## What is METAR AF?

We've gathered together a group of the most mid-level pilots and programmers to bring you the weather! This app solves boredom while checking the weather at your local airport before you go out and bust your local Bravo.

This app will (not) make you better at understanding the weather at your local airport. Using the power of pixies, wizards, and internet connected weather stations, we are able to bring you weather from just about every ICAO registered airport. Much like 90% of the internet, THE DATA IS REAL, but the advice is not.

## Key features

- Covers ICAO registered airports
- Humorous, direct commentary
- Pilot-focused weather information

## Pricing and in-app purchases

### 4/5 — Basic App But Function

*2024-10-11*

The global environmental data in this app is very valuable to me as a weather aficionado and I and able to use it for most my basic weather research tasks and functions I might need. If there are more complex functions like what’s the temperature 702 miles NE of here then I find it requires me to “explain and provide WAY to much information” simply to do the one function.

### 5/5 — It’s BACKKKK

*2024-06-26*

Enough said

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-11-14*

This app used to be fun and hilarious, but now doesn’t work at all 👎

### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2023-07-27*

I look at it several times a day.  Just to get a smile.

### 5/5 — Always use it

*2023-07-04*

I’m always checking the wind on here, it’s quick, east, and fun with all the jokes, although some don’t make sense lol

### 5/5 — Only wx I need

*2023-05-25*

I didn’t want to be educated or told the wx as if my flight depended on it.. I just wanted stupid wx.. 
seriously it lets me laugh a little when usually everything else is just too much to deal with.

### 5/5 — Excellent APP

*2023-05-10*

This APP not only gives you great, useful, information but it makes it fun as well.

### 5/5 — awesome app

*2023-05-10*

I love this app, checking it before i go to fly always gives me a chuckle. One quick suggestion, could you add the option for fahrenheit?

### 5/5 — Still a 5, but

*2023-05-01*

Guys, is the wind indicator 180 degrees off? Put an email the developer method in your app so we don’t have to ask questions via reviews.

**Developer response:** The wind indicator is based off of blowing from not blowing to. I had it the other way before, but a few CFIs called me out in the beta.

### 5/5 — I’m so offended!

*2023-05-01*

What do you mean I don’t know how to convert Celsius? Of course I do. It’s something to do with 5, 9 and 32. I just can’t get it right so I’m pretty sure 16C is 40.88F… or something like that. Fortunately, this app is a lot better then my math and my landings on 45L

Your favorite aviation weather app that makes fun of your flying just got more fixed up than your airplane at its last annual (your A&P would like a word with you).
