This week, CARROT Weather was updated to Version 5.11 that brings a handful of new features to the weather app.
Here are the updates and improvements to the app:
- New data sources: Pull forecasts from OpenWeather as well as a bunch of new regional weather providers (Premium required)
- Improved rain alerts: Receive server-side push notifications when rain will start *or* stop. Not only are rain alerts more timely, but you can also set a minimum delivery interval if you’d like to receive updates more (or less) often. Plus, server-side notifications are now available in Canada, Europe, and Australia (Premium Ultra required)
- Improved location details: View monthly averages for a location in the Location Details screen (Premium Ultra required)
- Redesigned time machine: Check the weather in the past or the future with the all-new weather time machine (Premium required)
- New Smart Layout: Automatically switch to a different layout when you look up a location that’s far away (Visit Settings > Layout to set up Smart Layouts)
- New content: I’ve added 6 new secret locations for you to track down, plus a dozen new fake ads and hundreds of lines of new dialogue.
Additionally, there were more features added too.
- Most push notifications will now replace the last notification of that type rather than keeping a bunch of duplicate notifications around in Notification Center
- Precipitation notifications now use absolute instead of relative times
- Added an overview for the entire week to the Hourly Details screen
- Added “Location” widget for the “above-the-clock” section of the Lock Screen
CARROT Weather is available on the iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Apple TV, and Mac. It currently starts at $4.99 a month.
