WindCheck is fantastic and intuitive!

I appreciate the attention to detail in the UI. It’s clear the developers are truly thinking about pilot usability instead of just slapping info and buttons on the screen. I am currently a student pilot, and this app is helping me tremendously by providing what I need quickly without the initial weight of using ForeFlight from the onset. Even after I achieve my PPL, I will continue using this app in my toolkit. The latest addition of the Apple Watch decoded METAR widget is awesome. The widgets usability is well thought out and the order and placement of information makes sense. Thank you so much for a great app. Please keep up the great work I appreciate it.

Best app for sUAS Pilots

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.

I remember a very unpolished previous version and uninstalled it back then - this new version is much better, well done!Couple suggestions:• General: Add Dark mode (just following the system behavior will do); any pilot flying at night will appreciate that!• Airport: Instead of Headwind: -8 I’d present it as Tailwind: 8 and use red for that entire line. The Displaced threshold line gets cut off in many occasions, you may want to abbrev. or reserve more space• Map: Love it! If you could have at least three different icons though (Airlines/smaller GA/Heli) that would be useful• Compass: Love it!• Scratchpad: Love it! But add option for black background (or change via Dark mode)

Developer Response
Thank you so much for the updated response and all the valuable feedback. You can be sure we'll incorporate these and mostly you can expect a lot more things to come in this app in the near future.
