It's very, very cool to be able to see "live" weather radar on your cell
phone. A radar picture is truly worth a thousand words when you're trying
to skirt a front -- and for less than ten bucks a month!


How well does it work in flight conditions?

My phone rarely gets a signal at 5000-8000 MSL that I usually fly.
So,this will be useful when I'm on the ground, but doubt this is
useful for 'live' cockpit weather. But at $9.95/month, I'll try.
Especially with the summer thunderstorm season approaching.
