User Reviews and Ratings
★★★★★great!
this app is great at what it does: simple, fast, and easy... everyone else is bloated, ugly and cumbersome!
★★★★★The best crosswind app in the App Store
I can’t believe this app is free. Hands down the best looking and most intuitive crosswind app for iOS.
★★★★★Great tool to have in the airplane
It took a couple tries to figure out all of the subtleties of this app. But it works extremely well, it is a wonderful tool to have in the airplane for arriving at any airport after receiving the ATIS OR ASOS.
★★★★★Just right visual calculator for wind
This is simple to use, easy to read, accurate and best of all: reliable. This can actual help you in the cockpit for approach planning. Great work on this app. Highly recommended.
★★★★★Great crosswind tool for the flight deck
Simple to use. After you set the limits of your aircraft there is no typing required. Setting the runway orientation, wind direction and velocity can be done in seconds. Additionally if you set your aircraft limits it will alert you when the winds are out of limits. Great, simple tool.
