![]() ![]() ![]() The Dock icon itself gives away the latest radar images and current weather & temperature. It displays the latest NOAA radar station images from the whole U.S.A., where current weather conditions and forecasts are presented from all over the world. The type of weather map that I wish Carrot Weather could provide in a pro tier subsĬarrot Weather is now on the list of my must-use weather application as documented here “ Great Weather Apps for Weather Enthusiasts.” All in all, I’m happy with Carrot Weather.This stunning weather app for Mac brings live weather on your system so well that you do not want to miss it at all. Carrot Weather is no different in that respect but its design, snarky attitude and features makes it one of a kind. Developers have to be creative to set their application apart. All weather apps are built depending on a few commercially or freely available weather data.Maybe it’s part of Carrot Weather general “attitude” or it is dependant of the weather informations source? Something like “less than 5 cm of snow” or “< 5 cm” would be more realistic. It’s almost impossible to predict with such precision a snow fall. Precipitation predictions are often weird, way too precise, like 2.34 cm of snow.Rich notifications are actually rich as in “informative” and well-designed.Would it be possible to have a Catalyst-version of the application? Or to make the iPad version work on M1 Macs? It’s a matter of willingness to commit development resources. Carrot Weather is available on the Mac, but it’s a paid application where features are not on par with the iOS version, which is a shame.I wish I could set the icons style to a more serious / pro looking version.The iPhone app includes a few watch faces that can be easily installed on the Apple Watch as a mean to quick start the use of Carrot Weather on the watch. The radar view on the watch is better than MyRadar’s watch version. I like the Apple Watch application quite a lot: responsive, informative and comes with many complications.MyRadar suffers from the same flaw, by the way. ![]() While combining the radar layer with satellite map, only the radar layer is updated which is produce uncanny animated sequences.I wish I could see satellite maps without the radar layer.Being able to compare previsions from different sources with previsions quality would be a unique feature (when all sources converge to the same prevision, mark the prevision as good, etc.).But, I’d like having access to more pro weather maps used by professionals. those are obvious and of general public interest. Customization is Carrot Weather’s forte, but I do feel that some missing basic things like various weather maps beyond radar, cloud cover, temperature, humidity.The animation export as GIF feature is handy and useful.Local radar resolution is lacking compared to MyRadar’s version.The radar view animation is building faster than with MyRadar, but resolution is lower.Radar imagery comparison – MyRadar – WeatherMaps – Carrot Weather It’s hard to judge the application when compared to others in this crowed category. Carrot Weather’s website is not very informative or detailed in regards to the application features. Without the subscription, there is no way to test a fully featured application.Carrot Weather’s website offers limited informations about the features that comes with the subscription.To be able to write this article, I subscribed to the ultra package. Reminders of more advanced features under the subscription is highly visible in every parts of the application. If you’re not a subscriber of Carrot Weather, the application offers minimal functionality.Weather apps in the App Store are plentiful. In summary, it lives up to the hype, but there is certainly room for improvements. However, following the release of version 5.5, I decided to give it a serious try. I already use quite a few, but Carrot Weather, up until now, wasn’t part of my arsenal. How many weather applications can the earth sustain? As a weather enthusiast, I’m always looking for new weather-related applications. ![]()
