Unreliable data!
App hasn’t been updating for days now. Last app upgrade was 4 years ago? So much more could be done with this app...but apparently no one is interested. You’re better off relying on SPC sounding data...and it’s free!
Needs more locations
Needs more info on chart and not enough locations will revise review if improves with update. Therefore does me no good because does not include LA area...wish can get money back on bad app purchases. Also, would be nice if made it simple to understand for the average person.
Sounding review
This is the only good sounding app available.
Works well
Best soundings App on App Store.
Crashing!!!!!!
Awesome app until recent update. Now crashes whenever you try to change to any site other than OUN. Obviously not worth it until fixed.
Was good until latest update
Just installed the new update. Highly unstable. Crashes when I try to start up app.
Great Soundings App
This app does what it needs to do. It doesn't try to be more and become a clunky app. As far as I can tell, the data seems accurate. I'm glad I don't have to find a random, reliable website.
Best sounding app out there
Have you stood outside and looked up at the wispy clouds and wondered how high they are? Or watched atmospheric explosions as thunderstorms rapidly develop and wonder why? We live in a sea of air, a sea that constantly changes and one that affects us all. In this sea you'll see rivers of moisture over 3000 miles long, rapids of air moving at speeds of over 150 mph, explosions capable of keeping hail the size of softballs three miles above the ground, and stretches of calm where skies are clear and the weather is nice.
Weather balloons, launched twice daily from over 800 locations around the globe, carry with them small instruments called radiosondes. These radiosondes basically take snapshots of the atmopheric sea as they rise to heights of over 10 miles. These snapshots show the temperature, moisture, and wind almost continuously all the way up into the stratosphere. Soundings Mobile takes these snapshots and creates charts of the temperature, moisture, and wind. In addition, Soundings Mobile also measures how much energy is in the atmosphere, giving forecasters an idea of how strong storms might be should they develop.
Meteorologists, those with air pollution or fire weather concerns, chasers, pilots, astronomers, landscape photographers, weather enthusiasts, and anyone with an interest in the weather around them can use Soundings Mobile to help them make smart decisions. Whether you're wanting to know more about the jet stream, storms, or have an interest in the sea of air which surrounds us, Soundings Mobile can help. Highly recommended!

Great update!
Looking forward to more!
Not fully working
The app"s share feature does not work (printing & email). Other than that its ok I guess.
Incorrect Data!!!
I read reviews before I purchase things and saw that these reviews were pretty good, so I purchased. After a week of having this ALL DATA is WRONG!!! It's all difficult to use, so I emailed the help center and still no response. Should've bought a king size Snickers with the $2 I spent on this app...

Good start
Thanks for putting soundings into an app! Works great but hope you will allow users to enter any airport identifier in a future version to make this useful for aviation weather.
Does what is says!
For $2 it certainly makes it easier than finding a compatible website with sounding displays. Author has a good track record of improving apps, so I trust this one will be seeing more features too.
Positives:
1) Easy access to soundings
2) Hodograph option & convective stats nice to see
3) No lag in operations/pan/zoom/etc.
Here are my only negatives, and at this pricepoint they are small:
1) No horizontal mode
2) No forecast soundings
3) Stats page limited to summertime numbers for now
