5/5Super helpful!
This is a fantastic app that made getting all ,y aviation weather quick and easy! I love being able to add the widget to my lock screen for quick access. No more having to open apps to find my airport and look at the weather. It’s available right away!

4/5Solid but room for improvement
The app works just as advertised and is worth the dollar. For me it would have been 5 stars if the app would automatically locate the nearest airport base on your location and change the metar automatically instead of manually doing it every time I land at a different airport. Hopefully they can update the app and it be perfect!

5/5Works great, super easy
The app works great! It’s super easy to use and you only have to set it up once, after that you can see the current metar just by clicking on your phone. 10/10 would recommend

4/5Display issue
I love the app and it may just be me but the widget is not fully displayed. What I mean is on my lock screen it is cutoff short and the rest is behind a “…”. I also can’t choose a bigger option and tapping it only refreshes it so I can’t see the full thing. It’s probably still being worked on so it’s not a big deal.
