App deleted. ### 1/5 — Ohne Abo nicht nutzbar *2021-05-21* Habe diese App gekauft und nun soll ich noch ein Abo bezahlen. Schade was aus dieser tollen App geworden ist. Irgendwann wird wohl jeder gierig. ### 1/5 — Rip off. Don’t bother, money obsessed. *2020-10-11* Well. As a professional mariner I’ve been using this app since early 2000, I did the upgrade and hey presto they’ve done what all the corporate pigs are now doing and I can’t access anything without subscribing. Don’t bother with this app, it’s another case of money hungry developers just grabbing your money. What a shame. Don’t bother ### 1/5 — Betrüger *2020-10-04* Ich hatte die App vor einiger Zeit für 5€ gekauft. Nun habe ich nichtsahnend ein Update gemacht und die App will wieder Geld von mir. Das hätte man fairer lösen müssen. Zumindest die alte Version ohne Updates weiter laufen lassen aber nicht die bereits bezahlten Funktionen einfach sperren. Die App ist sicher nicht den Abo Preis wert. Schade. ### 1/5 — Nothing for nothing! *2020-10-02* Basically, you get nothing without subscribing. It would be better to make an upfront charge. ### 1/5 — Nach Update erneut kostenpflichtig *2020-09-17* Als Airline Pilot habe ich die App sehr oft verwendet. Daher war es für mich kein Problem einmalig für diesen Service zu zahlen. Nun kam jedoch unerwartet ein Update und plötzlich muss ich erneut zahlen. Das ist ein Unding! Denn zumindest eine Lösung die „alten“ Kunden an Board zu behalten, wäre angebracht gewesen. Wenn ich nun extra zahlen muss, nutze ich lieber einen anderen Service, da ich so eine schlechte Kommunikation und Service nicht unterstützen möchte. ### 1/5 — Allatsea *2020-08-08* Used for years and it worked well - now signed up for subscription and cannot see latest synopsis. Very poor disappointed **Developer response:** Hi Allatsea, if you send over an email, will be happy to help you on this! ### 1/5 — Charged to download and now charged monthly! *2020-08-01, version 20.0.4* Pretty poor show. Been using this for years and seem to remember paying an above average fee to download it originally and then extra to have a “trip kit” where I could store charts offline for use when out walking. Now all of a sudden it’s trying to charge me £2.99 per month or £24.99 per year! Apparently existing customers get 2 months free... surely you would want to just upgrade existing customers automatically and then get them to be the advertisement for your new clients? I run a number of outdoor courses up and down the UK and I’m always pushing this (along with other) weather apps... it’s appears I won’t be doing that anymore! Poor show by the app makers. ### 1/5 — Rip-off app *2020-07-13* I made the same experience... Habe been a loyal customer in the past and loved the app. Now 28$ for a yearly subscribtion? Ridicolous. ### 1/5 — Subscription based now! *2020-05-29* Having been using the app for years now and there have been almost no updates as it worked reasonably well, now the latest update requires a subscription even after buying the original app. Avoid!! **Developer response:** Thank you for downloading, all existing users receive an extended two month trial. Supporting an app via subscription ensures and secures future development and upkeep that will continue to keep the app reliable and up-to-date with the latest iOS. This includes all future major and minor updates including any new features and unlimited access to the app. ### 1/5 — Und plötzlich ein Abo-Modell *2020-05-27* Da kauft man artig die Version 1 für iPhone und iPad separat, spielt OHNE HINWEIS dieses Update auf und plötzlich soll man 28 Euro im Jahr für eine Abo bezahlen? Was für Verbrechermethoden!!! Ich möchte meine bezahlte Version 1 zurück, wenn zu solch einem überteuerten Abo wechselt, muss man den Leuten schon die Wahl lassen, ob sie das Update aufspielen wollen. **Developer response:** Thank you for downloading, all existing users receive an extended two month trial - please ensure you either sign in on launch or tap “restore” to access this. The price quoted is a full year subscription and includes all future major and minor updates including any new features and unlimited access to the app. ### 2/5 — If bugs sorted would be good *2017-12-06* Fair few bugs - I can’t see any of the forecast synoptic charts and lots of data missing. Sort these and the app would be super - and I’d pay for it. Forecast Synoptics especially do not work ### 2/5 — Where are the synoptic