# Boost Weather: Air Density — Density altitude for your car > Density altitude for your car (iPhone/iPad app by JonesLabs LLC.) - Source: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/boost-weather-air-density/id6810522844 (this page in markdown: same URL + `.md`) - Developer: [JonesLabs LLC](https://appshunter.io/developer/6776067274) - Category: Weather, Utilities - Price: $7.99 - Age rating: 4+ - Requires: iOS 26.0 · 14 MB - Languages: American English - Released: 2026-09-26 - Data updated: 2026-10-07 - User reviews in markdown: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/boost-weather-air-density/id6810522844/reviews.md ## What is Boost Weather? Density altitude, air density, and intake charge temp for your car, read from Apple Weather where you are and graded Green, Yellow, or Red against your own thresholds. One read on the air before you drive. Boost Weather takes four inputs, temperature, dew point, station pressure, and elevation, and computes seven more values on your phone: density altitude, relative air density, air density, humidity, specific humidity, altimeter, and the correction factor a dyno would apply. Then it grades them against a car profile and gives one verdict with the reason on the card. When the air clears every yellow and red line, the headline says what kind of read it is: Thick air, with a blue Strong pill, when the air is dense; the temperature in a word, such as Mild air; or the note that trims it, such as Warm air or Very humid. The verdict describes the air, never the car. RADAR Tap the map button on the verdict card for the National Weather Service radar around where you're reading the air, or around your custom location. Press play to run about the last two hours of scans and see which way the rain is moving, or drag the timeline to stop on one. Radar covers the United States, so the button shows only there. CAR PROFILES Start from two templates, one for forced induction and one for naturally aspirated, and edit every line: the yellow and red temperature bands, dew point and humidity lines, a tire floor, and for a boosted car the charge temperature offset and the ideal, ceiling, and knock lines. The editor lists typical offsets by intercooler type and lines by fuel, so you can set yours without guessing. OFFSETS The air over sunlit pavement reads warmer than a weather station's number taken over grass. Type what your dash shows and the difference becomes the ambient offset, with a separate highway line for Drive mode. Drive mode watches your GPS speed while the app is open and switches to the highway line above the speed you set. It stops the moment the app leaves the screen and never tracks in the background, and the speed is never stored or sent. WHY THIS READ Tap the question mark on the verdict to see every check your profile ran: your value against each threshold, what fired, and why. On a device with Apple Intelligence turned on, the page opens with a short analysis written on your device from those checks. It never changes the verdict, and you can turn it off in Settings. SURFACE When rain, snow, ice, or a storm is falling where you read the air, an orange pill beside the verdict says so: Wet surface, Snow, Ice risk, or Storm. Tap through to see what it means for grip and the hour it should clear. FORECAST A seven-day card under the verdict, one bar per day from the low to the high, colored by what the air will read at the day's warmest hour for your profile. Open any day for the hours. APPLE WATCH AND WIDGETS The watch app shows the verdict, the tiles, the forecast, a profile picker, and one-tap snapshots. Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets and watch complications each pick a metric, so a face can hold several. Between refreshes they follow the hourly forecast, so the morning shows the morning's air. MORE - Snapshots you can share with a tuner as a one-line summary, as text, or as JSON. - Manual mode for entering all four values yourself, always badged. - Custom locations: save a track, a city, or a ZIP code and read the air there. - Imperial or metric, your choice. - Works offline: the last reading stays visible with its age. - No account, no sign-in, no ads, no analytics. Your location is used to get the weather where you are, read your elevation, and record where each reading was taken. It is never sent to JonesLabs. Read the air. Then go drive.

Terms of use: https://joneslabs.dev/terms#boostwx ## Version history (last 4 releases) ### 1.1.0 — 2026-10-05 Radar before you go. • A map button on the verdict card opens the National Weather Service radar around the place you're reading: where you are, or your custom location. Press play to run about the last two hours of scans and see which way the rain is moving, or drag the timeline to stop on one. Pinch to zoom, drag to look around, and tap the X to close it. The radar covers the United States, so the button shows only there. • Widgets and complications now step through the hourly forecast a day ahead between fetches, so if the system hasn't refreshed them overnight, the morning shows the morning's air instead of the evening's. If a refresh fails, they keep following their last forecast rather than going back to the last reading you took in the app. • The location request, the welcome screens, and the Privacy section in Settings now say exactly where your location goes: it is used to get the weather, read your elevation, and record where each reading was taken, and it is never sent to JonesLabs. • Swiping a saved place in Custom location shows a grey Edit button and a red Delete button. In dark mode both had shown as blank white squares. • The one-line air line on a saved snapshot is now called its summary: Copy summary puts it on the clipboard, and Settings → Snapshot summary, which now opens with a note on what it's for, is where you change what it says. Help has a new Snapshots section. • The Reset app and Delete profile confirmations now open beside their buttons instead of at the top of the screen. Read the air. Then go drive. ### 1.0.2 — 2026-10-03 Colors that agree with the verdict. • A number turns yellow or red only when it moves the verdict's color. A green read that names a note, such as Charge above ideal, no longer shows that number in yellow beside the green pill. Snapshots you saved earlier show their numbers the same way. Read the air. Then go drive. ### 1.0.1 — 2026-09-30 A way to tell us how the app is doing. • Rate Boost Weather, in Settings under About, opens the App Store's review form directly. • After a few days of use, the app may ask once for a rating through the system's own dialog, after you save a snapshot, save a custom location, or pull a fresh read. It never asks after a failed read, never during the welcome screens, and never more than once per version. Read the air. Then go drive. ### 1.0 — 2026-09-26 No release notes. ## More apps by JonesLabs LLC - [SereneReader: RSS Feed Reader](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/serenereader-rss-feed-reader/id6776072640) - [Pulse: Widgets for GA4](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/pulse-widgets-for-ga4/id6790556420) - [SiteGrade: Security Check](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/sitegrade-security-check/id6790558285) All apps by JonesLabs LLC: https://appshunter.io/developer/6776067274 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
