### 5/5 — ℍ𝕚

*2026-08-18, version 3.13.0*

do they do a weekly test on this app?

### 4/5 — Fantastic Weather App with one major flaw

*2026-08-12, version 3.13.0*

This is a really well done Weather App with an extraordinary amount of information. I’m a professional pilot and use this for long range Weather overviews. The problem is, for inexplicable reasons, that developers have NOT added an option to hide or auto-collapse the bottom forecast panel on iPad so the radar/map can use the full screen. It’s so annoying I tend not to use the App despite all of its features. Could easily be five stars if not for that.

### 3/5 — Not really good cause of premuim

*2026-08-11, version 3.13.0*

Too many stuff are locked up behind premium

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-08-09, version 3.11.0*

Looks very sophisticated I will update review

### 1/5 — What the heck did you do to the app!!

*2026-08-02, version 3.11.0*

Updated this morning, I live in WI and have a GA window at the bottom of the screen with their weather.  I can't figure out how to set a different location.   And it takes up a good size portion of the screen,  You sure screwed up your app that was working perfectly great before.  I may delete it now.

### 4/5 — 雷电监测通知打开了，但不提示

*2026-07-25*

雷电监测打开了，地图上不显示，雷电天气也没有雷电提醒，我的开关都打开了啊

**Developer response:** 感谢您的反馈！请确保您使用的是最新版本，我们不断改进数据和功能。如问题仍未解决，欢迎通过contact@aviatorassistant.com与我们联系，我们将竭诚协助您。

### 1/5 — Instantly deleted this garbage app

*2026-07-04, version 3.10.0*

Right out of the gate, this weather app gave me the option of using or not using my location, but it wouldn't go past that point if I didn't allow it to share my location.  I deleted it after that because I hate to misrepresentation.

### 3/5 — App keeps refreshing

*2026-06-11, version 3.9.0*

I love the NOAS information and the GUI is pretty good. The problem is the app closes every minute or two. It reopens but I makes it difficult to add new locations or even change the settings!!

### 5/5 — Best app ever!

*2026-06-08, version 3.9.0*

This really helped me with storm chasing. Now I just have to go on the app and drive  near the location! I really recommend it!
