### 1/5 — DC

*2025-12-13*

Malheureusement, l’application fonctionne très mal avec l’iPhone 17…
Amitiés 
DC

### 5/5 — Super App, wann gibts das Update mit den SkyView Ersatzprodukten

*2021-01-11*

Wie Bodenkarte (mit stündlicher Vorschau)
Konvektion und W/T Vorhersage?
Danke

### 3/5 — Eigentlich toll, aber...

*2020-06-26*

...die Bilder brauchen zum Teil sehr sehr sehr lange zum Laden. Und, worst of all, auf dem iPhone 11 lässt sich die App nicht nutzen, weil man die Bedienhinweise bei erster Benutzung nicht loswird - sie überlagern somit alle Seiten.

### 5/5 — Vereinfacht den Zugang zu den DWD Daten

*2020-05-02*

Wenn man mehr Infos braucht als die DWD eigene App bietet, dann hat man über diese App gut geordneten einfachen Zugriff auf die meisten DWD Angebote

### 4/5 — Super App

*2020-01-16*

Funktioniert super. Was noch fehlt ist die Anpassung an den Bildschirm des aktuellen iPad Pro 11

### 5/5 — Sehr gute App

*2019-12-31*

Die aktuelle Version funktioniert tadellos und zeigt alle wesentlichen Daten von PCmet / DWD zuverlässig an. Die Zugangsdaten muss man nur einmal eingeben, was deutlich komfortabler als im Safari ist. 

Vorhersagen, also zum Beispiel auch Cross Sections, sind etwas versteckt, finden sich aber unter dem Menüpunkt "..." mehr. Und einmal heruntergeladene Daten kann man auch offline ansehen. Einzig das Skyview ICON-EU gibt es nicht, das funktioniert aber auch in Safari nicht.

### 5/5 — Bestens! Übersichtlich und individuell konfigurierbar

*2019-06-02*

Endlich ein praxisorientierter, brauchbarer Client für die DWD-Daten. 

Läut Bestens auf iPad und iPhone. Häufig beflogene Strecken einfach als Gruppe hinterlegen für schnelle Übersicht.

Ich bin begeistert!

### 4/5 — Tut was es soll

*2019-03-02*

Übersicht auf der Webseite ist jedoch besser. Jedesmal suche ich die Wind pro FL.

### 5/5 — Tolle App, aber:

*2018-12-29*

Seit dem letzten Update keine formatfüllende Anzeige mehr auf IPad Pro , sonst super!

### 4/5 — Super App

*2018-10-25*

... leider muss ich nach dem letzten Update die Datenschutzrichtlinien des DWD bestätigen (für pc-met). Der Button sendet nur leider nix ab, so dass ich aktuell die App nur noch eingeschränkt verwenden kann. Schade. 🤔
