  • Not worth the money.

    This app has not been updated in years. The basic functionality is there, but it has not even been updated to fit the larger iPhone screen size. Don’t waste your money on this.

  • Too limiting and inaccurate

    Winds are generally given in 10 degree increments. The app clicks off one degree at a time. The default should be 10 degrees (with option to tighten it to 5 or 1 degree increments). When I put in runway 26 and winds of 260 at 20 knots, the app calculated both a headwind and a tailwind component,With the tail and component exceeding my 10 knot limitation. This is not possible. Also, some limitations (like tailwind)Including gust limitation. I can see no way to input a guest in the app.

  • Pretty good

    Like to see clearer, larger display. Still no X or 11 support. Not an active developer. Also, It kills audio when launched. No clue why. Sloppy coding?

  • Simple and easy to use.

    I’ve been using this app for several years with no problems. Very intuitive . I frequently use it in China, where wind speeds are reported in MPS. I wish it had a provision for converting meters per second to knots.

  • Cool app, easy to use

    Easy to use in the cockpit. Intuitive controls. Would love to see gust factor added.

  • Few or no instructions

    This app has pretty good graphics but zero instructions. Abour 15 minutes after download, I deleted the app from my iPad

    It does exactly what it should do. Gives you the data based in a simple to understand interface. Exactly what you need in preflight and on approach. I really wish they would develop a fuel app as well in this type of format. Thanks!!!!

  • Its a Great Application

    Thank you so much for this application, it's just the exact application I have been looking for... It's easy, handy, fast and amazing for fast decision of which runway is in use even when you are offline..... I just tried to use it now Abd found out that the new button u added was actually good for all the runway and wind speed ... It's just great update..... I will surely tell my friends about it to get it and rate it... Thanks

  • Auto Rotate would be a big improvement

    By Wwatcher
    I definitely like this free app. The 1 big improvement would be to add auto rotation from portrait to landscape mode. In the cockpit I mount my iPad in landscape mode which makes using this app a little bit of a pain. Otherwise, it's very helpful and has attractive graphics.

  • Great app
