Great tool for pilots

Use StationWeather everyday before planning next days flights. Indispensable

It might be great.

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.

Disappointed

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.

Response from developer

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

Format has changed

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.

"Free" trials

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

ATIS does not fit on watch screen

Overall disappointed. I’m a professional aviator and bought this for my watch face to check the atis quickly. It doesn’t fit on the watch face and they haven’t fixed this. I will cancel my subscription and may request a refund as it is not usable.

Convenient

All of the necessary information is right where you need it when flight planning. The subscription price is reasonable as well.

Widgets

Depuis quelques jours impossible d’obtenir les infos sur un widget.

Amazing app. But….

Only with the pro subscription you can actually have the widgets etc. additionally the D-ATIS is only available for 80 US Airports. I wish this would have been communicated to me before I purchased the pro subscription. This felt like I was cheated a little.
But anyways good job on the app.

Great Widgets

I’ve been using the app for a couple years. It’s a great visual way to interpret METAR data, optimized for iOS. In the latest update, the widgets change background colour to reflect day/night/sunrise. It’s a small thing, but brings great situational awareness when you have multiple stations displayed. I love this app and will subscribe forever.

Thanks for your kind review! Glad to hear you like the new feature 😊 Oliver

Much improved

I first came across this app several years ago when it was really bad (e.g. long outdated runway numbers, runway recommendations with tailwind, etc.), but this app has evolved quite a bit. It provides a METAR complication to the Apple Watch that is faster and much more configurable than Foreflight’s extremely limited and buggy Watch app - kudos!
The iOS app is also very good, although there Foreflight typically covers everything as well.
One wish for the complication: Please include raw METAR as an option.
Thx!

Response from developer

Hi there, Thanks for your kind review and your suggestions! Sadly the whole raw METAR doesn't fit on a watch complication, which is why the data is reduced to the most relevant items or your personal preferences (such as wind, temperature etc.). All Best, Oliver

Not recommended

Most of the useful features are locked behind a subscription. I previously purchased a lifetime pro version of this app specifically for the widget functionality. This worked great before, but it is no longer included in the pro version I purchased (the lifetime pro version now shows as a legacy version in the app and requires a subscription to use widgets again.) I would not recommend this app given their business tactics of charging extra for features you already paid for.

Response from developer

Hi, Thanks for your review. All features that were available when you purchased the legacy version will remain permanently active for you as long as they are supported. The Today Widget functionality that was available in older iOS versions was deactivated by Apple at some point. However, Home Screen widgets (which are a different feature and can be placed anywhere on your Home Screen) have always been part of the subscription. All best, Oliver

D-Atis unavailable

I purchased the app only because it said DAtis were available. They don’t say before the purchase that DAtis are not available out of the US. This app is of no use to me. aero weather works just as well

Response from developer

Hi, sadly there is no public access to DATIS outside of the US so far. Once there is, it will find its way in the app. When you subscribe, you first receive a free 7-day trial period in which you can cancel anytime and won’t be charged.
