Never shows you old weather without telling you. Most aviation weather apps will happily show you a five-hour-old METAR and say nothing. AirWeather won't. Every METAR, TAF and NOTAM is time-validated against the source before it reaches your screen — anything that can't be verified is rejected rather than shown, and anything past 75 minutes is flagged EXPIRED. Go offline and you still get your last data, clearly marked as stale. You always know exactly how fresh your weather is.

Every shipping app on the App Store has gone through the same decisions you're working through right now: which screenshot goes first, what caption sits over it, which device frame to show, what color the background should be.

What the numbers say: AirWeather - METAR & TAF runs a light set with one background colour (#FCFCFC) carried across every screenshot — the listing reads as a single poster when the shots sit side by side in search results. The accent colour we picked up, #84DCEC, is the one to reuse for badges, arrows and highlighted words if you borrow this look. Hit Use this style to open the editor with these exact colours and drop your own screenshot in.
