SkyCritter is a weather app with a heart. A tiny pixel critter lives on your forecast and reacts to the sky outside: napping through clear nights, splashing in puddles, bundling up for the cold, and hiding under a blanket when thunder rolls. MEET THE CRITTERS Tabby the classic kitten comes free, and a growing roster of companions is waiting in the store: • Ash, a fluffy gray cat with sass and a soft heart • Huckleberry, a golden retriever puppy who loves every kind of weather • Ziggy, a very curious raccoon who is always getting into something (new!) • Diva, a Siamese kitten with main character energy (new!) Every critter has 18 weather looks with multiple poses, plus a voice of their own. Tap your critter to hear what they think of the weather. Watch for a full moon surprise. REAL WEATHER • Accurate current conditions, hourly and daily forecasts, powered by Apple Weather • Living skies: day and night, stars, clouds, moon phases • Friendly explanations instead of cryptic error codes WIDGETS AND WATCH • Home screen and lock screen widgets with your critter and a fresh line • Apple Watch app and complications NOTIFICATIONS WITH PERSONALITY (optional, off by default) • A daily summary in your critter's own voice • Severe weather alerts SKYCRITTER PRO (one-time purchase) • Air quality and pollen indices with threshold alerts • Auto-updating widget Privacy first: your location is used only to fetch your forecast, never linked to your identity and never used for tracking. You can also search for any city manually. Terms of Use: https://mitmllc.com/skycritter/terms.html Privacy Policy: https://mitmllc.com/skycritter/privacy.html
