What's New in WillyWeather

3.3.4

August 6, 2026

For users updating from 3.3.0/3.3.1/3.3.2/3.3.3 to 3.3.4: - General bug fixes stability updates For users updating from 3.3.0 to 3.3.1: - Fixes intermittent crashes - Improves wayfinding for the map screen by helping users find the new layers screen For users updating from 3.2.1: Big update, this one. The headline is Layers: interactive weather maps built right into the app. NEW • Layers. Satellite, wind, wind gust, swell, rainfall, UV and more, opening framed to your location. Pins you drop sync across your devices. • Offline forecasts for WillyWeather Plus subscribers. No internet? Your most recent forecast is still there. • The live cam map now has a button to get back to the camera list. FASTER & SMOOTHER • The forecast shows as soon as it loads instead of waiting on maps and cameras. On a slow connection this can save a good 10-20 seconds. • If your connection is struggling, you'll get a retry option after a few seconds, not an endless spinner. • We also cut CPU usage, fixed memory leaks, and stopped GPS from draining your battery in the background. • Skip back or forward on a cam, and you'll now see how far you jumped. FIXED • Duplicate severe weather warning notifications. • Rain alerts open the map at the alert location, even if you've travelled away from it. • Current wind conditions disappeared in calm or variable winds. • The Sun forecast was blank at far-northern spots like Anchorage. • Moon widgets showed the wrong image during the waxing gibbous phase. • The River Level graph showed yesterday's data after midnight, and didn't resize when you rotated an iPad. • Swell and Tides screens could go blank or wrongly report "no data". • Wind and swell graphs lost hourly detail on the 3 and 5 day views. • Stale dates and the occasional freeze after the app sat in the background for a long time. • Brief error flashes on first launch and when switching countries. • The custom default graph refreshes as soon as you reset or enable it. • Pinch-zooming the map no longer drops an accidental pin. • Changing country in Settings now takes you to location selection like it should. • Apple Watch: complications that stopped updating, clipped pressure values on small faces, and hourly complications showing a logo placeholder. • Free users could get stuck on an endless loading screen while offline. WillyWeather now requires iOS 16 or later. Layers needs iOS 17.

Scam ads

I like the app but some of the ads are outright scams with fake endorsements from Gina Rinehardt and Alan Kohler. Take some responsibility!

Paul Smith

Very easy to use, does exactly as I need

Stop the ads on the radar screen

Jeez! If I wanted to upgrade, I would. Now I have to keep closing out and restarting the radar because the ads to upgrade keep returning.

Alerts

What’s happened to rain alerts (incoming) and weather warnings? I live in Bentleigh East and we have received a lot of rain in the last few days. Also, I was in the Blue Mountains and NSW Central Coast last week and it rained but Willy Weather was silent. Follow me is on for both location and alerts. The on announcement that works is the daily forecast notification
Checked and tested all settings and they are all enabled

UNBEARABLE ADS

The ads are SO UNBEARABLE AND LONG compared to other money grabbing apps. I just want to look at the rainfall. It doesn’t even make me want to get premium. It just made me uninstall and find another app that does the same thing but better for free. Disgusting
