I use Carrot Weather because it has a Dark Sky like interface as one of the styles. The weather sources (even Apple Weather) aren’t as good as Dark Sky was, but I’ve switched around and found some that work reasonably well.
Very true! I got sick of having multiple weather apps on my phone and the premium family is a great deal, $12 a year per person.
Not even close with what it says.
fyi: the free version is 100% usable. I have 3 locations saved in the free version & have paid for a month of it to AB test. The paid version has more options (as stated) but it is just fine if you are looking for a good decent weather app.
user for just under 18 months...
p.s. the optional snark is free. You can turn off all snark *if* you want, but it is fun.

Good to see the update. Would have liked to see a one time subscription.
Yeah, that really sucks. I wish Apple wouldn’t approve an app unless a lifetime option was available.
This is why they can’t, and others have also said this.
They also have a free version…

Because a lot of what can be done as a Premium subscriber incurs a cost for the developer. It would be like buying a car and paying once for a lifetime of gas. It doesn't work economically.
Clearly you've never used it. Carrot is, hands down, the absolute best weather app you can find. Is it a little corny (if you want it to be)? Sure. But that's part of what makes it unique.
Try it out for a while. You'll like it.
Have the same grandfathered plan. Carrot Weather would probably be the only app where I would consider paying the new standard rate to support the dev. The app is well maintained, looks great, always gets new features and has been around for the long haul.
I miss the days of one-time subscriptions. Seems like almost every paid app I use has now gone to a monthly/yearly subscription now.
I subscribed for the ultrapremium (or whatever the top tier is). The most important aspects to me are accurate presentation of temperature, humidity (a few km from the ocean) and UV. I ise his to help plan my outdoor activitiesin advance so I can plan dialysis safe activities/property work.
Would I pay for a lifetime subscription/ Yup, but I’m not sure that would be financially viable for the developers. When re-enlistment happens in 7 months, ima resub at the same level.
Going all-in on Civilization VI was expensive. ProCamera - same. Goodnotes, Calendars 5 and other note taking apps - not so much. Some apps (Steps - Activity Tracker is an example) cost ~a large coffee with an extra shot.
So let’s say a year of Carrot ultra-premium (not sure on the name?) is $50 Canadian - is 13.7 cents a day for 365 days worth it to me? Yes. I use Foreca as a weather source, and it seems to be very accurate for my location (NE North America).
Also purchased Weathergraph
because I like how the data is presented.
