@Crwmlw , You will not get a better opportunity to interface with the developer of a weather app than by using CarrotWeather and sticking in this thread. Worth the $$$
Thanks for that, I'll try it. All these other weather apps I've been trying SUCK. You can't even add the complication in the center of the modular face. Can you with carrot?
 
You can. Modular is my default face and the complication provides location, current temperature, high and low temperature for the day and short term weather trend.

Yep, that's the best one! You can see an example of it as the first screenshot in the App Store (link).

How much did you pay for your last cup of coffee or bag of snack chips? This will last a LOT longer!

Without the premium upgrade, the weather data refreshes itself once every 4 hours - but the complication display continues to update every hour on the hour with the forecasted weather for that hour, so it won't really be that out of date. (The subscription is unfortunately necessary from a business standpoint - each data refresh costs a small amount of money, and this quickly adds up since the complication is updating itself every 30m of every day. It was either add a subscription or not have a complication at all!)

Ok If I pay that will it update the location every half hour as well? I travel a lot and this would be useful. I understand from a business point a view

Yep! Just make sure you get an invite to the beta after you purchase the upgrade, I've made a bunch of improvements to the location handling on the Watch - but you can't buy the upgrade with the beta installed.

Sorry I think i figured it out. I sent a request using feedback-request a feature. Sorry for being a pain in the AS_. I just hate buying something only to find out you have to pay even more even though the amount is minimal :)

Yep, that's the way to do it! I'll send your invite shortly via TestFlight.
 
Hi MakerOfCARROT, I'm a paid user and I have watchOS 3, I wonder if you made any improvements for this new OS?

Currently the "photo" watch face complication doesn't include Carrot.

You mean the OS that was just announced 7 days ago? :p

Nothing to announce on that front yet, and it's possible that even beta testers will have to wait until the official release in September. (Last year, TestFlight did not support public beta testing of iOS 9 / watchOS 2 apps until the official release.)

Yeah my bad, but the app is actually very stable on watchOS 3, no crashes or any issues so far.

Yep, I said it already but it's worth repeating. If you're on the betas and on the fence about carrot I can confirm that it's working great on iOS 10 and wOS 3 right now (which is not to say that a later beta won't break it. Or anything else for that matter)

Yea it seems to work perfect for me on beta OS 10

App working well for me, but not the widget. And other widgets are the same. Text gets cut off.

Yeah, the widgets on iOS 10 have a fixed height, so widgets that are taller than that max height get smooshed down to fit. For now, really all you can do is switch the widget type to one of the more compact ones in CARROT's settings.

The good news is, with the official release, apps that have updated to iOS 10 can show a "more info" button that will allow the widget to expand to show more detail.

So I'll probably make the collapsed widget look like the "pepperoni" or "supreme" type, and the expanded widget could show the 7-day details from "the works". Might end up getting rid of the option to customize the widget in that case, since there wouldn't be much need for it anymore...
 
Gotcha, yea I just noticed this in the iOS 10 thread. Also noticed that all the apps I'm beta testing, iOS 10 and the App Store are trying to get me to "update" to the official App Store versions and not recognizing the beta versions as a higher one. Is this a known issue?

It's basically seeing the apps as an update when they really aren't. The App Store versions are older than the current betas.

Yeah, I've seen that mentioned in a few places so it's not just you. TestFlight often has issues when new betas come out.

Got it thanks.

Fyi I'm still having the slow location updates i was having last week. It eventually does work, but much longer than it used to.
