Clen and simple. Perfect for what I need.

Cool app

Great

The app is not send notifications at all, my phone is MEIZU E3 NOTE. Now when I change the battery settings regarding the app, everything working like a charm.

Love it

Would be 6 stars if data was refreshed on opening app.

I like the design and the app functions well. My wishlist for future versions would be; - Options for manual sorting of airports and sorting by station name instead of ICAO code - Choice between ICAO or IATA codes - Option for ICAO classification (IMC/VMC instead of FAA MVFR/VFR/IFR)
