Version History Your own weather station • Weather Station (Gold) shows current conditions from a nearby personal station, or your own. Tune My Forecast learns how your station's spot runs, so the coming hours and daily highs and lows fit where you actually live, in the app, widgets and on Apple Watch. • Tune for My Neighborhood shifts forecasts by how your part of town usually runs, Apple Weather included, and Station vs. Forecast shows day by day whether tuning helps. • Explore Your City's Microclimates: a live map of every station around you, a two-day replay, and your area's typical day. A sky that matches the real weather • The realistic background follows the real sky: cloud layers, rain and snow by type and rate, rainbows, sun halos, fog, haze and smoke. • Clear nights show real stars, planets and the Milky Way, with meteor showers and auroras, turned toward the best view. The moon shows its real surface. • Sky, sun and clouds sit behind the hills, trees and buildings in your photo, in Visualize Day too, and wind-blown rain and snow fill the whole screen. • A Visualize Day widget in four sizes shows the scene for this hour. Tap it to watch the day unfold, or show just the current conditions. Hurricane tracking (Gold) • Each storm's forecast cone, track and forecast points on the radar, with coastal watches and warnings and NHC's 7-day outlook for where storms may form. Tap a storm for its winds, pressure and movement. • A card on the main screen, and optional Hurricane Cone Alerts, when your location falls in a storm's cone. Storm Surge and Extreme Wind Warnings can break through Do Not Disturb. Apple Watch, redesigned • A new main screen with a sky that matches the weather, a range bar for today, an hourly strip in three styles, a Week Ahead list and data tiles you choose. Arrange every section from your iPhone, where Watch Layout shows your real watch screen as you go. • New day, hour, Sun & Moon and Wind screens, a Pollen tile, 6-hour precipitation by type and Apple Weather's minute-by-minute rain for the next hour. • Interactive charts you scrub hour by hour with the Digital Crown, a week out: temperature, rain chance, wind, UV, humidity, pressure, heat index, wind chill and more. • Weather alerts appear as a card above current conditions. Complications show highs in red and lows in blue, follow tinted faces and fit smaller watches. Everything else • Show Overnight Lows, in Data & Layout, gives each day the low of the night that follows it. • Radar starts playing sooner and uses far less data while it loops. • Smart Weather Stories load faster, open each day with what sets it apart, and work late at night. Quick stories are shorter. • Life-threatening warnings can't be hidden, alert mute settings say what they can't silence, and AMBER and Blue Alerts no longer appear. • A Sunrise & Sunset Lock Screen widget, and the temperature curve setting is now a picker that draws both timelines. • Rain and storm Live Activities stay readable in the Dynamic Island beside a call or another app's activity. • Siri and Shortcuts read cleaner forecast sentences, and widgets keep the right hours in half-hour time zones such as India. • Settings has a Rate Forecast Bar row, and after an unexpected close you can send a quick bug report. • Smart and Single Location widgets keep their usual layout when rain is past the hours they show, and backgrounds fall back to a built-in scene when a chosen city pack is gone. • The Current Weather widget's summary moves on with each hour, and on iPad its tall size adds today's written forecast. • Lightning haptics stop after three taps per storm, then rest for half an hour. • Hourly graph hour labels show in full instead of "…". • Widgets say "until" the hour the next condition starts, not an hour later. See everything that's new at forecastbar.com/whats-new 11.7 Sep 29 • Ready for iOS 27 • iOS 27: a tall extra large widget in the app's layout, with three data points you choose • Ready for watchOS 27, with new Trio and Sunrise & Sunset complications • Apple Watch: Smart Trio picks the three gauges that matter most and changes them through the day • Apple Watch: change complications, layout and units right on the watch • iPhone: the Apple Watch screen shows live previews of every setting • After updating, add your complications back once; the watch and iPhone show you how • Radar: one Overlays button for warnings, lightning, storm cells, cameras and road layers • Gold: road conditions, weather hazards, and road and air temperatures on the radar • Gold: storm reports, river gauges and fire perimeters • Gold: road camera video or snapshots in AL, AZ, CA, DE, GA, LA, MD, MO, NC, NV, OH and WA • Widgets: new extra large Current Weather, with optional compact daily rows • Compare can add a temporary city without saving it • Sky events and earthquakes link to viewing guides, live maps and community reports • Bug fixes and performance optimizations See everything that's new at forecastbar.com/whats-new 11.6.1 Sep 18 Two Forecast Sources • Choose your forecast source. Gold subscribers can pick Apple Weather instead of The Weather Company in Settings → Data & Layout. Pollen, air quality, history and 15-minute precipitation keep coming from The Weather Company either way. • Compare both sources side by side. The new Compare screen charts every measurement at once — two lines with the disagreement shaded between them, and paired high/low bars by day — and names the single biggest disagreement. Drag across a chart and both readings follow your finger. Works for comparing cities too. • Switch sources without leaving the forecast: a new bar at the foot of the screen carries your source, Time Machine and the comparison together, and the eye above any hourly chart overlays the second forecast. Daily reports become Smart Weather Stories • Gold members can have morning and evening report notifications written as a Smart Weather Story — the day's real story up front, tuned to your location and season, with an optional note telling it what to prioritize. Find it in Notifications → Daily Reports. Storm Tracker, up front • Track on Lock Screen from the storm itself. When a storm cell is bearing down on you, the Storm Tracker card and the storm cell notification both carry a one-tap button that turns on the Storm Intercept Live Activity. Gold, iOS 17.2 or later. • The Storm Tracker now sits directly above the precipitation chart, ahead of the alerts in force, the storm report and the day's outlook, so a storm minutes out is the first thing you see. Hide the alerts you never want • Touch and hold the X on an alert and choose Hide all — for example every Beach Hazard alert when you live inland. Dismiss the same kind twice and the card offers it. If you also get notifications for that kind of alert, the app asks whether to stop those too. Bring a type back in Settings → Forecasts → Hidden Alert Types. Widgets • Widgets flag severe weather. When a warning is in force for a widget's location, the medium and large widgets show a severity-colored badge; tap it to see the active warnings. • Widgets build their timelines about three times faster, rain bars line up with their hour columns again, and the iPad lock screen Data Point gauge renders again. Stargazing • Upcoming Sky Events — the full catalog of eclipses, meteor showers and conjunctions — is always one tap away at the bottom of the stargazing forecast, and Compare Locations now fills in Stargazing Conditions for both cities. Sync what you want • Sync Layout Across Devices, in Settings → Data & Layout, lets this iPhone or iPad keep its own data points and layout while your other devices carry on sharing theirs. Tell us what you want • Request a Feature lives in Settings → Help & Info: pick a type, describe it, attach a screenshot, and it lands with us directly. Faster everywhere • Weather loads sooner after launch, alerts arrive sooner after each refresh, tides compute about twice as fast, and the radar opens faster. Apple Watch complications and radar tiles render faster too. Sharper fundamentals • Sunrise, sunset and twilight use the NOAA solar algorithm, accurate to the minute at any latitude, and the UV Index chart is back to National Weather Service colors. • AI stories stay put between refreshes instead of rewriting themselves when conditions drift a degree. • Tides rank by how close the next turn is, rising through the three hours before each high or low. • Fixed Cloud Cover reading 100% under any overcast on Apple Weather, "0 Alerts" above visible alert cards on iPad, a Compare card row showing a tornado icon when a lookup failed, a subscription that read as expiring the moment you looked, a rare crash on launch, and Apple Watch gusts converted twice. • The app no longer wakes itself in the background on devices without a subscription. See everything that's new at forecastbar.com/whats-new 11.6 Sep 7 Storm Intercept • A severe storm heading your way runs on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island: how likely it is to turn severe, how far out, and a countdown to arrival — mirrored to the Apple Watch Smart Stack. • When a storm is going to miss, it says so — the closest it will come, then it gets out of your way. Storms on the radar • Storm Cells draws every tracked cell on the map with its probability of turning severe — NOAA/CIMSS ProbSevere guidance, updated every two minutes. Tap a cell for severity trend, hail, wind and tornado breakdown, lightning rate and echo top. • Severe Storm Alert and Large Hail Alert ship ready-made, or build your own rule on severe probability or hail size. Severe weather on your widgets • Widgets now show a warning badge when a severe weather warning is active for their location. Tap it on a medium or large widget to see every active warning, then tap one for full details. • Weather alert notifications open details right in the app, and overlapping alerts of the same type appear separately, ordered by severity. Severe Risk • On the rare day the national outlook reaches Enhanced or higher, a Severe Risk card leads the main screen. Tap it to see the outlook drawn over the radar. • Severe Outlook Alerts can tell you when the outlook where you are gets upgraded, hours before any watch is issued. Storm Tracker • A storm closing on your location gets a card that leads with the verdict: on track for you, or expected to miss — with a live countdown to arrival. • After it passes, a storm report records what actually happened, and Storm Reports keeps two years of them. Compare cities • Up to five saved cities sit above or below your forecast. Tap to compare, or jump straight to that city. • Set a Home location and it joins your forecast automatically whenever you're away. Week Ahead Outlook • A short read on the week's pattern above the daily forecast — the turning points and the standout day. US outlooks now draw on the National Weather Service forecaster's own discussion. Stargazing & Astronomy • Stargazing Conditions shows tonight's best window, darkness, Moon, and weather, with an hourly quality chart. • Astronomy Alerts add meteor showers, eclipses and planetary events, each with your best local viewing time. Live Sunset Alerts • A heads-up minutes before a sunset worth stepping outside for, sent only when live satellite imagery confirms the forecast. Time Machine • Open any supported date, past or future, with a clear morning-to-night graph and backgrounds that follow the place, date and weather. • Pick dates on a month grid — swipe through months, tap the title for a year grid back to 1979, and Today snaps back in one tap. Weather Photos • Choose a photo — its date and location recreate the weather around it — then place weather artwork from restrained typography to atmospheric rain, snow and stars. On iPad • An hourly conditions chart sits below the alerts in both layouts, and landscape gets the storm tracker, storm report and weather-change cards portrait already had. Also in this release • Forecast charts are redrawn with a smoother gradient-filled curve, a current-hour marker, and a marker that follows your finger. • Cloud cover, humidity and visibility draw as lines on the hourly chart, and scrubbing snaps to your finger. • The main screen can pick its own tiles from current conditions — UV while the sun is up, gusts when it's gusty. • A redesigned subscription screen, with prices and trial terms straight from the App Store. • Forecast Bar works with VoiceOver. • Swipe right anywhere to open the side menu, and location search finds parks, ski areas and landmarks. • Global radar now plays into the future, so you can scrub ahead anywhere on Earth. • Wildfire smoke joins the radar, with an hour-by-hour PM2.5 forecast. See everything that's new at forecastbar.com/whats-new 11.5.1 Aug 25 Storm Intercept • A severe storm heading your way runs on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island: how likely it is to turn severe, how far out, and a countdown to arrival — mirrored to the Apple Watch Smart Stack. • When a storm is going to miss, it says so — the closest it will come, then it gets out of your way. Storms on the radar • Storm Cells draws every tracked cell on the map with its probability of turning severe — NOAA/CIMSS ProbSevere guidance, updated every two minutes.

Tap it to see the outlook drawn over the radar. • Severe Outlook Alerts can tell you when the outlook where you are gets upgraded, hours before any watch is issued. Storm Tracker • A storm closing on your location gets a card that leads with the verdict: on track for you, or expected to miss — with a live countdown to arrival. • After it passes, a storm report records what actually happened, and Storm Reports keeps two years of them. Smart Data Points • The main screen can pick its own tiles from current conditions — UV while the sun is up, gusts when it's gusty — sorted by what matters right now. Compare cities • Up to five saved cities sit above or below your forecast. Tap to compare, or jump straight to that city. • Set a Home location and it joins your forecast automatically whenever you're away.

