Pros and cons of AirWX Aviation Weather app for iPhone and iPad

AirWX Aviation Weather app good for

I was one of the first to buy this app when it was first released. I use it on every flight. Im an instructor and recommend this app to anyone that flys. This is truly a must have.
Please fix the pixel setting to the new resolution of the iPhone 4. It looks terrible. But other than that I love it and use it mostly everyday
It took several tries to load my favorite airports, but with patience and numerous tries, I had success. The download site showed images of IFR and Sectional charts. Finding the charts is not immediately intuitive. There is a "charts" button on the bottom of the screen. This is to access weather charts only. To access nav charts, one must first select an airport, then select a METAR report. On the METAR page one can then select a variety of charts associated with that airport. The weather aspect seems to work fine. The "nearest" function was slick and also provides a quick link to add these to "favorites." Another handy function is that when having selected a specific airport, one can push a "call AWOS" button to hear the current report. One can also select an AFD (Airport Facilities Directory) to view a variety of additional information. Now, if it would only show the current fuel prices!
New version is good...as a military wx forecaster, I would rather just see the whole encoded taf all at once, without having to scroll through each decoded section however. The new interface and favorites screen is much improved. Now I can get a quick glance at all of my forecast sites and see how my tafs are playing out when Im off shift.
If you are a student pilot or even a commercial pilot, it is a good application to have. It is worth the cost, and helps you be more prepare and make precise decision regarding weather.
This is exactly what I want, thanks a lot for the new update especially for the iPad. Eery pilot need this, the best ever.

Some bad moments

ve got the old version, no upgrade offered w/o paying! Careful, this may be SOP!
This is a decent enough app, but you can get a lot more bang for your buck by using free apps like DTC DUAT and FlightAware. For $10, $14 if you bought the flight tracker in app purchase (FlightAware), I expected a whole lot more.
It does not have search 3 letter IDENTIFIERS for the airports. It used to, but not anymore. I dont care what Sully uses.
Cant use program at all. It used to work OK, then it crashed only bringing up winds, now it always crashes a couple of seconds after opening app. Theres no way to get the older version that worked, so its now 100% useless.
I think i wasted $10. I expected that the Wx (nexrad) would appear over the sectional. This is not the case. Also, when you load a sectional or try to zoom or move around, it takes a REALLY long time. There are other integrated flight systems out there that do a much better job. This app would be great if I could get NEXRAD overlayed over the sectional. This is what I thought I was getting. Dissapointing. Sorry !
Only allows one(1)favorite ! You have to enter an airport every time other than your one favorite !!? Not user friendly!
