About this app

The reliable and straightforward Aviation Weather app for Pilots and aerospace enthusiasts. The METAR-Reader decodes and presents the current METARs of more than 9500 Airports around the globe. Neither more nor less. A simple Color Coding allows a fast classification by VFR or IFR Conditions - as an option even by NATO Color State. Additionally the current TAF weather forecasts are retrieved and displayed clearly in a decoded form.

Runway crosswind components are automatically calculated based on the current METAR. A Widget which can be configured to display either decoded METAR or raw METAR / TAF is also available.

As a bonus the app offers access to NOTAM for the weather stations, which will be downloaded, in part decoded and which can individually be marked as read. This way you can easily keep track of new and relevant NOTAM.

New weather stations can be found worldwide by ICAO or IATA-Codes, airport name or city. They can be organized in user defined groups - e. g. for your most common routes or alternate airports. Additionally an auto-managed group always presents nearby weather stations.

For use during the night, there is a dark theme which can be activated either manually or automatically by the system (depending on your Android version).

Ratings and reviews

Works well!! Can set for US or Metric. Gives the VFR colour code. Developer responsive to inquiries. The only problem I have is if I accidentally add a wrong airport code, I can't delete it, necessitating deleting the entire "favourite" list and readding it all from scratch. Perhaps I am missing a step? Notwithstanding this minor problem, this is a VERY good app, and it becomes one of your "go to" apps if you flow the weather closely!

This is an excellent app - especially for VFR pilots. I set up airports according to routes I take. I am based at KCRG. I set up south, south west, north and north west routes. The only addition I would suggest is the ability to sort the airports in order of one's route flown. EXCELLENT APP!!! Oops - I just read another review that says it can be done. I will try it.

Great wx app. saves me from having to use that hot piece of garbage garmin pilot for android just to check wx conditions. I wish the widgets pushed information a little quicker because i still feel like i need to open the app and refresh to make sure i have the most current information, but that is an extremely minor issue. Wouldnt mind seeing a radar option at some point in the future, but thats avaialable in other apps, and this one does what it says it does very well and is worth the price.

What's new

Bugfix: Better support for increased font sizes throughout the app and the widget. To immediately redraw the widget after changing the system font settings, you may have to reconfigure it, e.g. by switching between light and dark mode or by selecting a different airport. Otherwise it will update in the regular interval.
