Comments on Windsock - Automatic METAR/TAF for Android

★★★★★ Owain Rice · Dec 12, 2023

Excellent app, and very well worth the price for the pro version. One suggestion for improvement would be if Cumulonimbus (CB) was included as criteria in the custom notifications. That would be perfect.

★★★★★ Fletcher Davis · Apr 20, 2019

I am a private pilot and fly 3x a week training for my instrument and this app gives a great quick look at the current metar reports and tafs(forecast). Simple and effective.

★★★★☆ Intrance None · Oct 17, 2017

I like the design and the app functions well. My wishlist for future versions would be; - Options for manual sorting of airports and sorting by station name instead of ICAO code - Choice between ICAO or IATA codes - Option for ICAO classification (IMC/VMC instead of FAA MVFR/VFR/IFR)

★☆☆☆☆ Rick Stirling · Nov 29, 2021

Doesn't know about our local airport that sends METARs & TAFs 1u7

★☆☆☆☆ Leo de Cristofano · Sep 19, 2021

Having to pay to stop the annoying mute notification sound is just a sly way to get people to pay. Not impressed.

★★☆☆☆ James Paxton · Dec 20, 2022

Widgets and in-app have stopped updating. Weather stuck from last week
