A dashboard you'll actually enjoy checking • Outdoor and indoor temperature with today's high and low • "Feels like" temperature and humidity • Per-hour temperature trend, so you can see it warming or cooling at a glance • Rainfall today, in the past hour, and the current rate — plus weekly, monthly, and yearly totals • Colorful, modern design that's right at home on every Apple device Widgets for your Home Screen, Lock Screen, and Mac • Small, medium, and large sizes • Pick which station each widget shows • A built-in refresh button — tap to update on the spot Smart notifications Get alerted only when it matters. Create your own rules: • When a value goes above or below a threshold (outdoor/indoor temperature, humidity, rain rate, and more) — once, or every update • When it starts raining • When the rain stops • When the outdoor temperature crosses the indoor temperature Each alert can watch a single station or all of them. Multiple stations, in sync Add as many devices as you like and switch between them instantly. Your stations and notification rules sync across all your devices automatically with iCloud — set them up once, see them everywhere. Your units, your way Choose Celsius or Fahrenheit and millimetres or inches. Metric by default.
