User reviews

No winds shown!

It does not appear to show any winds. All are zero!

Great app!

Does exactly what it advertises, clean and simple

Can’t Change Airports

What can I say? Looks super useful if it actually allowed you to change airfields. Unfortunate.

EDIT. I received a response from the Dev and there is reportedly a way to change the airport. I don’t know, I have since found another app for my flying needs.

But, if so, it did not appear to be obvious. Thus I will raise my rating in case I was incorrect, but I cannot recommend this app due to the opacity of its interface.

Response from developer

There are two fields in the opening screen at the top, one for departure airports, the other for arrival airports. These must be continental U.S. or Alaska airport ICAO codes. Once on the map page just click on the button in the upper left hand to change airports.