See everything that's new at forecastbar.com/whats-new 11.5 Aug 22 Visualize Day • Pull down past refresh and your whole day plays out full screen — the sky, sun, stars, clouds and rain follow the forecast hour by hour, then loop. • It starts at the current hour and runs a full day forward, so you're watching the weather ahead of you rather than replaying the morning. • Share the day you just watched as a video, ready to send or post. • Put a condition icon beside the temperature in Settings › Data & Layout › Visualize Day, or switch the pull gesture off entirely and keep pull-to-refresh doing only that. Request a City Pack • Request a City now files a real request instead of opening an email. The city you're already viewing is one tap; any other city is one field. • Follow it in the pack list as it moves from Requested, to in the queue, to being created, to ready to download — and get a notification the moment it's ready. • Packs you asked for are marked with a star. Swipe to cancel a request or to remove a downloaded pack, and a request you cancel can be made again. • Ask for somewhere an existing pack already covers and you get that pack right away instead of a wait. A more realistic sky • The sun follows your location's real sunrise and sunset instead of a fixed 6am-to-6pm arc, and sets out of frame instead of disappearing at the edge of the screen. • Sky and cloud colors turn at the day's actual sunrise and sunset, and shift continuously rather than in steps. Settings, redesigned • Rows are grouped into titled cards in the order you already know them, subtitles wrap instead of truncating mid-word, and each row shows what it will do before you tap it. Also in this release • Current Location widgets stay synchronized with the app's City Pack after travel. • Temperature now sits directly below the condition on Compare's Now card, instead of partway down the list. • Fixed city pack requests for names typed without punctuation or with an abbreviation, such as "Lake St Louis Mo", which were previously rejected as places that don't exist. • Turning nearby city packs back on restores automatic downloading, which could previously be left switched off even though a fresh install has it on. • Installed city packs update themselves when their photos are improved, instead of waiting for a tap in Settings. See everything that's new at forecastbar.com/whats-new 11.4 Aug 7 City Packs • New City Packs — photo backgrounds of real cities that follow your live weather and time of day. A scene appears automatically for the city you're viewing and steps aside when it isn't on screen. • Scenes appear the moment you open the app or switch cities, and crossfade smoothly between changes. • The background picker now leads with City Packs, and Remove All clears every download in one tap. • Don't see your city? Request a City lets you tell us where you'd like a pack next. • City scenes appear in widgets too, framed to keep skylines, monuments, and landmarks in shot. • Packs are around 7 MB per city and download over Wi-Fi by default. A cellular option lives in Settings, and Low Data Mode is always respected. Smart Weather Stories • Summaries generate noticeably faster in every style, and the Thoughtful style now produces richer, more detailed write-ups. Widgets • Current Weather: choose which data point appears under each hour — UV Index, humidity, wind, and more. • New widgets load in cleanly — a loading placeholder replaces the "Weather unavailable" flash, and a failed first fetch retries on its own. Also in this release • Read the new Forecast Bar User Guide right from Settings. • Sunrise and sunset alerts open directly to the quality details page. • Area Forecast Discussion now follows your app theme instead of the system appearance. • Sunset quality scores read cirrus-veiled skies more accurately. • Home stays in your locations list whenever you're away from it, even nearby. • iPad: Settings now has a Back button — no more picking a city just to leave. • VoiceOver announces the locations button by name. • Weather refreshes again sooner after an update doesn't complete. 11.3.1 Aug 4 • Next-Generation Radar Beta brings faster, higher-resolution playback with fluid animation. • Radar stays responsive as you pan, zoom, scrub the timeline, or switch layers. • Sunrise & Sunset Quality reveals color potential, twilight timing, sky clarity, and cloud layers. • Recent sunrise and sunset results stay available, with feedback and optional photo uploads. • Today's high stays accurate overnight and early morning without yesterday's peak. • Apple Watch: wind details always show speed and units, with gusts when available. • Custom radar links use more precise coordinates for accurate positioning. • Choose how wind direction appears: cardinal points, degrees, or both. • Sunset quality forecasts factor satellite cloud thickness, aerosols, and storm activity. 11.3 Jul 20 • Half & Half and Hourly Curve join the home-screen widget lineup • Smart widget shows every data point on one page with icons • Smart widget's bottom row can display a temperature curve • Air quality, tides, and pollen join the Smart widget's data points • Home widgets can show more upcoming hours • Widgets load faster and more reliably • Fixed moon phase forecasts • Radar timeline progress glides smoothly between frames • Precipitation timing displays correctly with the 24-hour clock 11.2 Jul 12 • Widgets stay up to date through network hiccups and no longer get stuck loading • Radar opens faster and reloads recent imagery instantly 11.1.3 Jul 5 • Radar adds a toggle to show or hide the weather overlay • Radar shows a next-hours strip with data matched to the active layer • Chart hour axes follow your system's 24-hour clock • Pollen detail shows the official index, per-type grain counts, and tree species • Each saved location in the side menu shows its current local time • Home widgets show accurate hourly data and recover from refresh failures • Alert details display correctly in Dark Mode • Current location name updates promptly after you travel • Weather loads reliably at launch even when location lookup is slow or fails • iPad: adding a location works reliably • Minutely precipitation honors your default precipitation view • Alert details show local times and clearer active/ended status 11.1.1 Jun 13 **New Features** -- Compare Locations • Location Compare brings your saved cities side by side • Switch between hourly and daily views to spot the differences at a glance • Tap any city to make it your active location --Tides • Tide alerts notify you when high or low tide nears your threshold • Tide chart shows future days with a redesigned details layout • Tides appear as a configurable data point in widgets -- Apple Watch • Apple Watch: full radar screen with smooth playback, country zoom, and zoom HUD • Apple Watch: tides come to all complication families with a polar circular gauge • Apple Watch: smoother hourly navigation, crown focus, and scrolling • Apple Watch: complications respect Dynamic Type and semantic fonts • Apple Watch: AQI complication refreshes reliably with last-known fallback • Apple Watch: pressure gauge respects metric units Fixes: • Daily high no longer shows 0 just after midnight • Home widgets restore the consistent bordered overlay • 'Drag to rearrange' is easier to read on iOS • Extended details panel resizes adaptively 11.1 May 19 A True iPad App -

