The original "I don't know it all" of aviation.
I'm trying to grok it myself.it's probably me but I found it very difficult to use and understand.
it's subscription based.What are the in app purchases?
My small brain can not understand either.it's probably me but I found it very difficult to use and understand.
Purdy, but I'll stick with foreflight.
I'm coming to the conclusion that this is the developers main challenge.If it is not intuitive right off the bat, you might as well read the simple and easy-to-understand textual description
Actually, one feature that looked interesting in the video was the flight plan representation.Seems like a solution in search of a problem to me. Getting a feel for weather by reading METARs and TAFs becomes second nature after awhile. This makes me think of the traffic pattern calculator, just in web form.
But hey, if it helps someone or makes interpreting weather faster for them - that's great.

How do you sort the list of airports I have added? Adding them was easy and intuitive (so was removing the example ones I don't want to see). But I don't see a way to re-order the list.
Hmmm...I'll investigate further. Thanks for ponting that out!
The nugget of a good idea is here... But some refining of different bits Might be needed...
One is assuming this is a "static" list of METARS/TAFs like AeroWeather. It isn't. You enter your route into the search and this is showing the current info along your path.
Paxton, in your search box, you also need to provide an easy way to input estimated time of departure. The way you have it now is hard to find.
Paxton,
After giving this a decent shakedown, I consider it a good start. But it has a way to go before I would become a subscriber. Especially since there are other tools out there that do most of what you do (and almost all of what I need) that I have become comfortable with. The concept is good, but I think you published a bit early and are missing various bits of polish and improvement.
When you do publish a major upgrade that includes much of that long To Do list, do let me and the others know. And I would hope you would re-offer the free trial so we can see and evaluate the updated version.
I would also suggest inviting many in this forum to be your beta testers. We have a good diverse group who are willing to try new things and provide feedback.
@skylanerg; If the webinar is recorded, please provide the link of where to find it.
I wish to see the material, but the timing is lousy for me.
[Paxton, is it a 3 day or 3 month trial?]
