an option. Don’t waste your time or money.
Like it now, issues addressed
I'm a flight instructor, and was quite excited to find this program with it's very appealing graphical interface. "Unfortunately it at times provides grossly inaccurate crosswind wind calculations." These issues appear to have been addressed. I will double-check results and hope all is fixed.
Slick
Better than a lot of risk assessment tools I've seen. Developers are responding to feedbacks proactively. Impressive!
Great GA Pilot App!
I started using this app when I was getting my private. I'm no weather expert and never will be. You set the parameters that you are comfortable with and can quickly tell whether it's a good day to fly or not. Highly recommended for the general aviation pilot.
You need this
Everything the aviator needs to plan and stay informed about weather. Very useful app. I highly recommend!
Claims international....Not
I am in Costa Rica and it doesn't even have the international airports. Lame
Great app
Very well polished and has everything I could need for my flying needs. Highly recommended.
