Aeroweather Pro App Reviews

App would have gotten 5 stars from me but Pro version NOTAMS won’t work on IPHONE. Same APP on my IPAD and NOTAMS load properly. Reached out to developer and no answer on this.

Notams often don’t load with the latest update...

I can no longer get the notams to load on my iPhone. I can only see them with my iPad.

Would love for it to keep the data current on my watch. No joy. Really frustrating.

I’ve used the app for years. It comes in handy and comes with good support.

I have been using this for app for a while and the watch complication is perfect for checking weather at my airport. Still needs work on selecting airports. The app has a place to select airports for the watch but it still requires setup on the watch. Using series 2 and iPhone 8. I barely use the app anymore just glance at my watch. I would rate as a 5 if better instructions on getting the complication to work were available.

This has been a very useful app. Unfortunately I’m now having issues downloading notams.

This app has been integral to my flight planning & execution for years; however, the developers recent decision to change how it gets TAF info has made it unusable. All of airfields I use on a daily basis now say “TAF not available” even though those airfields are still publishing TAFs. Uninstall.

Worked great until now. Notams won’t load, says needs update to work with iOS 11.

They broke it with the latest release.

A good and useful app, however its not loading last 12 metars when set to, only 3 or 4. Hope it get fixed soon.

Aero team—latest update yielded a blank app. Please fix. App does not work.

I love using this app, it is so handy to have access to local METAR information on my phone. Well organized and easy to use.

Used it for years. Finally adding a review because it’s so awesome.

Would be an ok app if it wouldn’t have connection problems. Half of the time the app can’t connect to the server.

It is just perfect

Paid for the upgrade to Pro because of Apple Watch support, but it doesn’t work (widget stops receiving current weather for no reason).

The pro version will still occasionally spam you with notifications to “unlock more features.” They got my money once, but it’s an uninstall. Aviation weather alerts are critical and shouldn’t be used for marketing.

App developer of this PAID app engages in notification spam to beg for more money. Despicable behavior and abuse of system service! Automatic one star rating!

After update, the app does not work. You can not add airports or see any weather. Unfortunate, I use to use it all the time. You can not add any airport weather through the mobile app.

About 80% of the time when you open the app you will get "Loading Failed." Tried uninstalling and reinstalling, verifying the data settings, etc. Well worth it when the app works properly though.

Took a while to get it working. On my phone seems to work fine. My Apple Watch on the other hand is a different story. My watch very seldom ever updates. I’ve tried every combination of settings but the weather straight from my watch stays hours and hours behind.

The groups feature is great. It allows you to create lists of airports. You can create a list by region or even by flight. Simply create a list and add the airports you want in the list. I have a website that creates an html version of a plain text flight plan that my company produces. I create a list of our approved alternates along the route of flight. This list can then be loaded into AeroWeather Pro using a link. Optionally, the link can be encoded as a QR code to be scanned. Thus, a pilot can open an html version of the flight plan and scan the list of airports for the flight number into AeroWeather. I would share some examples, but the last review with my site did not get posted. However, if you go to the support site for AeroWeather, there is enough Gino to figure out how to structure the link.

This is a great app! I was just wondering if under the alerts a feature allowing for alerts if an airport has a delay would be possible? This would only work for US airports and FAA delays but since we can view these delays in the app, an alert for them would be fantastic.

A must have.

I have had lots of trouble in the past with the watch app and the widget. Usually everything breaks after an update, but the latest update fixed everything! Glad to be finally able to use the watch app!

Every aviator should get one. ✈️✈️🛩👍👍👍

Doesn’t work with iPhone X. Keep getting “loading failed” message and developer has been unresponsive. Previous versions on older iPhone was great.

Data on Apple Watch fails to update every other day or so. I have set my complication, but every 48 hours or so, the complication will just freeze, stop updating, and generally stop working. I am unable to force quit the app and get it to work. I’ve tried reinstalling the app AND the Apple Watch iOS. The complication eventually wakes up and comes back after hours of idle time. Extremely frustrating.

Notams were included in old version of pro. Not included after latest update

Hands down the best METAR app out there. I use the Watch aspect all the time. I love it.

Having used the lite version for some time , I wanted the extra features of the pro version namely the access to notams. I bought the pro version and was very happy with the one stop shop access to other data . Updating to the new version I find that there is no access to notams , a feature I paid for !! Do not update .

I paid for the pro version of this app years ago, and the entire time the watch complication has been hit or miss. To make matters worse the developer, instead of fixing bugs, has now rolled out additional features that require an in app purchase (even if you already paid for the “pro” version).

