The Wx24 Pilot Aviation Weather App is now available in a free version.
No strings attached, no popup ads, just a presentation of aviation weather that gives pilots a quick and easy read of conditions and forecasts, in addition to providing weather reports for even the smallest of US airports, according to developers.
Wx24 Pilot’s difference is its way of presenting aviation weather that gives pilots the ability to see and understand complex METARs and TAFs in seconds, developers continue. Even AIRMETs, SIGMETs and TFRs are presented on one screen for weather at a glance.
The Wx24 Pilot app pulls together numerous aviation weather reports and presents them in a simple visual format.
The graphical presentation of aviation weather by Wx24 Pilot allows pilots to quickly assess aviation weather conditions to improve situational awareness and safety of the flight, company officials note.
“The free version of Wx24 Pilot provides a great value to recreational pilots, student pilots, and their CFIs. These pilots usually fly within their local airspace and don’t require the app’s robust full version features, such as flight planning, weather charts and personal minimums,” said Paxton Calvanese, the app’s developer. “And the free version doesn’t have those annoying pop-ups and banners ads found on most free apps.”
used the app a couple years ago, now requiring subscription…not sure how to get the free version described in the article.
I downloaded it, and the tutorial shows great features, When I tried to use them it told me those features were unavailable with my subscription. It’s free in only a basic version that shows weather at your local airports. Upgrades to allow more features costs between ~$25 and ~$45 a year. It looks like a great app, but I’m already spending too much on other apps, and the free version doesn’t do anything I can’t see on apps I already have.
Are you going to make this app available for the Adroid devices?
THis looks great. Does it cover Canada?
It is a fantastic app for cross country planning. If your departure time is somewhat flexible it shows visually the weather difference for the entire route.
When I go to the Apple store there is no mention or option for the free version, just a free trial.
It’s too bad that it’s only available on Apple.
