WindLimit gives pilots a fast, clear answer to one question before every takeoff and landing: is this wind within limits? Enter your runway, wind direction, and speed, or pull live METAR for any of 12,700+ U.S. airports, and WindLimit instantly computes your headwind and crosswind components, checks them against your aircraft's limits, and flags an exceedance the moment you're outside them. FEATURES • Live METAR for public, private, and military airports nationwide, with automatic magnetic variation correction • Every runway end's crosswind and head/tailwind side by side, with the best end badged • Manual and ATIS entry when no live weather feed is available • Runway-aware exceedance alerts, keyed to the runway you actually pick • Set your own max demonstrated crosswind and personal minimums per aircraft • Clean, glanceable compass display with drag-to-set wind input • Light and dark themes WindLimit is a free, ad-supported informational tool. A one-time in-app purchase removes ads and unlocks: • Multiple saved aircraft profiles • Nearby airports with live wind, best runway, crosswind, and a within-limits read for each • Favorite and recently used airports IMPORTANT WindLimit is an informational aid only. It is not a source of official weather, performance, or limitation data, and must not be used as the sole basis for any operational decision. Always verify winds, runway conditions, and crosswind limitations against official sources: current ATIS/METAR, NOTAMs, and your aircraft manufacturer's or operator's current manuals and limitations. The pilot in command remains solely responsible for every operational decision. Designed by pilots.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: WindLimit at 5.0 against GoTime Grid's 4.5. GoTime Grid's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (6 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GoTime Grid sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and WindLimit sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
WindLimit holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GoTime Grid has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
GoTime Grid ships an update every 3 days, WindLimit every 2 days. Both last shipped on October 31, 2026.
