METAR Plot vs METAR Pilot

METAR Plot for Apple Watch displays station models (plots) as well as raw METARs for most airports worldwide, using current METAR data.  The app features two stations lists: nearby and user-defined. While the entire station database can be used offline (to add station or lookup nearby station), an internet connection is required to load METAR data. Data is updated automatically. Preferences can be set for type of flight rules and units (visibility, temperature, and pressure). Options for observation time in LT or UTC as well as sort order of user list. The app works completely independent from your iPhone and includes complications for watch faces with rectangular and circular types.

Your Essential Aviation Weather Companion METAR Pilot delivers real-time METAR weather data directly to your iPhone and Apple Watch, making critical flight planning information instantly accessible. Designed by pilots for pilots, this powerful aviation tool ensures you always have the weather intelligence you need for safe and informed flight decisions. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY While developing the app, we do our best to attempt to fetch METAR data for nearby/selected airports every 10 to 15 minutes, but several factors can interfere with this schedule. WatchOS functionality may block background refreshes if the watch is in "Low Power Mode" or if the battery is getting low. Additionally, since the watch uses the internet connection from your paired iPhone, a weak LTE/3G signal may prevent data from updating. If you see outdated data, tap any complication to launch the watch app and guarantee a forced data refresh.
