Fast

This is the fastest way to get METAR and TAF info for saves airports.

Can’t find smaller airports around DFW

Disappointed, can’t find KJWY and other small airports around Dallas area.

Ads won’t remove

Three times now ads have comeback even though I pay to remove them. Developer is a sociopath.

Don’t Size

I like the app but cannot zoom or change the font size. I find it hard to read.

Too small

Like the format however, the type is too small and I can’t figure out how to enlarge it.

Nice app

Text Too Small

After using AirWX for over 10 years, I had to find a new app when it stopped working.

This app looks good, but I simply cannot see it without reading glasses or a magnifying glass. No way to zoom in, either.

I guess I will keep looking.

Now it works again 😃 I love this app

I loved it before but it quit working until the last 5.84 update

Working as it should

The developer of this useful app kept responding to my complaints that the app was no longer working by telling me to upgrade to a particular version of the app. However, no version number could be found in the app nor in the App Store. Then suddenly the App Store changed the download from the Cloud symbol to the word “upgrade” and that download worked. It is clear that getting the necessary upgrade installed in the App Store was the issue. That done, the app works well again. I’ve used for years and find it very useful.

Dear Valued User, We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. The new API from NOAA is currently experiencing instability, occasionally returning empty values. To address this issue, we have implemented some enhancements in the app. The new versions are currently under review in the App Store and should be available within the next one to two days. Best regards, Aviation Team

No longer works 🤨 even updating to 5.82

I updated and now I no longer get the wx meters and tafs. Was excellent now not so much. I guess now I will have to pay. I have tried deleting and reinstalling the app but while I can select an airport and the line comes up with the choice of metar tad or map, when I select either metar or tag I get a brief message ‘“retrieving data” but then nothing just blank. It used to work until I updated

Dear Valued User, Please upgrade the app to version 5.84 for enhanced data access, in line with recent changes by the Aviation Weather Center. Our app will always remain free. Thank you, Aviation Team

App no longer works

App no longer works after updating. I’ve had this app for years and it was a great resource for quick weather updates

Still not working

Nothing about this app is working properly on my iPhone. Even trying to reach the app’s creator gets you a “Go no further” message. I downloaded the latest version and thought it was working when touching the compass button brought down the METAR for the airport near me. But after that, I could not get any other airport’s METAR. The app works properly on my old iPad. iPhone 12 Pro iOS 17.0.3; iPad Air 2 OS 15.7.9.

Can’t get info on this app anymore

No option to update app, it stopped showing wx info about 2 weeks ago….

A Good App

This a good app for quickly checking the weather (METARs & TAFs) for a desired airport.

What happened?

Suddenly, the app stopped displaying METAR AND TAF information.

Just stopped working

Not working won’t let you close ads

Needs some updates for sure

It’s work in progress. The map is glitchy when I tap between icao’s. I wish they would auto show the raw obs on the map and or color code each depending on if they are IFR or VFR. For the region function I wish there was a search bar. Can I not change the order of my star locations? I wish I could see raw data there as well without having to click on each location and then backing out. Hopefully this helps.
