WeatherSpork Reviews

Title says it all. Go get a subscription. I first heard about this app from Max Trescott’s Aviation News Talk Podcast at AirVenture 2018 then met Scott and heard his talk at the Cirrus Owners and Operators Association Migration 16 in Las Vegas. It’s really good stuff. It’s WeatherSpork for the pilot that is both the wx expert and the pilot that just wants to be shown when is the best time to go. I really like that it graphically shows you across the entire route what you’ll expect. Easy decision making about altitudes for higher performance aircraft. Great app. I’m sure the new releases will make it even easier to use. Thanks, Scott!

I use many aviation weather websites and apps, but I have to say that this app is the most comprehensive and, in many ways, the easiest-to-use tool for this very important task. It brings together so many important weather products in a logically-organized manner, and features excellent meteogram and flight profile tools that really help visualize the weather you can expect during the course of a flight.

Yes, you have to sign up with AvWxWorkshops to use it. It’s well worth it to do so, even if it is only to use WeatherSpork.

Highly-recommended.

When it comes to weather every pilot knows having the right information could be the difference between a go no go decision or even possibly your life if you make the wrong call and find yourself unprepared. For anyone who isn’t a fan of decoding METARS, SIGMETS, AIRMETS, etc. and this Apple definitely Eden giving you multiple visual representations of the current weather as well as the weather along your route. I use WeatherSpork on a daily basis as part of my preflight brief to give me visual confirmation of the brief I get from 1800wxbrief.

WeatherSpork is simply amazing. Takes all of the information available regarding aviation weather, which is often times hard to understand, and puts in a simple easy to understand manner. As a pilot with more than 800 hours, weather understanding and simplification is something that I had struggled with throughout the years. WeatherSpork makes it easy to understand and helps tremendously plan your trip. Please do not think about twice and get it. You will be grateful that you did!

WeatherSpork has a profile view that covers forecasts or a route that is my go to app for planning and the whole reason i bought WeatherSpork . Shows cloud levels, freezing, winds etc in such an intuitive and powerful design that it’s cut down my planning process by at least half. No more sorting through metars and Tafs or clicking endlessly on foreflight, or needing to look through skewts

I’ve been flying for 12 years without WeatherSpork. That didn’t mean I don’t need it. I did the trial but didn’t really ‘try it out’. It’s not until I bought a year sub, then had some complex weather flying that I ‘tried it’ when it mattered. That’s when I fully appreciated the presentation of data.

This is the best WX app for pilots. It consolidates all of the information needed to help make a timely go/no-go decision. Additionally, there is included training videos and tutorials on WX decision making processes. Quite simply it is a one stop shop for aviation WX.

WeatherSpork is great. I use ForeFlight for flight planning but this is an extremely useful weather companion to help bring together all weather sources into a user friendly interface for determining best departure times and routes.

Very useful in providing information to help pick the best departure time and altitude to fly. Unique and easy to understand route weather views .

Nothing quite like it available, would never want to plan without it.

A very different and helpful profile view of weather systems that you might cross.

this app has become my favorite go to resource to prepare for a crosscountry flight.
Comprehensive, exhaustive and so easy to visualize.
Outstanding!

WeatherSpork is easily categorized “the BEST of the BEST”.

It is the WEATHER decision tool for the preparing pilot. It is not an ENTERTAINMENT APP nor is it a substitute for the commercial weather “forecast” services currently in distribution like weather.com

You use WeatherSpork for GO / NO GO flight decision making.

And yes to those critics who may not have read the description, WeatherSpork is based on the “pay for subscription” services of this app.com There is no “bait and switch” techniques at play as several critics commented. The costs are clearly noted in the description.

WeatherSpork is constantly under development. It is so intertwined with modern day weather sources, the development and sophistication will likely continue for great lengths of time. It seems each update either clears up a rudimentary display from older presentations and/or brings us even better informational views.

I’m a FAN. I used to have dozens of bookmarked sites all presenting various tidbits of information; this app brings nearly all of these into one place. One visit – one extensive self-brief. How could I not be a fan of that?

WeatherSpork is not free as it is depicted in WeatherSpork Store. It has an extremely expensive subscription. I don’t know much about WeatherSpork as I was unable to try it out however, the creator is one of the most knowledgeable weather meteorologists out there

WeatherSpork never opens on my iPhone. I phone is up to date but this app never goes past the initial Splash screen.

$79 per year was not clearly shown. It’s unfortunate they are charging so much.

Please disclose UPFRONT the very expensive subscription fees. It’s an ethical issue.

No demo, gotta throw up $79 to even open it.

Don't waist your time

NOT COOL! WeatherSpork description does not disclose that a very expensive subscription ($80-120/yr.) is required to use it.

AVOID AVOID AVOID!
