Carrot Weather adds expanded radar and alerts with a chance of ChatGPT-fueled snark

Carrot Weather is out with an update today that brings a fun implementation of ChatGPT, expanded radar, weather alerts, lightning notifications, and more. And while you can enjoy the snarky new AI chatbot experience, you can also customize its personality.

Carrot Weather 5.10 is available now and comes with a number of new features and changes. Headlining the list is ChatGPT integration with personality.

Thanks to the wonders of ChatGPT, you can now have an actual conversation with me! Ask me to play a text adventure game, write a procedural crime drama, or tell you what I really think of my Maker. You can even fine-tune my personality to change how I’ll respond. (Note: You only get a limited number of messages for free. Due to the cost of the ChatGPT API, this feature is mainly intended as a fun bonus for those who are generous enough to tip.)

More improvements include expanded radar, weather alerts, and lightning notifications. There are also new secret locations, new ways to track severe storms, and more.

Carrot Weather 5.10 is available now on the App Store as a free download for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. Premium, Ultra, and Family subscriptions are available as in-app purchases to unlock all of the app’s features.
