Ratings and reviews

Excellent app! I use it a lot and really like it. The UI looks great and the visuals (such as runway with wind superimposed or the clouds visualised) are a great extra tool. It would be 6/5 stars if there was more airport info such as runway length, surface type, runway condition etc. Frequencies including radio nav would bump it up to 11 out of 5 stars😜 jokes aside, excellent app and well worth the purchase!

Excellent app, I am using it to learn the METAR & TAF readouts to aid my studies. You can select multiple airports to monitor and the decoder is great for visualising the weather at each as well as showing wind against each runway. It's a very easy app to use, I've yet to find any bugs or issues and just reading the raw data METAR/TAF a few times a day has really helped. It has been an excellent training tool and we'll worth the money

slow on metar updates . I have another app that updates much more often. For example the airport I'm checking now with this app the weather is 69 min old but with my other app it's 9 minutes old. Not sure why it's has such a significant delay.
