It’s on a fine line.
This app was nearly perfect. They added a few features like the widget and a nearby tab. Both are cool, but I don’t want the widget and I’m stuck with the tab. Unfortunately they have made the app a bit bloated, it doesn’t run as good as it used to. The tabs at the top are not removable. That combined with the inevitable add banner, makes the airport list only three or so depending on how you read your weather. It’s still super useable, but it’s on thin ice if they go more glitz and less user adjustably on the next one it’s gone. The aviation community wants stuff that works not stuff that’s pretty.

Used to be Good
Like others have already mentioned, this used to be my go to app for METARS. 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. Dark mode integration and bug fixes are considered “recurring costs” now? I think not. 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. It seems like the focus these days is on subscription gain versus a coherent package and solid product. The app has always been buggy with multiple crashes, antiqued data at times, and features that wouldn’t work. 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 developer should seriously reconsider how they have this app structured and realign their priorities. Disappointed to see where this app has gone.

SADLY, LATEST REVISIONS HAVE SCREWED THIS UP
Below you'll find my 'review' of several years ago. I loved this app back then and activated it more than once each day. Alas, someone a few months ago couldn't leave 'perfection' alone, and IMPROVED the format. Now it's just a shadow of its former simplicity; doesn't load as quickly and has clutter that few will like. I would pay money to have the old app back. If you who control this app read this please consider offering the old format for a reasonable price. I'll be happy to join up. BELOW IS WHAT I WROTE ABOUT THE OLD APP, BEFORE CURRENT REVISIONS: This app shows you the weather as recorded at any airport you designate, and gives that to you in "real time", updating that weather every hour. Since aviation requires current, accurate weather, you receive this benefit when you use this app. I've been using this for about a year now and it always works and is simple to use. It allows you to make a list of as many locations as you would like, and displays current weather at each of those when you open the app. You can choose a location by the name of the airport or by the name of a town. My own list, arranged in the order I desire, now contains 22 locations scattered across the USA and the Bahama Islands. I see this list, with current weather for each location, each time I open this app. Info includes current temperature, humidity, wind direction and speed, amount of cloud cover and forecast weather for the next 24 hours; along with with information about the airport where this data was collected. Very helpful for anyone who is traveling or who participates in outdoor activities which are affected A

About AeroWeather Lite
3,575 characters
*** AeroWeather: for pilots, aviation enthusiasts, and everyone who is serious about the weather! *** Current and precise weather conditions (METAR) and forecasts (TAF).
AeroWeather Lite provides quick and intuitive access to METAR and TAF for airports worldwide. Data can be shown in its original (raw) format or as fully decoded and easy understandable texts. AeroWeather Lite is helpful for weather preflight-briefings, but also to just get very precise weather. All weather data is cached for offline access. There are many settings for units and format of METAR/TAF available.
The app features a built-in airport database, which includes basic airport data like sunrise/sunset, twilight times, timezones etc.
AeroWeather Lite offers built-in groups for nearby stations, today widget (pre iOS 14), and earthquakes. Depending on your needs, groups can be shown or hidden in the main list view.
METAR alert notifications** is an helpful feature to stay up-to-date. 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). 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).
Dedicated METAR/TAF** access is optionally available. 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).
Please consult our web-site for a full description of all features. In order to keep AeroWeather Lite free we added a small ad banner at the bottom of the screen.