charts? *2013-12-25* I only use this app for the synoptic charts and they have gone. Please bring them back! ### 2/5 — not very useful *2013-03-08* loads very slow, no loop function and much too small for IPhone. You may look at the charts at the UK Met Office. ### 2/5 — problem viewing chart details *2012-09-16, version 1.5.5* ...too bad that the area of eastern mediterranean (wind/temp chart) is covered by the chart legend ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Keeps loading *2025-05-03* Doesn’t stop loading. I would pay for the app if it worked but sadly enough it doesn’t. It would be nice to have the charts called up in minimal time. ### 1/5 — This app is broken *2024-11-10* I downloaded this app but it is stuck on the opening screen - there is a message saying ‘Loading Charts…’ but nothing is loading and the app never progresses. The Internet is working, the app isn’t. ### 1/5 — App startet nicht *2024-08-11* Beim Start wird versucht eine Internetvervindung aufzubauen. Dies gelingt nicht. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Word *2024-07-26* Loading charts in not possible App is not Ysabel ### 1/5 — Chargement des cartes impossible sur ipad air 5 *2024-05-13* Malgre plusieurs tentatives (désinstaller réinstaller) impossible de charger les cartes, je reste sur écran d’accueil… **Developer response:** Hello, please send an email through the app and will be happy to assist. ### 1/5 — Should not be on App Store *2024-01-14* This app should not be on the App Store. A free app which requires you to pay in order to use ANY feature. Will be reported to Apple. ### 1/5 — Kein Testen, gleich bezahlen? *2023-11-19* Wie soll nan wissen, ob sich der Kauf dieser App lohnt, wenn man sie nicht einmal testen kann? **Developer response:** Hi - a one week free trial is offered before you buy. ### 1/5 — Charts stuck from the 30th of May *2023-08-19* I’ve used this app for years. Recently the significant weather charts were stuck on the 30th of May’s chart. I emailed and got no response. I’ve paid for this app for a long time now but there’s no point in paying if it doesn’t deliver what it is supposed to offer. Very disappointing. ### 1/5 — Sig wx forecast stuck on 30 May *2023-07-25* Great when it worked but now with subscription, the sig wx forecast has been stuck on 30th of May. Useless ### 1/5 — Pilot weather. *2023-07-10* Have always used these charts in the past. Disappointed at the pricing structure in place now. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Nice job *2014-11-10* A very useful app. Easy to navigate. Easy to use. Can store charts off line which is helpful. Much easier to read than the lido. If you could add another section for TAF's, METAR's, NOTAM's without spoiling the flow of the app that would be cool. ### 5/5 — Great source of charts. *2014-04-19* Great app for clear synoptic forecast charts. ### 5/5 — The synoptic charts are back! *2013-12-31* Yay! The synoptic charts have returned from their Christmas holidays. Good news, thanks for listening. ### 5/5 — Superbe applications *2012-10-15* J'utilise régulièrement pour mes préparations de vol transport public. Je recommande ### 5/5 — Nice *2012-04-11* As a professional pilot this comes very handy. It works well. I would like to see some more chart types, but the essential is here. ### 5/5 — Perfekt! *2012-02-17* Als Linienpilot brauche ich es sehr oft zur Flugvorbereitung, schon morgens beim Aufstehen sehe ich was der Tag uns bringt. Habe ausserdem alle Karten praktisch in der Tasche sofort abrufbar. Ganz herzlichen Dank! Schön wären auch Karten ausserhalb Europas... aber das kommt ja vielleicht noch... ### 5/5 — Best app for Synoptics *2011-12-05* This is the best app for those looking for synoptic charts etc, whether for sailing or flying (I'm a sailor) this app is the best 5 day weather fax app, by some considerable margin. in fact it seems unique in what it offers. Best £1.50 I've ever sent. ### 5/5 — Superb app! *2011-05-31* The only app I've found with decent synoptic charts. Superb! ### 5/5 — Excellent *2011-04-03, version 1.3* This is the only app I am aware of where you can view sig wx and synoptic charts for Western Europe. This is an extremely useful self-briefing tool for improving situational awareness before going flying. Well done! ### 4/5 — Almost, but not quite *2012-11-08* Would give it 5/5 but would be perfect with North Atlantic charts too...! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
