*** AeroWeather: for pilots, aviation enthusiasts, and everyone who is serious about the weather! *** Current and precise weather conditions (METAR) and forecasts (TAF). AeroWeather Pro provides quick and intuitive access to METAR and TAF for airports worldwide. Data can be shown in its original (raw) format or as fully decoded and easy understandable texts. AeroWeather Pro is helpful for weather preflight-briefings, but also to just get very precise weather. All weather data is cached for offline access. In addition to weather data, AeroWeather Pro integrates also airport NOTAMs (provided by US FAA), webcam images around airports (provided by windy.com), FlightService access (US only), and US ATC delay information (provided by US FAA). AeroWeather Pro also offers built-in groups for earthquakes, nearby stations, and today widget (pre iOS14), which can be individually enabled on the top level view. Besides creating user groups it’s also possible to put stations on the same level user groups (e.g. home base). Depending on your needs, groups can be shown or hidden in the main list view. User groups can also be synchronized via Cloud Kit*. The app features a built-in airport database, which includes airport data like runways, sunrise/sunset, twilight times, moon times, timezones etc. METAR alert notifications** is another new and helpful feature to stay up-to-date. Define multiple alerts for each station with criteria like: flight rule (US NOAA), wind speed, temperature, pressure, present weather, visibility etc. Notifications will be sent to your device if the criteria is met (e.g., when flight rule becomes IFR). Dedicated METAR/TAF** access is optionally available. METAR/TAF data will come primarily from a certified ANSP (air navigation service provider) and is provided reliably and fast from our dedicated, redundant servers (indicated by blue checkmark underneath METAR/TAF). AeroWeather Pro comes with an Apple Watch app, which shows either a list of stations as defined in the Apple Watch group or all nearby stations based on the current location. METAR and TAF are displayed for each station. In addition, you can put AeroWeather as a complication in your watch face to stay up-to-date. Please consult our web-site for a full description of all features. * Additional functionality which needs to be unlocked (one-time purchase).

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: ATIS App at Free against AeroWeather Pro's $4.79. ATIS App also leads on rating (4.3 vs 3.7) and review sentiment (62% vs 51%). AeroWeather Pro's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
ATIS App is free to download; AeroWeather Pro costs $4.79 up front. AeroWeather Pro sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and ATIS App sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
ATIS App holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AeroWeather Pro has 356 ratings behind it against 40, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 51% of AeroWeather Pro's written reviews are positive against 62% of ATIS App's.
AeroWeather Pro ships an update every 3 weeks, ATIS App every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
