AeroWeather Pro Reviews

I paid for the pro version of AeroWeatherPro years ago, and the entire time the watch complication has been a buggy mess. As other reviewers have noted the complication doesn’t show anything when you first install it, and requires some magical combination of force touch and hacks to get it to finally display the weather. Sometimes it won’t display anything for day until it decides to start showing weather.

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.

I am a long time app user, having purchased the Pro version years ago. I also purchased cloud sync and subscribed a few years back. This summer, the D-ATIS update started my issues. I sought support, but received no response for 5 months. When the Captain subscription became available, I decided to give it a shot in case it would help fix the issues with AeroWeatherPro not working, but to no avail. Now I can’t access the features I paid for, and cloud sync stopped working. I have requested support multiple times, but my support requests are going unanswered. I wish the developer would have kept the core app working like it used to. All these added bells and whistles have only lead to a worse app. I am about to give up and move on. I’d recommend not purchasing AeroWeatherPro until the developer gets it working properly. He’s taken my money, and all I ask is to receive what I paid for.

I use AeroWeatherPro a lot for work but the complication function for the Apple Watch leaves much to be desired.

1. Even if you select airport on tap, when you tap the complication it takes you to your airport list, not the airport on the complication.

2. Synchronization doesn’t work. If I add a airport to the watch group in the iPhone it doesn’t synchronize to the watch. But if I add it via the watch, it synchronizes to the phone. So if you add it to the phone then hit synchronize, your watch will delete it since that’s like the master list.

Great weather app— I use it all the time. However, efficiency of use matters a lot to me and I was very much looking forward to the lock screen widget feature. In the Widgets section, you can add your favorite airports, and to my knowledge (unless I’m doing it wrong) the airport at the top of the Widget list is meant to be displayed on the lock screen widget. KORD is the only airport that shows on the lock screen widget, and I don’t even have KORD in my regular list let alone my widget list. If this were not an issue, I’d give 5 stars. And if this is not an issue for you and you already have Foreflight, I would just stick with the free version of AeroWeatherPro.

can you lower the number for Apple WatchOS number so I easily buy from there and I don’t know why my Apple Watch want to software update and can you make it for easier AeroWeatherPro with a new update and lower the WatchOS number on Apple Watch so it will be easier and I AeroWeatherPro but I deleted it and I can’t get it back on my Apple Watch so can you lower the watchOS number on Apple Watch so it will be easier please thank you and can you get rid of that thing that says Require WatchOS a number and later as well please because I really want to bring back to my Apple Watch and it will be easier for me please thank you and I would appreciate it thank you

Love AeroWeatherPro 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.

Used the free version for a couple months and have really liked the upgrade. Two features I would suggest potentially adding-
1- If there was a way to access the digital ATIS for airports that have it, that would be great.
2- Adding a feature on the Apple Watch to access user notes on each station. This is where I keep track of door codes and it would be great to get it right from my watch instead of having to pull out my phone and open AeroWeatherPro .

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 AeroWeatherPro 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 have had AeroWeatherPro loaded since January of 2011, that is over 11 years. It has continued to improve over all of those years. I have turned many pilots onto AeroWeatherPro, while the professional pilots cannot use AeroWeatherPro in an official capacity they like it as a quick informal reference. For a nonpilot but one who frequently flies AeroWeatherPro is dead handy to check out the weather conditions at your destination airport for planning.

I’ve been using AeroWeatherPro for several years. I like it so much that I’ve upgraded. I’m a GA Pilot in So California and this is always my first app to look at for aviation weather. Great presentation, terrific upgrades, especially like the preferred runway highlight. Much quicker and easier than ForeFlight for quick complete airport weather in an area. Easy to set up custom areas or groups of airports for where you like to fly. Use it on an iPad mini and iPhone.

I love AeroWeatherPro but cannot get the Apple Watch complications to work: ((( The “long press” to add station & refresh button do not seem to be functional: ( on my hardware... I’ve uninstalled/reinstalled app as well as the watch station list itself. That being said Still the Best Aviation WX app available hands down. I’m continually amazed/impressed by all the features and upgrades that go into this application... You can tell that this company is passionate about what they do, the product speaks for itself!!!

