3/5Participating FBOs?
Not sure all the listed participating FBOs know they are participants. “Messaged” SWIFT at KPHX about 30 minutes out and never got a reply. Called in range via radio instead. Spoke to CSR in person and they had never heard of FBOLink. No problem with D-ATIS. Works great. Just hope messaging system comes along as concept is great.

5/5Awesome app!
D-atis is what I was looking for and this app delivered! Messaging is handy, although I suggest making it easier to switch between aircraft from the messaging tab instead of Settings.

1/5Won’t let me register
The app just keeps me in a loop. It tells me I need to enable push notifications. I say yes. It asks for my email. I provide that and it takes me right back to the screen that tells me I need to enable push notifications. Makes no difference if I say skip, still comes back to ask for email.

1/5Crash and Burn
Used to work on the Mac when it first came out. Now just crashes and won’t open. Phone app works great. Deleted it and waited several months to reinstall (yes my Mac version is current), But App still crashes.

1/5Cannot sign on
It worked initially, but I had to log back in and now it’s just stuck in a loop. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling it, but that doesn’t work.

Introducing MyTIS weather reports for pilots. MyTIS is a new beta feature that integrates current METAR data from AviationWeather.gov with runway information, approach details, and the ATIS code from select airports. This feature is intended for advisory use only and does not substitute FAA requirements to monitor ATIS broadcasts or review current NOTAMs. SEND strongly recommends tuning into the ATIS broadcast via radio when within range for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
