User Reviews

NavMonster is praised for a fast, organized, GA-friendly interface that consolidates weather data in one place and offers valuable prog charts and wind aloft. However, users repeatedly report reliability problems: data updates lag or METARs are stale, prog charts aren’t viewable or readable, radar imagery fails to load, and there are server errors with limited support. Update-related breakages and maintenance concerns further impact trust. Overall, it’s a strong tool when it works, but reliability and ongoing maintenance are major themes.
Pros
  • Fast, well-organized, phone-friendly interface for weather data.
  • All relevant weather information in one place, easy for pilots to access.
  • Prog charts and wind aloft provide valuable flight-planning tools.
  • GA-focused app with strong potential and favorable user sentiment when working.
Cons
  • Weather data not updating consistently; METARs appear stale.
  • Prog charts not viewable or readable on many devices.
  • Radar images not loading (and related imagery issues).
  • Parsing/server errors with limited or unclear support.
  • Update/maintenance issues leading to breakage and perceived lack of ongoing care.

I used to love this app, but it recently stopped working and won’t update weather

METARs all show as 28 days old. Based on the metar text they are all actually about 1 day old. Not much value.

As of now 4 March 2025 22:35 (UTC-8), the data have not been updated in 24 days. I have switched to the app Metar-Taf which requires a one-time payment. (I am not affiliated with that app other than as a user.) This is disappointing as NavMonster was refreshingly simple, quick, and reliable. I hope it comes back some day.
