Meet Bloop, a little companion for your everyday forecast. Fishy Weather brings Apple Weather forecasts, saved places, and ocean-inspired themes to iPhone and iPad. PLAN YOUR DAY Check current conditions, hourly weather, and available daily forecasts. Explore temperature, precipitation, wind, and more, with your preferred units and each place's local time. Read official weather alerts and follow their source links when available. PLAY THE RADAR For places in the contiguous United States, open NOAA radar and press Play to loop through recent observed images. Pause, step between frames, or choose an observation with the slider. Timestamps and the reflectivity legend help you understand what you are seeing. This radar shows past observations; coverage and imagery availability are limited. MAKE IT YOURS Save places, choose an ocean theme, and turn Bloop's commentary on or off. Use current location when you want it, or search for a place without granting location access. WEATHER AT A GLANCE Add Home Screen or Lock Screen widgets. The companion Apple Watch app offers forecasts and saved places, with supported complications and Smart Stack views. Saved weather shows its update time; background updates depend on system scheduling, connectivity, and data availability. STAY INFORMED Downloaded forecasts remain available when a connection is unavailable, with saved-data and freshness information. Weather data comes from Apple Weather, with source attribution and legal links in the app. Radar imagery comes from NOAA/NWS. Fishy Weather includes advertising. Forecasts, alerts, radar, and refresh availability vary by location and service. Official alerts are displayed when supplied; the app does not provide severe-weather push notifications. Fishy Weather is an everyday weather app, rather than a fishing or marine-weather service.
