PilotAWOS vs METAR Plot Usage & Stats

As a pilot, you don't care about the weather a few days from now. You need the current wind direction, at the nearest airfield, for the best runway. You need the current barometer reading for your altimeter. You need to know if the field is still VFR. And you need it fast. PilotAWOS puts the National Weather Service's automated observation stations on your wrist. Instantly see the most recent reading from a nearby AWOS station. A watch-only app that doesn't waste space on your phone Works wherever you have data connectivity Has a full suite of watch-face complications Free to use; no features are paywalled. Contributions are optional and voluntary only. Data is fetched directly from the NWS, without any intermediate backends or big-brother analytics collection. Your location is used only to ask the NWS for nearby stations, and isn't tracked.

METAR Plot

METAR Plot for Apple Watch displays station models (plots) as well as raw METARs for most airports worldwide, using current METAR data. The app features two stations lists: nearby and user-defined. While the entire station database can be used offline (to add station or lookup nearby station), an internet connection is required to load METAR data. Data is updated automatically. Preferences can be set for type of flight rules and units (visibility, temperature, and pressure). Options for observation time in LT or UTC as well as sort order of user list. The app works completely independent from your iPhone and includes complications for watch faces with rectangular and circular types.
