Ratings and reviews

They have every single runway in Canada showing incorrectly. In Canada all runways are Magnetic headings, not True headings. They refuse to fix it. I gave up correcting them, and sending the NAV Canada's publications of every airport in Canada. Runway 10/28 for example at my airport (102°/282°) is being shown as 086°/266° I use to use this app to help me see what way the winds were blowing across the runway at the start of my shift so I could get a heads up to plan how I was plowing the runway.

Can my home airport be displayed when the app is launched? Now, all I see is a list of airports and I have to select my home airport to see the data.

Great app for a quick look at weather
