### 3/5 — ISA Deviation

*2026-06-25, version 3.15.3*

Why is ISA deviation not in Celsius? This seems useless or at best inconvenient because you would have to convert it to Celsius to derive DA. Is there some other aviation use for ISA deviation than calculating DA that I don’t know about?

### 4/5 — Ads Issue

*2025-12-25, version 3.14.1*

Have you this for years with my frequently used airfields stored.
Recommended.
However, the ad banner yesterday had a version of an obscene four-letter word beginning in F. My 4-year old granddaughter was playing with my phone. I sent a screenshot to the Developer.

### 4/5 — TAF pas à jour

*2025-09-04*

Bonjour. Un petit problème récent, qui espérons le sera vite résolu : pour de nombreux pays, dont la France, les TAF ne sont pas à jour.

### 2/5 — useless updates and widget no longer works

*2025-09-04, version 3.12.2*

Fantastic app for widget but it no longer works. Unfortunately keep releasing useless updates to it but nothing changes. Bummer used to be a great lil app.

### 2/5 — AfD Werbung in der App

*2025-07-31*

Das geht garnicht. Wird sofort gelöscht

### 4/5 — Inconsistência no widget

*2025-06-01*

O widget não segue o padrao selecionado, o aeroporto mais próximo (conforme personalização) nem sempre fica ajustado corretamente, mostrando aeroportos que nada têm a ver com a minha localização. Sugiro um ajuste no app mais direto e facilitado.

### 3/5 — Dark mode is terrible

*2024-09-26, version 3.8.3*

Certain stations stilll show up bright, not dimmed. Not sure what the reasoning is. Hopefully fixed in a future update.

### 4/5 — Metar/TAF widget often not loaded

*2024-06-20, version 3.8*

Great app but the metar/TAF widget on iPhone’s opening screen is often not loading.

### 4/5 — It has become part of my regular work toolkit.

*2024-05-14, version 3.7.11*

I have paid for the basic subscription option for this app and it gives me what I need. I like the METAR history as I can use that to follow weather trends as I approach my destination.

The other helpful feature is the ability to highlight keywords in TAFs and METARs. I have setup extensive highlights which makes it possible to have important info catch my eye if it appears. This is especially helpful when viewing the METAR history.

The only thing missing is auto-refresh which I believe comes with the more expensive subscription. I can handle a manual refresh every 30 mins!

### 3/5 — Change wind direction symbol.

*2024-03-06, version 3.7.9*

The red triangle depicting the wind direction is opposite from what pilots traditionally have seen : the narrow pointy end should face the direction from which the wind is blowing , ie pointy end down if the wind is from 180 degrees. This convention does back to the days when airports had a large, rotatable triangle that was in the middle of the airport and pointed into the wind. Pilots flying into fields with no tower could see the direction in which to land.  Other weather apps correctly use the wind icon.

### 3/5 — Seulement LFPG en Widgets ?

*2024-01-18*

Je ne parviens pas à échanger Paris de mon Widgets pour un autre aéroport. Après plusieurs recherches sur internet, mon problème n’est toujours pas résolu. 

Apparemment il pleut à Paris aujourd’hui. vous saurez.

### 3/5 — Terrible customer service. Widget doesn’t work

*2023-12-25, version 3.7.7*

The app gets the job done with some good weather information. However, purchasing it is completely useless. The widget will just default to. Kjfk. and you cannot change it. I don’t live anywhere near there so it’s pointless to me. I have attempted to contact customer service to see if I can fix this and they never respond. I would just keep the free version.

### 3/5 — Aerowx

*2023-12-14, version 3.7.6*

Add back the current temperature on the main page.  Put it in C/F.     Why remove it ?

### 2/5 — Getting worse

*2023-11-11, version 3.7.5*

App was great now it’s getting to be a bit much.  Really miss the copy metar function for crosswind calculation.

### 2/5 — Виджет не работает!

*2023-05-25*

Включается только на некоторое время. Зачем приложение испортили? :(

### 3/5 — Ne FCT plus sous IOS 13

*2023-05-03*

Très bonne appli, 
mais Après la mise à jour, ne fonctionne plus du tout sur IPhone XS sous IOS13 !

Cela fonctionnait très bien avant, merci l obsolescence programmé, matériel, et logiciel, iOS et applis et l impossibilité de revenir en arrière.

Vaudrait mieux laissez une version ancienne pour les ancien IOS, ( même sans suivi) et faire une autre version pour les IOS plus récent.

