User reviews

Works well.

Works well Most of the time even added to the complications on watch face. Only problem and reason for one star deletion is that on watch face recently keep getting error for location (disabled?) and have to go into ap every time and can’t get it to work as originally.

App does not load

Purchased app just now, site indicates that is purchased but the app is nowhere to be found? What is the deal???

Response from developer

Sorry you are having problems. Load it directly on the Apple Watch. Search for Nearest Airport in App Store on the watch and download the app onto the watch. The is no need for an iPhone or IPad. We have been unable to duplicate the problem. Thanks.
