Cold Front
Read full descriptionHide full description
ColdFront puts live aviation weather on a 3D satellite map. Pan anywhere in the world and every reporting airport appears as a pin showing its current conditions; temperature, wind, or sky at a glance. Tap a pin for the full picture: temperature and dew point, humidity, wind direction and speed, visibility, cloud layers with their heights, present weather, pressure, and the flight category (VFR, MVFR, IFR, LIFR) colour-coded so you can read the field at a glance. The raw METAR is there too, for when you'd rather read it yourself. Features • A realistic satellite globe with live observations from thousands of reporting stations • Switch pins between conditions, temperature and wind • Star up to 30 airports and keep them on a quick-access bar at the bottom of the map • Browse the previous 24 hours of observations at every airport • Search by ICAO code or airport name across the world's airports • Jump to your location to see the fields nearest you • Fully decoded METARs in plain language, with the raw report available All observations come from NOAA. ColdFront is for situational awareness and interest, always consult official sources for flight planning.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Cold Front at none against Storm Tracker°'s 8. Cold Front also leads on ads (none vs shown). Storm Tracker°'s advantage is chart position (#50 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.6). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
