Overall good app But with the new version the North American radar forecast which I loved and came in really handy in previous versions doesn t load 90 of the time Fix this and it will be a great app again             North American forecast hardly ever works Flykess

I just updated this app on my iPad Air2 with iOS 9 1 Now the app won t even open     Update won t open Flyin_hooch

Like others say great when it works Loses GPS feature and only way to fix it it to delete and reinstall which kills all the favorites App needs to sync favorites between devices which would at least allow a way to get them back easily Fix it already         2of 5 stars about the percentage of time it works TeeDub

This the most unstable app I ve ever used I reboot my iPad 4 to try and get it to open I have charts marked for favorites to view offline I then go to view and no charts I put a route in then get briefing with 4G or faster connection and it takes very long time to get briefing then I try and view chart that I just waited for to download and it is blank No chart Lucky my employer pays for service I would never pay for this unstable service     Good when it works CFIfred

Pretty useful app WHEN IT WORKS 50 of the time the app will not open I then have to delete and redownload the app along with the Nav data bases and all of my Favorites Very frustrating         Frustrating Rtd1492

Good charts and weather info including airport and enroute NOTAMS but program frequently locks up while in off line mode after a few hours Only way to resolve it is to delete program and download again All favorite charts and settings are lost but saved routes remain after new download         Good charts and info but 123456RRRRRRR

App will not open thanks a lot WSI It s been 4 5 days now     Crashes will not launch GRClark

I downloaded the October 1 2014 update and find I cannot open the app All I get is the initial blue screen introducing WSI and this page freezes and won t continue into program Terrible update     Won t open Crashes 777 tired from NRT to ...

Just downloaded and tried to open It asked for a login which of course I did not have since this was the first time to use BUT there is no way to open a new account What is this a new Catch 22     Waste of time FUBIJAR53

Biggest issue I have is the buttons for selecting radar sigs and alike They are 2 small and need clear indications if they are on or off Not the slight gray shift that happens now What held me back from 4 stars is the app does lock up on me from time to time Sometimes requiring a reboot of iPad I really really like being able to see retreat before calling clearance so I have an idea what is coming             Almost 4 starts GameDemocom

Probably the best app for commercial airlines Our airline preaches common situational awareness and everything I see on Optima is included in my release SATRAD is very accurate Also glad our airline got the WSI FPG s a lot more accurate than the govt stuff                     Airline Capt DFW Rich Murry

Much more stable than previous versions Forecast radar is great I have the flight planning version which alerts me by text when weather forecast takes turn for the worse Radar images are superb                 Improvement Edj4wx

If I could give this app less than zero stars I would Crashes will not save to off line mode Then it will not log back into online mode without going to pref page and turning it back on What a waste of time     What a POS List Mom

Only works well while your on line Great if your not flying Not very intuitive for set up and no real support on line It doesn t keep the weather charts saved while even after you save the routes The WX systems just magically vanish Most guys I ve flown with just simply stop using it     Needs some work Filtros

Works when you first download it After that the app behaves as if you are offline when I clearly am not Unusable     Worked once FrankM77

This app could be great but it freezes often and fails to store the data for in flight use as it is supposed to do Just deleted it     Such great promise sbmonty

This is a poorly designed and poorly maintained app I am embarrassed that I talked my boss into spending 100 every month just so I can use this app This app is very unstable The radar only works half the time and even then you have to zoom out for it to show weather It constantly tells you that Location Service is deactivated Don t waste your time or money upgrading to Optima     Horrible app Tbbeasley

When in off line mode app repeatedly crashes when reopened Makes it useless trying to take your weather with you in the cockpit Needs updating ASAP     Crashes in airplane mode fatespawn

Like the radar but miss the maps that earlier version had         Miss the maps AQZR3

15 minutes of playing with this found it to be very buggy and slow The website version is much better Earning it an additional star was the quality of the weather products and selection of them App is not ready for prime time but has potential This is certainly the future of pilot meteorological information         not yet ready ck112312

