METAR Widgets 1.7

Stay informed about current conditions with a detailed METAR widget, conveniently placed on your device's home screen. These widgets boast a sophisticated design to offer crucial information at a glance while blending harmoniously with iOS17's design principles.

Here are some key features that set these widgets apart:

• Themes: Customize your widget with either a subtle theme that harmonizes with your iPhone or iPad's aesthetics or choose a bold, colorful theme that demands attention.
• Intelligent Display: Widgets can automatically determine which weather parameters to showcase, prioritizing unique weather phenomena and essential flight conditions like visibility or cloud cover. Wind data is always prominently featured.
• 'Retro' Mode: Opt for the 'Retro' theme to view the raw METAR text, perfect for practicing interpretation skills or exam preparation. Pro tip: stack both widget types for seamless switching between them.
• Real-time Updates: All METAR widgets update dynamically in the background, ensuring you have the latest information. You can manually refresh the data by launching the app.
• Dark Mode Support: The widgets seamlessly adapt to your system's light/dark mode, enhancing readability during nighttime. Colors throughout the app and widgets are meticulously optimized to reduce eye strain in low-light environments.
• Full METAR View: Tap any widget to access the comprehensive details in the app, switching between visual and text representations as needed.
• Save Favorites: Easily manage and save your preferred stations within the app, streamlining the process of setting up new widgets.
