User reviews

Limited with cool idea

It could be way better if, you can edit the airport runway in favorite list, if the tailwind color is red, if you can create your own airport and if you can do quick calculation based on values rather than Internet weather (no internet while flying)... Oh, runways always two numbers, no need for the zero on the right, it can be made optional.

Useless

Total junk. Won’t allow you to enter the wind. Completely useless.

Simple and practical

I like the practical view of this app.. it works smoothly!
