Carrot Weather has received a notable update today with a number of improvements and changes. Arriving with the new release is the option to use new data sources including OpenWeather and regional services, a redesigned Time Machine, improved rain alerts for precipitation starting or stopping, improved location details, a new Smart Layout, and more.
Carrot Weather 5.11 is available now and comes with some handy updates. Here are the major new changes:
- New Data Sources. Pull forecasts from OpenWeather as well as four new regional weather providers (Germany, France, Norway, and Japan). (Premium required.)
- Improved Rain Alerts. Receive server-side push notifications when rain will start or stop. Not only are the new 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, these server-side rain notifications are now available in Canada, Europe, and Australia. (Premium Ultra required.)
- Improved Location Details. View monthly averages for a location in the updated Location Details screen. (Premium Ultra 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.)
- Redesigned Time Machine. Check the weather in the past or the future with the all-new weather time machine. (Premium required.)
- New Content. 6 new secret locations, 12 new fake ads, and hundreds of lines of new dialogue.
More improvements include “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,” and there’s now an “overview for the entire week to the Hourly Details screen.”
Carrot Weather 5.11 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.
