Barry vs FYRAVUE

Hyper-local weather, for when you need to know exactly what's happening near you. Barry is built around the barometer, the radar and the wind at your field, and it tells you in plain words what they mean. See it coming See when the weather will reach you and how hard it will hit. The barometer has been a forecasting tool for centuries because it works. When pressure falls, something is coming, and the faster it falls, the stronger it will be. Barry reads the last three hours at the station nearest you and puts it in a sentence, so you can make the call on what's happening where you are. Line the pressure chart up with the radar forecast to see what's moving in and when. A radar you make your own Start with the radar and add what you want to see: fronts, pressure lines, wind, lightning, station reports. Most weather apps stop at the rain. Barry also shows the front it's riding on and the pressure behind it, and those tell you where weather is forming and where it's headed. Play back the last six hours, then run the forecast up to twelve hours ahead. Pick your altitude See the clouds, winds and temperatures at every altitude over your field, with icing and turbulence marked. Find the bases and tops, and the altitude with the better wind and the smoother ride, before you go. Check the crosswind Barry works the latest wind report out for every runway at your field and picks the one the wind favors, with its headwind, its crosswind and what the gusts add. It looks twelve hours ahead too, and tells you if the crosswind will pick up or another runway will take over. Density altitude is on the same page, for now and later in the day. And the rest The temperature now, today's high and tonight's low, hour by hour for the next day. Lightning nearby. An alert when the pressure starts dropping fast. Widgets for the Home Screen and Lock Screen, and a Live Activity to keep an eye on it. An Apple Watch app whose complications lead with the altimeter setting. On iPad, a dashboard sized to sit on your kneeboard. Where it comes from All the weather is from NOAA: the Aviation Weather Center, the HRRR and NBM models, MRMS radar and the GOES lightning mappers. It covers the lower 48 states. No ads, no account to make, and Barry doesn't track you. Barry Pro Barry is free with the dashboard and the radar. Barry Pro adds every layer on the radar, the last six hours and the forecast run, winds and clouds aloft, runway crosswinds, alerts, widgets and the watch app. It's $0.99 a year after a free month, or $2.99 once. If you had Barry before Pro, it's already yours. The yearly plan renews until you cancel it in Settings. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Barry is for situational awareness. Get a briefing before you fly. Barry is made by one pilot.

FYRAVUE helps you keep track of satellite-detected fire activity and modeled air and smoke data worldwide. Explore events on the map, save places that matter to you and see how current the displayed data is. What FYRAVUE offers: • Worldwide fire map: Nearby satellite detections are grouped into clear events. Heat intensity, regions and filters help you understand the data. • Satellite view: Explore the surroundings of a fire detection from above. Imagery provides geographic context, may be older and does not necessarily show a visible fire. • Clear air data: PM2.5 pollution, other pollutants and smoke indicators are presented separately, with units, timestamps and information about their model basis. • Your places in focus: Save places or use your current location. Set a radius from 5 to 250 km and choose your own PM2.5 alert thresholds for each place. • Local notifications: Get notices about newly detected thermal activity and confirmed PM2.5 alert levels. Repeated downloads do not count as new confirmation. • Fire data offline: The last valid fire dataset is retained for up to 72 hours. Map tiles and satellite imagery are not included in this offline cache. • Widgets: View fire detections, PM2.5 and smoke AOD for selected places on your Home Screen and Lock Screen. The different measures remain clearly separated. • Focused navigation: Compact map information, favorites, structured fire regions and light and dark map styles. Understanding air data Low PM2.5 pollution means less modeled fine-particle pollution, not low air quality. The PM2.5 rating is not an overall assessment of all air pollutants. Smoke AOD describes the optical thickness of the atmospheric column, not the air you breathe at ground level. Missing or outdated values are identified. Notifications in context Analysis of watched places and notifications run locally. iOS controls background and widget updates; fixed check intervals and real-time alerts are not guaranteed. Missing or disappearing satellite detections do not confirm that an area is fire-free or that a fire has been extinguished. Data sources and limitations FYRAVUE uses NASA LANCE FIRMS data and modeled atmospheric data from the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service. Thermal anomalies are not individually confirmed fires. Satellite and model data may be delayed, incomplete or inaccurate. The app is not an official warning, health or evacuation system. Always follow local authorities in an emergency. No account required. Location and notification permissions are optional. The app contains banner advertising; the map view remains ad-free.
