Foreflight not updating METARS , Lightning or NOTAMs

[kurtfly]

I recently submitted a bug report to ForeFlight because it does not update the METARS, Lightning or NOTAMs once I am in flight. Starts off ok but once i get a couple hundred miles away from starting point i notice METARS are unavailable. All these products are displayed perfectly on the Skyview display, just not on Foreflight. When I was in-route to Sun n Fun i was looking at the weather about 100 miles ahead when entering the Tampa area and noticed the airports had a "Green" dots indicating VFR (Flight Category) but when i check the METAR it say's not reporting "METARs". I would suspect the "Flight Category" is obtained from the METAR? I talked to Foreflight about this at SnF and they told me how to log info and upload for them to evaluate. Had the same problem on both legs back home to Texas. I have since sent them a couple log files and screen shots. This has been turned over to their engineering department. They say they have no timeframe for the fix.

If you are like me, and use Foreflight for look ahead weather take caution.
