TRUSTED BY PILOTS. DEVELOPED BY PILOTS.
Takeoff was developed by pilots like you, who understand what information you need to fly safely. Other pilots agree:
"I love the presentation of information on the screen. The colors are great and the interpretations are pretty much idiot proof." -Adam Zucker, Pilot
"First thing I thought was WOW! I love how quick it is to get the information quickly into my brain. Love the maps and other weather graphics. Love the TAF decoder." -Andrew Ohnstad, Pilot
Takeoff relies on NOAA METAR and TAF reports. Airports must report METAR/TAF information in order for Takeoff to provide reports. Takeoff is not a substitute for official flight planning and weather information, and by using Takeoff, you agree not to hold the developers liable for any inaccuracies or misrepresentations.
Latest reviews of Takeoff - Aviation Weather app for iPhone and iPad
A great app. It works perfectly. A great addition to my flying applications.
The services this app provides and the intuitive interface are well worth the current price tag. This app seamlessly mixes raw and interpreted METAR and TAF data to best present users with the information require.
Great app that provides current METAR and TAF data. The layout is nice and easy to understand, the complete aviation weather presentation, as well as added features make this app an excellent addition to any pilot and even weather enthusiasts. Radar views, map views (Id like to see this improved to show airports with radar overlay), PIREPs, NOTAMs, and more. Just great! I hope they continue to improve it and dont get carried away with unnecessary changes/features. Well worth the price.
Trying to d/l the update. It will not let me but is stuck at the user agreement. The old version is good though :)
Best app i have seen to view my favorite airport weather. Shows you everything color coded and really quick to understand. Has a ton of features like NOTAMs, winds aloft and last few hours of METARs. The TAF breakdown by time and color is just awesome. Very impressive app and I will recommend it to all my students.
