Metar request

Been rocking with this app for 3-4 years. For me it’s the best app you could use to see whats going on and who’s connected to vatsim. Recently the metar request has been down, hasn’t been working. If the developer could get the metar request working again then this would by far be one the best apps to track what’s going on vatsim.

Excellent

A truly excellent and superbly thought out app, the only app that not only tracks users on Vatsim, it also allows for the use of approach plates, SID’s and STAR’s. Airport taxiways are also included, what’s incredible is that it also free! An app of this quality and functionality could easily change for it. Thanks for putting this together.

Great App! Just Needs One Thing….

Very good app for checking what’s happening on the Vatsim servers!
The only thing this app needs for it to be perfect would be to have a way to better visualize what towers cover what.
I feel like it used to have this feature where the little circle with the controllers name/frequency was right on top of the airport that’s being controlled.
Currently it shows that same circle and frequencies on the border of the ARTCC sector which is confusing when I want to fly at a certain field and be sure that I have ATC
Yes, it says “KATL TWR” but I’d also like to see it over the actual airfield and not on the border of Tennessee/Georgia.

TL/DR: It’s a great app, just needs a better way to visualize where towers are.

The best of the bunch

Seems to be crashing a lot lately -still, indispensable

Good, but could be even better

It’s basically good as far as it goes, but it could be better. When there are multiple positions online (eg APP, TWR and GND), they all seem to have the same click spot, there’s no way to choose which one to see the details of. When the map’s busy, ATC positions don’t stand out well against a busy map with lots of planes.
