100 WORDS

Threshold is the two-second go/no-go for UK and EU general-aviation pilots, on iOS. Built by a PPL holder who got tired of bouncing between five tabs at 06:00, the app reads METAR and TAF for the nearest airfield, checks every metric against personal minima set calmly on the ground, and surfaces a verdict (GO, HOLD, NO) on the Lock Screen, Home Screen, and in a Live Activity. Threshold doesn't decide. The pilot decides, once, and the app enforces. 7-day free trial, then £6.99/month or £49/year. Available now on the App Store.

200 WORDS

Threshold is the two-second go/no-go for UK and EU general-aviation pilots, on iOS. Built by a private pilot, the app exists because aviation weather tools were designed for desks; pilots actually decide whether to fly while making coffee at 06:00, in airfield car parks, or during a two-hour hold. Threshold reads METAR and TAF for the nearest licensed airfield, checks each metric against the pilot's personal minima (set once, calmly, on the ground), and surfaces a single verdict on the Lock Screen, Home Screen, and in a Live Activity. A drift detector watches for limit-relaxations made during HOLD or NO states and surfaces them quietly in Settings. Threshold Pro unlocks unlimited airfields, the Lock Screen widget, Live Activity, push notifications on verdict flips, runway-specific crosswind, and a 12-hour TAF trend timeline. 7-day free trial, then £6.99/month or £49/year. Sources: aviationweather.gov, EUROCONTROL B2B. No accounts. No analytics. Personal minima stored on-device. Available now on the App Store in the UK and EU.
