Hello!

I am a happy user of your app. I enjoy flying with it.

There are very good applications of wether radar that we all use just to have an idea of how is the wether in some areas. With the retard you can not use them to real time flying like ADS-B but give you an idea of what is arround you.

Do you have any plans to include that? May ve there are any payed service that give that info with low delay?

Thank you and regards,
Manuel

Aren't METAR and TAF (Weather/download weather for chart/your country) an adaequate workaround? It gives you an impression and the forecast slider even allows you to predict it rather precisely. In flight weather would be great, but if you circumnavigate rain showers, you are dealing with small regional effects maybe of miles to dozens of miles size. Those move with wind speed, which is rather fast in relation to their size. Therefore, rain location from an hour ago is useless. If you want to know precisely where a front actually is, outdated data don't help you at all. In Germany, we can ask the FIS, Flight Information Service. Although they don't have the weather as a map, they have actual metars.

So for this time I support the conservative approach of Skydemon.

One thing that could be changed: you have to activeate the weather overlay every single time you are switching to flight mode. If you have to enter planning mode (to modify a route) and switch back, you loose wind and METAR/TAF/Symbols and you have to reactivate them (which is cumbersome on the Ipad).
