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).

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.

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.

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.

Great weather, metar app. Very detailed information. Using on my Galaxy S22 Plus, and Galaxy Tab S5e. I have about 12 locations entered. The weather data seems to update more timely than it does on other apps I have. I do have some of the optional paid for add-on features, which, to me, are worth the costs, which are very reasonable to me.

I'm not in aviation, but as a former meteorologist I like to see current observations in this more bare-bones format and I can see multiple stations at once. I have no need for fancy graphics. It would be neat to have a station map so you can get an overview of an area, but otherwise this is just what i was looking for!
