This application continues to log me out at irregular intervals. That in and of itself isn’t that big of a deal, however when I log back in all my favorite charts are gone. I save them in a particular order for my self briefing. What’s more is that I must add the charts back in, in reverse order of viewing. There’s no function that allows shifting the order of charts saved.
What is this
Couldn’t figure out how to create a login. I just wanted to look at weather…
Radar Data
I am using version 2019.2.2 and it loads the last 5 hours of radar depicting data before running radar. This takes a very long time especially using the aircraft WiFi system, usually over 10 minutes. And if you change the area of depiction, it restarts the loading process. As a pilot, I do not need the previous 5 hours of data and I don’t usually have the time in flight to wait on it to load to make decisions. So using the radar in this version is worthless.
Deceptive
Unless you are a corporate customer, this app doesn’t work. It downloads, but unless you have the sign in information and password, no weather information is available. Don’t bother downloading this app unless you work for an airline.
Latest Update Causes Issues
The most recent update took away the passenger brief module on airport weather and now causes long (timing out) downloads resulting in incomplete weather package downloads.
Best feature is gone
Descent app. However, the last update removed one of the most useful features. The extended forecast was especially useful for extended sequence planning for packing purposes, asa well as briefing passengers and crew.
Local Forecast gone on airport tab
I fly corporately and used to love the app. We also use ForeFlight for aviation purposes. My favorite part of the WSI app was the multi-day forecast you can check for a 3-4 days. It was great for telling passengers what to expect and helped me for packing purposes. I also used it for baseball practices. I’m strongly considering cancelling our subscription.
Crashing Constantly
Beware latest update. Crashes repeatedly and unsuitable for use. Fortunately, our charting app now has usable weather with lightning data.
Also if you do get it open, multiday information gone, so knowing what is needed for a four day trip, go elsewhere. Two thumbs down.
Bring back the outlook.
I used it constantly. Of course we need the metars and TAFs, but let us see down the road too . Please put that back in.
Major feature no longer Available
The multi day forecast for the selected airport is no longer available. That was a very useful feature unfortunately
