Windsock for Android is an app that automatically downloads and notifies users of new airport weather. You can customize Windsock to download new METAR or TAF information for your favorite airports, and optionally notify you after doing so.
Whether you're a professional pilot or weekend warrior, you can use Windsock to get the latest METAR observation and TAF forecast for your favorite airports. Use it to plan your commute! Use it to let you know when there's clear skies in the forecast for the weekend!
<b>The Pro version allows for notification filters by conditions and precipitation, sounds and vibration on updates, disabled ads, choosing which days/hours to update weather, and more.</b>
