Green means all is well.

- FAA programs and alerts at US airports, with their source
- The latest METAR, decoded, with the time it was taken
- The board's late and cancelled share, once it has loaded

Questions
About airports.
Which airports does Squawk cover?
Airports with scheduled service, worldwide. How much a page shows depends on its sources: the FAA covers US airports, and terminal maps, transit and lounges come from OpenStreetMap, whose detail varies from airport to airport. Where a source has nothing, the card says so or stays away.
What's free, and what's Plus?
The map, terminals and gates, the weather, local time, the lounges there, transit and contacts are free at every airport. Squawk Plus adds the live departures and arrivals boards, the on-time figures worked out from them, live disruptions (the FAA's programs and alerts, ground stops and closures) and the ride-app buttons. Squawk Pro adds which lounges you get into free, and day passes for the rest.
Can it tell me whether I can use a lounge?
With Squawk Pro, yes. Each lounge says free for you, pay or upgrade, not for you, or check with the lounge, with the reasons and the sources they come from, worked out from the cards, memberships and status in your wallet and the flight you're on. Lounge rules turn on fare, cabin and guest limits, so where it isn't sure it says to check.
Where do the figures come from?
Status from the FAA at US airports and from the departures board; weather from NOAA's Aviation Weather Center; terminals, gates, lounges and transit from OpenStreetMap; the map from Apple; boards from an aviation data provider. Every card names its source behind its i.
Why is there no terminal map for my airport?
The map draws the terminals and gates OpenStreetMap has mapped. Where nobody has mapped them yet, it shows the airport and a couple of kilometres around it instead.
