### 2/5 — Ads won’t remove

*2024-11-30, version 5.84*

Three times now ads have comeback even though I pay to remove them. Developer is a sociopath.

### 3/5 — Don’t Size

*2024-10-16, version 5.84*

I like the app but cannot zoom or change the font size. I find it hard to read.

### 2/5 — Too small

*2024-01-14, version 5.84*

Like the format however, the type is too small and I can’t figure out how to enlarge it.

### 5/5 — Aviation weather

*2023-12-13, version 5.84*

Nice app

### 3/5 — Text Too Small

*2023-11-18*

After using AirWX for over 10 years, I had to find a new app when it stopped working.

This app looks good, but I simply cannot see it without reading glasses or a magnifying glass. No way to zoom in, either.

I guess I will keep looking.

**Developer response:** Dear Valuable User,

Thanks for your feedback.
With the premium subscription, you have the opportunity to enlarge the font as much as you want. Try subscribing, and then let me know if you are satisfied.

Thanks and have a great day!