Forecast Bar - Weather + Radar version 11.7
Updated At: 2026-10-08
Changes: Version History Your own weather station • Weather Station (Gold) shows current conditions from a nearby personal station, or your own. Tune My Forecast learns how your station's spot runs, so the coming hours and daily highs and lows fit where you actually live, in the app, widgets and on Apple Watch. • Tune for My Neighborhood shifts forecasts by how your part of town usually runs, Apple Weather included, and Station vs. Forecast shows day by day whether tuning helps. • Explore Your City's Microclimates: a live map of every station around you, a two-day replay, and your area's typical day. A sky that matches the real weather • The realistic background follows the real sky: cloud layers, rain and snow by type and rate, rainbows, sun halos, fog, haze and smoke. • Clear nights show real stars, planets and the Milky Way, with meteor showers and auroras, turned toward the best view. The moon shows its real surface. • Sky, sun and clouds sit behind the hills, trees and buildings in your photo, in Visualize Day too, and wind-blown rain and snow fill the whole screen. • A Visualize Day widget in four sizes shows the scene for this hour. Tap it to watch the day unfold, or show just the current conditions. Hurricane tracking (Gold) • Each storm's forecast cone, track and forecast points on the radar, with coastal watches and warnings and NHC's 7-day outlook for where storms may form. Tap a storm for its winds, pressure and movement. • A card on the main screen, and optional Hurricane Cone Alerts, when your location falls in a storm's cone. Storm Surge and Extreme Wind Warnings can break through Do Not Disturb. Apple Watch, redesigned • A new main screen with a sky that matches the weather, a range bar for today, an hourly strip in three styles, a Week Ahead list and data tiles you choose. Arrange every section from your iPhone, where Watch Layout shows your real watch screen as you go. • New day, hour, Sun & Moon and Wind screens, a Pollen tile, 6-hour precipitation by type and Apple Weather's minute-by-minute rain for the next hour. • Interactive charts you scrub hour by hour with the Digital Crown, a week out: temperature, rain chance, wind, UV, humidity, pressure, heat index, wind chill and more. • Weather alerts appear as a card above current conditions. Complications show highs in red and lows in blue, follow tinted faces and fit smaller watches. Everything else • Show Overnight Lows, in Data & Layout, gives each day the low of the night that follows it. • Radar starts playing sooner and uses far less data while it loops. • Smart Weather Stories load faster, open each day with what sets it apart, and work late at night. Quick stories are shorter. • Life-threatening warnings can't be hidden, alert mute settings say what they can't silence, and AMBER and Blue Alerts no longer appear. • A Sunrise & Sunset Lock Screen widget, and the temperature curve setting is now a picker that draws both timelines. • Rain and storm Live Activities stay readable in the Dynamic Island beside a call or another app's activity. • Siri and Shortcuts read cleaner forecast sentences, and widgets keep the right hours in half-hour time zones such as India. • Settings has a Rate Forecast Bar row, and after an unexpected close you can send a quick bug report. • Smart and Single Location widgets keep their usual layout when rain is past the hours they show, and backgrounds fall back to a built-in scene when a chosen city pack is gone. • The Current Weather widget's summary moves on with each hour, and on iPad its tall size adds today's written forecast. • Lightning haptics stop after three taps per storm, then rest for half an hour. • Hourly graph hour labels show in full instead of "…". • Widgets say "until" the hour the next condition starts, not an hour later. See everything that's new at forecastbar.com/whats-new 11.7 Sep 29 • Ready for iOS 27 • iOS 27: a tall extra large widget in the app's layout, with three data points you choose • Ready for watchOS 27, with new Trio and Sunrise & Sunset complications • Apple Watch: Smart Trio picks the three gauges that matter most and changes them through the day • Apple Watch: change complications, layout and units right on the watch • iPhone: the Apple Watch screen shows live previews of every setting • After updating, add your complications back once; the watch and iPhone show you how • Radar: one Overlays button for warnings, lightning, storm cells, cameras and road layers • Gold: road conditions, weather hazards, and road and air temperatures on the radar • Gold: storm reports, river gauges and fire perimeters • Gold: road camera video or snapshots in AL, AZ, CA, DE, GA, LA, MD, MO, NC, NV, OH and WA • Widgets: new extra large Current Weather, with optional compact daily rows • Compare can add a temporary city without saving it • Sky events and earthquakes link to viewing guides, live maps and community reports • Bug fixes and performance optimizations See everything that's new at forecastbar.com/whats-new 11.6.1 Sep 18 Two Forecast Sources • Choose your forecast source. Gold subscribers can pick Apple Weather instead of The Weather Company in Settings → Data & Layout. Pollen, air quality, history and 15-minute precipitation keep coming from The Weather Company either way. • Compare both sources side by side. The new Compare screen charts every measurement at once — two lines with the disagreement shaded between them, and paired high/low bars by day — and names the single biggest disagreement. Drag across a chart and both readings follow your finger. Works for comparing cities too. • Switch sources without leaving the forecast: a new bar at the foot of the screen carries your source, Time Machine and the comparison together, and the eye above any hourly chart overlays the second forecast. Daily reports become Smart Weather Stories • Gold members can have morning and evening report notifications written as a Smart Weather Story — the day's real story up front, tuned to your location and season, with an optional note telling it what to prioritize. Find it in Notifications → Daily Reports. Storm Tracker, up front • Track on Lock Screen from the storm itself. When a storm cell is bearing down on you, the Storm Tracker card and the storm cell notification both carry a one-tap button that turns on the Storm Intercept Live Activity. Gold, iOS 17.2 or later. • The Storm Tracker now sits directly above the precipitation chart, ahead of the alerts in force, the storm report and the day's outlook, so a storm minutes out is the first thing you see. Hide the alerts you never want • Touch and hold the X on an alert and choose Hide all — for example every Beach Hazard alert when you live inland. Dismiss the same kind twice and the card offers it. If you also get notifications for that kind of alert, the app asks whether to stop those too. Bring a type back in Settings → Forecasts → Hidden Alert Types. Widgets • Widgets flag severe weather. When a warning is in force for a widget's location, the medium and large widgets show a severity-colored badge; tap it to see the active warnings. • Widgets build their timelines about three times faster, rain bars line up with their hour columns again, and the iPad lock screen Data Point gauge renders again. Stargazing • Upcoming Sky Events — the full catalog of eclipses, meteor showers and conjunctions — is always one tap away at the bottom of the stargazing forecast, and Compare Locations now fills in Stargazing Conditions for both cities. Sync what you want • Sync Layout Across Devices, in Settings → Data & Layout, lets this iPhone or iPad keep its own data points and layout while your other devices carry on sharing theirs. Tell us what you want • Request a Feature lives in Settings → Help & Info: pick a type, describe it, attach a screenshot, and it lands with us directly. Faster everywhere • Weather loads sooner after launch, alerts arrive sooner after each refresh, tides compute about twice as fast, and the radar opens faster. Apple Watch complications and radar tiles render faster too. Sharper fundamentals • Sunrise, sunset and twilight use the NOAA solar algorithm, accurate to the minute at any latitude, and the UV Index chart is back to National Weather Service colors. • AI stories stay put between refreshes instead of rewriting themselves when conditions drift a degree. • Tides rank by how close the next turn is, rising through the three hours before each high or low. • Fixed Cloud Cover reading 100% under any overcast on Apple Weather, "0 Alerts" above visible alert cards on iPad, a Compare card row showing a tornado icon when a lookup failed, a subscription that read as expiring the moment you looked, a rare crash on launch, and Apple Watch gusts converted twice. • The app no longer wakes itself in the background on devices without a subscription. See everything that's new at forecastbar.com/whats-new 11.6 Sep 7 Storm Intercept • A severe storm heading your way runs on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island: how likely it is to turn severe, how far out, and a countdown to arrival — mirrored to the Apple Watch Smart Stack. • When a storm is going to miss, it says so — the closest it will come, then it gets out of your way. Storms on the radar • Storm Cells draws every tracked cell on the map with its probability of turning severe — NOAA/CIMSS ProbSevere guidance, updated every two minutes. Tap a cell for severity trend, hail, wind and tornado breakdown, lightning rate and echo top. • Severe Storm Alert and Large Hail Alert ship ready-made, or build your own rule on severe probability or hail size. Severe weather on your widgets • Widgets now show a warning badge when a severe weather warning is active for their location. Tap it on a medium or large widget to see every active warning, then tap one for full details. • Weather alert notifications open details right in the app, and overlapping alerts of the same type appear separately, ordered by severity. Severe Risk • On the rare day the national outlook reaches Enhanced or higher, a Severe Risk card leads the main screen. Tap it to see the outlook drawn over the radar. • Severe Outlook Alerts can tell you when the outlook where you are gets upgraded, hours before any watch is issued. Storm Tracker • A storm closing on your location gets a card that leads with the verdict: on track for you, or expected to miss — with a live countdown to arrival. • After it passes, a storm report records what actually happened, and Storm Reports keeps two years of them. Compare cities • Up to five saved cities sit above or below your forecast. Tap to compare, or jump straight to that city. • Set a Home location and it joins your forecast automatically whenever you're away. Week Ahead Outlook • A short read on the week's pattern above the daily forecast — the turning points and the standout day. US outlooks now draw on the National Weather Service forecaster's own discussion. Stargazing & Astronomy • Stargazing Conditions shows tonight's best window, darkness, Moon, and weather, with an hourly quality chart. • Astronomy Alerts add meteor showers, eclipses and planetary events, each with your best local viewing time. Live Sunset Alerts • A heads-up minutes before a sunset worth stepping outside for, sent only when live satellite imagery confirms the forecast. Time Machine • Open any supported date, past or future, with a clear morning-to-night graph and backgrounds that follow the place, date and weather. • Pick dates on a month grid — swipe through months, tap the title for a year grid back to 1979, and Today snaps back in one tap. Weather Photos • Choose a photo — its date and location recreate the weather around it — then place weather artwork from restrained typography to atmospheric rain, snow and stars. On iPad • An hourly conditions chart sits below the alerts in both layouts, and landscape gets the storm tracker, storm report and weather-change cards portrait already had. Also in this release • Forecast charts are redrawn with a smoother gradient-filled curve, a current-hour marker, and a marker that follows your finger. • Cloud cover, humidity and visibility draw as lines on the hourly chart, and scrubbing snaps to your finger. • The main screen can pick its own tiles from current conditions — UV while the sun is up, gusts when it's gusty. • A redesigned subscription screen, with prices and trial terms straight from the App Store. • Forecast Bar works with VoiceOver. • Swipe right anywhere to open the side menu, and location search finds parks, ski areas and landmarks. • Global radar now plays into the future, so you can scrub ahead anywhere on Earth. • Wildfire smoke joins the radar, with an hour-by-hour PM2.5 forecast. See everything that's new at forecastbar.com/whats-new 11.5.1 Aug 25 Storm Intercept • A severe storm heading your way runs on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island: how likely it is to turn severe, how far out, and a countdown to arrival — mirrored to the Apple Watch Smart Stack. • When a storm is going to miss, it says so — the closest it will come, then it gets out of your way. Storms on the radar • Storm Cells draws every tracked cell on the map with its probability of turning severe — NOAA/CIMSS ProbSevere guidance, updated every two minutes. Tap a cell for severity trend, hail, wind and tornado breakdown, lightning rate and echo top. • Severe Storm Alert and Large Hail Alert ship ready-made, or build your own rule on severe probability or hail size. Severe Risk • On the rare day the national outlook reaches Enhanced or higher, a Severe Risk card leads the main screen. Tap it to see the outlook drawn over the radar. • Severe Outlook Alerts can tell you when the outlook where you are gets upgraded, hours before any watch is issued. Storm Tracker • A storm closing on your location gets a card that leads with the verdict: on track for you, or expected to miss — with a live countdown to arrival. • After it passes, a storm report records what actually happened, and Storm Reports keeps two years of them. Smart Data Points • The main screen can pick its own tiles from current conditions — UV while the sun is up, gusts when it's gusty — sorted by what matters right now. Compare cities • Up to five saved cities sit above or below your forecast. Tap to compare, or jump straight to that city. • Set a Home location and it joins your forecast automatically whenever you're away. Week Ahead Outlook • A short read on the week's pattern above the daily forecast — the turning points and the standout day. Stargazing & Astronomy • Stargazing Conditions shows tonight's best window, darkness, Moon, and weather, with an hourly quality chart. • Astronomy Alerts add meteor showers, eclipses and planetary events, each with your best local viewing time. Live Sunset Alerts • A heads-up minutes before a sunset worth stepping outside for, sent only when live satellite imagery confirms the forecast. Time Machine • Open any supported date, past or future, with a clear morning-to-night graph and backgrounds that follow the place, date and weather. Weather Photos • Choose a photo — its date and location recreate the weather around it — then place weather artwork from restrained typography to atmospheric rain, snow and stars. Also in this release • Forecast charts are redrawn with a smoother gradient-filled curve, a current-hour marker, and a marker that follows your finger. • Forecast Bar works with VoiceOver. • Background Effects soften a busy scene with Blur and Dimming; Glass Mode is now a slider. • Swipe right anywhere to open the side menu, and location search finds parks, ski areas and landmarks. • Global radar now plays into the future, so you can scrub ahead anywhere on Earth. • Each device can keep its own appearance while everything else stays in sync. • Wildfire smoke joins the radar, with an hour-by-hour PM2.5 forecast. • New installs start in your region's formats, and a 24-Hour Clock switch covers widgets and complications. See everything that's new at forecastbar.com/whats-new 11.5 Aug 22 Visualize Day • Pull down past refresh and your whole day plays out full screen — the sky, sun, stars, clouds and rain follow the forecast hour by hour, then loop. • It starts at the current hour and runs a full day forward, so you're watching the weather ahead of you rather than replaying the morning. • Share the day you just watched as a video, ready to send or post. • Put a condition icon beside the temperature in Settings › Data & Layout › Visualize Day, or switch the pull gesture off entirely and keep pull-to-refresh doing only that. Request a City Pack • Request a City now files a real request instead of opening an email. The city you're already viewing is one tap; any other city is one field. • Follow it in the pack list as it moves from Requested, to in the queue, to being created, to ready to download — and get a notification the moment it's ready. • Packs you asked for are marked with a star. Swipe to cancel a request or to remove a downloaded pack, and a request you cancel can be made again. • Ask for somewhere an existing pack already covers and you get that pack right away instead of a wait. A more realistic sky • The sun follows your location's real sunrise and sunset instead of a fixed 6am-to-6pm arc, and sets out of frame instead of disappearing at the edge of the screen. • Sky and cloud colors turn at the day's actual sunrise and sunset, and shift continuously rather than in steps. Settings, redesigned • Rows are grouped into titled cards in the order you already know them, subtitles wrap instead of truncating mid-word, and each row shows what it will do before you tap it. Also in this release • Current Location widgets stay synchronized with the app's City Pack after travel. • Temperature now sits directly below the condition on Compare's Now card, instead of partway down the list. • Fixed city pack requests for names typed without punctuation or with an abbreviation, such as "Lake St Louis Mo", which were previously rejected as places that don't exist. • Turning nearby city packs back on restores automatic downloading, which could previously be left switched off even though a fresh install has it on. • Installed city packs update themselves when their photos are improved, instead of waiting for a tap in Settings. See everything that's new at forecastbar.com/whats-new 11.4 Aug 7 City Packs • New City Packs — photo backgrounds of real cities that follow your live weather and time of day. A scene appears automatically for the city you're viewing and steps aside when it isn't on screen. • Scenes appear the moment you open the app or switch cities, and crossfade smoothly between changes. • The background picker now leads with City Packs, and Remove All clears every download in one tap. • Don't see your city? Request a City lets you tell us where you'd like a pack next. • City scenes appear in widgets too, framed to keep skylines, monuments, and landmarks in shot. • Packs are around 7 MB per city and download over Wi-Fi by default. A cellular option lives in Settings, and Low Data Mode is always respected. Smart Weather Stories • Summaries generate noticeably faster in every style, and the Thoughtful style now produces richer, more detailed write-ups. Widgets • Current Weather: choose which data point appears under each hour — UV Index, humidity, wind, and more. • New widgets load in cleanly — a loading placeholder replaces the "Weather unavailable" flash, and a failed first fetch retries on its own. Also in this release • Read the new Forecast Bar User Guide right from Settings. • Sunrise and sunset alerts open directly to the quality details page. • Area Forecast Discussion now follows your app theme instead of the system appearance. • Sunset quality scores read cirrus-veiled skies more accurately. • Home stays in your locations list whenever you're away from it, even nearby. • iPad: Settings now has a Back button — no more picking a city just to leave. • VoiceOver announces the locations button by name. • Weather refreshes again sooner after an update doesn't complete. 11.3.1 Aug 4 • Next-Generation Radar Beta brings faster, higher-resolution playback with fluid animation. • Radar stays responsive as you pan, zoom, scrub the timeline, or switch layers. • Sunrise & Sunset Quality reveals color potential, twilight timing, sky clarity, and cloud layers. • Recent sunrise and sunset results stay available, with feedback and optional photo uploads. • Today's high stays accurate overnight and early morning without yesterday's peak. • Apple Watch: wind details always show speed and units, with gusts when available. • Custom radar links use more precise coordinates for accurate positioning. • Choose how wind direction appears: cardinal points, degrees, or both. • Sunset quality forecasts factor satellite cloud thickness, aerosols, and storm activity. 11.3 Jul 20 • Half & Half and Hourly Curve join the home-screen widget lineup • Smart widget shows every data point on one page with icons • Smart widget's bottom row can display a temperature curve • Air quality, tides, and pollen join the Smart widget's data points • Home widgets can show more upcoming hours • Widgets load faster and more reliably • Fixed moon phase forecasts • Radar timeline progress glides smoothly between frames • Precipitation timing displays correctly with the 24-hour clock 11.2 Jul 12 • Widgets stay up to date through network hiccups and no longer get stuck loading • Radar opens faster and reloads recent imagery instantly 11.1.3 Jul 5 • Radar adds a toggle to show or hide the weather overlay • Radar shows a next-hours strip with data matched to the active layer • Chart hour axes follow your system's 24-hour clock • Pollen detail shows the official index, per-type grain counts, and tree species • Each saved location in the side menu shows its current local time • Home widgets show accurate hourly data and recover from refresh failures • Alert details display correctly in Dark Mode • Current location name updates promptly after you travel • Weather loads reliably at launch even when location lookup is slow or fails • iPad: adding a location works reliably • Minutely precipitation honors your default precipitation view • Alert details show local times and clearer active/ended status 11.1.1 Jun 13 **New Features** -- Compare Locations • Location Compare brings your saved cities side by side • Switch between hourly and daily views to spot the differences at a glance • Tap any city to make it your active location --Tides • Tide alerts notify you when high or low tide nears your threshold • Tide chart shows future days with a redesigned details layout • Tides appear as a configurable data point in widgets -- Apple Watch • Apple Watch: full radar screen with smooth playback, country zoom, and zoom HUD • Apple Watch: tides come to all complication families with a polar circular gauge • Apple Watch: smoother hourly navigation, crown focus, and scrolling • Apple Watch: complications respect Dynamic Type and semantic fonts • Apple Watch: AQI complication refreshes reliably with last-known fallback • Apple Watch: pressure gauge respects metric units Fixes: • Daily high no longer shows 0 just after midnight • Home widgets restore the consistent bordered overlay • 'Drag to rearrange' is easier to read on iOS • Extended details panel resizes adaptively 11.1 May 19 A True iPad App -

