AeroPointer shows airports, navaids and aviation weather on a 3D globe, with FAA charts at every US airport. It runs on iPhone and iPad and is free, with no account and no ads.
Version 4.0 is a rebuild of the app we have shipped since 2014, with official FAA airport and navaid data.
AIRMETs and SIGMETs used to be an in-app purchase. Starting with 4.0, they're included free.
