Version History What's new: - Airport diagrams are now refreshed every month, and the app lets you know when new diagram data is available: a badge on the Settings tab and an update row at the top of Settings take you straight to it - Up-to-date airport, runway and frequency data built in (FAA October 2026 cycle and fresh worldwide airport data) As always, this release also includes bug fixes and performance improvements. Blue skies! 1.216 10h ago What's new: - Adaptive weather map: METAR detail grows as you zoom in — the flight category from afar, the runway layout with the wind barb closer, and the full METAR values up close - Runway layout on airport icons: see at a glance how the wind lines up with the runways - One symbol per airport: the icon, its weather and its code no longer overlap - When you rotate the map, runways and wind barbs turn with it, while text stays upright - Choose how METAR stations are shown: Adaptive, Classic METAR Plot, Airport + Category, Wind Speed or Temperature - Map settings regrouped by topic, with simpler SIGMET and airport type filters - The user guide and the METAR plot legend explain the new map symbols As always, this release also includes bug fixes and performance improvements. Blue skies! 1.215 6d ago What's new: - NOTAM timeline: switch the NOTAM tab to a timeline that shows every NOTAM as a bar on one time axis, grouped by category, from 6 hours up to 7 days - Daily and weekly NOTAM schedules (D) are drawn as the actual active periods; anything ambiguous stays striped so you read the text - Pick a time — your departure or arrival — and whatever is not in force then fades out; the list can be filtered to that moment too - The TAF and the crosswind on the best open runway run on the same axis: when a runway closes, the crosswind switches to the runway you can actually use - Night is shaded from sunset to sunrise at the airport - A new user guide article explains the timeline with a live legend As always, this release also includes bug fixes and performance improvements. Blue skies! 1.214 Oct 4 What's new: - One colour per flight category, everywhere — the map, badges, timelines, widgets, Apple Watch and reports now share the same VFR, MVFR, IFR and LIFR colours with white text, readable in light and dark mode, and darker with Increase Contrast - Clearer runway wind: the crosswind timeline uses calm green, amber and red with the knots in every period, and a runway closed by NOTAM gets a solid red band - A stale METAR is now flagged with an orange time and a warning sign - Smoother map: airport pins stay in place while you pan, and an airport's code is no longer shown twice next to its METAR badge. New users start with the Hybrid map - Airport details have a cleaner header, and “Jump to” has its own button - Widgets and the Watch complication stay readable in tinted and clear styles - Better accessibility: VoiceOver for the TAF timeline, Settings and the Apple Watch app, larger text throughout Settings, and Reduce Motion is respected As always, this release also includes bug fixes and performance improvements. Blue skies! 1.213 Oct 3 What's new: - Recent Alerts — a new list shows every Weather Alert from the last 72 hours for your monitored airports, including the ones that never reached you as a notification. Times are in UTC, an alert overtaken by a later change is dimmed, the newest one shows the airport’s current flight category, and a tap opens the airport (a NOTAM alert opens right at that NOTAM). Open it with the clock button in Favorites or from the Weather Alerts settings - Favorites has a cleaner header: the buttons sit on top and the title below, so it is no longer squeezed - Weather notifications are now grouped by airport in Notification Center As always, this release also includes bug fixes and performance improvements. Blue skies! 1.212 Oct 2 What's new: - Runway at a glance — right below the METAR, the Weather tab now shows the recommended runway for the current wind with its headwind and crosswind, flags it when your crosswind limit is exceeded or the favoured runway is closed by NOTAM, and opens the airport diagram in one tap - Faster navigation — “Jump to” in the ••• menu takes you straight to any section of the Weather tab, a scroll-to-top button appears on every tab of the airport details, and tapping the current tab also brings you back to the top - The airport diagram now also leaves out runways closed by NOTAM when it recommends a runway, and lists them among the closures As always, this release also includes bug fixes and performance improvements. Blue skies! 