Apps CARROT Weather's customizable complications

[TwoBytes]

Just checking what the situation is with carrot. Do you have to pay for notifications on the phone (EG, weather warnings, rain etc) and a middle row apple watch complication? How much is this a year? Dark sky is free. Just wanted to weigh up standalone price and what you get between the two apps.

Are 3rd party apps limited to a single interaction with the siri face? Would putting multiple forecasts on the timeline be a possibility? Not too many, but more than just "tomorrow".

You can only have a single card active in Siri's timeline at once, but I add a bunch of them with each data update and they just get filtered to the top as they become relevant.

Yes, there is a subscription required to use the complications and receive notifications. The main benefit over Dark Sky, if you don't care about all the "fun" stuff, is the amount of customization available and the frequent pace of app updates with new iOS/watchOS features.

Speaking of which...

CARROT is all ready for you to open your Series 4 boxes tomorrow!

Very nicely done! Thanks!

My watch app doesn't seem to be working.. Complications are not up to date, and running the app just shows an animation of different weather symbols. I've just restarted the phone (X) and the watch (series 3 with 4g).

(Edit: uninstalled and reinstalled the watch and that seems to have fixed it)

Hi Carrot maker! I have gone back and forth with your app for a year, just jumped in on ultra for my S4 watch. On the morning notification, I have it set for 8am yet every morning it comes at 806am. Why???

Just because so many are being sent out at that time. I'm working on improving this in the future!

 

[Akrapovic]

I'm probably wrong, but if it's late due to the amount of people setting it at 8:00, could you set it for 7:59 and get it on time, beating the rush?

Interesting. Thanks for responding

Already have it set for 7:58

Can someone explain the additional watch features available for ultra premium vs the premium service? Is it the ability to get the data from another source (underground or something)? Is it worth it?

 

[wingnut8]

Any chance on being able to have different info in each corner?

 

[eoren1]

Can someone comment on what options there are for Infograph Modular on the lower row of three circular icons? Unfortunately, the stock sunrise/sunset does not show there and really hoping Carrot allows that.

Ultrapremium is mainly for if you want to use the alternate weather data provider, Weather Underground, on Apple Watch. You also get radar (US only) on your watch, plus some additional weather map options on the phone.

Technically, it's not possible to have multiple complications from the same app in the same "type" of complication. I had a workaround for this previously where I "took over" the complication of one of my other apps if you had it installed to show weather data instead, but I haven't updated that app to support the new complications yet. I'll update that one soon, so you would be able to have a max of 2 complications in the same slot.

Currently, the options for the circular complications are: temp + condition, temp + hi/lo, temp + wind speed, wind, temp + uv index, uv index, temp + precip chance, precip chance, humidity, pressure, visibility, dew point, and cloud cover.

A sunrise/sunset complication will be available in my next update!

Thanks for the quick response! An option for two complications from Carrot in the Infograph Modular face with Sunrise/Sunset and Temp+precip chance would be awesome.

Could you add Condition + Temp + Feels like option for the corner complication (condition icon and something like "69 - Feels like 72" along the curve)? I used to use the Feels like option for the large slot on the utility face and was hoping to basically recreate that in the corner.

MakerOfCARROT: can you add auto-loop or auto-start to the radar map feature? I always want to see moving radar and don't want to hit play button.

Also, it would be nice for one-handed use to be able to open map without having to reach all the way to the top. Is there any shortcut?

 

[Avenger]

Do most people think Weather Underground is more accurate than Dark Sky? I know we are talking about the weather so nothing is perfect. I'm deciding between premium and ultra premium subscriptions.

Been using carrot on the S4 and trying to understand. Why does it take so long for the app to update temperature and conditions etc? The Apple one is instant. Last night I just had the watch on LTE, opened the app and itnsaidnit was sunny (the sun was down) and it was raining. Eventually it updated. Weird. On ultra premium too.

That's on my list!

Will look into adding those as options!

Apple's Weather app doesn't download new data as frequently as CARROT's does, so when you open the app it usually is going to download new data. Downloading data to the watch unfortunately still takes a little while, even on the newer watches.

I bought the premium service but I am confused how to set the complications. Like on the infograph circular, I only see a single choice "Carrot(5)" for each watch location. But I don't see the numerous choices Carrot provides for that location on the watch face. How do I add current temperature or precipitation in specific spots like you show in the pictures above? It seems I can only select Carrot(5) option. I would think I would see "Carrot-Precip", "Carrot-Temp", "Carrot-UV", etc..

The picture is displaying all of the options. You can only pick one.

It is configured inside the carrot app itself.

Is the screen for Siri face settings new? I hadn't seen it before, but I found it and the "show more cards" options was disabled by default. Fixed it now, it's all good.

You customize the complications in my iPhone app - go to my menu, then settings, then Apple Watch customization, then complications.

It's new as of last Monday, when watchOS 5 launched!

A combination ‘wind + precip change’ would really top it of for me

Super happy with al the rest and hard work you put into this app!

It says to leave the Apple Watch app open in the foreground. If I do that, how do I click okay on your app? Or do I open it, switch back and press okay? And should the sync be immediate or does it really take 1/2 hour?
