Almost Perfect

I love this! Very visual way to display your minimums. The only thing it lacks is an option for a personal/custom minimum in the checklist section. Something I can write for my personal visibility minimum on night for approaches. Great job!

Great design, missing a lot of airports

Probably a backend API issue, but frustrating that so many airports with automated weather reporting return a ‘Invalid Airport Code’ (‘Please enter a valid IACO [sic] airport code’) error, eg KJYO, KMTV, KCJR… maybe it’s only with non-towered or part-time towered airports?

Great Visiual Aid

As a CFI I am constantly looking for new ways to keep myself safe and informed and this does it conveniently.

When trying to add KBDU it crashes the app every time. Additionally, is there any plan to add the ability to display multiple stations as widgets? I would love the ability to display a few local airports I fly to daily with my job.

Response from developer

Hi, thank you for the feedback and suggestions. The app has recently been updated to fix the issue you were experiencing with KBDU and similar cases - it was not properly handling the runway's true heading. That's a great suggestion, I can look into making that happen! Thank you for your support.

So Helpful

This app has been so helpful. I no longer need to guess if I should or shouldn’t fly based on what I am comfortable with after setting my minimums. The personal checklist has been great, and has helped me stop forgetting the little things.

Crashes

I added stations and then added minimums for VFR and IFR and every time I scroll, applications crashes/shuts down. Need refund.

Response from developer

Hello, thank you for your feedback. I have pushed an update to resolve crashes that related to runway visibility at larger airports such as KMSP.
