Go-Weather answers one question: can I do this right now, or when can I? Pick what you do outside — grilling, golf, running, disc golf, stargazing, flying a drone — and Go-Weather tells you green, yellow, or red for every hour of the next seven days. Not a wall of numbers. An answer. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT Every activity has its own limits, and you set them. Grilling cares about wind gusts that throw ash and kill a flame. Stargazing cares about cloud cover, and only after dark. A drone has a battery floor rated against actual air temperature. Those are different questions, and a single "72° and partly cloudy" answers none of them. Comfort is judged on apparent temperature — heat index when it's hot, wind chill when it's cold — because that's what you actually feel. WHY IT'S TRUSTWORTHY Every verdict says why. "Red — gusts 32 mph" tells you something a coloured dot doesn't. When the forecast doesn't publish a value, Go-Weather says it skipped that check rather than quietly assuming everything is fine. Forecasts come from the National Weather Service: the same government data the official forecast pages use. No third-party weather vendor in between. NO ACCOUNTS There's no sign-up, no email, no password. Your activities sync through your own iCloud account, so your other devices see the same setup without you creating anything. No analytics, no ad identifiers, no tracking. MORNING HEADS-UP Every morning, your next twelve hours as a row of green, yellow and red squares, for each activity you switch on. Part of Pro. FREE AND PRO Free: one activity, chosen from any of the twelve presets. Pro ($2.99, one time): every preset, unlimited activities, the builder for making your own from scratch, and the morning heads-up. One payment. Not a subscription — there's nothing to charge rent for. UNITED STATES ONLY Go-Weather uses the National Weather Service, which covers the United States and its territories. It will not produce a forecast for anywhere else. Go-Weather is not for life-safety decisions. Official National Weather Service alerts and advisories always take precedence.
