## SkyBrief Description
SkyBrief — Preflight Weather Briefings for Pilots

Honest, complete weather briefings you can trust before every flight. SkyBrief turns raw METAR, TAF, TFR and NOTAM data into a clear go/no-go picture — with no invented values and no guesswork. When a data source is unavailable, SkyBrief tells you plainly instead of filling the gap with made-up numbers.

FREE
• Live METAR & TAF for any U.S. airport, decoded into plain language
• Automatic VFR / MVFR / IFR / LIFR flight category and a go/no-go read
• NOTAM digest — active notices grouped by type, closures and restrictions first
• Nearby stations, airport directory, and a 24-hour conditions trend
• Weight & balance calculator with CG envelope
• Flight logbook, currency tracker, and custom checklists
• Home Screen widget — your home airport's conditions at a glance
• Shareable briefing cards

PRO
• AI-powered plain-language briefings, with voice read-aloud
• Route briefings with real FAA TFRs and true terrain profiles
• Winds-aloft nav log and a best-altitude optimizer (compare time & fuel by altitude)
• Live radar & satellite overlay on your route
• Personal-minimums monitoring with optional push alerts
• Kneeboard flight mode, W&B what-if scenarios, and PDF briefing export
• Cloud-synced briefing history

BUILT ON HONEST DATA
Your decisions deserve honest inputs. SkyBrief shows real observations and forecasts from aviationweather.gov and the FAA — and is transparent whenever data is missing or a scan can't complete.

ACCESSIBLE
Full in-app text-size scaling and high-contrast, readable text in every lighting and sky condition.

SkyBrief is a decision-support tool and is not a substitute for an official FAA weather briefing. Always obtain an official briefing before flight.

## SkyBrief Reviews in United States

### *---- "Not accurate"
I downloaded and tried this app for about 14 hours. Its layout is clunky but not terrible and once you learn where things are… it’s kinda ok.  My biggest issue is I tried a flight plan to see if it would give me accurate weather.. it showed VFR and it’s actually storming outside with a ceiling at 1200’.  I had high hopes based on the other reviews but… it’s not with downloading much less $40 a year.

### ***-- "Needs bugs squashed"
Seems like a pretty good app and I see why it’s a subscription as there’s backend that needs to be paid for. But there is an issue with the custom settings not “sticking” and there is no “save” button on it. For example I put in my personal minimums and aircraft and when I come back in it’s defaulted to a different aircraft and my minimums are back to default as well.

### ***-- "Comprehensive, yet still needs work."
There’s no option to provide feedback the app. The font color choices are very hard to read, with white text on super light blue background. Switching to dark mode and there are some spots with dark blue text on black, same problem. There’s also no option to increase font size. It would be nice to have the option on making everything bigger and more contrast in color.  Looking forward to seeing this app improve. Glad we can use it without popup ads to pay, this is refreshing.

### ***** "PIREP"
This app saved me over 30 minutes in preflighting I really recommend for student pilots and GA pilots
