### 5/5 — Greatest Weather App Ever

*2026-08-25, version 6.5*

Who doesn’t need a little snark in their life?  The customisation available it what sets this apart.

### 3/5 — Fun but pricey

*2026-08-25, version 6.8.0*

Would be a better app if it had more free features

### 5/5 — This is the best weather app, most accurate and most funny

*2026-08-24, version 6.8.0*

I would definitely recommend this weather app. It talks all the Weather app accuracy and humor is definitely a good mix 10 out of five stars.

### 4/5 — Need some work

*2026-08-24, version 6.8.0*

Doesn’t work very, very well with a VPN keep forgetting location and layout.

### 1/5 — used to be good

*2026-08-23, version 6.8.0*

but is terrible now

### 5/5 — PUFMAC DADDY

*2026-08-23, version 6.6.1*

This meat bag is the bomb he needs to listen to me more to polish up on his jokes he’s way off key must be the weather or his small computer brain

### 2/5 — Issue with rain cloud icons

*2026-08-23, version 6.8.0*

Maybe this is unique to me but I live in the midwestern US and lately this app is showing rain clouds and thunderstorm icons at dry times. I’m literally looking at the precip chart showing 0 all afternoon and it’s still rain cloud icons. The UI is super cute and good, but i NEED them to fix this for it to remain usable. —a decade-long user

### 5/5 — Meatbag enjoys

*2026-08-22, version 6.8.0*

Very good, funny weather app!    -Mr. Meatbag

### 1/5 — Worst weather app of all time

*2026-08-21, version 6.8.0*

Sunny day all day, no clouds in site and the app still shows a big cloud with rain.  Happens all the time.  Terrible app

### 2/5 — Trim and focus and make it cheaper

*2026-08-20, version 6.8.0*

I literally just did a review then an app update came through stripping even more features!

I’ve had this now for a couple of years, pay the price as it makes me smile. I pay £19.49 a year, now, for the weather, something readily available for free from lots of places, so that’s a lot!
I’ve watched the app get stuffed with unnecessary features, get messy, and slowly things getting stripped away for ‘ultra’ even basic things or just handy things like Apple car play. Now that the edge of the comedy aspect and pretty graphics is wearing off this is beginning to really annoy me, the weather accuracy has also gotten worse and having just done the app update you’ve stripped away multi day on the sonar, what next! I mean, come on. 
So, I’ll give it 6 months, I hope you’re the type of developers that look at reviews and take on board the criticism from your loyal customers … whether you act on it is your choice, but I will be cancelling and deleting if things don’t improve.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 6.8.0 — 2026-08-06

Summer is limping toward the finish line, meatbags! While you’ve been desperately squeezing the last few drops of joy out of beach trips and backyard barbecues, I’ve been busy building another update to your favorite weather app.

Air Quality Map Type
Monitor air quality around the world with this new map type. Just tap the timeline dropdown to switch between map types like radar, temperature, air quality, and more. (Premium required.)

Smoke Map Layer
Follow wildfire smoke as it spreads across the continent. (U.S. and Canada only; Premium required.)

Improved Wildfires Map Layer
Tap wildfires to view more details, including acres burned and percent contained. (U.S. and Canada only; Premium required.)

PurpleAir Stations
Add nearby PurpleAir stations for hyper-local air quality readings. Just like personal weather stations, PurpleAir observations are used in Current Observations. Go to Settings > Source > Air Quality to add a station. (Premium Ultra required.)

European Pollen Data
Track pollen levels throughout Europe. (Europe only; Premium Ultra required.)

But wait, there’s more!

- Air quality data source. Choose which provider CARROT uses for air quality readings (if your weather provider doesn’t already include them). 
- Map type picker. Switch between radar, temperature, air quality, and other map types with fewer taps.
- Offline cache improvements. Load cached weather data faster when you’re off the grid.
- More secret locations. Track down five brand-new secret locations.

xoxo,
CARROT

### 6.7 — 2026-07-15

Summer is in full swing, meatbags! While you’ve been pretending to enjoy outdoor activities despite the extreme heat waves I’ve cooked up, I’ve been hard at work on a fresh update to your favorite weather app.

Trip Planner
Track forecasts for upcoming vacations, business trips, and other multi-day adventures. Add single- and multi-stop trips from the menu button at the top of the Locations screen. The app starts with monthly estimates for trips farther out, then automatically switches to detailed daily forecasts as your departure approaches. (Premium Ultra required; iPhone only.)

Improved Custom Notifications
Custom data point notifications can now alert you right when a data point crosses its threshold instead of only at a scheduled time. That means you can finally get notified when the UV index enters dangerous territory, giving you plenty of time to slather on sunscreen. (Premium Ultra required.)

But wait, there’s more!

- Custom data point notifications for barometric pressure now notify you when pressure is expected to change by a specified amount. (Great for migraine sufferers!) 
- Custom data point notifications now use your selected weather provider.
- Notifications are now available in all supported languages.
- Added a “Show Both °F and °C” toggle to the Units screen to help meatbags who never discovered this feature in the Layout screen.

CARROT

Regional Data Source
Pull forecasts from NOAA in the United States. (Premium required.)

Find out about all-new products you can’t actually buy.
