What's New in Lyja

1.12

October 29, 2026

What's New in Lyja 1.12 Lyja Pro • Lyja stays free: the forecast, radar, official warnings, safety checks and the "why not" behind every score. • Pro adds unlimited activities with your own limits, past weather for any date with On this day, each month's typical weather, the aurora map and full space weather, weather fronts, animated, radar and commute widgets, sunlight and solar panel estimates, app icons, icon styles and accent colours. • Had Lyja before Pro? You get it for life, nothing to buy. • Nothing you already set up is taken away. iPad, redesigned • Home fits the screen: the weather across the top, the next 48 hours, radar and week on the right, everything else on the left. Rearrange and resize cards in Edit. • Hours, week, day, details and space weather open full screen, laid out in columns. • Settings show the chosen section beside the list. iPhone Duo • Open, Home and the activity screen are laid out across both halves. • Folded, the temperature and conditions sit in the middle of the screen. Activities • New: Walking, for easy-paced walks. • Choose any session length with the new Custom option. Walks offer up to two hours. • Every activity you chose is always listed. One that is out of season says so instead of disappearing. Running • Run now: route, pace and what to wear for a run starting this minute. • Arrows on the route show which way to run, and the map shows the wind. • Better loops that avoid dead ends and running the same street twice. • Simpler notifications: Automatic, or set each one yourself. Forecast • A dry day's icon now follows its daylight hours, so a sunny afternoon no longer shows as cloudy. • Warnings on Home show what matters: the danger, its level and when. Turn on full text in Settings › Appearance. • Tap the sun card to open sunrise, sunset and golden hour times. • The meteogram has an explainer, and the day chart marks where the next day begins. • Air quality colours are clearer. Widgets and Live Activities • A cleaner medium widget, with a warning line when one is in force. • Moonrise, moonset and solar noon Live Activities fill as the time approaches. More places and languages • Official warnings for Austria, Japan and South Africa, and weather stations at airports worldwide. • Lyja now speaks Arabic and Afrikaans. Also • Search: tap a result to add it and open it, and results appear faster. • Many layout and alignment fixes.

Just beautiful

This app was made with such precise detail that it makes other well-established weather apps look second-class. It even includes space weather, just in case you decide to visit someday. Just beautiful through and through.

Lyja nimmt den Mund sehr voll - und liefert

Als Fan von Wetter-Apps bin ich immer sehr kritisch, wenn es darum geht, dass ich dafür bezahlen soll. Es gibt viele Apps, die nichts oder nur kleines Geld kosten. Aber Lyja ist ihren Preis wirklich wert. So anpassbar und mitdenkend kenne ich keine weitere App. Man kann seine Outdoor-Aktivitäten konfigurieren und bekommt mit entsprechendem Wetter das beste Zeitfenster mitgeteilt. Auf vorgegebene Zeiten kann man eingeben und bekommt eine Einschätzung dazu. Als Basis werden verschiedene Wetterdienste zur Verfügung gestellt; in Deutschland auch der DWD. Spannend finde ich auch die Möglichkeit seinen Photovoltaikertrag vorhersagen zu können. Alles mit den Daten seiner Anlage. Ich habe nach sehr kurzer Zeit für mich entschieden, dass der aufgerufene Preis für die Lifetime-Version es wert ist, die App zu unterstützen.
