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

I fuel commercial flights for a living. I just discovered this app too. I like knowing where my flights are departing to, it gives me a idea is this flight going to have a alternate. One day I discussed his fuel load from dispatch and the F/O hadn't looked at the weather yet. So I pulled up this app for him. He was absolutely amazed. So yeah I give this app a 5 star review.

This is a great replacement for the abandoned AirReport app. The only functionality I'd really like to see is a night/dark theme for the widget instead if a bright white background. It's not pleasing to maintaining night vision when flying at night and also drains battery power more than needed. edit 7/26/2019: dark mode is there now and I'm ecstatic! Thanks, not sure how long it has been there, but THANK YOU.

I have been using this app for years after purchasing most of the modules. As a HAA pilot it has been my go-to weather app for a quick rundown of the conditions in my service area. The ability to see the conditions of a list of METAR sites at a glance is invaluable. If I could make any recommendations: 1.) The ability to read the Area Forecast Discussions (Short term, long term, and Aviation) 2.) The ability to customize or compress the information to allow more sites on screen at once.
