A few years ago while hosting one of my #Oshbash social media meetup events at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh, a couple of guys introduced themselves and gave me a handful of key FOBs that had the name of their aviation weather app on them…NavMonster. As there are seemingly thousands of weather apps out there (and I have tried many of them), I did not get too excited—seen one, seen them all, or so I thought.
NavMonster: The Best WX App Not on Your Phone—Yet
Key Takeaways:
- NavMonster is a highly efficient aviation weather app renowned for delivering comprehensive weather briefings (METARs, TAFs, winds aloft, TFRs, radar) in under three seconds.
- Designed by pilots, the app offers a stripped-down, intuitive interface that presents complex data in easy-to-read, decoded formats, facilitating quick flight planning.
- The service is completely free across its website and mobile apps (iOS/Android) and continuously adds valuable features, such as interpolated winds aloft and an upcoming "0 AGL" feature for airport ground services.
