FAQ:
Q: Why won’t you make this app free?
A: It costs me (the developer) money to run the server for this App. That’s where it gets the data about the Airports in the US. Plus I will be constantly updating this app and all updates are FREE for the life of the app.
Q: Why isn't my local airport available?
A: Please realize that not all airports have METAR or TAF services. You can use the nearest airport feature to find airports with weather information.
Q: Do the sectional charts move like Google Maps?
A: Version 1.6 (available now) will allow you to pan and zoom sectional charts. Although you still can't use swiping and pinching...that will be available later (i'm still working on it).
Q: Where is [insert feature here]?
A: It's coming. I have a long list of feature requests, and I promise to get each one done. In the meantime, send me emails with your requests and I will add them to the list if its doable.
If you have any other questions or problems please e-mail the developer at felix@bepilot.com

Customer Reviews
Not ready for PrimeTime
This app has some fallbacks. First and foremost it only gives METARs and not TAFs. It also has crashed almost everytime I used it.
Sorry, doesn't make it for pay.
It would be better if it was free. Personally don't waste your money. You can get the same information and more with aviation.mobi. I don't get these apps that access the internet. Unless it does some calculations for something like density altitude, fuel consumption, etc, you can get the same weather information using the web app widgets that were part of version 1.4.1. Just cut and paste. I removed it from my iPhone.