Watch doesn’t update. Won’t use cellular signal with phone to update. Only updates when phone is connected to WiFi. Not very useful with Apple Watch unless you’re connected to WiFi all the time.

The first place I look before heading to the airport. Especially like the runway diagrams with wind components.

I paid for the pro version years ago and now the developer has rolled out features that require an in app purchase that used to be included with the pro version. There are other products out there that don't keep digging into our pockets.

This app is great to leverage for the frequent traveler but more for aviation enthusiasts that want or need a bit of help with METARs and what runway for approach and departure. This review is coming from someone trying to acquire their private pilots certificate.

I agree with other posts. This app is great on the phone and use to be on my watch. Now after many resets will not mirror the iPhone. Please fix it this week. Same for me too with Apple Watch two.

Hello, I've been using your app for many years and it is my #1 app for the aviation weather reports and NOTAMs! The last major update brought something that I think many pilots don't like. In my opinion NOTAMs should be defaulted to Raw format and report as an option. Or, at least make it as a setting in the preferences to chose between default view for NOTAMs (raw or report). Thank you for your work and for the great app anyways! Have a festive Holiday Season!

Invaluable tool for pilots. Use it daily.

Please fix this app. It used to be perfect but now it's not usable at all.

Crashes after typing in an airport in the search field

App updates weather fine when on wifi. But as soon as on mobile data 3G/4G it loads forever and finally shows up with only dashes instead of info. So not only fails to download but also clears last TAF. Useless

I found this App a few years ago. Best app on my phone. Best pilot wx app on the market..period! As the other reviewer stated, I much prefer the raw style NOTAM's with a decode option, I'm not liking the new format at all. Other than that, this app gets better every update, but please go back to old notam style. Tech support is great in adding airports into database, fast response! Because of the change in notam format style...My rating changed a from a 5.0 to 4

Shows "data not available" on my Apple Watch, and after going through a complicated setup process. Can't trust this app to be reliable and user-friendly while I'm flying.

Great app. Latest update crashes immediately. Go back to the previous version.

Do not update to the latest version!!!

I use this app almost daily for checking my usual flight paths. It is really a valuable tool. During the last update, all of my favorites were deleted. Again. WTH.

I use this app daily and love it. Fast, accurate, and awesome on my watch! Don't hesitate to give this developer your money.

Not all airports use the same altimeter setting unit. Some use Hpa others use in. of Hg. Before you had the option to use original station units. Now with 2.0 it's either Hpa or in. of Hg. Lack of options will kill this app

I love the app and before I would have given it a 5 star rating. But it doesn’t work with my new Apple Watch. Because there isn’t an Apple Watch group on the iphone app, the data doesn’t appear on my watch. Too bad and two stars!

Very good and easy to use. Only thing I would recommend is maybe to add a feature where we can put for example Departure and Arrival airports to obtain both weather info together instead of look for each airport individually. Thanks good job!

The new features are great. Such as ATC delays, and have been waiting for tafs to be displayed on Apple Watch and glad that is now available...in theory. Worked briefly on my Apple Watch but wouldn’t refresh and after uninstalling and reinstalling it doesn’t work at all. Nice concept but a long ways to go.

Says ”not set” when you use the aero-weather complication. Re adding stations to the apple watch list doesn't fix it. Uninstalling doesn't fix it.

using local unit feature is gone. I have to stick to imperial or metric. Please bring it back!!

Love the app on the iPhone and iPad, however, the Apple Watch has always been hit or miss. After I finally got it to work on my Apple Watch, it quit working after the latest update. I have tried all the tricks...uninstall/reinstall app, power-down/restart devises, delete/reinstall airport in the widget. Very aggravating. Ok. An update: after messing with it all day, I figured out that there is now an iPhone group that has to be selected in the configuration menu on the iPhone. Then on the Apple Watch, you have to press and hold the airport station to set your complication. Once I figured all this out, it works pretty cool. I even like the fact you can change from your iPhone list to all nearby airport on the Watch. I just wish there was a better tutorial...unless I missed it.

Spent HOURS trying to get iPhone display working - without success so far. 😡

The latest revision will not function with the IWatch gen3. Waiting for a response from customer service. Russ CFI.

Can't recommend this app enough. The additional features and improvements over time make this a must have purchase. Used prior to every flight.

I have to admit that I had issues at first with the application’s new upgrade but after I set it up I just sent an email with my questions and a couple of snaps shot of my watch and they replied back to me with this solutions to my problems with the app and everything works beautiful. Thank you for the professionalism and hard work.

