Pros and cons of Paragliding Map app for iPhone and iPad

Paragliding Map app good for

quick and trust worthy way to se conditions on the site youre planning to visit.
Use this app frequently while traveling. Always important to coordinate any flying with the experienced locals.
Great source of info to have, while its a fantastic app i would add that one should be aware of the amount of whether stations around and if its night time and app says its fly able its only because its getting wind and direction as a flyable reading... But other then that best app for flying i have

Some bad moments

Like one other fellow mentioned, I switched to s new phone and now cannot use the app
Great to navigate and all Weatherstations are in there..... Thanks
Cant wait to really use it this summer! Two update suggestions- could you show the wind at each weather station as an arrow? And could you give an option to show the wind in mph instead of km/h?
I use it every week and works just great, all my friends (pilots) call me to ask me what the app says :-) and on the flying site works like a charm!
Pretty neat app! I checked on 2 local sites(120+ miles away) and both had been updated in the past hour. Wish there was an iPad version. Also if it was tailored to all powerless flight groups instead of just paragliding, that would be even better. For all intents and purposes, it works! I want to give 5 stars, but gave 4 due to the reasons stated above. But it is very close to getting all 5! Keep up the good work!
Nice app that gives a quick indication (not to be confused with a detailed weather report!) of whether a site is likely flyable in a given day.
