METAR Widgets User Reviews

Doesn’t update automatically, not worth the two dollars

The app is absolutely not worth the 2 dollars that it costs. Even as a free app I wouldn’t use it. There’s cheaper and better options out there. The widgets don’t work at all and/or don’t update every hour

Works great

Great way to quickly get crucial weather info for flying. Very easy to use.

Love it

Great widget for pilots

No longer operational

Does not load data for a month now.

METAR widgets

I really like the app. Any chance you could have a menu in setup to choose between C° or F°?

Airport Choose Not Working

First couple widgets I made work great. I love them! I'm trying to add a third now and it won't let me select an airport. Tried restarting my phone and that didn't do it. Not sure what's going on but I can't find anywhere to submit feedback. Hopefully they figure it out soon but another review from a few couple ago mentioned the same thing.

missing lock screen widget

very cool home screen widget. missing the lock screen. would be 5 stars otherwise

Love this app but I’m frustrated

Have been using this app for years while in flight school. Switched flight schools and needed to change my primary METAR widget. Now when I go to press (Choose) on the “Airport” option it doesn’t allow me to select any airports. I could be doing something wrong but I’ve tried uninstalling and everything and it won’t work. When it did work it was an amazing tool.

Worth the few dollars

Handy app that does everything it says. Is far better value than all the overpriced subscription apps that are available for widgets.
Have used for airports worldwide with no issues. Have found anywhere you can get a metar from ForeFlight you’ll also be able to get it on this app.
Adding the widget to the lock screen is the only improvement suggestion I can make.

Great app works well!!

Please bring it to Lock Screen!

Lock Screen/at a glance support?

Really cool little app. I would really like to be able to add the widget to the lock screen and or the at a glance screen not just my home screen.

Exactly what you need

Great app. Nice and clean interface but would love to see the possibility of D-ATIS integration

Great!

Great! I do wish there was a lock screen widget as well. I will update to 5 stars if one comes

Cool looking app, but missing some airfields

Since the app is available international, should probably mention where the information is taken from since only after I downloaded and paid realized my local airfields (Colombia) are not available.

Update update: App is working great

Good app! Made sure to update iPhone and app and everything is working again.

Updated review: Good App, Missing Some Airports Still

Editors for the app doing good work, keeping up with updates as needed. Still missing some airports when searching (KMOB, KTLH) but otherwise a very good app worth the money.

Response from developer

Please update to version 1.5! METAR updates have been restored, and you should see data flowing again once you update. Our data provider (the Aviation Weather Center) made some breaking changes to the API we use to retrieve METARs. We've made the corresponding updates on our end, as well as some other small changes to better support iOS17 and make it easier to self-diagnose issues with METAR data. Apologies for the outage!

Stopped working, developer unresponsive

Stopped working about two weeks ago, developer has not replied to contact via email or Apple… consider it abandoned

Great app. You should add a Lock Screen Screen widget

I hope there are plans to add a Lock Screen widget as well for the new iOS.

Does the job, needs an update

Great lightweight app that does what it says. The UI and UX are well done and look leaps and bounds better than the competition.

However, this app haven’t been updated in a year. I’d love to see integration with iOS 16 Lock Screen widgets. In addition, D-ATIS would be a massive upgrade if implemented for airports that support it.

Great app could use a few features

Would it be possible in a future update to get F scales and A few more customizable scale options? Great displays and intuitive UI design. Overall great.
