Pros and cons of Snowtam app for iPhone and iPad

Snowtam app good for

Very helpful not only Snowtams but you get alt correction as well I foud it very good.

Its extremely useful. The producers are very quick with updates when they are issued. The one thing its missing to make it indispensable is a decoder for Japanese Snowtams. As an international pilot we go there often and this feature is truly missed. Other than that it would definitely rate 5 stars.

Some bad moments

It works but Id look for the same info combined into another app. Id say it was worth 99 cents.
