In order to keep AeroWeather Lite free we added a small ad banner at the bottom of the screen. Please consult our web-site for a full description of all features. There's also an iMessage app included which lets you easily send METAR/TAF of any airport to other users. AeroPix should be especially helpful when there's no or insufficient webcam coverage. The pictures will be available to all other pilots (on the map or within an airport detail view) helping them to get a better idea about local conditions. The AeroPix feature offers users the possibility to take quickly picture(s) of the weather at their current location. METAR/TAF data comes 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). Dedicated METAR/TAF** access is optionally available. Notifications will be sent to your device if the criteria is met (e.g., when wind is greater/equal 10 kts, flight rule becomes IFR). Define multiple alerts for each station with the following criteria: flight rule (US NOAA), wind speed, temperature, pressure, present weather, visibility, and ceiling (BKN and OVC). METAR alert notifications** is an helpful feature to stay up-to-date. Depending on your needs, groups can be shown or hidden in the main list view. AeroWeather Lite offers built-in groups for nearby stations, today widget (pre iOS 14), and earthquakes. The app features a built-in airport database, which includes basic airport data like sunrise/sunset, twilight times, timezones etc. There are many settings for units and format of METAR/TAF available. All weather data is cached for offline access. Disappointed to see where this app has gone.ĪeroWeather Lite is helpful for weather preflight-briefings, but also to just get very precise weather. The developer should seriously reconsider how they have this app structured and realign their priorities. As a certificated private pilot, I don’t trust this app for any serious flight planning only for the anecdotal “quick look” at data. The app has always been buggy with multiple crashes, antiqued data at times, and features that wouldn’t work. It seems like the focus these days is on subscription gain versus a coherent package and solid product. The features section conflicts between the App Store and what’s listed in app, so you can’t tell with 100% certainty what you’ll get if you shell out the cash. Dark mode integration and bug fixes are considered “recurring costs” now? I think not. Had the Pro version without any subscriptions and now with this latest update, the Pro app was taken away with an expectation to re-purchase a subscription to enable features like “dark mode.” The developer says they need to cover recurring costs. Like others have already mentioned, this used to be my go to app for METARS.
