What's New

Minor User Interface tweaks
Local METAR for Watch App is now Independent of any iPhone connection!

App Description

Local METARs for Apple Watch is a self contained, automatic aviation weather reporter on your wrist! When you run it, it automatically finds your location then fetches, and decodes the current METAR reports for airports within 50 miles of your location. Since version 1.3 you can also add your favorite remote airports with METAR reporting from anywhere in the World! You get the reporting airports, Favorites and closest first, the flight condition (var, mvfr, ifr, lifr), and the age of METAR. Tap on any local airport, and see the full translated report with all its details. The App can even read the report to you.

Due to Apple requirements, please enable GPS on the phone before the Watch GPS will work! Do this by simply running the paired App on the iPhone paired to your watch.
