nice podcast
I wish you would've went into more detail on customization. I can't find how to make it 14 days. I really like your layout but the tide is all I would turn off. I can't figure out how to do that. Can you please help?
Very Good as Always
I just listened to your walkthrough and loved it. I actually got a sneak preview of this app a few years ago in a former neighbor's car on the way to a party. He is fully sighted so he doesn't use VoiceOver or the low-vision features. But he had the app set on the snarky personality. It was great. Then I downloaded the app but didn't find it too accessible with VO. But it sounds like that has changed, so I think I'll re-download it once I get a new phone.
Love Carrot Weather!!
It's been my go-to weather app for 3 or 4 years.
RE: nice podcast
Thank you for listening to the podcast. Dennis, if you want to see more days in the Daily Forecast section of the Home tab, you can follow these simple steps:
On the Home tab, swipe left or scroll down to the bottom of the screen and look for the “Customize Layout” button. Double tap on it to open the customization options.
Swipe right until you reach the “Section” where you will see the “Daily Forecast” section. Double tap on it to access the settings for this section.
Swipe right until you find the “Number of Days” button. Double tap on it to choose how many days you want to see in the Daily Forecast section.
You will see different options for the number of days, such as 3, 5, 7, 10, or All Available Days. Double tap on the “All Available Days” option to see the maximum number of days available from your chosen Data Source.
The number of days you can see may vary depending on the Data Source you have selected. For instance, if you have chosen Forca as your Data Source and you have selected “All Available Days”, you will see 14 days of daily forecasts.
I hope this helps you customize your Daily Forecast section. Have a nice day!
If you are interested about my Carrot Layout. You can get it here and try it out with your Carrot Weather app that I mentioned in the podcast.
