ForeFlight has it all *2019-05-17* Not what I was expecting. Does not update fast not included TAF and it is nothing more that I get from my ForeFlight program. I do not recommend it at all. Too bad I have to purchase it before have the chance to try it. ### 1/5 — Too long to update *2019-04-20* Its 20 mins passed the hour and this app is not updating as fast as it should. Pilots need updated weather ASAP. Aviationweather.gov updates usually within 10 minutes after the hour. I am deleting this app and will check my Metars and Tafs using a browser. Waste of money. ### 1/5 — Save your money *2018-02-18* Locks up watch. No taf availability on watch. Great idea poorly executed ### 1/5 — *Update* to an earlier post *2016-08-19* the app crashes all the time ... it has trouble updating and refreshing especially during periods of rapidly changing weather. I still like the 7-day lookback and the banner notifications, but let the developer work out the bugs before you consider this. ### 1/5 — Won't delete won't open *2016-06-20* Help here ### 2/5 — Does not include TAF *2016-02-14* I cannot believe this app does not report TAF. ### 3/5 — Where are my icons?? *2023-01-08* I needed something like this app, I love the idea of it it’s just missing the Apple Watch face icons, it would be much more convenient to have the ability to add a quick action icon to my Apple Watch Ultra face plate to access vs having to open up the apps and find it manually. ### 4/5 — Unfortunate timing of aviation weather center server malfunction *2018-02-22* When I initially purchased this app it worked great! Then all of the sudden it stopped. I assumed it was just the app and gave it a bad review... well it turns out the aviation weather centers server had a malfunction that was affecting the entire system and not an app related problem. App works great on iPhone X and iPad. A good source for aviation weather and route weather planning. **Developer response:** The METARs Aviation Weather App was affected by the server outage at the Aviation Weather Center. (https://www.aviationweather.gov/ ) They were down for the entire day, which is highly unusual. Now that their servers are back online, the app is collecting aviation weather reports again. ### 4/5 — I like this program! *2016-08-21* I really like this program because of the simplicity and ease of use. What I wished it had was the ability to pick one airport and sort the others around it based on distance so I could do some recreation trip planning based on distance from my selected airport. Ideally, I'd like to pick an airport and have it fill in all available METARs in an ever widening circle. Then have the ability to select a general destination point and have all in route show up in order. I did have one bug where it wiped out six previously selected airports. ### 5/5 — Best Historical METARs App *2020-07-27* I use Foreflight and Windy (by windy.com) to do my weather briefing and forecasting before I fly, but I still find this app to be helpful for quickly determining area conditions at my favorited airports as well as for getting historical METARs at a specific airport. The one thing it’s missing is the ability to manually sort your favorites list. ## Most praised reviews (3 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great Functionality & Support *2018-10-28* Works as advertised! Great for maintaining weather situational awareness. Support is prompt and courteous! Well done!! ### 5/5 — The app to have for Apple Watch! *2018-07-25* As a commercial helicopter pilot covering large geographical areas in a VFR only helicopter, I dreamed of having a watch notification when airport of my choosing were changing from VFR to IFR, this app turns those dream into reality. Also having quick access to historical METAR data is a bonus. I’m really pleased with this app so far and the price of admission is more than fair. Great job! ### 5/5 — Good but needs work *2018-01-29* Simple fix. Alphabetical order. Need to be able to find the station quicker than just scrolling. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
