![]() Not surprisingly, Carrot Weather is also one of the first weather apps out of the gate to add support for iOS 14 Widgets, and it’s got quite a variety of them to offer too. Still, if you’re looking for more sophistication there are plenty of other options available, and if you like your weather with a serving of snark on the side, then Carrot Weather is the one for you.ĭon’t let its attitude dissuade you though, as it’s a great all-around app for weather enthusiasts too, and you can certainly tone down the commentary if you prefer to get your weather straight. ![]() It goes beyond what a regular weather app would and gives me exactly what I want, with no complications in between.ĬARROT Weather is available on the iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, Apple Watch, Apple TV and Mac.The built-in weather app in iOS 14 isn’t bad at getting the basics down, and with the advent of widgets and Apple’s recent acquisition of Dark Sky, Weather has actually been enhanced to provide more detailed forecasts for things like rainfall predictions. With that said, CARROT Weather 5.0, by no surprise at all, gets a 4/4-star rating from me. I literally have no complaints about this app whatsoever. I cannot tell you how important that is where I am at (Des Moines, Iowa) where there literally has not been a day in February where it has not snowed.Įven though I do pay $24.99 a year for CARROT Weather, as I am a Tier 3 subscriber, for someone like me who uses the app on almost every device that I have (iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad and Mac), it is easily worth the money. ![]() Maybe I just have big fingers?Īs always, the app still provides its excellent notifications, such as when no weather alerts are out and when the snow is going to begin soon. It previously had this small drop-down arrow in the top-right corner of the app, which was not always easy to tap on the first or second…or third attempts. I do like that the app has a gray bar on the bottom for features like accessing your weather, other locations, radar and settings. It also helps that the icons are mostly blue, which is my favorite color. Its iOS 14 widget also got a slight new look with the new weather condition icons, as mentioned earlier, and newer, more vibrant colors. Whether its cloudy, sunny, partly cloudy and so forth, every single icon has been redesigned, giving it a new look.įor someone like me who is not always big on changes like apps that I use everyday, this is a design change I am completely on board with. This was great for its time, but with the new update, I now have access to six new types of weather screens.Īt this time, I have been using the new default screen because I like the refreshed look and that it gives me more data this time around, including when the sunset will come (specifically, what time), what the wind speed is going to be like and how much snow/rain I am projected to have that week.Īnother big part of this update is the weather condition icons. Previously in CARROT Weather, it only gave you options for one type of screen, which was the main weather screen where it gave you all of your weather data in the app. ![]() I have been a CARROT Weather user for at least a couple of years now and can say that this new update is quite the change, but in a good way.įirst of all, let’s talk about the design. ![]() It was quite the big week for apps because of Tweetbot also getting a big new updates with its sixth version of the app. A couple of weeks ago, CARROT Weather 5.0 was finally released to the public. ![]()
