2.0.1

June 11, 2026

Last known location is cached across launches, reducing an annoying pause at launch waiting for the GPS to start If a station's ceilometer isn't reporting coverage, the cloud coverage circle displays an ellipsis instead of an X (which now only means "obscured") Workaround for a rare freeze when initial purchase is completed on the Watch Fix truncated visibility text in the Combo widget/complication Fix a crash of the Share screen on the Watch Chunkier QR code for easier scanning on the Share screen

Great product

My free trial expired. I tried to renew it. It asked me to log into my Apple account. It would never let me login if I couldn’t renew it please fix that.

I like that app

I like the app but there is one more thing you are missing for John F.Kennedy International Airport(JFK) and it supposed to says New York John F.Kennedy International Airport(JFK) can you put that in the next update please

Response from developer

I get the names verbatim from the National Weather Service, but it looks like they've fixed this. KJFK now includes "New York" in the name.

Very cool tool!

This is great! I love that I can get the AWOS for airports near me. I would give it five starts if: 1) It was available on the iphone and 2) I could pick/enter smaller airports that I want to fly to that have a station. OS9 for example.

I love that this was a a university project written by a pilot! Well done!

***Will you please make a version for the iPhone?!

Update: you'll be happy to know that version 2.0 has just been released, with Phone and iPad support, including widgets! Please tell all your pilot friends about it. For tiny apps like this it makes a big difference. Thank you for trying PilotAWOS!
