What's New in Aufwind

1.9

April 23, 2026

Updated airspaces for 2026 and added new built-in airspaces for Norway, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. Keep your charts current and improve route planning accuracy, especially when crossing borders or flying near updated airspace boundaries. Ridge Lift display is improved for a clearer, more useful view of lift conditions. Enhanced smart airfield symbols now automatically show both the name and the code. See where you are going at a glance and spend less time hunting for the right gliderport. Significantly improved NOTAM parsing so runway, airspace, and operational notices are easier to read. Get the latest changes faster and reduce the chance of missing critical details. Support added for iOS 26 and Liquid Glass.

User reviews

Really nice concept, but buggy. Misses NOTAMs.

This works very well for task planning and viewing Skysight weather, but I find it can be quite buggy. For example, sometimes it misses NOTAMs. If you can’t rely on NOTAM data, it’s worthless for that and if all that’s left is weather and task visualisation, I don’t think it’s worth the sub price.

Response from developer

Sorry about the missing NOTAMs. Can you please give me some examples of missing NOTAMs so that I can make sure what went wrong? You can use the support/contact button in the app to send me the missing NOTAMs. Thank you very much.

Wasted my time on this

Sad experience…found that not all UK airspace is covered in this application as the region for Northern Ireland (NI) is missing. This should not be a problem if Ireland had been included, but this isn’t available either.

Please address this. The application should include all of the UK, but, more importantly, it should include Ireland airspace and turnpoints also.

It is not acceptable to be charged the same and then have to load your own airspace and turnpoints. Hardly a ‘welcome to the application’ experience.

Thanks for your feedback. All airfields and airspaces for the whole of UK and Ireland are included since the latest update v1.9. Happy landings!

Streckenplanung

Wenig Karteninformation dadurch keine Orientierungshilfe auf der Karte. Dörfer namentlich angegeben, aber keine Städte, Flughäfen, Flugplätze, Staatsgrenzen.

Response from developer

Vielen Dank für das tolle Feedback. Der Name und Code von den Flugplätzen wird seit der Update 1.9 angezeigt. Aktuelle Lufträume für die 2026 Saison sind jetzt auch automatisch mitdabei. Viele Grüße aus Berlin.

KEIN ZUGRIFF AUF WETTER

Trotz Abo funktioniert der zuriff auf die Wetterprognosen nicht. Support ist keiner vorhanden

Response from developer

Hi JLSFN, könntest du mir bitte eine Feedback Email von der App schicken? Dann kann ich anhand der Diagnoseinfo sehen was schief gelaufen ist.

Loads all skysight data ; hrs & days

This is the only iOS app I have found that caches all hrs & days of skysight data, so you don’t need a cellular connection in the air.
However, it needs a few features adding. Presently your location on the map is not shown. And also I don’t see a button to enable automatically select time and day to display, and to update displayed data as the time changes.

Thanks for the feedback. The features you requested are in the pipeline and will come soon.
