Looks cool! As a non-pilot, I would be really interested in learning what this does.

- siralonso 6y agoThanks! METARs [1] are standardized weather reports that pilots use to evaluate current conditions. They're often reported from stations located at airports, and include (among other things) wind direction, cloud bases, temperature/dewpoint, current altimeter setting, etc. They look like this in raw text form: KMDS 150935Z AUTO 30009KT 10SM CLR M02/M06 A3007 RMK AO2 This app parses METARs into a visual representation, and displays it in a widget on your home screen. Useful for keeping tabs on current conditions! [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/METAR https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/METAR
