This app does exactly what it’s supposed to. I’ve never had any problems and I use it every day. Flawless experience. -- CITYofCAGO, 2020-08-02 ### ***-- "OK, but Dissapointed" It works fine to decode METAR weather information but it doesn’t decode Terminal Area Forecasts and I can’t save anything to the Favourites. -- Knee Deep-Cayman, 2020-06-28 ### *---- "DO NOT BUY IT!" I just bought this app since I also use the free web version. This app has not been compiled for the current OS (iOS 9.3.2), thus it does NOT work. It's a rip off albeit the low price. Either provide an update or take it off the Apple Store and give us a refund. -- Nmt310, 2016-07-12 ### *---- "Unfortunately USELESS on IPh6sPlus (9.3.2)" As much as I love and trust the naked online version I am actually annoyed I paid for this but it does nothing. A wasted $0.99, even though the amount is very small still paying money for a totally useless app is despicable. For any user with the same device running the latest opsys: Caveat emptor [buyer beware]. Now it cost me less than a buck to not trust this developer. Not my loss, I assure you. -- donllively, 2016-06-28 ### *---- "Terrible" Doesn't even work on my 6 plus... No functioning at all. Better get a refund for this -- Jhcutt, 2016-04-15 ### ***-- "Doesn't give Pressure Altitude" Good looking app, but lacks features compared to similar offerings. -- AgentCircus, 2013-06-11 ### ****- "Not only for "wanna be" pilots" Nice app, simple to use. Pilot for 40+ years and find it to be a good tool. Not sure why other reviewer would think it is only for "wanna be pilots", whatever that means. Would give it 5 stars if it would open in landscape as well as portrait on iPad, usually use my iPad in landscape. Use my iPhone in portrait, so it is not a problem on iPhone. Have been using it frequently since purchase and find no other faults. Good app. Wish there were also the ability to get TAF's. -- rokmysoxoff, 2013-04-23 ### **--- "Wanna be Pilot need only purchase" This app is only good for a student pilot -- PalmPilot89, 2012-09-28 ### ***** "Works great" As a student pilot this thing is great, very easy to use and helps with learning to read metar's. -- Fastcircuit, 2012-05-21 ### ***** "Works very well, nice interface" App does exactly what it says, the interface is clean and attractive. I like that the Metar is shown coded first, makes for great practice for students. Also very nice use of the location API for airports nearby. -- Fizlestiks, 2012-04-13 [View all METAR Reader reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## METAR Reader Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Top Paid | Colombia | Utilities | #164 | ## Apps Similar to METAR Reader -
