What's New in Forecast Bar

August 7, 2026

Visualize Day • Pull down past refresh and your whole day plays out full screen — the sky, sun, stars, clouds and rain follow the forecast hour by hour, then loop. • It starts at the current hour and runs a full day forward, so you're watching the weather ahead of you rather than replaying the morning. • Share the day you just watched as a video, ready to send or post. • Put a condition icon beside the temperature in Settings › Data & Layout › Visualize Day, or switch the pull gesture off entirely and keep pull-to-refresh doing only that. Request a City Pack • Request a City now files a real request instead of opening an email. The city you're already viewing is one tap; any other city is one field. • Follow it in the pack list as it moves from Requested, to in the queue, to being created, to ready to download — and get a notification the moment it's ready. • Packs you asked for are marked with a star. Swipe to cancel a request or to remove a downloaded pack, and a request you cancel can be made again. • Ask for somewhere an existing pack already covers and you get that pack right away instead of a wait. A more realistic sky • The sun follows your location's real sunrise and sunset instead of a fixed 6am-to-6pm arc, and sets out of frame instead of disappearing at the edge of the screen. • Sky and cloud colors turn at the day's actual sunrise and sunset, and shift continuously rather than in steps. Settings, redesigned • Rows are grouped into titled cards in the order you already know them, subtitles wrap instead of truncating mid-word, and each row shows what it will do before you tap it. Also in this release • Current Location widgets stay synchronized with the app's City Pack after travel. • Temperature now sits directly below the condition on Compare's Now card, instead of partway down the list. • Fixed city pack requests for names typed without punctuation or with an abbreviation, such as "Lake St Louis Mo", which were previously rejected as places that don't exist. • Turning nearby city packs back on restores automatic downloading, which could previously be left switched off even though a fresh install has it on. • Installed city packs update themselves when their photos are improved, instead of waiting for a tap in Settings.

So handy

I love this app because it gives me a high-level overview of everything I need to know in one place. Plus, it’s easy to expand for more info!

Hands down best weather app!

Hands down the most customizable and accurate weather map. Not to mention the developers are super responsive to questions. I am a weather geek so have a bunch but when I want to know what it’s actually going to be doing outside today, tomorrow, even a few days from now this is thr goat.

All the Info all the time

I have Forecast Bar on my MacBook Pro and iPhone and it gets a lot of use. From whether my golf is going to happen to should I have the driveway shoveled. Tech support is rarely needed but always available.

Nothing better for the Apple Watch

I missed dark sky when apple bought it and shut it down
This is far better for a modest price
The middle complication tells you everything

Exceptional Improvement to an Excellent App

Been using Forecast Bar for years and recently wondered how it was better than Mac’s standard weather app or third party competitors. Then they upgraded its features including AI summaries and refined graphics. It is now Best in Class by a country mile with customization options to see precisely what you want in the drop down menu. Highly Recommended.
