User Reviews

Overall, users praise the app for accurate METAR/TAF data and a concise, easy-to-use interface, ideal for professional pilots and long-term users. However, reliability is the dominant concern: intermittent outages, blank screens, and widgets not working on newer Android versions, plus data-fetch failures for weather and NOTAMs. Some users also complain of feature creep and difficult color schemes. The app is still valued for updates and NOAA changes handling, and for extras like the IATA/ICAO dictionary, but stability remains the key issue.

Pros

Accurate, concise METAR/TAF data ideal for professional pilots
Simple, straightforward UI focused on essential aviation weather information
Longstanding, trusted app with years of updates and maintenance
Regular improvements and resilience to NOAA website changes
Helpful extras like IATA/ICAO dictionary integration and practical usability touches

Cons

Reliability issues: app often stops working or becomes intermittent, with blank displays
Widget support broken on newer Android versions (notably Android 14)
Data fetch/download problems for weather and NOTAMs (sometimes fails to load)
UI readability degraded by feature creep and hard-to-see colors
Some components like the TAF decoder or other features occasionally stop working

Recent reviews

Will update back to better rating once the ongoing problem of jumbled up METARs is fixed, been broken since Sep. Any site which has SPECIs seems to throw the whole thing out of whack and ends up in one long string of multiple observations. If there is more than one site then multiple sites also get mixed up and sometimes even merged into the TAFs, no idea why. Used to be good prior to that update
