About

Dateline Weather

Read full description

Dateline puts the weather where you already look: the line beside the date, above the clock on your Lock Screen. Glance at your phone and see the current conditions with today's low and high, the temperature now, or both. Six styles let you choose how much the date line shows, from the temperature alone to now, today's range, and the chance of rain or snow. The app shows today's conditions in full, previews every style on a sample Lock Screen, and walks you through adding the widget. • Six styles for the date line • °F or °C, or follow your region • Tap the widget to open Apple Weather or Dateline • No account, no ads, no tracking Weather data is provided by Apple Weather. SUBSCRIPTION The Lock Screen widget requires a subscription. New subscribers get one week free, then the subscription renews yearly at the price shown in the app. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when the trial ends. The subscription renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel it in the Settings app under your name > Subscriptions.
