SkewTLogPro

This app is a really good tool for telling you what to expect with regard to current weather, and can help you improve your own forecasting. Using this app and learning enough to be able to understand all it has to offer ought to be part of being a pilot. It's really fun to look out the window at any time of day, estimate the height of the clouds I see, and then get on SkewTLogPro and use the graph to see how close I estimated. The graphs always match the ceilings given by the 3 airports near here. And the app's charts are a whole lot easier to read than NOAA Skew-T charts.

Once you spend time to learn how to use a ‘Skew-T’ chart, this app is quick and easy to use and could easily save your life. You can quickly see where the cloud layers will likely be, where you will probably run into to turbulence, and more importantly, where you will likely run into ice. Yes, you can get the data from other sources (NOAA, and where this app draws its information) but not as easily as this. Thank you for the great app that makes flying safer!

So, when all you “junior jet-jocks” are ready to graduate, and go along with the “big boys/girls”, you’ll need this app. It requires setting aside time for self study to use effectively; but that’s why you’re being paid “the big bucks.” In fact, if I was doing your employment interview, I’d incorporate some skew-T questions. “Get the picture?” 🤨🧐

This app is a great concept, but for a pilot it falls short on much of why I use a skew chart in the first place. Namely on the visualization of items such as convective inhibition, LFC, CAPE, EL, etc. I mean it is a chart, so you would expect to easily view these items graphically on the chart itself. Instead you only see the numerical value on the side of the chart. If this app were to simply add a line showing the adiabatic temperature values of a lifted parcel of air, it would deserve a 5-star rating.

A great app, when it works. Have been let down many times because the app depends on extraction of data from a gov website that seems to be frequently unavailable. Also wish the app remembered the last input locations when charting a route. It’s very frustrating to have to re-enter the info each time you want to check the route before a flight.