Forecast Bar - Weather + Radar version 11.7
Updated At: 2026-10-01
Changes: Version History Your own weather station • Weather Station (Gold) shows current conditions from a nearby personal station, or your own. Tune My Forecast learns how your station's spot runs, so the coming hours and daily highs and lows fit where you actually live, in the app, widgets and on Apple Watch. • Tune for My Neighborhood shifts forecasts by how your part of town usually runs, Apple Weather included, and Station vs. Forecast shows day by day whether tuning helps. • Explore Your City's Microclimates: a live map of every station around you, a two-day replay, and your area's typical day. A sky that matches the real weather • The realistic background follows the real sky: cloud layers, rain and snow by type and rate, rainbows, sun halos, fog, haze and smoke. • Clear nights show real stars, planets and the Milky Way, with meteor showers and auroras, turned toward the best view. The moon shows its real surface. • Sky, sun and clouds sit behind the hills, trees and buildings in your photo, in Visualize Day too, and wind-blown rain and snow fill the whole screen. • A Visualize Day widget in four sizes shows the scene for this hour. Tap it to watch the day unfold, or show just the current conditions. Hurricane tracking (Gold) • Each storm's forecast cone, track and forecast points on the radar, with coastal watches and warnings and NHC's 7-day outlook for where storms may form. Tap a storm for its winds, pressure and movement. • A card on the main screen, and optional Hurricane Cone Alerts, when your location falls in a storm's cone. Storm Surge and Extreme Wind Warnings can break through Do Not Disturb. Apple Watch, redesigned • A new main screen with a sky that matches the weather, a range bar for today, an hourly strip in three styles, a Week Ahead list and data tiles you choose. Arrange every section from your iPhone, where Watch Layout shows your real watch screen as you go. • New day, hour, Sun & Moon and Wind screens, a Pollen tile, 6-hour precipitation by type and Apple Weather's minute-by-minute rain for the next hour. • Interactive charts you scrub hour by hour with the Digital Crown, a week out: temperature, rain chance, wind, UV, humidity, pressure, heat index, wind chill and more. • Weather alerts appear as a card above current conditions. Complications show highs in red and lows in blue, follow tinted faces and fit smaller watches. Everything else • Show Overnight Lows, in Data & Layout, gives each day the low of the night that follows it. • Radar starts playing sooner and uses far less data while it loops. • Smart Weather Stories load faster, open each day with what sets it apart, and work late at night. Quick stories are shorter. • Life-threatening warnings can't be hidden, alert mute settings say what they can't silence, and AMBER and Blue Alerts no longer appear. • A Sunrise & Sunset Lock Screen widget, and the temperature curve setting is now a picker that draws both timelines. • Rain and storm Live Activities stay readable in the Dynamic Island beside a call or another app's activity. • Siri and Shortcuts read cleaner forecast sentences, and widgets keep the right hours in half-hour time zones such as India. • Settings has a Rate Forecast Bar row, and after an unexpected close you can send a quick bug report. • Smart and Single Location widgets keep their usual layout when rain is past the hours they show, and backgrounds fall back to a built-in scene when a chosen city pack is gone. • The Current Weather widget's summary moves on with each hour, and on iPad its tall size adds today's written forecast. • Lightning haptics stop after three taps per storm, then rest for half an hour. • Hourly graph hour labels show in full instead of "…". • Widgets say "until" the hour the next condition starts, not an hour later. See everything that's new at forecastbar.com/whats-new 11.7 2d ago • Ready for iOS 27 • iOS 27: a tall extra large widget in the app's layout, with three data points you choose • Ready for watchOS 27, with new Trio and Sunrise & Sunset complications • Apple Watch: Smart Trio picks the three gauges that matter most and changes them through the day • Apple Watch: change complications, layout and units right on the watch • iPhone: the Apple Watch screen shows live previews of every setting • After updating, add your complications back once; the watch and iPhone show you how • Radar: one Overlays button for warnings, lightning, storm cells, cameras and road layers • Gold: road conditions, weather hazards, and road and air temperatures on the radar • Gold: storm reports, river gauges and fire perimeters • Gold: road camera video or snapshots in AL, AZ, CA, DE, GA, LA, MD, MO, NC, NV, OH and WA • Widgets: new extra large Current Weather, with optional compact daily rows • Compare can add a temporary city without saving it • Sky events and earthquakes link to viewing guides, live maps and community reports • Bug fixes and performance optimizations See everything that's new at forecastbar.com/whats-new 11.6.1 Sep 18 Two Forecast Sources • Choose your forecast source. Gold subscribers can pick Apple Weather instead of The Weather Company in Settings → Data & Layout. Pollen, air quality, history and 15-minute precipitation keep coming from The Weather Company either way. • Compare both sources side by side. The new Compare screen charts every measurement at once — two lines with the disagreement shaded between them, and paired high/low bars by day — and names the single biggest disagreement. Drag across a chart and both readings follow your finger. Works for comparing cities too. • Switch sources without leaving the forecast: a new bar at the foot of the screen carries your source, Time Machine and the comparison together, and the eye above any hourly chart overlays the second forecast. Daily reports become Smart Weather Stories • Gold members can have morning and evening report notifications written as a Smart Weather Story — the day's real story up front, tuned to your location and season, with an optional note telling it what to prioritize. Find it in Notifications → Daily Reports. Storm Tracker, up front • Track on Lock Screen from the storm itself. When a storm cell is bearing down on you, the Storm Tracker card and the storm cell notification both carry a one-tap button that turns on the Storm Intercept Live Activity. Gold, iOS 17.2 or later. • The Storm Tracker now sits directly above the precipitation chart, ahead of the alerts in force, the storm report and the day's outlook, so a storm minutes out is the first thing you see. Hide the alerts you never want • Touch and hold the X on an alert and choose Hide all — for example every Beach Hazard alert when you live inland. Dismiss the same kind twice and the card offers it. If you also get notifications for that kind of alert, the app asks whether to stop those too. Bring a type back in Settings → Forecasts → Hidden Alert Types. Widgets • Widgets flag severe weather. When a warning is in force for a widget's location, the medium and large widgets show a severity-colored badge; tap it to see the active warnings. • Widgets build their timelines about three times faster, rain bars line up with their hour columns again, and the iPad lock screen Data Point gauge renders again. Stargazing • Upcoming Sky Events — the full catalog of eclipses, meteor showers and conjunctions — is always one tap away at the bottom of the stargazing forecast, and Compare Locations now fills in Stargazing Conditions for both cities. Sync what you want • Sync Layout Across Devices, in Settings → Data & Layout, lets this iPhone or iPad keep its own data points and layout while your other devices carry on sharing theirs. Tell us what you want • Request a Feature lives in Settings → Help & Info: pick a type, describe it, attach a screenshot, and it lands with us directly. Faster everywhere • Weather loads sooner after launch, alerts arrive sooner after each refresh, tides compute about twice as fast, and the radar opens faster. Apple Watch complications and radar tiles render faster too. Sharper fundamentals • Sunrise, sunset and twilight use the NOAA solar algorithm, accurate to the minute at any latitude, and the UV Index chart is back to National Weather Service colors. • AI stories stay put between refreshes instead of rewriting themselves when conditions drift a degree. • Tides rank by how close the next turn is, rising through the three hours before each high or low. • Fixed Cloud Cover reading 100% under any overcast on Apple Weather, "0 Alerts" above visible alert cards on iPad, a Compare card row showing a tornado icon when a lookup failed, a subscription that read as expiring the moment you looked, a rare crash on launch, and Apple Watch gusts converted twice. • The app no longer wakes itself in the background on devices without a subscription. See everything that's new at forecastbar.com/whats-new 11.6 Sep 7 Storm Intercept • A severe storm heading your way runs on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island: how likely it is to turn severe, how far out, and a countdown to arrival — mirrored to the Apple Watch Smart Stack. • When a storm is going to miss, it says so — the closest it will come, then it gets out of your way. Storms on the radar • Storm Cells draws every tracked cell on the map with its probability of turning severe — NOAA/CIMSS ProbSevere guidance, updated every two minutes. Tap a cell for severity trend, hail, wind and tornado breakdown, lightning rate and echo top. • Severe Storm Alert and Large Hail Alert ship ready-made, or build your own rule on severe probability or hail size. Severe weather on your widgets • Widgets now show a warning badge when a severe weather warning is active for their location. Tap it on a medium or large widget to see every active warning, then tap one for full details. • Weather alert notifications open details right in the app, and overlapping alerts of the same type appear separately, ordered by severity. Severe Risk • On the rare day the national outlook reaches Enhanced or higher, a Severe Risk card leads the main screen. Tap it to see the outlook drawn over the radar. • Severe Outlook Alerts can tell you when the outlook where you are gets upgraded, hours before any watch is issued. Storm Tracker • A storm closing on your location gets a card that leads with the verdict: on track for you, or expected to miss — with a live countdown to arrival. • After it passes, a storm report records what actually happened, and Storm Reports keeps two years of them. Compare cities • Up to five saved cities sit above or below your forecast. Tap to compare, or jump straight to that city. • Set a Home location and it joins your forecast automatically whenever you're away. Week Ahead Outlook • A short read on the week's pattern above the daily forecast — the turning points and the standout day. US outlooks now draw on the National Weather Service forecaster's own discussion. Stargazing & Astronomy • Stargazing Conditions shows tonight's best window, darkness, Moon, and weather, with an hourly quality chart. • Astronomy Alerts add meteor showers, eclipses and planetary events, each with your best local viewing time.

