- METARs, TAFs, ATIS, NOTAMs, Weather Radar and more - Stay up to date with Widgets and Apple Watch complications - Decoded weather reports for faster and better briefings - Live TAF breaks down forecast assessment to a matter of seconds Forget raw weather reports. When you go flying with StationWeather, you will speed up your weather briefing to a few seconds, while getting an even better understanding of current and forecast situations than you ever could with raw reports. By completely decoding METAR and TAF reports, StationWeather is able to present the data in an intuitive way that you will get with no other weather app. Analyze a complete METAR report at a glance. Then head over to Live TAF and instantly see the complete weather report valid at any given time - presented to you on a beautiful and unique user interface. We know NOTAMs can be time consuming to read, so they’re sorted, filtered, and color coded by their relevance from the start. And because filters are fully customizable, you can tailor NOTAMs just for your specific operation. StationWeather now also supports live D-ATIS reports for participating airports (currently around 80 US airports). Worldwide live weather radar coverage in addition to an extensive set of more than 700 weather charts from all ICAO regions will make sure you know your weather before you go. By getting access to over 40,000 stations, you will find the one you're looking for. And if a station does not publish its own weather, you can connect it with a nearby station to display those reports instead. Terms of Use: https://stationweather.com/terms-of-use-app

I first came across this app several years ago when it was really bad (e.g. long outdated runway numbers, runway recommendations with tailwind, etc.), but this app has evolved quite a bit. It provides a METAR complication to the Apple Watch that is faster and much more configurable than Foreflight’s extremely limited and buggy Watch app - kudos!The iOS app is also very good, although there Foreflight typically covers everything as well.One wish for the complication: Please include raw METAR as an option.Thx!

Hi there, Thanks for your kind review and your suggestions! Sadly the whole raw METAR doesn't fit on a watch complication, which is why the data is reduced to the most relevant items or your personal preferences (such as wind, temperature etc.). All Best, Oliver

Too many features require payment

Good things: there are no ads, and the user interface is aesthetically pleasing, more so than the competitor app AeroWeather Pro. Unfortunately, I feel this app tries way too hard to nudge me into subscribing. The very first time I downloaded the app I was immediately shoved a modal dialog to accept a free trial, and when I dismissed this dialog, a different subscription with a free trial was offered. Then all throughout the user interface there are places where you can be swept into the subscription signup flow. Below your list of airports, in the settings, when you tap on certain icons on a map. At least let me look thru the app in peace the first time I open it, and maybe down the road I’d be glad to check out the pro features.And of course they make you pay to use ANY widget functionality at all. I would consider paying for this app but I’d like to just buy it and not have to keep opening my wallet up every so often. Guess you can’t do that! What’s to prevent the price from sneakily being raised before my next renewal date, like the scams run by so many newspapers these days?

Excellent app until recent update

This app is phenomenal and I use it frequently to check the latest METARs. However with the latest update I find outdated METARs/TAFs from hours ago and have to restart the app to refresh them. Even the pulldown function does nothing. Hoping to making the dev aware of this issue**Update: Dev has been working hard to fix the issue! Hope this will resolve anyone else who might be experiencing this

That way it’s easier to discuss some more details of when the issue might occur and it helps me fix it faster :)All best, Oliver EDIT: Thank you for helping me out in finding the issue! Glad to know all is working as expected for you again.

Absolutely best aviation weather app

This app provides quick and easy weather, notams, and weather maps. Hands down the best app out there for interpreting aviation weather. Having this tool in the aviation industry is a must and is now my go to weather app. As an airline pilot this app ROCKS over any other app I have used. Thank you also for the great subscription cost. For that cost I am here to stay!
