I'm John. I fly a 1979 Mooney around the Pacific Northwest, and Unicom is the app I kept expecting to find and couldn't. Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/ap... Aviation software on Android is thin. The good stuff assumes an iPad, and the alternatives cost more and trail their iOS versions. I'm not trying to replace any of it, I fly with ForeFlight and intend to keep doing that. Unicom is for the moment you need one fact fast: the CTAF before you switch frequencies (or to get into the bathroom and you left your tablet in the plane and of course it's the CTAF at an airport you've never been to before), the current observation before you go, one page of a chart supplement on a ramp with no coverage. The entire FAA airport database ships inside the app and updates on the 28-day cycle. No signal required, ever. Weather always shows its age. A decoded METAR that's forty minutes old says so right up front. It's free, no ads, with an optional tip. Unicom is a reference tool for situational awareness, not a substitute for official preflight planning, current charts, or NOTAMs. Pilots: what do you actually reach for your phone for during preflight or postflight, and what's still missing? I'm interested in building a simpler, easier, and faster tool than a full fledged EFB like Foreflight are Garmin Pilot, but yor feedback drives where the next version comes from.

Unicom

Every US airport, offline. Weather that shows its age.
