A weather app with actual personality
CARROT insults you while giving the forecast and I love it. "It's so cold even the polar bears are judging you." Makes checking weather entertaining. Unique in the entire App Store.
Choose your data source
Switch between Dark Sky, AccuWeather, Weather Underground, and more. Compare forecasts from different sources. No other weather app lets you pick your data provider. Brilliant.
Best Apple Watch weather app
The Apple Watch complications and app are the best in the weather category. Quick, informative, and customizable. CARROT on Apple Watch is reason enough to subscribe.
Customization is incredible
Choose what data to display, arrange the layout, pick the personality tone, select the data source. The level of customization makes it feel like your personal weather app.
Subscription cost adds up
Free tier is very basic. Premium for $5/month or $20/year unlocks the good stuff. For a weather app, paying $20/year feels like a lot even though the quality justifies it.
Widgets are gorgeous
The home screen and lock screen widgets are the best-designed weather widgets on iOS. Customizable colors, layouts, and data points. My home screen never looked better.
Secret locations are a fun easter egg
Finding hidden locations and achievements by using the app adds gamification to weather checking. The secret locations around the world are a delightful surprise.
Time Machine lets you see past weather
Looking up historical weather data for any date and location. Planning an anniversary trip? Check what weather was like last year. The time travel feature is practical and unique.
Humor gets old for some people
The snarky comments were funny for the first month. After a year, I switched to the professional personality mode. The humor is CARROT's identity but it's not for everyone long-term.
Precipitation notifications are Dark Sky level
Rain starting and stopping notifications are as accurate as Dark Sky's were. With Dark Sky data powering CARROT, you get the same hyperlocal accuracy with a better app around it.
Weather maps with personality
The radar and satellite maps are functional and clean. Temperature, precipitation, wind, and pressure overlays cover the essentials. Maps with the occasional CARROT commentary.
Indie developer quality
Made by one developer who clearly cares about the product. Updates are frequent, bugs get fixed fast, and user feedback is incorporated. Supporting indie development that's this good feels right.
No Android version frustrating
My partner on Android can't use CARROT. For families who want the same weather app across platforms, the iOS-only limitation is a real drawback.
Only weather app I've ever paid for
CARROT is the first weather app worth a subscription to me. The combination of accuracy, personality, and customization creates an experience I look forward to using. Worth every penny.
Siri Shortcuts integration
Custom Siri Shortcuts for weather queries with CARROT's personality. "Hey Siri, CARROT weather" gives me the forecast with attitude. The integration with iOS features is thorough.
Climate data and trends
Showing climate normals and trends alongside current weather adds context. Knowing today is 5 degrees above the historical average puts the forecast in perspective.
Notifications that make me smile
"Bundle up, meatbag. It's cold out." Getting weather notifications that are both useful and funny is a daily delight. CARROT turns mundane alerts into entertainment.
Mac app extends the experience
CARROT Weather on Mac sits in the menu bar with quick access to forecasts. The desktop version extends the iOS experience to your computer. Full-featured Mac citizen.
Wind and UV data are useful
Detailed wind speed, direction, and UV index forecasts. For runners, cyclists, and outdoor enthusiasts, the wind and UV data helps plan activities beyond just temperature.
The anti-Weather Channel
No ads, no data selling, no bloat. Just excellent weather data with personality and customization. CARROT is everything The Weather Channel app should be. Pure weather.