Old version worked flawlessly but the recent update has made the widget very unstable. It no longer updates the info automatically about 70% of the time, so you have to manually open the app to refresh the data. Also, the formatting on the widget has changed for the worse. It now shows the raw metar data underneath the decoded metar data (why? It just takes up unnecessary and valuable space) and the last airport on the widget list is cropped so you can't see all the data. Frustrating considering the old app worked flawlessly in all aspects. Hope the developers can come out with a quick fix otherwise I'll be uninstalling due to the lack of functionality, usability, and stability of the new update.

It couldn’t any better but it did with the last update. Nice job people and continue the great work.

Nice update, but complication shows "not set" on Apple Watch screen. Yes, I do have a station select on Widget and Apple Watch options.

This app keeps getting better and better. This version is the best yet. I live the new notes section and the cloud sync. I use this app everyday I fly - there is not anything better in the App Store. Great job.

By far, this is the easiest and most convenient app for those quick weather checks or to trend / plan a weather for a flight.

Cannot use Apple Watch functions!!

Congratulations the App that was quite good is now useless.

Great app. I can get all this with ForeFlight, but frequently I just want to know the weather, right now! I use the Pro and it syncs between my iPhone, iPad and Watch. I especially like the runway diagrams with graphical display of crosswind component.

I really like this app, I have been using it for years both personally and professionally at work. The developers are very responsive, I have sent emails a few times and they always respond. Recently I suggested they add a barometric pressure trend arrow to the main report page (previously it was only visible when viewing station list) and I was quite pleased when they did. I recently purchased an Apple Watch, and have been playing with that interface. It’s too early for me to formulate an educated opinion, but it seems to work. Had a couple issues getting weather to update on the watch but I believe I have it figured out now. Overall a great app, thanks for the quality product.

As an Experimental Aircraft builder/pilot, Aeroweather Pro is my first look as I preflight my weather. It uniquely cuts through the clutter and presents what matters. Most recently I required assistance from their product support folks. By asking the right questions, they were able to resolve my issue quickly. Well done!

No longer works on the iWatch. Very disappointed. New iPhone X and old iWatch don’t seem to be compatible.

METAR/TAF Ali Al Sealem (KQGV) METAR: No data is available. TAF: No data is available. Sent from my iPhone

After updated apps, no notam info available!

This is great. One of my most used apps. Obviously useful for traveling but also as an active outdoors person, the tafs and metars are hugely informative for activity planning.

I like the app but I cannot get the widgit to work on the Apple Watch with the recent Awroweather upgrade.

Thank You for many years of easy to use accurate useful information. Well done

The old version was much better. It was a big help when you were able to see nearby airports on a map view.

For quite a while now the Apple Watch app doesn’t work. It’ll update and show information 3-5 hours old. Using the Refresh button doesn’t do anything. We can’t get this corrected.

Just updated with the latest release. Lost 2 years of data that I use daily. DO NOT UPGRADE THE APP. App had the best indication of x wind components allowing for quick interpretation. The update now has runways depicted and it’s a real chore to pick out the data you need. Get rid of it and go back. Talk to users BEFORE MAKING BAD CHANGES.

This is aviation weather done the right way. If you need TAFs and METARs and don’t want a lot of graphic crud getting in your way, this is the app for you. The extra stuff like sunrise/sunset, density altitude, GMT and local times, NOTAMS, decoded weather, and much more just throw it over the top. The recent addition of iCloud syncing of airport lists is worth the extra $2 and makes the app even better. You’ll still want to get a briefing, but this is the best app out there for quickly figuring out “what’s it going to be like when I go fly today?” The only thing missing is a few charts. Surface analysis and prog charts would be nice - but they’re not necessary here. I’d pay for an upgrade to get them though . I love this app, and have used it for many years. I’m always looking for something better, and nothing comes close.

I paid for the pro version of this app years ago, and the entire time the watch complication has been hit or miss. Sometimes it works sometimes it says nothing set in the widget. To make matters worse the developer, instead of fixing bugs, has now rolled out additional features that require an in app purchase (even if you already paid for the “pro” version).

Ok, the interface was rearranged and it seems ok but I’m not sure this great app needed rearranging. In the past, I’d easily give this app a 5-Star rating. Today, I’d call it a 3-4.

The Apple Watch Complication is terrible. It won't update properly and often has to be reset.

The best METAR-TAF app I've found. Easy to use and works great on my Apple Watch. I can see my home airport METAR on my watch face and I use it all day, every day. Great app.

Love(d) this app. But with the recent update the home page widget now defaults to current location not what selected in app on widget page. Kinda a bummer.

Apple Watch app worked well before latest update. Now I have to constantly trigger the complication on the watch to make it update to the latest information. Please fix.

