What’s New
Version 3.0
Completely rewritten from scratch utilizing the most recent frameworks. If you are upgrading from the older version, you may need to re-add your complications to watch faces, but all other settings will be preserved.
Now supporting all complication types and SmartStack widgets on Apple Watch! You can also add multiple complications on one watch face for different airports.
Additionally, widgets are now supported on iPhone, iPad, and M-series Macs. Both Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets are supported.
Furthermore, we are introducing the TAF Preview strip for at-a-glance forecast for the next 12 hours!
Other notable changes include a Fahrehneiht/Celsius toggle and a UTC/Local Time toggle in the app settings.
Ratings and Reviews
Good App! One problem
I as well frequently still have been having the same problem as setting a favorite airport on my Apple Watch. I have been using this app for the past 2 months, and It continues to say “No Station Set” no matter how many times I refresh it at times. I frequently fly and this is a key and easy tool for preparing for my flights. I love this app and would love to continue to use it but this one feature is problematic.
Best so far!
Aside from being free, I find this app to be the best METAR/TAF for the Apple Watch. Not sure if it’s only for the series 4, since that’s how it displays in the settings, but that’s what I own. It updates regularly and that’s a plus. The other app I have with an Apple Watch complication falls behind on updating. I like the simplicity and quick ability to check Wx, even when at work. I’m unsure why some reviews are critical. The only issue I’ve had is when starting the watch up for the day it will say station not set. One Tap and it works the rest of the day no problem. For my uses, I’m not concerned about the US-only data.
An App Other Pilots Will Be Jealous Of
The watch complication function in this App amazing. At a glance the color coded conditions give you an instant indication of weather, and a single click will pull up the full Metar and TAFs.
I congratulate the developer on filling a void left by Foreflight. This is how major developers get started and I wish the development team the best.
Also, the response time is very fast from the developer. This App should be priced higher as it brings out the full potential of my iWatch for aviation.