Time Machine • Open any supported date, past or future, with a clear morning-to-night graph and backgrounds that follow the place, date and weather. • Pick dates on a month grid — swipe through months, tap the title for a year grid back to 1979, and Today snaps back in one tap. Weather Photos • Choose a photo — its date and location recreate the weather around it — then place weather artwork from restrained typography to atmospheric rain, snow and stars. On iPad • An hourly conditions chart sits below the alerts in both layouts, and landscape gets the storm tracker, storm report and weather-change cards portrait already had. Also in this release • Forecast charts are redrawn with a smoother gradient-filled curve, a current-hour marker, and a marker that follows your finger. • Cloud cover, humidity and visibility draw as lines on the hourly chart, and scrubbing snaps to your finger. • The main screen can pick its own tiles from current conditions — UV while the sun is up, gusts when it's gusty. • A redesigned subscription screen, with prices and trial terms straight from the App Store. • Forecast Bar works with VoiceOver. • Swipe right anywhere to open the side menu, and location search finds parks, ski areas and landmarks. • Global radar now plays into the future, so you can scrub ahead anywhere on Earth. • Wildfire smoke joins the radar, with an hour-by-hour PM2.5 forecast. See everything that's new at forecastbar.com/whats-new 11.5.1 Aug 25 Storm Intercept • A severe storm heading your way runs on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island: how likely it is to turn severe, how far out, and a countdown to arrival — mirrored to the Apple Watch Smart Stack. • When a storm is going to miss, it says so — the closest it will come, then it gets out of your way.

Compare cities • Up to five saved cities sit above or below your forecast. Tap to compare, or jump straight to that city. • Set a Home location and it joins your forecast automatically whenever you're away.

See everything that's new at forecastbar.com/whats-new 11.5 Aug 22 Visualize Day • Pull down past refresh and your whole day plays out full screen — the sky, sun, stars, clouds and rain follow the forecast hour by hour, then loop. • It starts at the current hour and runs a full day forward, so you're watching the weather ahead of you rather than replaying the morning. • Share the day you just watched as a video, ready to send or post. • Put a condition icon beside the temperature in Settings › Data & Layout › Visualize Day, or switch the pull gesture off entirely and keep pull-to-refresh doing only that. Request a City Pack • Request a City now files a real request instead of opening an email. The city you're already viewing is one tap; any other city is one field. • Follow it in the pack list as it moves from Requested, to in the queue, to being created, to ready to download — and get a notification the moment it's ready. • Packs you asked for are marked with a star. Swipe to cancel a request or to remove a downloaded pack, and a request you cancel can be made again. • Ask for somewhere an existing pack already covers and you get that pack right away instead of a wait. A more realistic sky • The sun follows your location's real sunrise and sunset instead of a fixed 6am-to-6pm arc, and sets out of frame instead of disappearing at the edge of the screen. • Sky and cloud colors turn at the day's actual sunrise and sunset, and shift continuously rather than in steps. Settings, redesigned • Rows are grouped into titled cards in the order you already know them, subtitles wrap instead of truncating mid-word, and each row shows what it will do before you tap it. Also in this release • Current Location widgets stay synchronized with the app's City Pack after travel. • Temperature now sits directly below the condition on Compare's Now card, instead of partway down the list. • Fixed city pack requests for names typed without punctuation or with an abbreviation, such as "Lake St Louis Mo", which were previously rejected as places that don't exist. • Turning nearby city packs back on restores automatic downloading, which could previously be left switched off even though a fresh install has it on. • Installed city packs update themselves when their photos are improved, instead of waiting for a tap in Settings. See everything that's new at forecastbar.com/whats-new 11.4 Aug 7 City Packs • New City Packs — photo backgrounds of real cities that follow your live weather and time of day. A scene appears automatically for the city you're viewing and steps aside when it isn't on screen. • Scenes appear the moment you open the app or switch cities, and crossfade smoothly between changes. • The background picker now leads with City Packs, and Remove All clears every download in one tap. • Don't see your city? Request a City lets you tell us where you'd like a pack next. • City scenes appear in widgets too, framed to keep skylines, monuments, and landmarks in shot. • Packs are around 7 MB per city and download over Wi-Fi by default. A cellular option lives in Settings, and Low Data Mode is always respected. Smart Weather Stories • Summaries generate noticeably faster in every style, and the Thoughtful style now produces richer, more detailed write-ups. Widgets • Current Weather: choose which data point appears under each hour — UV Index, humidity, wind, and more. • New widgets load in cleanly — a loading placeholder replaces the "Weather unavailable" flash, and a failed first fetch retries on its own.

Forecast Bar - Weather + Radar version 11.6.1
Updated At: 2026-09-24
Changes: Version History • Ready for iOS 27 • iOS 27: a tall extra large widget in the app's layout, with three data points you choose • Ready for watchOS 27, with new Trio and Sunrise & Sunset complications • Apple Watch: Smart Trio picks the three gauges that matter most and changes them through the day • Apple Watch: change complications, layout and units right on the watch • iPhone: the Apple Watch screen shows live previews of every setting • After updating, add your complications back once; the watch and iPhone show you how • Radar: one Overlays button for warnings, lightning, storm cells, cameras and road layers • Gold: road conditions, weather hazards, and road and air temperatures on the radar • Gold: storm reports, river gauges and fire perimeters • Gold: road camera video or snapshots in AL, AZ, CA, DE, GA, LA, MD, MO, NC, NV, OH and WA • Widgets: new extra large Current Weather, with optional compact daily rows • Compare can add a temporary city without saving it • Sky events and earthquakes link to viewing guides, live maps and community reports • Bug fixes and performance optimizations See everything that's new at forecastbar.com/whats-new 11.6.1 5d ago Two Forecast Sources • Choose your forecast source. Gold subscribers can pick Apple Weather instead of The Weather Company in Settings → Data & Layout. Pollen, air quality, history and 15-minute precipitation keep coming from The Weather Company either way. • Compare both sources side by side. The new Compare screen charts every measurement at once — two lines with the disagreement shaded between them, and paired high/low bars by day — and names the single biggest disagreement. Drag across a chart and both readings follow your finger. Works for comparing cities too. • Switch sources without leaving the forecast: a new bar at the foot of the screen carries your source, Time Machine and the comparison together, and the eye above any hourly chart overlays the second forecast. Daily reports become Smart Weather Stories • Gold members can have morning and evening report notifications written as a Smart Weather Story — the day's real story up front, tuned to your location and season, with an optional note telling it what to prioritize. Find it in Notifications → Daily Reports. Storm Tracker, up front • Track on Lock Screen from the storm itself. When a storm cell is bearing down on you, the Storm Tracker card and the storm cell notification both carry a one-tap button that turns on the Storm Intercept Live Activity. Gold, iOS 17.2 or later. • The Storm Tracker now sits directly above the precipitation chart, ahead of the alerts in force, the storm report and the day's outlook, so a storm minutes out is the first thing you see. Hide the alerts you never want • Touch and hold the X on an alert and choose Hide all — for example every Beach Hazard alert when you live inland. Dismiss the same kind twice and the card offers it. If you also get notifications for that kind of alert, the app asks whether to stop those too. Bring a type back in Settings → Forecasts → Hidden Alert Types. Widgets • Widgets flag severe weather. When a warning is in force for a widget's location, the medium and large widgets show a severity-colored badge; tap it to see the active warnings. • Widgets build their timelines about three times faster, rain bars line up with their hour columns again, and the iPad lock screen Data Point gauge renders again. Stargazing • Upcoming Sky Events — the full catalog of eclipses, meteor showers and conjunctions — is always one tap away at the bottom of the stargazing forecast, and Compare Locations now fills in Stargazing Conditions for both cities. Sync what you want • Sync Layout Across Devices, in Settings → Data & Layout, lets this iPhone or iPad keep its own data points and layout while your other devices carry on sharing theirs. Tell us what you want • Request a Feature lives in Settings → Help & Info: pick a type, describe it, attach a screenshot, and it lands with us directly. Faster everywhere • Weather loads sooner after launch, alerts arrive sooner after each refresh, tides compute about twice as fast, and the radar opens faster. Apple Watch complications and radar tiles render faster too. Sharper fundamentals • Sunrise, sunset and twilight use the NOAA solar algorithm, accurate to the minute at any latitude, and the UV Index chart is back to National Weather Service colors. • AI stories stay put between refreshes instead of rewriting themselves when conditions drift a degree. • Tides rank by how close the next turn is, rising through the three hours before each high or low. • Fixed Cloud Cover reading 100% under any overcast on Apple Weather, "0 Alerts" above visible alert cards on iPad, a Compare card row showing a tornado icon when a lookup failed, a subscription that read as expiring the moment you looked, a rare crash on launch, and Apple Watch gusts converted twice. • The app no longer wakes itself in the background on devices without a subscription. See everything that's new at forecastbar.com/whats-new 11.6 Sep 7 Storm Intercept • A severe storm heading your way runs on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island: how likely it is to turn severe, how far out, and a countdown to arrival — mirrored to the Apple Watch Smart Stack. • When a storm is going to miss, it says so — the closest it will come, then it gets out of your way. Storms on the radar • Storm Cells draws every tracked cell on the map with its probability of turning severe — NOAA/CIMSS ProbSevere guidance, updated every two minutes. Tap a cell for severity trend, hail, wind and tornado breakdown, lightning rate and echo top. • Severe Storm Alert and Large Hail Alert ship ready-made, or build your own rule on severe probability or hail size. Severe weather on your widgets • Widgets now show a warning badge when a severe weather warning is active for their location. Tap it on a medium or large widget to see every active warning, then tap one for full details. • Weather alert notifications open details right in the app, and overlapping alerts of the same type appear separately, ordered by severity. Severe Risk • On the rare day the national outlook reaches Enhanced or higher, a Severe Risk card leads the main screen. Tap it to see the outlook drawn over the radar. • Severe Outlook Alerts can tell you when the outlook where you are gets upgraded, hours before any watch is issued. Storm Tracker • A storm closing on your location gets a card that leads with the verdict: on track for you, or expected to miss — with a live countdown to arrival. • After it passes, a storm report records what actually happened, and Storm Reports keeps two years of them. Compare cities • Up to five saved cities sit above or below your forecast. Tap to compare, or jump straight to that city. • Set a Home location and it joins your forecast automatically whenever you're away. Week Ahead Outlook • A short read on the week's pattern above the daily forecast — the turning points and the standout day. US outlooks now draw on the National Weather Service forecaster's own discussion. Stargazing & Astronomy • Stargazing Conditions shows tonight's best window, darkness, Moon, and weather, with an hourly quality chart. • Astronomy Alerts add meteor showers, eclipses and planetary events, each with your best local viewing time. Live Sunset Alerts • A heads-up minutes before a sunset worth stepping outside for, sent only when live satellite imagery confirms the forecast. Time Machine • Open any supported date, past or future, with a clear morning-to-night graph and backgrounds that follow the place, date and weather. • Pick dates on a month grid — swipe through months, tap the title for a year grid back to 1979, and Today snaps back in one tap. Weather Photos • Choose a photo — its date and location recreate the weather around it — then place weather artwork from restrained typography to atmospheric rain, snow and stars. On iPad • An hourly conditions chart sits below the alerts in both layouts, and landscape gets the storm tracker, storm report and weather-change cards portrait already had. Also in this release • Forecast charts are redrawn with a smoother gradient-filled curve, a current-hour marker, and a marker that follows your finger. • Cloud cover, humidity and visibility draw as lines on the hourly chart, and scrubbing snaps to your finger. • The main screen can pick its own tiles from current conditions — UV while the sun is up, gusts when it's gusty. • A redesigned subscription screen, with prices and trial terms straight from the App Store. • Forecast Bar works with VoiceOver. • Swipe right anywhere to open the side menu, and location search finds parks, ski areas and landmarks. • Global radar now plays into the future, so you can scrub ahead anywhere on Earth. • Wildfire smoke joins the radar, with an hour-by-hour PM2.5 forecast. See everything that's new at forecastbar.com/whats-new 11.5.1 Aug 25 Storm Intercept • A severe storm heading your way runs on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island: how likely it is to turn severe, how far out, and a countdown to arrival — mirrored to the Apple Watch Smart Stack. • When a storm is going to miss, it says so — the closest it will come, then it gets out of your way.

