Everything New in the iOS 15 Weather App

[Macula]

Also, do you imagine that Apple’s target demographic is more ignorant than the average person? Because that would be a rather ignorant assumption to make.

Not to get too philosophical… But while no specific person in this world could be assumed to be ignorant, the fictional “average person” certainly is.

This looks very cool but I wonder if any of these features, except the card design will show up in Sweden

 

[MacMediaNet]

Weather application of iOS 6 had the best design ever. Starting from iOS 7 the design is worse and worse.

 

[MacMediaNet]

I will still use CARROT Weather, but for a vast majority of people, Apple's Weather app is the best weather app out there.

CARROT Weather has a disgusting flat, unclear and unintuitive design.

Don't hold back. Get that opinion right out there.

Agreed. Thus more ignorant than the average person would mean very ignorant.

Ventusky is another great app. It’s not my go to for forecasts, though it has that. But the details and animation you can see in other metrics are pretty awesome.

This looks great, but if Apple doesn't finally port Weather to the iPad by the time Dark Sky goes dark, I'm getting a Surface.

(Not really, but... come on.)

Apple tells developers how easy it is to write apps that work across iPhone/iPad in Xcode with size classes and auto layouts…. Can’t seem how to figure out how to do it themselves with weather and calculator.

But will it display 69 degrees?

See post #60, up above.

 

[tagmut]

I need severe weather notifications. Where are those? Seems basic but I love the new look regardless

I think weather and maps got the best update for iOS 15 so far ..Safari is a mess still

 

[Poisednoise]

Agreed. Thus more ignorant than the average person would mean very ignorant.

I'm so confused by this - average by what parameters? Person of average height? Age? I mean, this is a totally nonsensical statement. If we're talking average ignorance, then by definition the average person is not very ignorant, only normally so.

 

[InTeCredo]

Hey Apple, make it for iPadOS, along with the calculator.

That one! I am so over with the advertisement banners and ransomware to remove the obnoxious advertisements. To this day, I never understand why it is too much work for Apple to do the native iPadOS versions...

 

[HylianKnight]

The amount of time Apple has spent all summer reverting safari back to normal they could have built three weather apps for iPad. Maybe a calculator app too

Isn’t weather on iOS already using SwiftUI? If so, the amount of work needed to put it on iPad is minimal to say the least.

So imagine ignorance is rated on a scale of 1 to 10. If you add everyone’s score together and then divide by the number of people then you’d have the average ignorance of people.

The average person can be both normally ignorant and very ignorant. Normal ignorance is based on the average, while how very ignorant that is is based on the 1-10 scale.

And somehow this discussion is no longer about the weather app

 

[Psychicbob]

I dunno. All the apps seem to get the whether wrong for my area. I’m just not sure weather I’ll use the app or not.

 

[Max Webb]

This app could very well be kept updated through the AppStore without the need to wait a whole year for a new iOS update.

You wont need to wait a whole year, just a few months.

On every forecast app I know, it tells you what it thought the weather would be. Just putting in multiple locations is so trivial I wouldn't have posted at all.

I want the actual weather - from the nearest possible location. (Or the nearest to OK - allow a minute or two for the data to get frome the detection point to me, but other than than, literal current observations.

What I seem to get from apps I have used is at, say, 08:59 it shows the weather forecast for 09:00 to 09:59. And that never updates during the next hour.

I’m not surprised by this type of post. Apple updates the weather app with fantastic features and as usual it’s never enough….when it comes to Apple. Every other company gets a pass especially for being mediocre. 🙄

Try Wunderground. It does precisely what you‘re saying you want.

Still missing dew point, which is NOT the same thing as relative humidity. This is important for those of us in dry climate areas that use evaporative (i.e. “swamp“) coolers as a supplement or money-saving substitute for air conditioning. These coolers aren’t effective unless the dew point is low enough, and it would be nice data point to see at a glance. I guess I’ll just have to continue asking. Edit: never mind, found it after all. 🤐

Just tried using their website. Dreadful - nearest historic data about 120 miles away. Extremely slow.

But thank you for the suggestion - it might work for others.

My comment started with "On every forecast app I know" - so I am hardly criticising Apple specifically.

It was more of a wish, a hope, than a criticism.

 

[Realityck]

Well, it’s a great app. But it SHOULD be on the iPad too. It would look awesome.

Right on, new weather app needs to be accessible to iPad users Apple!

That’s the caveat with wunderground, if there‘s not a participating weather station close to you, it’s pretty useless.

I still find the Dark Sky version of upcoming precipitation vastly better since it has a larger y-axis. On the Apple version you can't really tell the difference between light, medium, and heavy rain. I hope Apple continues to let DS exist.

I really like Dark Sky, but the hourly weather is a fatal flaw. It's every two hours. If there happens to be a torrential downpour during one of the hours not displayed, you have no clue and no ability to plan for it.