Great app for all my scheduled flight operations providing access to all relevant airport wx and other essential data. The search features for airports is particularly useful for adhoc and charter operations and helps me with situational awareness and a host of other airport and country information.

This has become my go to aviation weather app for quickly checking on current conditions. A top pick for aviators! Update: lowered to 3 from 5. No matter what I do the AppleWatch will not pick up the iPhone’s watch list. If does not crash will display no list error message.

I'm on the Pro version. My watch hasn't updated in two weeks. Not worth the money.

New version downloaded. Lots of great new features. Layout is good.

Used to love the app, but I’m so frustrated with the Apple Watch app not working I can’t give more than two stars. I’ve tried everything

This update is simply not good v

Thanks for making my life more complicated!

Was the best app EVER for the first year I used it. Now the app freezes about 30 seconds in to using it, and sometimes automatically crashes and closes. To get it to work again I have to quit the app and re open it. FIX THIS!

This is a great and useful app that I use daily, but the UI update in 2.0 seems unnecessary to me: - What’s wrong with the old sunrise/set time display? It was perfectly good and now it’s all messed up with misaligned text and symbols, and emojis?? - The text size is too big for the 4” screen, runway info is all ways cropped off if the runway width is more than 100 feet. No big deal but again, the previous version was perfectly fine & succinct, why change? - Widget flat out stops working, says I have no airport selected in the Widget folder.

This has become my go to aviation weather app for quickly checking on current conditions. A top pick for aviators!

New version downloaded. Lots of great new features. Layout is good.

App keeps locking up in IOS12.

I upgraded from the lite a few months ago after a having the lite for years and was pleasantly surprised. Nice app and I like the integration with Apple Watch. It’s very helpful. It’s irritating to have so many things to buy. It’s like the MyRadar which is super annoying. I’d rather pay one fee and get it all but I understand catering to different needs. The Apple Watch loading was super slow and I’m glad it was updated. I’d like to see the Apple Watch app be independent of the iPhone so you can check weather without the phone being around. I’d also like to see NOTAMS grouped as a list (all stations) or instead of having to go to each airport. Also, is there a way to add winds aloft near your airport? Thanks for your hard work on this app. ===21 Oct Update=== Apple Watch metar update is so slow it’s unusable. It doesn’t update when you hit refresh and it refreshes about once a day if any. I’ve reset both phone and watch and reinstalled on watch. The previous update was much better even though it was 2-3 hours between updates. Please fix. ==22 Oct Update== Quick response, or maybe I was too quick with the updates. Apple Watch METAR now updates when you hit refresh and updates by itself around 1-2 hours. The display symbol instead of text does not work on the Apple Watch 4. It is always the symbol even though the complication overview shows VFR.

I use this app daily. The developer has always been quick to respond to my questions. I highly recommend this app to anyone who wants to get a quick look at current weather conditions at airports. Unfortunately when using with my Apple Watch 2, the app works on my watch for a day or two then I see “No airports defined”.

Yet another app that has transitioned from in-app purchases to subscriptions. Customer service is pitiful as I’ve waited months to have my concerns addressed. Features are great, future is not.

I literally use this app every time I fly. Well done!

I am a flight instructor and look at weather constantly. Just bought a Apple Watch 3 and this app works great! Put airports in group called "Wigit" and they show up. Very happy.

There is no other app better for aviation professionals. I use it on every trip and then some. Seriously, it is such an easy to use tool that makes life so much easier for the part 121 and 91 communities.

As a pilot, this app is great for getting weather and NOTAM info for my flight. Very easy to use and works great!

With great technical support Thank you

App works great on iOS but not on Apple Watch. Data sometimes will reliably update each hour but sometimes several hours pass without updated data.

Aside from the great utility as an aviation app, I also use this as my instant-weather report app when I get up in the morning. I like the new runway XWind info; quite handy and easy to glance at when coming into an airport environment; especially at the many untowered airports. I also appreciate the minimal data usage that the app employs to update the weather so that my limited data plan doesn’t get depleted. Other weather type apps are much more data hungry.

I paid for the pro version of this app years ago, and the entire time the watch complication has been a buggy mess. To make matters worse the developer, instead of fixing bugs, has now rolled out additional features that require an in app purchase (even if you already paid for the “pro” version). Maybe it’s time to fix problems instead of coming up with ways to scam more cash from your users.

The app itself is very good, and it works efficiently on my iPhone. The developer responds quickly to requests for airport database updates and corrections. As a soaring pilot, this is my goto app for initial planning.

Just updated with the latest release. Lost 2 years of data that I use daily. DO NOT UPGRADE THE APP. App had the best indication of x wind components allowing for quick interpretation.
