![]() ![]() It may look nice visually and be fully accessible, but I find it simply too busy, in that it feels hard work getting to the basic weather data that I want. Also, it is actually very accessible for most of the data that matters to me.Īs much as I appreciate the great accessibility of Weather Gods and Scott's engagement with our community, I just don't like the app's layout. I stick with the app because it's generally the most reliable for forecasts and I also like the ability to switch between different weather data sources. The developer made positive noises at the time about resolving them, but there has been no improvement. I first reported these issues a couple of years ago. Additionally, customizing layouts is tricky, as the list of currently enabled layouts is seen by VoiceOver as a single UI element, so you have to disable VoiceOver and try to tap in the right place to get to the layout that you want to edit. The same is true for a few other sections. The actual data for the section is completely invisible to VoiceOver (either by flicking or touch). For example, add the precipitation section (either graph or icon) to your layout, and VoiceOver will only locate and speak the title of the section. Specifically, there are several weather data sections which are completely inaccessible to VoiceOver. Hth and good luck.Ĭarrot is my personal choice, but it's not perfect.

WG is well worth the small price and I highly recommend you pay the gods a visit. CARROT Weather v5.0 is here Its a major redesign with many new features, the culmination of everything CARROT and I have learned about building weather apps over the past six years. And my fear of yet another Streaker achievement tier and losing my streak. And I am locked into legacy subscription pricing that I don’t want to lose. As others have stated WG is accurate, and the lead developer Scott is active on here. I like CARROT’s nearly endless customization. WG plays weather sounds, which can be toggled on/off and which I find extremely helpful and entertaining. But I didn't find it too accessible with VoiceOver, so I removed it. With CW you can have different levels of professionalism which I personally found rather enjoyable. A former neighbor demonstrated CW in his car a few years ago when he and I were on the way to a summer bash. I recently tried out Carrot Weather after hearing about it. ![]()
