User Reviews

Reviewers praise the app for easy use, a clear interface, and usefulness for wind calculations and crosswind verification. The most mentioned issue is a persistent 15-knot wind additive limit with no toggle to 20, causing mismatch with airline practices and official guidance. Some also note that updates can affect gust handling and that users would like additional features in the future.

Pros

Easy to use with an intuitive interface.
Very useful for wind calculations, especially crosswinds and wind components, and for verifying Vref and Vapp data.
Provides precise data verification and supports quick checks under challenging wind conditions.
Generally praised as a helpful tool for flight planning and data validation.

Cons

Wind additive is capped at 15 knots with no option to switch to 20, leading to misalignment with airline practice and official procedures (noted by multiple reviewers).

Recent reviews

beware of the app limitation ref+15; wasted $1 for useless app.

It would be nice if there were some option to toggle between the 15 and 20 additive. The new FCTM May say 15, but airlines are slow to actually change the procedure. Flying the 747 and our FCOM and current version of FCTM still shows max of ref and 20. Other than that it’s fantastic.

Shot an approach today into KDEN 35L (351 HDG) Vref 140 winds 260@20G36 according to the app Vapp 145. During an update it now does not add full gust factor anymore for crosswind. No longer complies with Boeing FTM of 1/2 headwind component plus the full gust up to 15 knots (still 20 at some companies).