Storm Tracker • A storm closing on your location gets a card that leads with the verdict: on track for you, or expected to miss — with a live countdown to arrival. • After it passes, a storm report records what actually happened, and Storm Reports keeps two years of them. Smart Data Points • The main screen can pick its own tiles from current conditions — UV while the sun is up, gusts when it's gusty — sorted by what matters right now. Compare cities • Up to five saved cities sit above or below your forecast. Tap to compare, or jump straight to that city. • Set a Home location and it joins your forecast automatically whenever you're away. Week Ahead Outlook • A short read on the week's pattern above the daily forecast — the turning points and the standout day. Stargazing & Astronomy • Stargazing Conditions shows tonight's best window, darkness, Moon, and weather, with an hourly quality chart. • Astronomy Alerts add meteor showers, eclipses and planetary events, each with your best local viewing time. Live Sunset Alerts • A heads-up minutes before a sunset worth stepping outside for, sent only when live satellite imagery confirms the forecast. Time Machine • Open any supported date, past or future, with a clear morning-to-night graph and backgrounds that follow the place, date and weather. Weather Photos • Choose a photo — its date and location recreate the weather around it — then place weather artwork from restrained typography to atmospheric rain, snow and stars. Also in this release • Forecast charts are redrawn with a smoother gradient-filled curve, a current-hour marker, and a marker that follows your finger. • Forecast Bar works with VoiceOver. • Background Effects soften a busy scene with Blur and Dimming; Glass Mode is now a slider. • Swipe right anywhere to open the side menu, and location search finds parks, ski areas and landmarks. • Global radar now plays into the future, so you can scrub ahead anywhere on Earth. • Each device can keep its own appearance while everything else stays in sync. • Wildfire smoke joins the radar, with an hour-by-hour PM2.5 forecast. • New installs start in your region's formats, and a 24-Hour Clock switch covers widgets and complications. See everything that's new at forecastbar.com/whats-new 11.5 Aug 22 Visualize Day • Pull down past refresh and your whole day plays out full screen — the sky, sun, stars, clouds and rain follow the forecast hour by hour, then loop. • It starts at the current hour and runs a full day forward, so you're watching the weather ahead of you rather than replaying the morning. • Share the day you just watched as a video, ready to send or post. • Put a condition icon beside the temperature in Settings › Data & Layout › Visualize Day, or switch the pull gesture off entirely and keep pull-to-refresh doing only that. Request a City Pack • Request a City now files a real request instead of opening an email. The city you're already viewing is one tap; any other city is one field. • Follow it in the pack list as it moves from Requested, to in the queue, to being created, to ready to download — and get a notification the moment it's ready. • Packs you asked for are marked with a star. Swipe to cancel a request or to remove a downloaded pack, and a request you cancel can be made again. • Ask for somewhere an existing pack already covers and you get that pack right away instead of a wait. A more realistic sky • The sun follows your location's real sunrise and sunset instead of a fixed 6am-to-6pm arc, and sets out of frame instead of disappearing at the edge of the screen. • Sky and cloud colors turn at the day's actual sunrise and sunset, and shift continuously rather than in steps. Settings, redesigned • Rows are grouped into titled cards in the order you already know them, subtitles wrap instead of truncating mid-word, and each row shows what it will do before you tap it. Also in this release • Current Location widgets stay synchronized with the app's City Pack after travel. • Temperature now sits directly below the condition on Compare's Now card, instead of partway down the list. • Fixed city pack requests for names typed without punctuation or with an abbreviation, such as "Lake St Louis Mo", which were previously rejected as places that don't exist. • Turning nearby city packs back on restores automatic downloading, which could previously be left switched off even though a fresh install has it on. • Installed city packs update themselves when their photos are improved, instead of waiting for a tap in Settings. See everything that's new at forecastbar.com/whats-new 11.4 Aug 7 City Packs • New City Packs — photo backgrounds of real cities that follow your live weather and time of day. A scene appears automatically for the city you're viewing and steps aside when it isn't on screen. • Scenes appear the moment you open the app or switch cities, and crossfade smoothly between changes. • The background picker now leads with City Packs, and Remove All clears every download in one tap. • Don't see your city? Request a City lets you tell us where you'd like a pack next. • City scenes appear in widgets too, framed to keep skylines, monuments, and landmarks in shot. • Packs are around 7 MB per city and download over Wi-Fi by default. A cellular option lives in Settings, and Low Data Mode is always respected. Smart Weather Stories • Summaries generate noticeably faster in every style, and the Thoughtful style now produces richer, more detailed write-ups. Widgets • Current Weather: choose which data point appears under each hour — UV Index, humidity, wind, and more. • New widgets load in cleanly — a loading placeholder replaces the "Weather unavailable" flash, and a failed first fetch retries on its own. Also in this release • Read the new Forecast Bar User Guide right from Settings. • Sunrise and sunset alerts open directly to the quality details page. • Area Forecast Discussion now follows your app theme instead of the system appearance. • Sunset quality scores read cirrus-veiled skies more accurately. • Home stays in your locations list whenever you're away from it, even nearby. • iPad: Settings now has a Back button — no more picking a city just to leave. • VoiceOver announces the locations button by name. • Weather refreshes again sooner after an update doesn't complete. 11.3.1 Aug 4 • Next-Generation Radar Beta brings faster, higher-resolution playback with fluid animation. • Radar stays responsive as you pan, zoom, scrub the timeline, or switch layers. • Sunrise & Sunset Quality reveals color potential, twilight timing, sky clarity, and cloud layers. • Recent sunrise and sunset results stay available, with feedback and optional photo uploads. • Today's high stays accurate overnight and early morning without yesterday's peak. • Apple Watch: wind details always show speed and units, with gusts when available. • Custom radar links use more precise coordinates for accurate positioning. • Choose how wind direction appears: cardinal points, degrees, or both. • Sunset quality forecasts factor satellite cloud thickness, aerosols, and storm activity. 11.3 Jul 20 • Half & Half and Hourly Curve join the home-screen widget lineup • Smart widget shows every data point on one page with icons • Smart widget's bottom row can display a temperature curve • Air quality, tides, and pollen join the Smart widget's data points • Home widgets can show more upcoming hours • Widgets load faster and more reliably • Fixed moon phase forecasts • Radar timeline progress glides smoothly between frames • Precipitation timing displays correctly with the 24-hour clock 11.2 Jul 12 • Widgets stay up to date through network hiccups and no longer get stuck loading • Radar opens faster and reloads recent imagery instantly 11.1.3 Jul 5 • Radar adds a toggle to show or hide the weather overlay • Radar shows a next-hours strip with data matched to the active layer • Chart hour axes follow your system's 24-hour clock • Pollen detail shows the official index, per-type grain counts, and tree species • Each saved location in the side menu shows its current local time • Home widgets show accurate hourly data and recover from refresh failures • Alert details display correctly in Dark Mode • Current location name updates promptly after you travel • Weather loads reliably at launch even when location lookup is slow or fails • iPad: adding a location works reliably • Minutely precipitation honors your default precipitation view • Alert details show local times and clearer active/ended status 11.1.1 Jun 13 **New Features** -- Compare Locations • Location Compare brings your saved cities side by side • Switch between hourly and daily views to spot the differences at a glance • Tap any city to make it your active location --Tides • Tide alerts notify you when high or low tide nears your threshold • Tide chart shows future days with a redesigned details layout • Tides appear as a configurable data point in widgets -- Apple Watch • Apple Watch: full radar screen with smooth playback, country zoom, and zoom HUD • Apple Watch: tides come to all complication families with a polar circular gauge • Apple Watch: smoother hourly navigation, crown focus, and scrolling • Apple Watch: complications respect Dynamic Type and semantic fonts • Apple Watch: AQI complication refreshes reliably with last-known fallback • Apple Watch: pressure gauge respects metric units Fixes: • Daily high no longer shows 0 just after midnight • Home widgets restore the consistent bordered overlay • 'Drag to rearrange' is easier to read on iOS • Extended details panel resizes adaptively 11.1 May 19 A True iPad App -

Forecast Bar - Weather + Radar version 11.6
Updated At: 2026-09-17
Changes: Version History Two Forecast Sources • Choose your forecast source. Gold subscribers can pick Apple Weather instead of The Weather Company in Settings → Data & Layout. Pollen, air quality, history and 15-minute precipitation keep coming from The Weather Company either way. • Compare both sources side by side. The new Compare screen charts every measurement at once — two lines with the disagreement shaded between them, and paired high/low bars by day — and names the single biggest disagreement. Drag across a chart and both readings follow your finger. Works for comparing cities too. • Switch sources without leaving the forecast: a new bar at the foot of the screen carries your source, Time Machine and the comparison together, and the eye above any hourly chart overlays the second forecast. Daily reports become Smart Weather Stories • Gold members can have morning and evening report notifications written as a Smart Weather Story — the day's real story up front, tuned to your location and season, with an optional note telling it what to prioritize. Find it in Notifications → Daily Reports. Storm Tracker, up front • Track on Lock Screen from the storm itself. When a storm cell is bearing down on you, the Storm Tracker card and the storm cell notification both carry a one-tap button that turns on the Storm Intercept Live Activity. Gold, iOS 17.2 or later. • The Storm Tracker now sits directly above the precipitation chart, ahead of the alerts in force, the storm report and the day's outlook, so a storm minutes out is the first thing you see. Hide the alerts you never want • Touch and hold the X on an alert and choose Hide all — for example every Beach Hazard alert when you live inland. Dismiss the same kind twice and the card offers it. If you also get notifications for that kind of alert, the app asks whether to stop those too. Bring a type back in Settings → Forecasts → Hidden Alert Types. Widgets • Widgets flag severe weather. When a warning is in force for a widget's location, the medium and large widgets show a severity-colored badge; tap it to see the active warnings. • Widgets build their timelines about three times faster, rain bars line up with their hour columns again, and the iPad lock screen Data Point gauge renders again. Stargazing • Upcoming Sky Events — the full catalog of eclipses, meteor showers and conjunctions — is always one tap away at the bottom of the stargazing forecast, and Compare Locations now fills in Stargazing Conditions for both cities. Sync what you want • Sync Layout Across Devices, in Settings → Data & Layout, lets this iPhone or iPad keep its own data points and layout while your other devices carry on sharing theirs. Tell us what you want • Request a Feature lives in Settings → Help & Info: pick a type, describe it, attach a screenshot, and it lands with us directly. Faster everywhere • Weather loads sooner after launch, alerts arrive sooner after each refresh, tides compute about twice as fast, and the radar opens faster. Apple Watch complications and radar tiles render faster too. Sharper fundamentals • Sunrise, sunset and twilight use the NOAA solar algorithm, accurate to the minute at any latitude, and the UV Index chart is back to National Weather Service colors. • AI stories stay put between refreshes instead of rewriting themselves when conditions drift a degree. • Tides rank by how close the next turn is, rising through the three hours before each high or low. • Fixed Cloud Cover reading 100% under any overcast on Apple Weather, "0 Alerts" above visible alert cards on iPad, a Compare card row showing a tornado icon when a lookup failed, a subscription that read as expiring the moment you looked, a rare crash on launch, and Apple Watch gusts converted twice. • The app no longer wakes itself in the background on devices without a subscription. See everything that's new at forecastbar.com/whats-new 11.6 Sep 7 Storm Intercept • A severe storm heading your way runs on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island: how likely it is to turn severe, how far out, and a countdown to arrival — mirrored to the Apple Watch Smart Stack. • When a storm is going to miss, it says so — the closest it will come, then it gets out of your way. Storms on the radar • Storm Cells draws every tracked cell on the map with its probability of turning severe — NOAA/CIMSS ProbSevere guidance, updated every two minutes. Tap a cell for severity trend, hail, wind and tornado breakdown, lightning rate and echo top. • Severe Storm Alert and Large Hail Alert ship ready-made, or build your own rule on severe probability or hail size. Severe weather on your widgets • Widgets now show a warning badge when a severe weather warning is active for their location. Tap it on a medium or large widget to see every active warning, then tap one for full details. • Weather alert notifications open details right in the app, and overlapping alerts of the same type appear separately, ordered by severity. Severe Risk • On the rare day the national outlook reaches Enhanced or higher, a Severe Risk card leads the main screen. Tap it to see the outlook drawn over the radar. • Severe Outlook Alerts can tell you when the outlook where you are gets upgraded, hours before any watch is issued. Storm Tracker • A storm closing on your location gets a card that leads with the verdict: on track for you, or expected to miss — with a live countdown to arrival. • After it passes, a storm report records what actually happened, and Storm Reports keeps two years of them. Compare cities • Up to five saved cities sit above or below your forecast. Tap to compare, or jump straight to that city. • Set a Home location and it joins your forecast automatically whenever you're away. Week Ahead Outlook • A short read on the week's pattern above the daily forecast — the turning points and the standout day.