1.211 Sep 30 What's new: - NOTAM alerts — with Premium you now get a push when a runway closure is published, 24 hours before it starts and when it takes effect, and again if it is changed or cancelled; ILS, runway lighting and navaid outages are announced too. The notification carries the NOTAM text, and tapping it opens that exact NOTAM - Calmer weather alerts — a worsening flight category is still reported at once, but an improvement only after it has held for about 30 minutes, so a ceiling hovering at a boundary no longer notifies you back and forth - Clearer alert settings — a help button explains every alert type, and airports without a METAR station are marked, since only NOTAM alerts can come from them - My Position and point details — tap the location button (or the blue dot) for your coordinates, GPS altitude, ground speed and track, magnetic variation and the nearest airport; press and hold anywhere on the map for the same details of that point, including its position from the nearest airport in reporting format, such as LHBP 045°/12 NM - Easier to use — larger touch targets and haptic feedback throughout the app As always, this release also includes bug fixes and performance improvements. Blue skies! 1.210 Sep 29 What's new: - NOTAMs you can trust at a glance — cancelled NOTAMs and the originals they revoke no longer clutter the list, far fewer items are flagged critical, and an estimated expiry is now marked as estimated instead of counted down - Daily and weekly NOTAM schedules — the D) schedule line now appears on the card and in your briefing. It affects around 40% of European NOTAMs and was invisible in the decoded view until now; a scheduled NOTAM is marked Scheduled rather than active now - Runway cards carry NOTAM status — closures and restrictions per runway, decided by the Q-code rather than the wording, and a closed runway no longer gets the into-wind recommendation. Until NOTAMs have loaded the card says so, so a missing marker is never mistaken for an open runway - A bigger user guide — a new NOTAM section explaining every marker on the page, a glossary of 26 NOTAM abbreviations (CLSD, U/S, WIP, PERM and more), and new articles for the Location, Info and Nearby tabs As always, this release also includes bug fixes and performance improvements. Blue skies! 1.209 Sep 24 What's new: - New built-in user guide — a searchable, offline handbook for reading aviation weather: how to decode METAR and TAF, the station model, flight categories and map layers, plus a glossary of sky cover, present-weather and TAF change codes - Look up any code — search OVX, BECMG or P6SM and go straight to what it means. Open the guide from Settings, or from the ⋯ menu on an airport to land on the topic for the tab you're reading - Airport diagrams stay current — the app now notices when newer diagram data is published and lets you know; the download always stays your decision As always, this release also includes bug fixes and performance improvements. Blue skies! 1.208 Sep 22 What's new: - Nearby airports, rebuilt for diversions — filter by radius, METAR availability or better flight category, sort by distance, best weather or longest runway, and tap any result to open its details - Every nearby result now reads like a pilot's note: magnetic bearing from the airport, distance, longest runway, the recommended runway end with its head- and crosswind, and how old the observation is - Better briefings — a summary page opens every multi-airport report (category, wind, runway, visibility, ceiling, QNH, density altitude and critical NOTAM count), critical NOTAMs come first, and stale METAR or expired TAF data is flagged. PDF and text reports are now identical in content - Tap the ⓘ on the METAR symbol for a full legend of the station model — wind barbs, sky cover, weather signs and flight category thresholds, all in your chosen units - Accessibility throughout: full VoiceOver support for raw METAR/TAF, the weather timeline, map pins and widgets, plus Dynamic Type support across the app As always, this release also includes bug fixes and performance improvements. Blue skies! 1.207 Sep 21 What's new: - Airport diagrams, now built for the cockpit — the current wind is drawn right on the diagram and the recommended runway is highlighted, so the best option is obvious at a glance - See yourself on the field — your GPS position is shown on the diagram, and tapping any runway opens its details - Closed runways are clearly marked and are never recommended - More accurate US data — runway designators, frequencies and navaids now come straight from the FAA NASR source As always, this release also includes bug fixes and performance improvements. Blue skies! 1.206 Sep 19 What's new: - New airport diagrams — see an airport's real ground layout: runways, taxiways, aprons and helipads, drawn from OpenStreetMap.
