Listing changes AppTracker has observed for this app in this storefront — new versions, price moves, rating shifts, and store copy.
NEW • Guide and Legend — built into the app, explaining every bar, glyph and color, with worked examples on the real components • Airport data updates over the air, so runways, airspace and ARTCC assignments stay current between releases • US airspace drawn from FAA NASR data — Class B, C, D and E — with international airspace as its own layer • Storm motion on NWS alerts — which way a cell is tracking, and how fast • Nationwide NWS alert regions on the map, colored by product type, with a filter for the ones you care about • Echo tops and precipitation type join radar reflectivity, each with an animated loop • Ground Stops and Ground Delay Programs now shade the ARTCC centers they cover, so you can see whether yours is inside one • High and low ARTCC boundaries as map layers, lettered along the edges • Two-finger press and hold on the map to measure great-circle distance • Density altitude now includes humidity, and breaks out how much each of pressure, temperature and humidity contributed • Full runway table — length, width, displaced threshold, LDA, PAPI, approach lighting, ILS and traffic pattern • Pressure in inches of mercury or millibars, your choice IMPROVED • Rebuilt airport Selection: Locations and Airports, with Selected, Recents and All, and search within each • Redesigned Settings, and a Selection list showing weather, wind and FAA status at a glance • TAF overview bars now carry the hour, a day/night band and a clock, and dim once a period has passed • Every active FAA program shown in the station header, not just the most severe • Volcanic ash and squall now have their own symbols • Faster, smoother scrolling and tab switching throughout • Better loading states — a station looks like itself while its data arrives FIXED • Connection status is honest: a refresh that fetched nothing no longer reports success • Alert outlines carry equal weight whatever their color • Many map, chart and layout fixes

About
Situational awareness for pilots and dispatchers — every airport you care about, on one screen. AvWx pulls AviationWeather.gov, NOAA radar, FAA advisories, Digital ATIS, NWS alerts and Apple Weather into a single operational picture, so you can read a whole day of flying without opening five apps. THE TAF TIMELINE Every TAF drawn on one time axis, instead of read as a wall of code. • Overlapping conditional groups made obvious — TEMPO and PROB sit in their own band beneath the prevailing periods, so you can see at a glance exactly which hours they cut across • Runway wind components for every forecast period, not just for the current METAR — head and crosswind for each end as the wind shifts through the day • Apple Weather's hourly precipitation overlaid on the same axis — type, intensity and chance, hour by hour, so a second independent forecast reads directly against the TAF's own periods • Flight category, visibility, ceiling and present weather as coloured bars you can read in a second • The current METAR and the current time overlaid, anchoring the forecast to what is actually happening • Day, night and twilight bands with moon visibility behind the whole timeline • Alternate requirements and likely runway configuration changes flagged as they arrive WHAT SETS IT APART • Every airport side by side — METAR, TAF, radar and advisories for all of them at once, no switching back and forth • Live radar on every airport tile, plus the nearest cell's distance and bearing • Advisories that actually reach you — SIGMETs, CWAs and NWS alerts matched to your airport's position, not just its region • See when another airport's Ground Stop or Ground Delay Program is holding your departure, with the ARTCC centers it covers shaded on a map FREE • Up to five airports • METAR and TAF, decoded and clearly formatted • The full TAF timeline, in airport local time or UTC • FAA advisories and SIGMET/CWA alerts, with live countdowns PREMIUM Unlimited airports and everything below. One-week free trial, and it removes ads. MAPS & RADAR • Radar reflectivity, echo tops and precipitation type, with an animated loop • Nationwide NWS alert regions, colour-coded by product, with storm motion vectors • Airspace overlays — tap any boundary to identify it • Wildfire smoke in two layers — satellite-observed plumes, which include smoke aloft, and a separate near-surface forecast • Satellite imagery, including a zoom straight to any runway end WEATHER DEPTH • Extended Apple Weather forecasts, hourly and daily • Minute-by-minute next-hour precipitation with a rising, steady or falling trend • Density altitude, heat index, and forecast against historical normals • Sun and moon events, twilight bands, moon phase and visibility OPERATIONS • Favored runways and wind components for the current METAR, with short-runway filtering • Decoded D-ATIS beside the raw broadcast — approaches and runways in use, wind shear, PRM, CAT II/III • Saved locations beyond airports — home, layover cities, anywhere — with full forecasts • Cloud-synced airport lists, offline-aware, with connection status and last-sync time BUILT FOR Pilots working tight turns. Dispatchers watching many stations at once. International crews managing alternates, ETOPS, driftdown and redispatch. Anyone who needs to see evolving weather across a lot of airports, quickly. An in-app Guide and symbol Legend explain every bar, glyph and colour, so nothing on screen is a mystery. AvWx is a professional supplement, not a replacement for certified flight-planning tools.
