Wind data not updating
Unable to fix using link to website
Fast, easy and free!
Quickest way to check the days weather for flying or or any outdoor activity. Very straightforward user interface and a complete user guide provided. Slider for the days weather can’t be beat to see an hour-by-hour depiction of what’s coming.
Not updating
I tried to fix this with the repair tool which didn’t work so I deleted it and reinstalled it but that didn’t work either. The app is useless unless you can get it to update!

I just noticed the negative reviews are still around for my app. It was down for a couple of weeks when NOAA rearranged their website. Since my app became free I’m only able to provide a limited amount of time to it. And as my app doesn’t nag for a review as many do it only has a small number of reviews and rating. Please consider updating your review/rating.
Complete Garbage
Got an error as soon as I opened the app. Useless.

App not updating
This was a great tool but it now fails to update weather in spite of what their website indicates. Effectively useless until they fix the link to NWS.

I hope you gave the app another chance since. It was down for a couple of weeks before I could fix it. NOAA has a bad habit of rearranging their website.
Such a killer app!!!
It’s about the bigger picture when flying XC and this app is the only one that can help you make quick decisions when it comes to aviation weather!
Great App! Very powerful single & multi day planning tool
Hi Tom,
Finally had time to look at the program and it is very powerful! Wow, this will be useful as I am planning many cross country trips for this summer and in the future!
Thanks so much. I will talk it up and show to all!
Best Regards,
Tom M.

Issue should be fixed with 1.5.4. If you are still having issues with the new version please contact me via email at wefly (at) tcourt.net
Extremely useful and still getting better
Each update brings solid improvements to what was already a very useful app. The visual depiction of weather forecasts is super handy and a quick way to pay attention to route planning and takeoff times. The app provides a functionality that is almost like "future radar" found on some local TV weather forecasts. Using the time slider, you can easily see how weather is forecast to trend and what the implications are for your planned trip/route. Scanning METARs is something we're supposed to do, and should do, but this is an outstanding way to really SEE what those METARs are trying to tell us. The one time fee vs. subscription is welcome. I already have lots of subscription based apps, happy to pay for this once and be done.

Clean and easy to use
Compared to complex aviation apps like Foreflight, this app is a breath of fresh air. And it's been getting better, really happy they added winds aloft.
Kinda expensive, but ...
.... that "time slider" ranks this app in the "cool" category.
Just keep in mind several much cheaper GRIB apps are out there that will do the same, except the results won't be in METAR format.
... so, "caveat emptor!"

Awesome graphical map...gives great insight!
I plan lots of cross-country flights all over the U.S. and one of the hardest things is being able to get a good picture as departure day arrives as to when will be the most opportune time to make the trip. If you're doing a weekend or a weeks vacation you want to ensure that you can get out of town (or get back home), in a reasonable timeframe. You can delay or move up your trip to beat or avoid the impending weather. While there are plenty of apps that give prognostic charts that will show fronts and areas of precipitation, it's much harder to get an extended range forecast of textual weather. METARs only tell you how it is now. TAFs give you a good textual (and in some apps, graphical) picture of how it will be soon, but it's look-ahead is not very far. That's why when they started using the MOS forecast it was such a good benefit. You get an approximately 3-day window of what the weather will be. The only problem is, if you are planning an x/c flight (maybe Wisconsin to Nevada for instance). You're going to have to view many many MOS forecasts to ensure that the whole route will have the weather you want. That can get very time consuming. But with this app, you can easily grab all of the MOS forecasts, and scroll a slider and literally watch the weather change for what is expected for the next 3 days. As an added benefit you can shade the screen for daytime and nighttime so you can easily see if you need to fly day or night to miss the weather.
All in all its a fantastic app. It will not replace your other weather planning apps, but will give you one more really powerful tool in your arsenal that will help a lot in planning your weekend or trip.
For weekenders, now you can leave in comfort on Friday knowing you will get home before you have to be back at work Monday morning.
Great job on the app!

Fantastic Aviator's Weather Planner
I absolutely love this app! In just a few moments of time, I can get the "Big Picture" of how the weather looks for my planned route. Nothing like going to one place to see the most important part of your journey, the actual and forecast weather. Should I go for that $100.00 pancake breakfast or not? The decision is now easier.
I also reference this app as a professional pilot for a quick look at my day ahead. Besides the overall view, the details of each point along the way are provided by just a touch on the map.
This is well worth the price!