Weather Photos • Choose a photo — its date and location recreate the weather around it — then place weather artwork from restrained typography to atmospheric rain, snow and stars. On iPad • An hourly conditions chart sits below the alerts in both layouts, and landscape gets the storm tracker, storm report and weather-change cards portrait already had. Also in this release • Forecast charts are redrawn with a smoother gradient-filled curve, a current-hour marker, and a marker that follows your finger. • Cloud cover, humidity and visibility draw as lines on the hourly chart, and scrubbing snaps to your finger. • The main screen can pick its own tiles from current conditions — UV while the sun is up, gusts when it's gusty. • A redesigned subscription screen, with prices and trial terms straight from the App Store. • Forecast Bar works with VoiceOver. • Swipe right anywhere to open the side menu, and location search finds parks, ski areas and landmarks. • Global radar now plays into the future, so you can scrub ahead anywhere on Earth. • Wildfire smoke joins the radar, with an hour-by-hour PM2.5 forecast. See everything that's new at forecastbar.com/whats-new 11.5.1 Aug 25 Storm Intercept • A severe storm heading your way runs on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island: how likely it is to turn severe, how far out, and a countdown to arrival — mirrored to the Apple Watch Smart Stack. • When a storm is going to miss, it says so — the closest it will come, then it gets out of your way. Storms on the radar • Storm Cells draws every tracked cell on the map with its probability of turning severe — NOAA/CIMSS ProbSevere guidance, updated every two minutes. Tap a cell for severity trend, hail, wind and tornado breakdown, lightning rate and echo top. • Severe Storm Alert and Large Hail Alert ship ready-made, or build your own rule on severe probability or hail size. Severe Risk • On the rare day the national outlook reaches Enhanced or higher, a Severe Risk card leads the main screen. Tap it to see the outlook drawn over the radar. • Severe Outlook Alerts can tell you when the outlook where you are gets upgraded, hours before any watch is issued. Storm Tracker • A storm closing on your location gets a card that leads with the verdict: on track for you, or expected to miss — with a live countdown to arrival. • After it passes, a storm report records what actually happened, and Storm Reports keeps two years of them. Smart Data Points • The main screen can pick its own tiles from current conditions — UV while the sun is up, gusts when it's gusty — sorted by what matters right now. Compare cities • Up to five saved cities sit above or below your forecast. Tap to compare, or jump straight to that city. • Set a Home location and it joins your forecast automatically whenever you're away.

See everything that's new at forecastbar.com/whats-new 11.5 Aug 22 Visualize Day • Pull down past refresh and your whole day plays out full screen — the sky, sun, stars, clouds and rain follow the forecast hour by hour, then loop. • It starts at the current hour and runs a full day forward, so you're watching the weather ahead of you rather than replaying the morning. • Share the day you just watched as a video, ready to send or post. • Put a condition icon beside the temperature in Settings › Data & Layout › Visualize Day, or switch the pull gesture off entirely and keep pull-to-refresh doing only that. Request a City Pack • Request a City now files a real request instead of opening an email. The city you're already viewing is one tap; any other city is one field. • Follow it in the pack list as it moves from Requested, to in the queue, to being created, to ready to download — and get a notification the moment it's ready. • Packs you asked for are marked with a star. Swipe to cancel a request or to remove a downloaded pack, and a request you cancel can be made again. • Ask for somewhere an existing pack already covers and you get that pack right away instead of a wait. A more realistic sky • The sun follows your location's real sunrise and sunset instead of a fixed 6am-to-6pm arc, and sets out of frame instead of disappearing at the edge of the screen. • Sky and cloud colors turn at the day's actual sunrise and sunset, and shift continuously rather than in steps. Settings, redesigned • Rows are grouped into titled cards in the order you already know them, subtitles wrap instead of truncating mid-word, and each row shows what it will do before you tap it. Also in this release • Current Location widgets stay synchronized with the app's City Pack after travel. • Temperature now sits directly below the condition on Compare's Now card, instead of partway down the list. • Fixed city pack requests for names typed without punctuation or with an abbreviation, such as "Lake St Louis Mo", which were previously rejected as places that don't exist. • Turning nearby city packs back on restores automatic downloading, which could previously be left switched off even though a fresh install has it on. • Installed city packs update themselves when their photos are improved, instead of waiting for a tap in Settings. See everything that's new at forecastbar.com/whats-new 11.4 Aug 7 City Packs • New City Packs — photo backgrounds of real cities that follow your live weather and time of day. A scene appears automatically for the city you're viewing and steps aside when it isn't on screen. • Scenes appear the moment you open the app or switch cities, and crossfade smoothly between changes. • The background picker now leads with City Packs, and Remove All clears every download in one tap. • Don't see your city? Request a City lets you tell us where you'd like a pack next. • City scenes appear in widgets too, framed to keep skylines, monuments, and landmarks in shot. • Packs are around 7 MB per city and download over Wi-Fi by default. A cellular option lives in Settings, and Low Data Mode is always respected. Smart Weather Stories • Summaries generate noticeably faster in every style, and the Thoughtful style now produces richer, more detailed write-ups. Widgets • Current Weather: choose which data point appears under each hour — UV Index, humidity, wind, and more. • New widgets load in cleanly — a loading placeholder replaces the "Weather unavailable" flash, and a failed first fetch retries on its own. Also in this release • Read the new Forecast Bar User Guide right from Settings. • Sunrise and sunset alerts open directly to the quality details page. • Area Forecast Discussion now follows your app theme instead of the system appearance. • Sunset quality scores read cirrus-veiled skies more accurately. • Home stays in your locations list whenever you're away from it, even nearby. • iPad: Settings now has a Back button — no more picking a city just to leave. • VoiceOver announces the locations button by name. • Weather refreshes again sooner after an update doesn't complete. 11.3.1 Aug 4 • Next-Generation Radar Beta brings faster, higher-resolution playback with fluid animation. • Radar stays responsive as you pan, zoom, scrub the timeline, or switch layers. • Sunrise & Sunset Quality reveals color potential, twilight timing, sky clarity, and cloud layers. • Recent sunrise and sunset results stay available, with feedback and optional photo uploads. • Today's high stays accurate overnight and early morning without yesterday's peak. • Apple Watch: wind details always show speed and units, with gusts when available. • Custom radar links use more precise coordinates for accurate positioning. • Choose how wind direction appears: cardinal points, degrees, or both. • Sunset quality forecasts factor satellite cloud thickness, aerosols, and storm activity. 11.3 Jul 20 • Half & Half and Hourly Curve join the home-screen widget lineup • Smart widget shows every data point on one page with icons • Smart widget's bottom row can display a temperature curve • Air quality, tides, and pollen join the Smart widget's data points • Home widgets can show more upcoming hours • Widgets load faster and more reliably • Fixed moon phase forecasts • Radar timeline progress glides smoothly between frames • Precipitation timing displays correctly with the 24-hour clock 11.2 Jul 12 • Widgets stay up to date through network hiccups and no longer get stuck loading • Radar opens faster and reloads recent imagery instantly 11.1.3 Jul 5 • Radar adds a toggle to show or hide the weather overlay • Radar shows a next-hours strip with data matched to the active layer • Chart hour axes follow your system's 24-hour clock • Pollen detail shows the official index, per-type grain counts, and tree species • Each saved location in the side menu shows its current local time • Home widgets show accurate hourly data and recover from refresh failures • Alert details display correctly in Dark Mode • Current location name updates promptly after you travel • Weather loads reliably at launch even when location lookup is slow or fails • iPad: adding a location works reliably • Minutely precipitation honors your default precipitation view • Alert details show local times and clearer active/ended status 11.1.1 Jun 13 **New Features** -- Compare Locations • Location Compare brings your saved cities side by side • Switch between hourly and daily views to spot the differences at a glance • Tap any city to make it your active location --Tides • Tide alerts notify you when high or low tide nears your threshold • Tide chart shows future days with a redesigned details layout • Tides appear as a configurable data point in widgets -- Apple Watch • Apple Watch: full radar screen with smooth playback, country zoom, and zoom HUD • Apple Watch: tides come to all complication families with a polar circular gauge • Apple Watch: smoother hourly navigation, crown focus, and scrolling • Apple Watch: complications respect Dynamic Type and semantic fonts • Apple Watch: AQI complication refreshes reliably with last-known fallback • Apple Watch: pressure gauge respects metric units Fixes: • Daily high no longer shows 0 just after midnight • Home widgets restore the consistent bordered overlay • 'Drag to rearrange' is easier to read on iOS • Extended details panel resizes adaptively 11.1 May 19 A True iPad App -

