### 5/5 — This App is a Situational Awareness Force Multiplier

*2022-05-11, version 7.9.4*

This App is absolutely fantastic, I am an airline pilot and this is my go to weather app for pre-flight planning. I was initially looking for a weather app where I could efficiently and expeditiously examine TAF forecasts to see if I needed an Alternate and if the pesky Derived Minimums would be an issue at my destination. I am a new Captain upgrade so I have to utilize additional minimums per the company SOPs. The way you have turned a TAF forecast into a visual presentation is just fantastic, also I have never come across an app where you can look forward in time to be able to see where you will arrive in the TAF block. Doing this manually really uses a lot of brain bandwidth with all the time conversions and Zulu time conversions.

The way I use this app is I plan all my trip legs out which can sometimes be as many as 5 legs per day. I then take screenshots of all the data and put them in my photo albums named LEG1, LEG2, etc. So now after my first trip I can just look at Leg 2 and have a good idea of all the WX associated with that Leg. This app also is great in determining which runway they will be landing prior to arrival. Thanks again for this fantastic app, great work and God Bless.

### 2/5 — Barely good.

*2021-08-26, version 7.9.2*

I get better information from Foreflight, or other apps that are free.

### 5/5 — Outstanding Support, Outstanding Pilot Wx App

*2020-05-05, version 7.2.3*

I join with others in praising this powerfully simple visual weather app for pilots.  It is so fast and easy to complete a good preflight weather briefing.  Well worth the annual subscription fee.

But the best part of the app is the developers incredible responsiveness to user problems.  My recent iPhone SE problem was resolved with immediate direct communication.  I was stunned, never experienced anything like it.  Thank you Paxton!

### 4/5 — Great way to understand weather at a glance!

*2019-08-04, version 6.3.3*

However, there are some minor, annoying bugs to fix. I’ll raise rating to 5-star once those fixed: 

1) It doesn’t retain Wx/Wind = Text setting (Enable Tap Setting is disabled); after cycling through bar/map/circle view, it always defaults back to Icons. Annoying.

2) Personal Visibility minimum have to be set to for example 3.99 if 4.0 is desired, otherwise it would be “black” on Circle View. Same goes for Ceiling minimum, e.g. 4999 for 5000. Minimum should mean “at or above”, and green in Circle View.

3) Temperatures shown in Map View are in Fahrenheit after changing Unit to Celsius. Also, default should be Celsius in aviation.

4) Tempo label in Circle View extends over the boundaries of the black background circle. This is just cosmetic.

5) Should also be able to find Personal Minimum settings in Settings menu. While it is in the tutorial, it is not very intuitive, or easy to find those settings unless going through the tutorial (tap and hold on Mins circle).

6) METAR needs to be tapped to cycle through, while TAF needs to be swiped vertically to cycle through. Users end up doing all kind of taps/swipes, as it is hard to remember unless app is used frequently. Needs a more consistent way for cycling through the categories. Tap is easier. Maybe icon/text mode switching needs to be taken out from gestures (or use tap and hold for that), and use quick tap for cycling through both METAR and TAF.

7) Would be nice if the Tempo stripes could be tapped on to get more info on Tempo. (I guess this one is harder to implement.)

8) TAF Visibility is shown as 6.2 when it is greater than 6SM. While it probably comes from the conversion from 10km to statue miles, it looks strange. 6.0+ or similar abbreviation would look better IMO.

9) Bottom menu bar should be more consistent regardless which view is selected. Mins button is jumping to other side, aircraft icon is only presented in circle view, etc. Suggestion: right side of menu bar could always stay the same (same buttons), while left side of bar would show specific buttons relevant to the actual view selected.

Great potential, fantastic new way to get an understanding of the weather along the whole trip. Hopefully, these get resolved because there is no other app that is so intuitively different when it comes to presenting aviation weather. Super useful. Good job!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2019-06-12, version 6.3.0*

Great weather app.  Customer support is AWSOME.

### 1/5 — Too much info squeezed into small screen

*2018-11-26, version 5.6.3*

Too much info squeezed into small screen

**Developer response:** That is the point of the app to represent TAFs, Metars, Arimets, Sigmets & TFRs, in one location.  The visual arrangement is thought out very well and communicates a wealth of information very quickly as opposed to looking at these reports in any other platform.

### 5/5 — QUESTION

*2018-08-29, version 5.5.0*

I can only find the FREE version of WX24 Pilot.  How do I acquire the PAID version?

**Developer response:** If you go to Settings (lower left icon) then Subscriptions there are payment options.  Thx.

### 2/5 — Five stars for the app one star for the price

*2018-05-26, version 5.1.1*

I’ve been using this app for a couple of years and really like it.  Didn’t mind paying twelve bucks or so but $45 now?  Forget it, you lost me.  Good luck with your new business model.

**Developer response:** Well, after the government takes their cut, Apple takes theirs, and the ex takes hers, it didn't leave much for me!  You'll probably waste more money taxing or in a hold somewhere.  There is also a free version and a $2.99 weekly subscription.

### 5/5 — Great for Photographers Too

*2018-05-01, version 5.0.4*

Hey. I’m not a pilot, but I am a photographer. I use the cloud coverage feature to help plan my natural light shoots and I love it. Very accurate.

### 5/5 — JohnBRC

*2018-01-14, version 4.0.4*

Most phenomenal aviation app...a must have for ANY pilot, student, sport, private, commercial...virtually anyone who pursues aviation.  There is no better weather product even close.  The visual design of ALL pertinent weather information is like the advance from a DOS operating system of old, to the graphical user interface that drives all computers today.  I MUST add that the support help is beyond GREAT and very timely.  My question was answered immediately by the developer- even over the weekend.  No waiting for superb help. A great app and a great response team.
