I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention that Apple’s acquisition of Dark Sky seriously improved Apple Weather when it comes to precipitation predictions and notifications (among other improvements).Ĭarrot Weather is without doubt an excellent app that provides all the weather information you could ever need and with a very nice user interface.

As far as I know, just about every weather app has these, including Apple’s free Weather app. If you stick to the free version of the app, you’re really not getting anything that unique. The majority of the notifications are available for free, and I think these are the ones that the majority of users actually need. In order to get the lightning strike, umbrella reminder, and sunscreen reminder, you’ll need to pay for the Premium Ultra subscription tier. You can customize the app to alert you of precipitation, severe weather alerts, hurricane trackers, lightning strikes, umbrella reminders, sunscreen reminders, morning and evening reports, sunrise, sunset, and moon phase.
Related to the app’s depth of information, Carrot Weather has the capability of giving you advanced weather notifications. Just know that some of the information is hidden behind paywalls that require either the Premium or Premium Ultra subscription.Įven with the free version of the app, Carrot Weather features a huge number of graphs and charts that show you an hour-by-hour and day-by-day breakdown of specific weather information such as temperature, the “feels like” temperature, precipitation chance, precipitin amount, wind speed, wind gusts, UV index, humidity, air pressure, cloud cover, and visibility. The greatest value is in the detail that the app provides, and it can provide an enormous amount of detail on the weather. Keep in mind that you have the same control over the app’s personality with the free version as you do with the paid versions. In my personal opinion, the app personalities are absolutely not a great reason to pay for a weather app, unless you are just massively starved for humor. The personalities can certainly be funny and sometimes even make you laugh out loud, but it’s nothing more than a nice touch to the app.
