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 free aviation weather app designed by pilots for pilots, primarily distinguished by its exceptional speed in delivering comprehensive weather briefings (METARs, TAFs, Winds Aloft, radar, etc.) in under three seconds.
- The app presents extensive aviation data in an easy-to-read, decoded format, including interpolated winds along a pilot's route, and continuously adds features like the upcoming "0 AGL" to locate amenities near airports.
- Available on web, iOS, and Android, NavMonster remains entirely free, supported by non-intrusive ads, aiming to provide pilots with quick and accessible "big picture" weather knowledge without barriers.
