StationWeather - METAR and TAF App Reviews

This app is what I have been using for recent METAR data since I started my flight training and have used it since. It has been amazing until recently when every time I try to see the airport elevation its is showing “0”. Besides the elevation being wrong it also messes up the pressure and density altitudes. If there is a fix for this or if any devs can help that would be great as I really do love this app and have been subscribed for the past year.

Most recent app update seems to have killed Home Screen widgets’ ability to refresh their info. Still a great app, just hobbled a bit by lackluster widgets.

A great app and love the easy it is to use! Best app i have found and use it everyday!

I first came across this app several years ago when it was really bad (e.g. long outdated runway numbers, runway recommendations with tailwind, etc.), but this app has evolved quite a bit. It provides a METAR complication to the Apple Watch that is faster and much more configurable than Foreflight’s extremely limited and buggy Watch app - kudos! The iOS app is also very good, although there Foreflight typically covers everything as well. One wish for the complication: Please include raw METAR as

I have been using FR24 for a long time. Starting when I first found the apps years ago, to today with my current position at a flight school. FR24 is always on!! my phone, mac, watch its my go to for a brief wx report. thank you!

Very accurate and simple

All of the necessary information is right where you need it when flight planning. The subscription price is reasonable as well.

Simple, and accurate. Has great information,and I love the widget feature

I’ve used the app for almost a year now and it’s been great, but with the latest update it’s become incredibly user-unfriendly. I can’t set the airport I want to see on the iPhone lock screen widget, the information is never up to date, constantly having to refresh… what happened??

Very useful app! But the “limited offer” doesn’t allow to use the free version without subscription. The button “dismiss” doesn’t work… Is it permanent or temporary?

Specifically with the info graph watch face, I like to have the local winds show on the sun dial top position and it’s now allowing me to click my sundial right app (which is my stop watch for procedure turns) I’d like this to be evaluated please. Also, I get weather reports of zero wind a lot. I work at my home airport, and have access to the AWOS. I know the winds aren’t zero. Please look into this.

This is hands down the best aviation app on the market (in any category). I use the iPhone app and widgets before every flight for an immediate and easy look at all the airports around me. Even while flying the Apple Watch app is a huge time savor to get a quick glance at the weather (reported ceilings, winds, & pressure) before landing. Don’t waste another moment, subscribe to the annual pro membership and don’t look back!

Received a very quick response regarding the recent update’s bug relating to watch functionality. Additionally, another update was pushed and the watch app is working again. Thank you!

Was having an issue with the watch complication and Oliver promptly pushed out an update that fixed the problem. Great app!

Tetrahedral on display is backwards. The point of the tetrahedral is pointed into the wind. What is displayed is how a wind sock behaves. Think of the point of the tetrahedral as the nose of the airplane. That helps the pilot to visually see from the air which runway to select.

This app provides quick and easy weather, notams, and weather maps. Hands down the best app out there for interpreting aviation weather. Having this tool in the aviation industry is a must and is now my go to weather app. As an airline pilot this app ROCKS over any other app I have used. Thank you also for the great subscription cost. For that cost I am here to stay!

This app is phenomenal and I use it frequently to check the latest METARs. However with the latest update I find outdated METARs/TAFs from hours ago and have to restart the app to refresh them. Even the pulldown function does nothing. Hoping to making the dev aware of this issue **Update: Dev has been working hard to fix the issue! Hope this will resolve anyone else who might be experiencing this

This app is great overall except for fact that the flight clips don’t always update properly. I’ve had some get 60+ hours old with the update interval set to 1 minute. I know the information is being updated by the airport because I can check the raw feed on the internet, so the problem must be with the app.

This app allows me to quickly check the current Metar as well as the TAF and presents the information in a very easy to understand why

I absolutely love the iOS app and the WatchOS version saves me loads of effort. Being able to setup lists of airports is a great resource for checking weather around you in predetermined areas. The graphical TAF is very easy to read and scrub through by timeline. The recent update allowing the app to pull in EVERY nearest meter/taf instead of just ones on your Clips makes this app perfect for cross-county flying or when in new areas. Fly safer, buy and USE this app!

I love the app, however when I open it on my iPad, it is NOT restoring my purchase. I’m not sure what else to do. Also the watch takes way too long to refresh. Again, paid version. I hope you fix this soon! *UPDATE 6/27/22* Developer responded to my review and gave me a contact email address. My iPad issue has been solved. I also noticed Apple Watch updated more reliably and faster. Congratulations, I can now give you 5 Stars!! Thank You for your prompt response!!

This is my go to weather App, it’s design is simply elegant and provides enhanced situational awareness. This app makes figuring out exemption 17347 much easier for part 121 flying. The graphical presentation is much more efficient than having to imagine everything. Incredible design team, Keep up the great work.

So sadly this doesn’t work very well (almost not usable) on the cellular Apple Watch without the iPhone tethered to it, if I have my iPhone on me anyways it easier to just look on foreflight, so there’s not much of a use for this app, Windh seems to do the same thing but actually works on the Apple Watch when it’s solo, as does NRST for frequencies and a heading and decent rate to the nearest field. On a good note, the GUI is kinda slick

I’ve used the app for almost 2 years now and this is my second review (I’ve never left two reviews for absolutely anything). The app is good but the widgets and the Watch complication is just USELESS. The information provided is outdated 9 times out of 10. Now they’ve deleted the Flight Clip that I created for only the airports I fly to! The location tracks is absolutely atrocious and the widgets are Watch take forever to update to your new location (I drive a lot all over west Texas for work) e
