Your Essential Aviation Weather Companion
METAR Pilot delivers real-time METAR weather data directly to your iPhone and Apple Watch, making critical flight planning information instantly accessible. Designed by pilots for pilots, this powerful aviation tool ensures you always have the weather intelligence you need for safe and informed flight decisions.
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
While developing the app, we do our best to attempt to fetch METAR data for nearby/selected airports every 10 to 15 minutes, but several factors can interfere with this schedule. WatchOS functionality may block background refreshes if the watch is in "Low Power Mode" or if the battery is getting low. Additionally, since the watch uses the internet connection from your paired iPhone, a weak LTE/3G signal may prevent data from updating. If you see outdated data, tap any complication to launch the watch app and guarantee a forced data refresh.

I’ve been using METAR Pilot for a solid few weeks now. I can say that I use it everyday I fly, in my case about 4-5 days a week.
While I still do check the ATIS via radio, this app allows me to make quick go-no go decisions with the flick of the wrist. I love the wind direction and best runway feature as it helps me gain a big-picture scenario of my day before I start my preflight. Also love how you can customize the layout of what info you want to see on the watch face.
Although, my home airport doesn’t have a D-ATIS available, it is nice to see it for other Charlie’s and Bravo’s in the area. Good feature if you fly thru those airspace’s for sure.
I was having issues initially with my app/watch and the customer & tech support was very quick to respond and helpful to get me off the ground(no pun intended lol). It shows they care deeply about their product and contributing to the aviation community.
For those who complain about the subscription… the annual fee for this app is cheaper than one month of ForeFlight. I run both apps I have zero complaints about paying for METAR Pilot. The developers put in the time to create this app. If you’re looking for a freebie, then perhaps you should just consult AWC… iykyk.

Finally found a nice looking app with all the raw metar information just consistently updating. p.s. the runway selector is really helpful!