On a recent trip it was unusable offline Online it worked fine I was able to download all the weather maps that I needed and it all looked fine Then when I tried to use it in the plane zippo Freeze crash Rinse and repeat Tried the double click close thing several times nothing Totally useless But then the next day after downloading new weather it worked just fine Surprising that this can t be easily fixed             Agreed still very buggy Robodoggie

The App is useful and a great tool when it works Typically I can count on at least 1 or 2 crashes as well as failing to save favorite charts or station data for offline use Tip Quit the App double click home button press and hold app icon at bottom of screen press on x to quit The re launch and try again Usually take a few to several of these to get all the data to refresh and save for offline Especially true when you have a slow connection as we do in Shanghai hotels and in our throttled operations in the states Before you fly disconnect from wifi and see if it really did save your data This only occurred once yesterday on my way to Shanghai but that was enough             Useful but still buggy Needz werk

Loaded on to my IPad but could not register to open an account     Can t register Nug4

No option to create an account Can t log in     Bc Bc:

I had to MEL the app It s frozen on the login screen     Inop Barfly

It a good help for the crew                 R Al3wi-ksa

Seems as if you took the intellicast app and modified it Not impressed with the user interface I suggested taking a look at Foreflights user interface which is the best out there the only advantage you have is worldwide airmets and Sigmets                     A long way to go BlueFly99

The people who make this app should probably provide someone who gets it a way to log in I was greeted with a please sign in screen upon opening Obviously I am a new user so no sign in info and this app provides no way to set it up The result is I cannot use this app it is totally worthless     Problem 737up

Just updated the app and I like what I see what WSI does best weather and info for pilots I like this update and it something that should be expected by the powerhouse in weather service provider Keep up the good work and I look forward to future updates on what should be a solid requirement by pilots                     Improvement Cl604

Barely usable Not intuitive Needs landscape view     Crummy App Moresushi

Needs landscape view I also think it ironic that the first iPad screen shot is an international flight and the route is just point to point This app needs exact routing internationally the choices that come up are laughable at best I would also like to see turbulence coded by color they are all green now         Needs help PurduePilot

Doesn t stay open long enough to be of any use Trying to tap on a weather station in map view is challenging You have to on one multiple times before the info will pop up Needs major work     Useless 172Capt

The last version was better Snap to GPS is not working and says location services is off when it is on Still waiting on landscape             Snap to GPS not working on v1 2 Mach.80

Good but not great REALLY NEEDS landscape view Hopefully more of the full web capability will migrate to the iPad app as Silverlight workarounds are created Ability to save map and brief for off line viewing other than screen capture would be fantastic             Need Landscape UAL320

For this app to really shine it needs all of the capabilities of the web version of Optima             A good start but Cadetdrivr

The app works ok but could really benefit from a landscape view         WSI Bigfrostyglass

This app is simple to use but powerful enough to be used by FAR121 air carriers The app pulls the most recent FAA cleared routings which is a nice feature when weather is a factor I trust this app US Airline Pilot                     Great and easy j3cubcapt

This app continually crashes No offline viewing of weather The map overlays are anemic with no useful information other than radar and cloud cover Many free apps offer much much better features Hardly worth installing even if it were free     Underwhelming Hos167

App continually closes two seconds after initialization Not up to par     Opening Issues Jetdvr

I love the briefing section Great way to organize weather and notams for my flights But why can t I take it with me Without an active wifi connection which is illegal in flight for part 121 there is no way to review the weather and notams The program won t even open I still have to print out reams of paper for every destination and alternate Please fix this app so I can take my preflight briefing with me             Great preflight worthless in flight Casual1

The app has a lot of potential but the first time I used it it kept freezing up and now it keeps crashing and is not usable I m on a free trial but the bugs need to be worked out for it to be useful I could not get to all the features but it seems expensive for what I have seen so far         Potential Flaflyer1
