*** Current and precise weather conditions (METAR) and forecasts (TAF).

AeroWeather Pro provides quick and intuitive access to METAR and TAF for airports worldwide. Data can be shown in its original (raw) format or as fully decoded and easy understandable texts. AeroWeather Pro is helpful for weather preflight-briefings, but also to just get very precise weather. All weather data is cached for offline access. There are many settings for units and format of METAR/TAF available.

In addition to weather data, AeroWeather Pro integrates also airport NOTAMs (provided by US FAA), webcam images around airports (provided by webcams.travel), and US ATC delay information (provided by US FAA).

The app features a built-in airport database, which includes basic airport data like runways, sunrise/sunset, twilight times, timezones etc.

AeroWeather Pro offers built-in groups for earthquakes, ATC delays (US only), nearby stations, today widget, and Apple Watch which can be individually enabled on the top level view. Besides creating user groups it’s also possible to put stations on the same level user groups. Depending on your needs, groups can be shown or hidden in the main list view. User groups can now be synchronized via Cloud Kit*.

METAR alert notifications** is another new and helpful feature to stay up-to-date. Define multiple alerts for each station with the following criteria: flight rule (US NOAA), wind speed, temperature, pressure, present weather, visibility, and ceiling (BKN and OVC). Notifications will be sent to your device if the criteria is met (e.g., when wind is greater/equal 10 kts, flight rule becomes IFR).

Dedicated METAR/TAF** access is optionally available. METAR/TAF data comes primarily from certified ANSP (air navigation service provider) MeteoSwiss and is provided reliably and fast from our dedicated, redundant servers (indicated by blue checkmark underneath METAR/TAF).

The AeroPix feature offers users the possibility to take quickly picture(s) of the weather at their current location. The pictures will be available to all other pilots (on the map or within an airport detail view) helping them to get a better idea about local conditions. AeroPix should be especially helpful when there's no or insufficient webcam coverage.

AeroWeather Pro comes with an Apple Watch app, which shows either a list of stations as defined in the Apple Watch group or all nearby stations based on the current location. METAR, TAF, and webcam images (if available and enabled in the Watch App settings on the iPhone) are displayed for each station. In addition, you can put AeroWeather as a complication in your watch face to stay up-to-date.

There's also an iMessage app included which lets you easily send METAR/TAF of any airport to other users.

Please consult our web-site for a full description of all features.

Great App

It really work! perfect & thanks ???


Excellent App
mccdeuce

I have been using the app for many years. I am a professional pilot and have other weather sources. If I need details I can dive into ForeFlight or another large app. But sometimes you just want/need a quick look at the METARs and TAFs. That’s where this product shines.


Great Customer Support
bweeks226

I’ve used the app for years, first the free version and then bought the pro. Great quick view of airports and conditions. One day I noticed my home airport had disappeared from my list and nearby airports list. I figured this was going to be the tell-tale for how customer support would be. I sent the problem symptoms through the support menu in the app. I heard back from Pascal within a day with the fix and all was good. It was an easy fix with settings->General->reset database. Appreciated hearing from the developers on an app I’ve come to rely on quite a bit. Great team.


Not updating Apple Watch
GreatVentures

Purchased Pro version to have Apple Watch support but Watch rarely updates leaving only old data showing. Very disappointing.


Apple Watch complication barely works
Dave314159

As another reviewer said, the Apple Watch complication is so slow to update it's barely usable. Even after tapping update within the watch app, the watch face still shows outdated data.


What happened to density altitude?

On my free version I had density altitude. I upgraded and now there is no DA. What am I missing?


Not so good

Metar history doesn’t work on this update


Disappointed Pro Subscriber
Fender1878

I purchased this app after seeing it recommended online. I wanted to build a dedicated Apple Watch face for flying. Having the METAR on my wrist was an awesome selling point. I’ve now been using the complication and realize how buggy it is. The complication NEVER updates on its own. It takes HOURS for the actual airport data to update on the Watch (not the complication, the actual app data). I have to constantly go into the Watch app, refresh the airport data (which loads the current info) and then re-set the airport as a complication (which loads the new data on the watch face). What a mess!! I’ve seen others have had Watch issues for years and the developer has ignored them. I don’t need a METAR app — most of us have ForeFlight for that. I needed a METAR Watch app and I’m super disappointed I spent ~$6 on it.


A Meteorologists Friend
wxman291

Great app for meteorologists to monitor metars, especially after making the latest Terminal Aerodrome Forecast (TAF) for the site. Developer is very responsive to inquires. Only suggestion would be to increase metar history to 24 hours. Thank you. NWS met from Wisconsin.

Thank you for adding the discussion! Became a subscriber as soon as I saw that. No more trying to read tiny ADDS print on my iPhone!
