WX View vs XTide

You are going for a local fight, or just to a neighboring airport, or a training flight -- do you really need to check the weather? FAR 91.103 says "Each pilot in command shall, before beginning a flight, become familiar with all available information concerning that flight." That is where WX View fits in.  • Lets you quickly check the current weather conditions (METAR) and forecasts (TAF) for the local area based on your current location. • Gives you standard weather category (VFR, MVFR, IFR, LIFR) colors, that make the information easy to comprehend. • Tracks the weather info that you have received to show the you have complied with FAR 91.103.  • Allows you to customize the weather information shown to your needs.  • Mark your favorite airports so they show up at the top of the list for easy viewing. • And lastly, share current weather info to your pilot friends! WX View runs on iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. Includes complications to add to your Apple Watch face to check the weather at your nearest airport at a glance. Time to fly!

XTide provides tide and current predictions. The Apple Watch app and Widget show information for the closest of your favorite tide stations. It is based on the popular open source XTide for Unix from http://www.flaterco.com/xtide/introduction.html XTide includes a harmonics file (tide data) for the United States only due to legal issues with the data from other countries, but supports custom harmonics files. See https://flaterco.com/xtide/faq.html#60 for more information.

(Accurate tide predictions can only be made if the 'harmonics data' for the relevant location are good. Unfortunately, the only way the maintainer of those data has of knowing when they are bad is when someone with access to authoritative tide predictions or observations reports a problem. You should not use this program or any data files that might be distributed with it if anyone or anything could come to harm as a result of an incorrect tide prediction. NOAA and similar agencies in other countries can provide you with certified tide predictions if that is what you need.) XTide's predictions do not incorporate the effects of tropical storms, El Niño, seismic events, subsidence, uplift, or changes in global sea level.
