## What is WX Trainer?

The WX Trainer app will help you study for your FAA exam like never before.  Instead of memorizing practice questions, you'll practice decoding actual aviation weather reports as they come in live from the Aviation Weather Center. 

You'll gain insight into each entry of the weather report, giving you a much greater understanding.  Weather related questions on the FAA exam will be a breeze!

Features:
* Practice decoding each element of METARS, PIREPS and TAFS.
* Quiz yourself on weather related codes used on all three reports.
* Become accustomed to wind direction being expressed in compass headings instead of compass directions.
* BONUS: See how runway numbers and compass directions are related.

Using this app will give you a greater confidence in reading AND understanding aviation weather reports

The FREE version will allow you to use many of the features indefinitely.  Additional practice exercises are available in the paid version.

If you choose to purchase the paid version, before completing payment, you'll see the price. This amount will be charged ONE-TIME to your iTunes account at confirmation of purchase.

### 1/5 — Deception

*2021-12-08, version 1.0*

You have to keep upgrading, over and over again, to get each piece of the app.

### 3/5 — METAR section is broken

*2020-11-30, version 1.0*

The METAR decoding module seems to be broken. No METARs show. Everything else works well and is helpful.

**Developer response:** Please try again with the latest version.  Recent iOS changes had caused some of the features to not work correctly.  You should find they work now.
