This is just a mobile site but looks pretty easy to navigate:

Thanks for looking, I've seen all of these before and I'll probably end up with one. It looks like the wxsys requires a subscription and I'll probably take a closer look at cupitt. There are others that are out there, that include airport diagrams and much more but are way too expensive. I like the aeroweather app because it's simple and free. Cupitt will work, but you have to check multiple boxes to weed out the data you want vs. what you don't want. I just flew with a guy who had this and it was nice because it was simple. Enter the airport id and hit ok. Drives me crazy that the iphone has several free apps that do exactly what I want, but I've been searching like crazy for aviation related wm apps and the ones i like cost $150 or more.

Speaking of which...I found another app that cool. Skywatch planetarium. You can get a gps fix on your location, get a fix on one point, then use the accelerometer to point at whatever object you want. Only $9.99.. Is there anything like it on wm? I've done a brief search, but not much.
