Aviation Wx that works I've used this aviation weather service for several years and I'm really glad to see that an iPhone App has been added. Excellent Nexrad and aviation information that really helps with the pilot's flight decision. I'd love to see weather time loops added.The new app adds Sectional and IFR charts. I recommend it for the pilot. - AvWx Locator review by V-tail
Warbird restorations I have been using the AvWx version previous to the my iPhone version for years and liked it a lot. The new iPhone locator version is awsome! More cool features that work great. I highly recommend it and I use it all the time. - AvWx Locator review by Chuck Wahl
Wouldnt logcn for me Couldn't get the weather part to work. The program asked for user name and password set up before initiation then kept rejecting same. - AvWx Locator review by GDR1
A Handy Aviation App, but... A subscription to the AvWx web site is required after the initial 10 day trial period. And while the subscription is not very expensive, only $5/month, all the information available on their web site and via their app is available on other iPhone aviation apps without an odious subscription. The app is a nice effort though and pretty comprehensive in its information, it's just too bad that there is that annoying subscription based requirement. - AvWx Locator review by Torv Carlsen
Needs Work Kept rejecting my initial User Name and Pwl... and $5/m is a bit priceeeeee' for items that are elsewhere and free... skip the $5/m and fix the initial log on problem and its worth it. - AvWx Locator review by Sin Loi

Local Radar - iPhone Weather Application Is your parade about to get rained on?
Local Radar does what those other weather radar apps can't. It makes interpreting NOAA radar weather maps a snap. Local Radar positions an animation of the last hour of NOAA radar composite images so your current position is centered in the map.
