What's New in Fly Virga

2.0.0

October 23, 2026

Virga 2.0 — the relaunch. • A fresh, modern design, optimized for iPhone and iPad. • A smarter map: nearby PIREPs gather into stacks you can step through, older reports fade, and a color-blind marker style is in Settings. • Faster filing: edit any line on the preview, add a photo, and file with no signal — it sends when you're back online. • Your profile and aircraft list, and search every PIREP you've filed. • Draw alert areas, and tap a notification to land on the exact report or comment. • Optional subscription to remove ads. • Delete your account any time from Settings.

Thank you!

Love this app! Love it! Such a great addition to general aviation safety!

Disappointing

PIREPS don’t actually get submitted to the FAA. Cannot enter cloud bases and tops below 1000 feet. Wish it worked. It doesn’t.

Could be a lot better

With Virga Every day is Groundhog Day! let me explain
Let’s say I flew a week ago and used Virga, but today I’m going to go fly and so I open up the app and it still has the date being from last week.

So I hit the little propeller icon that is supposed to update to today’s date. But it never works

So I end up deleting the app, going to the App Store and reloading it. This is the only way I can get it to work on today’s date.

I told them about this four months ago, but nothing has been done.

Why is this so hard? If you would fix this glitch then I would give it a four star rating.

There is really no good instructional video on how to operate the application. I guess the developer just thought we would figure it out. If you fix this, then I would give me a five star rating.

Not Forwarding to FAA

As far as I can tell Virga posts PIREPS to its own server, but not to the wider FAA server that shows PIREPS. I have reported multiple PIREPS in the last two weeks that never appeared as PIREPS on other systems.

Signup process insufficient

Why is my first and last name important? Use Apple signin process so user does not need to reveal unnecessary personal identifiable information. Please remove all the unnecessary social stuff like Like buttons. The idea is good. Keep it simple.