I’ve had aeroweather pro for many years. I fly for a living and it’s my number one source for METAR/TAF and NOTAM info. I like being able to scroll down and see the airport diagram along with headwind/crosswind info for each runway. It’s great being able to toggle between decoded and raw data. I really like the NOTAM display which includes red bars to the left if it’s currently in effect. I recommend the pro version for anyone who wants an easy to read and always up to date source for weather and NOTAMS.

This is the best app that I have found for aviation weather. It provides METARs and TAFs for airports throughout the world and also provides other information about each airport, such as a diagram of the runways with the wind directions (and cross winds) indicated. It also provides information about delays at commercial aviation airports, extreme weather (temperatures and winds) at airports throughout the world and earthquake locations and intensity. I use AeroWeatherPro every day, whether I am flying or not (I am a student glider pilot).

I've used AeroWeatherPro for years in my capacity as a pilot for a major airline and it is a vital tool on which I rely every flight. And the improvements they've made over the years have made a great tool even better! In fact, the only thing better than AeroWeatherPro , is the unequaled customer support I've received from Pascal and his team as they worked to fix some minor issues I had after one upgrade. If I could could this product and team 10 stars...I wouldn't hesitate!!

**Pros:**
1. Program is exceptionally built.
2. Offers numerous features that are highly beneficial for forecasters.
3. Superior and more accurate information compared to other apps in the market.
4. Prompt and effective customer support. Upon encountering an issue, support staff provided immediate assistance and walked through the solution process after receiving the error log.
5. User-friendly interface once familiarized with.

**Cons:**
1. Presence of multiple versions of AeroWeatherPro (Lite, LITE, and Pro) can be confusing for some users.

**User Feedback:**
- Initially, the user experienced challenges with the widget function, which was later discovered to be a misunderstanding on their part. After guidance from AeroWeatherPro 's support, the issue was swiftly resolved.
- Due to the remarkable support and the wealth of information AeroWeatherPro provides, the user has revised their review from 3 stars to 5 stars.

I’ve used AeroWeatherPro for years, first the free version and then bought the pro. Great quick view of airports and conditions.

One day I noticed my home airport had disappeared from my list and nearby airports list. I figured this was going to be the tell-tale for how customer support would be. I sent the problem symptoms through the support menu in AeroWeatherPro . I heard back from Pascal within a day with the fix and all was good. It was an easy fix with settings->General->reset database. Appreciated hearing from the developers on an app I’ve come to rely on quite a bit. Great team.

I previously wrote a negative review because after an update the basic widget stopped working on my iPad, saying a subscription was required. But then I noticed it still worked on my phone. So I rebooted the tablet and it appears the widget still works.

So now that things are working as expected, I’ll join the other positive reviewers in saying AeroWeatherPro is a good one. As long as the feature set doesn’t shrink, I’ll be using AeroWeatherPro for a long time. It has an intuitive design and provides what I need to know in ways I can customize.

This is one of those apps that needs a bit of exploration to fully appreciate the scope and depth of its capabilities. With a few widgets on one of my iPhone pages I can see current and forecast conditions for the area I fly in, more completely and faster than opening ForeFlight. Among my favorite features are the wind component info graphically shown for each runway, the traffic cameras meant an airport’s location, and the easy to set Siri commands which shows the current METAR and reads it out loud like a mini AWOS. Try it out and then pony up to get full access to this fine app.

I really like AeroWeatherPro, 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.

I’ve been using AeroWeatherPro on iphone and iPad for some time, and it keeps getting better every year. I also have it on my laptop, yet the iOS app is the most used by far.

I like the “Nearby” feature, you can set distance and runway length so you have the big picture around your departure and destination.

The “smart group” makes it easy to build station lists, and these lists are synced between the iOS devices. These lists make checking the weather easy, and refreshing a station list is easy so I keep the lists and refresh when needed.

For oceanic flights a list of diversion airports is easy to maintain, also high density areas with wind and weather issues easy to keep up with weather impacts.

I use Foreflight for graphic wx, and AeroWeatherPro for details.
