Description
The charts have the purpose to merely supply you with large scale, longer term info. To assess local conditions you will have to consult other sources, like Meteo Parapente, Paraglidable or Windy.
To be able to download the charts even in marginal internet connectivity conditions, the charts are supplied as low-resolution images, minimizing the file size.
Higher resolution images and zooming capability would suggest a reliability of the model outputs at a smaller scale. This has been discouraged by the meteorologists involved.
The app is light, fast and very easy to use. Morever it is free and without ads!

5 ★ Very good! Please make the charts resizable! 👍
5 ★ Working flawlessly again. I love it.
2 ★ Is it possible to add middle east region?
5 ★ My use of this excellent app is for amateur radio and spotting potential high pressure areas for tropospheric refraction. The choice of current and forecast charts is superb. Thanks !!
5 ★ Thank you !
5 ★ I really found what I wanted. Thank you! 😊
5 ★ Great.
5 ★ I am not a paraglider but have been looking for an app with surface pressure charts. This is ideal. I like your simple clear presentation. Thankyou.
4 ★ Good effort, and could be very useful, but it frequently crashes (with, "Unfortunately, Surface Pressure Maps has stopped") on my device. I also think the beep when the buttons are pressed is unnecessary (ie, to me, a bit annoying). It would be good to have a single button to move forward and backwards through the maps, rather than (or maybe, as well as) having the existing buttons. There is a delay between displaying maps - it would be a good idea to preload the maps, if this isn't done already.
5 ★ Perfect tool for a professional paraglider. My Team thanks to you!
5 ★ Hey dude. I apologise for my accidental review. I downloaded several apps including this paragliding simulator. That app was very bad and after I uninstalled it I went back to the play store to write a review. I accidentally wrote the review on this app instead. I think the app icon must have looked similar. This is quite embarrassing 😅 Thanks for replying to my review otherwise I would have never known I made this mistake. Anyway, your app is good. Keep up the good work.
1 ★ Crashed within 30 seconds first time i used it. I uninstalled it
4 ★ Pilots in North America should look for the version of the app specific to that area.
5 ★ Could you please open up North American app, or add to this app
