Today there was a new version of CARROT Weather released to the public. This is Version 6.2 of the app and comes with a variety of new updates, including support for CarPlay.
Yes, that means that you can view a live weather radar right from the dashboard of your vehicle without having to pull it up separately on your iPhone or Apple Watch.
There were also updates to the app when it comes to Live Activities. Here are the full release notes from the developer:
CarPlay App: View weather along your driving route, right from your car’s dashboard! The CarPlay app functions as a GPS app, so you can input your destination and get directions from CARROT in her typically snarky style – plus, you’ll get to see all the weather along the way, including live radar, severe weather alerts, and more.
Live Activities updates: Now you can opt to have Live Activities start automatically when precipitation is in the area! They’ll be started via a notification about 15 minutes before rain or snow begins, then you’ll continue to receive updates until precipitation stops, at which point the activity will be automatically removed.
It should be noted for both the new CarPlay and Live Activities features that they will require a subscription to the app’s Premium Ultra tier. Premium Ultra currently costs $9.99 a month or $39.99 a year.
