Okay, so even if I download from App Store it'll still be a beta or is 2.5 a general release?
2.5 is the final, official release - the beta's over for now until Apple opens up submissions for the current betas of iOS 10/watchOS 3. (Should be in the next few days, judging by how long it took TestFlight submissions to open up after beta 2 was released.)
Wow Carrot, you sped things up somewhere along the line! I always liked Carrot on my watch, but I thought it was too slow. Just checked it out today and wow, what a change! Back on my watch as my weather complication!
Still waiting on Apple to allow beta 3 builds on TestFlight, but in the meantime I've finished most of the iOS 10 work and am starting to dig into watchOS 3. Found an explanation in the watchOS 3 release notes for why the complications aren't updating:
Periodic updates have been disabled for WatchKit apps that have not adopted the new handleBackgroundTask API available in watchOS 3. Please adopt this new method to ensure your app is given periodic updates.
So in other words, the app has to be updated for watchOS 3 for stuff like complications to work at all.
Great app MakerOfCarrot. I love seeing the rain coming soon since i live in the sunshine state.
This may have been answered somewhere before but I read through 10 pages and haven't really seen an answer. Without the premium version the AppleWatch Complication updates every 4 hours. If I manual update the AppleWatch app should it update the complication?
If I do upgrade to the premium version will the complication update every 30 mins?
Thanks for your time.

Yes, if you manually update the Watch app, that should update the complication.
And yes, if you upgrade to the premium version, the complication will update itself automatically every 30 minutes.
Glad to hear you're enjoying the app!
Thanks for the reply. However my complication hasn't updated today since about 10Am EST. I have opened the AppleWatch app and refreshed it, but to no avail. Any suggestions?
Does watchOS 3 offer you any more flexibility/features on updating the complication or is it still on a 30 minute interval?
What makes you think it isn't updated? Because it's not showing the same data as the main app?
Complications in watchOS 3 now get a maximum of 50 updates per day, so that's still around 2 per hour if it's updating every hour of the day. The good news is that the framework is supposed to allow for updates that are much more frequent as long as you are below that limit - so, for example, you can get updates every 10 minutes for a stretch of 8 hours. I may add an "update between these hours" option so you can get more frequent updates when you're actually awake.
It has not been showing the same data as the iPhone app nor the AppleWatch app. Right now it is just show "--°"
Can you try giving your Watch a reboot? It sounds like the complication isn't loading any data at all.
And just to make sure, you're on watchOS 2, correct?
Yup the reboot fixed the problem. I am running watchOS2. Can't wait for 3 so apps can load even quicker. Thanks for your help!
New beta is now available with some long-requested features! It requires iOS 10 and watchOS 3.
Please do not discuss new features here. If you have any issues, send a support ticket through the app or through TestFlight.

Yes, I was thinking exactly the same. Great work from MakerOfCARROT.Going to have to sit this one out til WatchOS 3 is public. Good luck everyone!
Added it to my dock and no additional battery drain.
love the changes.
installed as well. will report directly to ya if i have any issues. hopefully this update will alleviate some of the previous version watchOS 3 issues i was having.
Note that I did find a bug later today that was causing an old location name to be used in the complication, that'll be fixed in the next beta seed.
Awesome. I've been finding that randomly that both your app and a competitors app has been very good all of a sudden with location updates, but wishy washy with both that and the weather updating correctly. It's appears that some days it works and sometimes it doesn't. I'm wondering if it's the watchOS version effecting that. Beta 4 was marking things work well for both apps. Now that CARROT⁵ has been specifically updated for iOS 10/watchOS 3, I'll try to test it thoroughly throughout the day.
I installed the latest release - thank you MakerofCarrot - now my battery doesn't drain at all....love it!!

I'm having issues with the most recent beta. Location and weather updates aren't updating sometimes at all.
I had to manually refresh to get my watch to update its current location and conditions. The watch was still showing last nights location and conditions as of 10 hours ago. The watch never updated since i was halfway home from work last night.
The previous build was working perfectly and I haven't changed the settings at all.
