Hi all! This was a side project I worked on over the last few months while learning to fly in South Dakota. I learned a lot about working with Widgets and SwiftUI, and I hope to do a writeup on those soon. Feel free to ask me anything, and if you're a pilot I hope you take it for a spin!
Congrats on the new PPL!
I love the app so far - but it would be amazing if the widget was location aware and could grab the METAR for the nearest reporting airport (that might be some work, but doable)
Thanks again and put all that App Store proceeds to good taildragger time! ;)
Not including age of information / timestamp seems risky
Just to be a pain... as an instrument-rated pilot could the widget have the cloud heights on it visually? Maybe the top of the widget is 5,000 feet or something.
Looks cool! As a non-pilot, I would be really interested in learning what this does.
Nice! Bought it. Cool!
Very cool! Everything looks great. The first widget I'm actually going to use.
When iOS 14 came out, I was disappointed when ForeFlight didn't have something like this ready.
Riffing on ideas:
It'd be cool if the wind direction in the smart view was relative to your phone's orientation. I'm also imagining a little rendering of a runway and a windsock. TAFs would be a cool and challenging next step? A widget that'd some how give an idea of the latest surface analysis?
