It does so by calling the closest AWOS/ASOS ('Automated Weather Observing System'/'Automated Surface Observing System') station. These stations are operated by the Federal Aviation Administration, or state and local government. When the station is dialed the listener hears an automated report of the current weather. The report is terse and some of the information is aviation specific. The database of stations in this application contains over 2000 entries and is extracted from National Flight Data Center publications and other government web sites.

AwosWX has three views, the first uses iPhone location services to determine your current location so make sure 'Location Services' is set 'ON' in the iPhone 'General Settings'. The application's database is searched to find the phone number of the weather observation station nearest your current location. The station is dialed after displaying the city name associated with the site for two seconds. This function does not require an Internet connection to work. Note, about 200 of the entries in the database do not have locations associated with them, so these can only be accessed using the application's second view, or the direct FAA code query.

The second view displays a list of all the stations in the database grouped by state and sorted by city name. The list is indexed on the right by the state's abbreviation code so one may go directly to a desired state. Once a desired city is found in the list, tap the entry to dial the station. The list also displays the three letter FAA code and the frequency to access the station by radio if available. NOTE, this view takes a few seconds to load.