A chaque fois que l on monte en IOS on perd en performance, mais sinon on perd des applis.
Jusque au moment où on arrête, pas les moyens de suivre cette mascarade.

### 2/5 — Breaks every time release a useless update

*2023-03-25, version 3.6.5*

Fantastic app for widget. Unfortunately keep releasing useless updates to it that break it every time…

### 1/5 — Porn as banners?!

*2026-01-31, version 3.14.3*

What’s up with the porn ads in the ad banner? I respect ads in free apps - but really?!

### 1/5 — Nobody outside of USA uses “Gulf of America”

*2025-10-16, version 3.13.1*

Please fix your map to show the correct “Gulf of Mexico” for people who live outside of the USA.

### 1/5 — Metar & TAF not showing

*2024-04-18, version 3.7.11*

It used to be a very simple but convenient tool to check the weather until I updated it yesterday. Nothing shows up now, no METAR,  sometimes TAF, what’s going on?

### 1/5 — Modern “marketing” strikes again

*2024-04-17, version 3.7.11*

What ever happened to paying $10 for an app and having it forever or until a new version came out? Just because your community college marketing textbook says you can charge subscriptions for anything, does not mean that’s moral or good.

### 1/5 — А смысл его ставить

*2023-01-18*

Погода обновляется плохо.TAF попадается старый.Есть сервисы которые намного лучше справляются с этим делом.

### 1/5 — Useless in Australia

*2022-10-22, version 3.5.4*

Most other apps have access to AU airports - shame this one doesn’t and the few it does the refresh rate is in acceptable. Who would fly with weather 3hrs old…

### 1/5 — No customer service

*2022-08-24, version 3.5*

Been trying to get in touch regarding my subscription but they are simply ignoring my emails.

### 1/5 — Deleted. Not subscribing.

*2022-07-22, version 3.4.8*

I’ll buy but I don’t rent apps. Subscription just to get the widget? I.e. the only useful feature? Get lost. 

Nobody who doesn’t know how to read METAR needs this app. You just made it easier and now you shot yourselves in the foot. Seriously. 

Whatever. Bye Felicia.

### 1/5 — No weather reports

*2021-05-04, version 3.1.5*

Updated last night and now I can’t load any airports. Search function, map function, nothing.

### 1/5 — 3.1.5 broken

*2021-05-03, version 3.1.5*

Update to 3.1.5 deleted all saved airports. Can’t add any airports. Worked great before, now useless

*2025-12-17, version 3.14.1*

Nice touch on today’s software update…a picture of Christmas tree wishing AeroWeather users a Merry Christmas. It became personal with me :)

### 5/5 — Perfect application

*2025-08-26, version 3.12.1*

Good

*2025-04-08*

Simplesmente o melhor app gratuito de consulta de METAR que existe! Liderança tranquila há anos!

### 5/5 — I did pay for it..

*2025-03-27*

Subscription is already but I’m all set. Sorry about that. I love this app so much. It’s awesome!! ✈️❤️

### 5/5 — Great App For Getting METAR, TAF, Etc

*2023-06-12, version 3.6.8*

I’ve used this app for years, first as a ramp control Manager and ATC liaison for a major carrier at our largest hub, and now retiree who likes to travel and be prepared. Easy to search and read the weather products and support is good although I rarely have to use it. Highly recommend.

### 5/5 — Easy, intuitive, at a glance UI. Great support.

*2023-04-05, version 3.6.5*

I love how easy it is to get a quick picture of the weather at your favourite airports. If you see something of interest you can click for more.

The UI is very pleasing and user friendly

I reported a bug and got a very quick and helpful response from the developer with a solution.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

### 5/5 — My go to before every flight

*2023-03-05, version 3.6.4*

Have been using for years and love it. Simple easy to use, with only one click to get all the data for your local or destination airport.  IWatch version is great for a quick glance as well.

### 5/5 — They upgraded widget and app with wind gusts just for me

*2023-02-17, version 3.6.2*

They upgraded the meteogram widget and app with wind gust numbers and graph just for me… I live in the woods in Northwest Washington USA with tree issues when the wind blows… They’re helping to keep me safe with this feature. 
I’ve noticed consistent app maintenance about every  3 months it seems… It’s nice to see a maintained app that  loads consistently in my poor reception topography. Every time I’ve emailed comments… I’ve received replies within one to two days… I think that’s very impressive☃️

### 5/5 — É o que tem de ser.

*2023-01-27*

Não é necessário nada mais. Excelente! Exatamente tudo o que o usuário da aviação necessita. gus7aviator.
