![]() Especially if you've used any other CARROT apps, it needs to be on your phone.īut whatever you do, don't poke CARROT's ocular sensor (at least, if you know what's good for you). Part of me rankles a bit at having to pay for a membership after I've paid for the app, but then I haven't spent this much time in a weather app since Hurricane Irma last year and the Wunderground app was my minute-to-minute lifeline.ĬARROT Weather has personality and style. CARROT Weather v5.0 is here Its a major redesign with many new features, the culmination of everything CARROT and I have learned about building weather apps over the past six years. ![]() Thunderstorms are frequent companions in the "Sunshine State." Living in Florida, I need those rain alerts. New Look CARROT’s new design is brighter, cleaner, and easier to navigate. 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. CARROT Weather v5.0 is here It's a major redesign with many new features, the culmination of everything CARROT and I have learned about building weather apps over the past six years. ![]() 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). Carrot Weather is out with an update today that brings a fun implementation of ChatGPT, expanded radar, weather alerts, lightning notifications, and more. 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. Carrot Weather is out with an update today that brings a fun implementation of ChatGPT, expanded radar, weather alerts, lightning notifications, and more. 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.
