Hi All,
Weather Gods 1.8.1 is now live on the App Store.
The main changes are:
- Support for new iPad Pro models
- You can now toggle notifications for individual locations
- Voiceover users now have access to the latest observation - you will find this after the current forecast label.
- Fixed the widget not always working on the iPad
- Chinese localisation
- Many bug fixes and performance improvements throughout.
Hi All,
Our latest update should be hitting the App Store shortly.
The main change for this update was to improve the weather description in the notifications for rain, snow and thunderstorms. Previously you would receive "Light Rain" even if it was just a few showers or drizzle. Hopefully more useful.
Hi All,
We have just released our 1.8.4 update.
This is just a small update with the following changes:
Hi All,
Weather Gods 2.0 has been approved by Apple and should be hitting the various stores soon.
There is a lot that has gone into 2.0.
- Severe weather alerts for the USA, Canada, UK, Germany, France, Spain, Greece, Norway and Italy. I may add other European countries depending on demand. Canadians can choose English or French for the alert text.
- There are two new Siri shortcuts. You can ask Siri if there are any weather alerts for your current location, and ask Siri for the current weather conditions.
Hi Everybody,
Just a quick post to say that Weather Gods 2.2 will be hitting the App Store today.
The main changes are bug fixes, especially around iOS13, localising warning information and the Siri Watch Face.
I'm still working on porting Weather Gods to the Mac - it's a slow process, also being found by other developers as well.
As ever, if you're enjoying Weather Gods but haven't left a review on the App Store then we would love to hear your feedback please. There is a direct link in Weather Gods settings.
Hi Everybody,
Just a quick post to say that Weather Gods 2.3 has been released to the App Store.
The main changes are:
Hi All,
It's been a long time and I hope everyone is well and taking care in these difficult times.
After six months of work, Weather Gods 2.4 is finally done.
The reason for taking such a long time is I had to re-write the app from the ground up in order to support current and future iPhone and iPad devices released by Apple. The old WG was hand-crafted for every new device Apple released and Apple have informed their developers that all screens have to adapt and they wont accept new updates from apps that don't do this.
Hi All,
Our latest release contains many bug fixes and a few new features
What's New?
Hi All,
Some updates from us ...
2.4.2 is released today and mainly focussed on
Hi All,
After months of coding and testing we finally have Weather Gods working with our new weather Provider, AerisWeather.
There is good and not so good news...
Hi All,
Important. We will be switching off the IBM data service on October 31st. I realise it's earlier than November 14th but I would like to avoid IBM charging for a full month of data when we will only be using half of it. Please let anyone know who hasn't yet upgraded.
Latest update should be hitting the App Store in the next 24 hours.
What's New?
Hi Everybody,
These updates seem to come around quickly :)
Release 2.5.2 should be hitting the store soon.
The main update is full support for iOS14 widgets, in small, medium and large configurations.
The widgets can be customised for any of your favourite places, edit the widget and choose a place from the list. If you don't have any favourites then the last location you viewed should be in the list.
The widgets update on average once an hour, sometimes sooner, but out of our control - it's down to the device.
Hi All,
Another day, another WG release :)
This one has one new feature and a critical bug fix.
The new feature is that widgets now support current location. If you edit the widget you will find "Current Location" in the list. Setting this will mean as you move locations the widget automatically updates for the new location. A bit like our follow me feature.
You can still add other locations by adding additional widgets.
The bug fix is a critical fix to a crash that occurred when viewing UK or French weather alerts.
Hi All,
2.5.5 should be hitting the app servers soon.
This is an important update as it paves the way for subscriptions.
Please check the about page in settings as this will tell you which kind of subscription the app thinks you are entitled to - everyone should get premium.
The plan at the moment - to be tested in the next beta - is to automatically grant a life time premium subscription to users the app identifies as having previously paid. The mechanics of how this happens are still to be determined, but I will share with you when I know more.
Hi All,
Hope everyone is keeping safe and well.
Weather Gods 3.0.0 is going through a phased roll out. This means everyone should get the update over the next seven days, however, you can update sooner with a manual update.
This update switches us from a paid model to a subscription model and hopefully means the app can cover its data costs going forwards.
Anyone who has previously paid should receive a lifetime premium subscription.
This needs to be activated by:
Hi All,
Just a small update with a ton of bug fixes and a few features, changes.
1. The Weather Wheel is now part of the premium subscription. I didn't really want to do this but we have approaching 25,000 people on the free tier with an average cost of $1 per user per year. So far about 30 subscribers ... not a great business model !
2. You can choose to display wind speed using the Beaufort scale - it's in settings, under units.
Hi,
Dropping by to let you know we have released an update to Weather Gods.
There are many changes and bug fixes but the highlights are:
Hi All,
Hope you're all having a good Sunday!
Just released a bug fix update which addresses problems people have been having with:
- Series 3 and 4 Apple Watch issues, including Voiceover 'dead silence'
- Follow me not really following you. Now it should be working
- A bug fix with the humidity value being incorrect
Thanks
Scott
Hi All,
Hope everyone is keeping well.
We have a new release up on the App Store, which brings some new features.
Weather Station
You can now choose the type of weather station that Weather Gods queries for the latest observation. The default is Metar and this generally means airports providing the observation data.
We also have PWS which is a popular network for home based weather stations. One of our users has successfully added his weather station to PWS and now the data is showing in the app.
