Cloudbase gives you a smarter forecast — purpose-built for Canada and the United States, powered by ClipperAI: an AI model independently benchmarked to outperform GFS, the world's most widely used global forecast model. No account required. No ads. Just weather. — FORECAST & RADAR — Detailed daily and hourly forecasts with temperature, precipitation, wind, pressure, visibility, and cloud cover — tuned for North American conditions from coast to coast. Interactive radar with animated playback and immersive full-screen mode, automatically centered on your location. — AIR QUALITY — Real-time AQI with pollutant breakdowns — PM2.5, ozone, smoke, and more — so you know what you're actually breathing before you head outside. Coverage across Canada and the US. — HOME SCREEN WIDGETS — A large collection of beautifully designed widgets for your home screen and lock screen. Choose from minimalist, glassmorphic, terminal-style, radial, chart-based, and more. The free METAR widget shows live aviation weather right from your home screen — no app needed. Each widget can follow the app's current location or be pinned to any city you choose. — AVIATION WEATHER — For pilots and weather enthusiasts: live METARs and TAFs for nearby stations, VFR/MVFR/IFR/LIFR flight category indicators, winds aloft, and 24 hours of historical METAR observations — all in one dedicated tab. Covers airports and aerodromes across Canada and the US. — ALWAYS READY — Background refresh keeps widget data and offline forecasts current even when the app is closed. Severe weather notifications deliver local alerts the moment conditions change. — MORE — • Apple Spotlight integration — search any city from your home screen • Share extension — open Cloudbase directly from Safari • Multi-location search with instant switching • Fully configurable units: metric, imperial, or mixed • Optimized for iPhone and iPad • Dark mode throughout Cloudbase is built for anyone in Canada or the US who takes the weather seriously — whether you're planning a weekend hike, tracking a storm, or checking conditions before a flight. ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 1.8.2 — 2026-08-26 What's New in 1.8.2: • Improved Home Screen forecast widgets so current conditions, wind, and forecast details stay aligned with the app • Added more reliable METAR current conditions for aviation weather widgets • Fixed rounding and missing-value handling for more reliable weather displays • Improved widget forecast refresh and website parity Thank you for using Cloudbase. ### 1.8.1 — 2026-07-29 What's New in 1.8.1: • Fixed Home Screen widgets stuck on “No GPS Fix” after idle — last-known GPS now reseeds the widget channel so forecasts keep showing • Fixed Edmonton Home Screen widgets so forecasts stay in sync and continue refreshing after Cloudbase forecast-model updates • Improved forecast-widget reliability and consistency Thank you for using Cloudbase. ### 1.8.0 — 2026-07-28 What's New in 1.8.0: • Cold launch now shows the full skeleton loading screen until weather is ready — no blank screen or brief red offline banner • Home Screen widgets use your current GPS location (within the last 15 minutes) and show “GPS Access Required” when a fresh fix isn’t available • Present Weather widget values now match the in-app Overview • Stale widget forecasts show their age so you know when data is fresh • Widgets correctly display cm precipitation units • GPS location requests from the web view no longer hang when permission is denied • Offline forecasts prefer the location name you selected • Home Screen widgets now render correctly in Clear mode, keeping forecast and aviation content visible against the system background Thank you for using Cloudbase. ### 1.7.9 — 2026-07-23 What's New in 1.7.9: • Cold launch now shows the full skeleton loading screen until weather is ready — no blank screen or brief red offline banner • Home Screen widgets use your current GPS location (within the last 15 minutes) and show “GPS Access Required” when a fresh fix isn’t available • Present Weather widget values now match the in-app Overview • Stale widget forecasts show their age so you know when data is fresh • Widgets correctly display cm precipitation units • GPS location requests from the web view no longer hang when permission is denied • Offline forecasts prefer the location name you selected Thank you for using Cloudbase. ### 1.7.8 — 2026-07-21 What's New in 1.7.8: • Smarter location: the app and Home Screen widgets follow GPS when allowed, remember your last viewed city, and fall back to approximate IP location when GPS isn’t available — instead of a dead-end “GPS Access Required” state • Widgets stay in sync with the city you’re viewing in the app, and can keep updating as you travel when Always location is enabled • More reliable tabs and cold starts inside the app shell • Clearer weather icons for smoke conditions, plus polished lightning on the radar map Thank you for using Cloudbase. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
