Description
Aviation weather for Apple Watch. Check METARs and TAFs right from your wrist!
Provides watch face complications to make the weather of your favorite or nearest airport available at a glance! We utilize our unique algorithms to prioritize the most relevant weather and make best use of the screen estate available to complications.
Use voice or scribble feature to search airports by name, city or identifier, view current weather (METAR) and forecast (TAF). Look up nearby airports using location services (permission needed). Use the app on iPhone to manage favorites and settings. The phone app also provides weather summary view for your favorite airports and allows to dive into METAR&TAF for each airport from the list.
U.S. airports only for now!
Displays raw and fully decoded METAR and TAF in an easy to digest format. Provides summary information in the airport list, displaying 1-3 lines of summary weather data in the list view. The algorithm prioritizes the data to to display the most important weather information even within a single line of text! The same algorithm powers complications to make sure the most important information is always displayed.

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.
