KEY FEATURES

METAR and TAF Decoding
Read METAR and TAF reports in a fully decoded, human-readable format. Understand weather conditions at a glance without interpreting raw data.

Graphical TAF
View the complete forecast in a visual timeline. See how wind, visibility, and conditions evolve at any given time — instantly.

Flight Briefings from Your Calendar
StationWeather reads your roster or flight schedule directly from your device calendar. Departure airport, destination, and flight times are detected automatically — no manual entry needed. The app then pulls the right weather reports for each airport at the relevant times, selects suitable alternates along the route, and presents everything at a glance. Your briefing, ready before you even open a chart.

Route Weather on the Map
Overlay your flight route on interactive weather maps to see radar, turbulence, cloud tops, wind, and pressure along your exact path — at the times that matter. From local conditions to a full en-route picture, everything is in one place.

Widgets and Live Activities
Put key weather data right on your Home Screen. Widgets for METAR, TAF, and more let you monitor conditions without opening the app. Live Activities and Apple Watch complications keep you updated throughout your flight day.

Aviation Charts
Browse over 700 aviation weather charts across all ICAO regions, including significant weather (SIGWX) charts.

NOTAM Management

### 1/5 — Not updating, not much info

*2026-08-03, version 26.3.3*

Only 80 airports support ATIS.  Not updating info.  Stick to Foreflight!

### 1/5 — No metars or taf available.

*2026-07-26, version 26.3.3*

Literally the 2 things it advertises are unavailable.

### 5/5 — Great tool for pilots

*2026-07-05*

Use StationWeather everyday before planning next days flights. Indispensable

### 3/5 — It might be great.

*2026-06-22, version 26.2.11*

It might be great, I just wouldn't know. I barely use it. The complexity is more trouble than it's worth to me (a moderately sophisticated forecast consumer for several decades), but it might be everything that  a highly sophisticated user might want. It just doesn't help me like I imagined it would.

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2026-06-18*

As a pilot, I think there are at least a few other apps out there that are FAR  more helpful. Have to pay extra to get current ATIS when I can simply call? Simpler yet, have to dig to get latest METAR (although I think current ATIS is more important), as opposed to making it more intuitive? I shouldn’t have to pay extra or even “dig” to get that info Just sayin. 
Will likely delete this app. 

Update: the developer got back to me. “… one subscription unlocks every feature”. My point exactly! I want more info than the app offers for free and know how to get it (relatively quickly) without paying for it. So, no, it’s not working for me. It might take me a minute or two more to get the info I want for free, but I simply can’t justify paying for info that is out there for free. Well, kudos to the developer for at least responding.

**Developer response:** Hi Flynbug, thanks for the honest feedback. Quick clarification: there’s no separate ATIS charge — one subscription unlocks every feature, D-ATIS included. The current METAR is on the first details page and updates automatically. You can also reorder the details pages, so ATIS or METAR can come first to match how you fly. Happy to hear more if it still doesn’t fit. Oliver

### 2/5 — Format has changed

*2026-06-07, version 26.2.7*

This app used to be better! I used to be able to add individual stations that I wanted to have quick access to. Now I am forced to create a flight to see weather and notams.

### 5/5 — Good

*2026-05-19*

Good

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2026-04-19*

Latest update crashes before it opens.

### 2/5 — "Free" trials

*2026-04-03, version 11.7.2*

Hate to sign uo for a free trial just to see if this would work or me. 
Free trials inevitably result in unintended subscriptions
Why not simply have a new user try it out for free for a day and then possibly ask them for a free trial after which they can decide to go for it or not

### 5/5 — Nr 1 !!!

*2026-03-18*

No better METAR/TAF app out there for free…👍👍👍
