## Review summary

Users praise AeroWeather Lite for its comprehensive METAR/TAF data, ease of use, and pilot-focused features, with strong support and regular maintenance. However, repeated concerns center on a subscription-driven model that gates widgets and features, along with reliability problems after updates—crashes, data expiration, and lost airports. Widget performance is inconsistent, and pricing changes create confusion. When it works, it’s among the best weather tools for pilots, but licensing and reliability issues limit ongoing appeal.

### Pros

- Comprehensive METAR/TAF and weather data highly useful for pilots and forecasters.
- Easy to search and read with quick access to data for any airport; strong Apple Watch integration.
- Regular maintenance and responsive customer support.
- Accurate, high-quality weather information that stands out among apps.
- Advanced widget and meteogram features (wind gusts, forecast graphs) that enhance planning.

### Cons

- Widget and features gated behind a subscription; paywall reduces free functionality.
- Bugs and instability after updates (crashes, data expiration, saved airports lost).
- Widget reliability issues (not loading on home screen, default airport cannot be changed).
- Pricing/versioning confusion and removal of Pro features, with unclear what you get under subscriptions.
