User Reviews

WindCheck is a feature-rich preflight tool that combines wind data, weather, charts, NOTAMs, and ADS-B traffic with a pilot-focused UI and a handy Apple Watch METAR widget. Reviewers praise its usefulness for quick wind interpretation and overall usability, especially for student pilots. However, there are recurring reliability concerns about ADS-B: data can fail to load or fail to display on the map, sometimes requiring a reinstall, and live traffic visibility can be inconsistent. Overall, it is a strong, valuable app with room for reliability improvements.

Pros

Instructive and highly useful for pilots; quick, easy interpretation of wind and weather data.
Comprehensive preflight data: VFR sectional charts with weather, METARs, TAFs, and NOTAMS in one app.
Reliable live weather and ADS-B traffic data with generally accurate traffic on the map.
Pilot-focused UI/UX with attention to usability and a clean design.
Apple Watch METAR widget adds convenient, at-a-glance weather information.

Cons

ADS-B data can fail to load or display on the map, with a persistent 'Loading ADSB traffic' message and a reset/reinstall often required.
Live aircraft visibility on the map is not always reliable; some users cannot see traffic even when it should be displayed.

Great app. Very instructive and helpful for flying.

I was looking for a simple app that would give me VFR Sectional Chart with location access. You would think it’s simple, there should be tons of those apps, right? This is the first one I found. But it also has weather, METARS, TAFS, NOTAMS!! It’s a perfect preflight app.

ADSB was displaying for a while, and even saw aircraft traveling on screen..... But now seeing the following constant notification (without any aircraft showing): "Loading ADSB traffic....." No way to reset this data stream without uninstalling & reinstalling app ?
