![]() Thunderstorms are frequent companions in the "Sunshine State." Living in Florida, I need those rain alerts. I do wish Notifications weren't hidden behind an additional paywall, because, honestly, it's the one thing that's keeping Dark Sky in my Weather folder right now. With a membership you can select from either Dark Sky or Wunderground for your Data Source, switch over to Dark Mode, get access to alternate app icons, create a daily alert notification (along with a bunch of other notifications), and create customizations for the Apple Watch app (if you go Ultrapremium, you can use Wunderground for the watch app data source). There's a great radar with tons of filters (many unlockable via membership). If you dive deeper into the settings, you can also check out Achievements that reward you for all sorts of dubious accomplishments, go on a global scavenger hunt for interesting locations, and engage in a bit of time travel (to see if it really was warmer/colder/wetter/drier back in your day). Yeah, maybe you don't need it, but you'll be glad it's there. Or, you can make it a foul-mouthed, homicidal computer that despises you just for existing and using the app. You can tune it to be friendly, where it gives you positive observations about the weather and life in general. You can make it completely professional, where it gives you just the facts and nothing more. How snarky is up to you.ĬARROT Weather can be tailored to your liking. Instead of a line about what the weather's doing, you'll get a snarky message. Where things really get interesting though is when you glance below the standard weather forecast at the top of the app. ![]() The majority of the screen is dedicated to the hourly forecast, a clear-cut, at-a-glance visual of how the weather is going to play out for the day. Pressing the 10-day forecast at the bottom of the app switches over to a short description of each day's weather. If rain is eminent, there's a Dark Sky-esque graph. Some of the app’s features require a subscription, the details of which you can learn about on the App Store.Pulling data from either Dark Sky or Weather Underground (you can choose between them with a membership, more on that in a bit), the resultant display is clean and easy to parse. Along with the redesign of the iPad app, version 5.8 is another excellent update from CARROT that I encourage everyone to check out.ĬARROT Weather 5.8 is available for download now on the App Store. I’ve been spending a lot of time pairing Lock Screens with Focus modes, and CARROT’s weather widgets have been a staple when I head out for a long walk or bike ride. ![]() All weather data providers seem to be strong in some parts of the world and weaker in others, including WeatherKit, but it’s good to have another choice, especially since Dark Sky will no longer offer forecasts beginning next year. ![]() Whatever is most important to you, there’s bound to be a widget for it in CARROT Weather.įinally, CARROT Weather has added another weather data provider: Apple’s own WeatherKit service. The remainder of the widgets are circular ones that offer a long list of data points like the current conditions, the current temperature along with the forecast high and low, the change of precipitation, wind speed, UV Index, Air Quality, and more. Four of those widgets, Snark, Custom Conditions, Hourly Forecast, and Daily Forecast, are the larger rectangular variety. In addition to the new iPad design and new sections available in the iPhone and iPad versions of the app, CARROT Weather now comes with a whopping 20 Lock Screen widgets for the iPhone.