Forecast Bar - Weather + Radar version 11.6
Updated At: 2026-09-10
Changes: Version History Two Forecast Sources • Choose your forecast source. Gold subscribers can pick Apple Weather instead of The Weather Company in Settings → Data & Layout. Pollen, air quality, history and 15-minute precipitation keep coming from The Weather Company either way. • Compare both sources side by side. The new Compare screen charts every measurement at once — two lines with the disagreement shaded between them, and paired high/low bars by day — and names the single biggest disagreement. Drag across a chart and both readings follow your finger. Works for comparing cities too. • Switch sources without leaving the forecast: a new bar at the foot of the screen carries your source, Time Machine and the comparison together, and the eye above any hourly chart overlays the second forecast. Daily reports become Smart Weather Stories • Gold members can have morning and evening report notifications written as a Smart Weather Story — the day's real story up front, tuned to your location and season, with an optional note telling it what to prioritize. Find it in Notifications → Daily Reports. Storm Tracker, up front • Track on Lock Screen from the storm itself. When a storm cell is bearing down on you, the Storm Tracker card and the storm cell notification both carry a one-tap button that turns on the Storm Intercept Live Activity. Gold, iOS 17.2 or later. • The Storm Tracker now sits directly above the precipitation chart, ahead of the alerts in force, the storm report and the day's outlook, so a storm minutes out is the first thing you see. Hide the alerts you never want • Touch and hold the X on an alert and choose Hide all — for example every Beach Hazard alert when you live inland. Dismiss the same kind twice and the card offers it. If you also get notifications for that kind of alert, the app asks whether to stop those too. Bring a type back in Settings → Forecasts → Hidden Alert Types. Widgets • Widgets flag severe weather. When a warning is in force for a widget's location, the medium and large widgets show a severity-colored badge; tap it to see the active warnings. • Widgets build their timelines about three times faster, rain bars line up with their hour columns again, and the iPad lock screen Data Point gauge renders again. Stargazing • Upcoming Sky Events — the full catalog of eclipses, meteor showers and conjunctions — is always one tap away at the bottom of the stargazing forecast, and Compare Locations now fills in Stargazing Conditions for both cities. Sync what you want • Sync Layout Across Devices, in Settings → Data & Layout, lets this iPhone or iPad keep its own data points and layout while your other devices carry on sharing theirs. Tell us what you want • Request a Feature lives in Settings → Help & Info: pick a type, describe it, attach a screenshot, and it lands with us directly. Faster everywhere • Weather loads sooner after launch, alerts arrive sooner after each refresh, tides compute about twice as fast, and the radar opens faster. Apple Watch complications and radar tiles render faster too. Sharper fundamentals • Sunrise, sunset and twilight use the NOAA solar algorithm, accurate to the minute at any latitude, and the UV Index chart is back to National Weather Service colors. • AI stories stay put between refreshes instead of rewriting themselves when conditions drift a degree. • Tides rank by how close the next turn is, rising through the three hours before each high or low. • Fixed Cloud Cover reading 100% under any overcast on Apple Weather, "0 Alerts" above visible alert cards on iPad, a Compare card row showing a tornado icon when a lookup failed, a subscription that read as expiring the moment you looked, a rare crash on launch, and Apple Watch gusts converted twice. • The app no longer wakes itself in the background on devices without a subscription. See everything that's new at forecastbar.com/whats-new 11.6 2d ago Storm Intercept • A severe storm heading your way runs on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island: how likely it is to turn severe, how far out, and a countdown to arrival — mirrored to the Apple Watch Smart Stack. • When a storm is going to miss, it says so — the closest it will come, then it gets out of your way. Storms on the radar • Storm Cells draws every tracked cell on the map with its probability of turning severe — NOAA/CIMSS ProbSevere guidance, updated every two minutes. Tap a cell for severity trend, hail, wind and tornado breakdown, lightning rate and echo top. • Severe Storm Alert and Large Hail Alert ship ready-made, or build your own rule on severe probability or hail size. Severe weather on your widgets • Widgets now show a warning badge when a severe weather warning is active for their location. Tap it on a medium or large widget to see every active warning, then tap one for full details. • Weather alert notifications open details right in the app, and overlapping alerts of the same type appear separately, ordered by severity. Severe Risk • On the rare day the national outlook reaches Enhanced or higher, a Severe Risk card leads the main screen. Tap it to see the outlook drawn over the radar. • Severe Outlook Alerts can tell you when the outlook where you are gets upgraded, hours before any watch is issued. Storm Tracker • A storm closing on your location gets a card that leads with the verdict: on track for you, or expected to miss — with a live countdown to arrival. • After it passes, a storm report records what actually happened, and Storm Reports keeps two years of them. Compare cities • Up to five saved cities sit above or below your forecast. Tap to compare, or jump straight to that city. • Set a Home location and it joins your forecast automatically whenever you're away.

Weather Photos • Choose a photo — its date and location recreate the weather around it — then place weather artwork from restrained typography to atmospheric rain, snow and stars. On iPad • An hourly conditions chart sits below the alerts in both layouts, and landscape gets the storm tracker, storm report and weather-change cards portrait already had. Also in this release • Forecast charts are redrawn with a smoother gradient-filled curve, a current-hour marker, and a marker that follows your finger. • Cloud cover, humidity and visibility draw as lines on the hourly chart, and scrubbing snaps to your finger. • The main screen can pick its own tiles from current conditions — UV while the sun is up, gusts when it's gusty. • A redesigned subscription screen, with prices and trial terms straight from the App Store. • Forecast Bar works with VoiceOver. • Swipe right anywhere to open the side menu, and location search finds parks, ski areas and landmarks. • Global radar now plays into the future, so you can scrub ahead anywhere on Earth. • Wildfire smoke joins the radar, with an hour-by-hour PM2.5 forecast.

See everything that's new at forecastbar.com/whats-new 11.5 Aug 22 Visualize Day • Pull down past refresh and your whole day plays out full screen — the sky, sun, stars, clouds and rain follow the forecast hour by hour, then loop. • It starts at the current hour and runs a full day forward, so you're watching the weather ahead of you rather than replaying the morning. • Share the day you just watched as a video, ready to send or post. • Put a condition icon beside the temperature in Settings › Data & Layout › Visualize Day, or switch the pull gesture off entirely and keep pull-to-refresh doing only that. Request a City Pack • Request a City now files a real request instead of opening an email. The city you're already viewing is one tap; any other city is one field. • Follow it in the pack list as it moves from Requested, to in the queue, to being created, to ready to download — and get a notification the moment it's ready. • Packs you asked for are marked with a star. Swipe to cancel a request or to remove a downloaded pack, and a request you cancel can be made again. • Ask for somewhere an existing pack already covers and you get that pack right away instead of a wait. A more realistic sky • The sun follows your location's real sunrise and sunset instead of a fixed 6am-to-6pm arc, and sets out of frame instead of disappearing at the edge of the screen. • Sky and cloud colors turn at the day's actual sunrise and sunset, and shift continuously rather than in steps. Settings, redesigned • Rows are grouped into titled cards in the order you already know them, subtitles wrap instead of truncating mid-word, and each row shows what it will do before you tap it. Also in this release • Current Location widgets stay synchronized with the app's City Pack after travel. • Temperature now sits directly below the condition on Compare's Now card, instead of partway down the list. • Fixed city pack requests for names typed without punctuation or with an abbreviation, such as "Lake St Louis Mo", which were previously rejected as places that don't exist. • Turning nearby city packs back on restores automatic downloading, which could previously be left switched off even though a fresh install has it on. • Installed city packs update themselves when their photos are improved, instead of waiting for a tap in Settings. See everything that's new at forecastbar.com/whats-new 11.4 Aug 7 City Packs • New City Packs — photo backgrounds of real cities that follow your live weather and time of day. A scene appears automatically for the city you're viewing and steps aside when it isn't on screen. • Scenes appear the moment you open the app or switch cities, and crossfade smoothly between changes. • The background picker now leads with City Packs, and Remove All clears every download in one tap. • Don't see your city? Request a City lets you tell us where you'd like a pack next. • City scenes appear in widgets too, framed to keep skylines, monuments, and landmarks in shot. • Packs are around 7 MB per city and download over Wi-Fi by default. A cellular option lives in Settings, and Low Data Mode is always respected. Smart Weather Stories • Summaries generate noticeably faster in every style, and the Thoughtful style now produces richer, more detailed write-ups. Widgets • Current Weather: choose which data point appears under each hour — UV Index, humidity, wind, and more. • New widgets load in cleanly — a loading placeholder replaces the "Weather unavailable" flash, and a failed first fetch retries on its own.

Forecast Bar - Weather + Radar version 11.5.1
Updated At: 2026-09-03
Changes: Version History Storm Intercept • A severe storm heading your way runs on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island: how likely it is to turn severe, how far out, and a countdown to arrival — mirrored to the Apple Watch Smart Stack. • When a storm is going to miss, it says so — the closest it will come, then it gets out of your way. Storms on the radar • Storm Cells draws every tracked cell on the map with its probability of turning severe — NOAA/CIMSS ProbSevere guidance, updated every two minutes. Tap a cell for severity trend, hail, wind and tornado breakdown, lightning rate and echo top. • Severe Storm Alert and Large Hail Alert ship ready-made, or build your own rule on severe probability or hail size. Severe weather on your widgets • Widgets now show a warning badge when a severe weather warning is active for their location. Tap it on a medium or large widget to see every active warning, then tap one for full details. • Weather alert notifications open details right in the app, and overlapping alerts of the same type appear separately, ordered by severity. Severe Risk • On the rare day the national outlook reaches Enhanced or higher, a Severe Risk card leads the main screen. Tap it to see the outlook drawn over the radar. • Severe Outlook Alerts can tell you when the outlook where you are gets upgraded, hours before any watch is issued. Storm Tracker • A storm closing on your location gets a card that leads with the verdict: on track for you, or expected to miss — with a live countdown to arrival. • After it passes, a storm report records what actually happened, and Storm Reports keeps two years of them. Compare cities • Up to five saved cities sit above or below your forecast. Tap to compare, or jump straight to that city. • Set a Home location and it joins your forecast automatically whenever you're away. Week Ahead Outlook • A short read on the week's pattern above the daily forecast — the turning points and the standout day. US outlooks now draw on the National Weather Service forecaster's own discussion. Stargazing & Astronomy • Stargazing Conditions shows tonight's best window, darkness, Moon, and weather, with an hourly quality chart. • Astronomy Alerts add meteor showers, eclipses and planetary events, each with your best local viewing time. Live Sunset Alerts • A heads-up minutes before a sunset worth stepping outside for, sent only when live satellite imagery confirms the forecast. Time Machine • Open any supported date, past or future, with a clear morning-to-night graph and backgrounds that follow the place, date and weather. • Pick dates on a month grid — swipe through months, tap the title for a year grid back to 1979, and Today snaps back in one tap. Weather Photos • Choose a photo — its date and location recreate the weather around it — then place weather artwork from restrained typography to atmospheric rain, snow and stars. On iPad • An hourly conditions chart sits below the alerts in both layouts, and landscape gets the storm tracker, storm report and weather-change cards portrait already had. Also in this release • Forecast charts are redrawn with a smoother gradient-filled curve, a current-hour marker, and a marker that follows your finger. • Cloud cover, humidity and visibility draw as lines on the hourly chart, and scrubbing snaps to your finger. • The main screen can pick its own tiles from current conditions — UV while the sun is up, gusts when it's gusty. • A redesigned subscription screen, with prices and trial terms straight from the App Store. • Forecast Bar works with VoiceOver. • Swipe right anywhere to open the side menu, and location search finds parks, ski areas and landmarks. • Global radar now plays into the future, so you can scrub ahead anywhere on Earth. • Wildfire smoke joins the radar, with an hour-by-hour PM2.5 forecast.

Smart Data Points • The main screen can pick its own tiles from current conditions — UV while the sun is up, gusts when it's gusty — sorted by what matters right now. Compare cities • Up to five saved cities sit above or below your forecast. Tap to compare, or jump straight to that city. • Set a Home location and it joins your forecast automatically whenever you're away. Week Ahead Outlook • A short read on the week's pattern above the daily forecast — the turning points and the standout day. Stargazing & Astronomy • Stargazing Conditions shows tonight's best window, darkness, Moon, and weather, with an hourly quality chart. • Astronomy Alerts add meteor showers, eclipses and planetary events, each with your best local viewing time.

Also in this release • Forecast charts are redrawn with a smoother gradient-filled curve, a current-hour marker, and a marker that follows your finger. • Forecast Bar works with VoiceOver. • Background Effects soften a busy scene with Blur and Dimming; Glass Mode is now a slider. • Swipe right anywhere to open the side menu, and location search finds parks, ski areas and landmarks. • Global radar now plays into the future, so you can scrub ahead anywhere on Earth. • Each device can keep its own appearance while everything else stays in sync. • Wildfire smoke joins the radar, with an hour-by-hour PM2.5 forecast. • New installs start in your region's formats, and a 24-Hour Clock switch covers widgets and complications. See everything that's new at forecastbar.com/whats-new 11.5 Aug 22 Visualize Day • Pull down past refresh and your whole day plays out full screen — the sky, sun, stars, clouds and rain follow the forecast hour by hour, then loop. • It starts at the current hour and runs a full day forward, so you're watching the weather ahead of you rather than replaying the morning. • Share the day you just watched as a video, ready to send or post. • Put a condition icon beside the temperature in Settings › Data & Layout › Visualize Day, or switch the pull gesture off entirely and keep pull-to-refresh doing only that. Request a City Pack • Request a City now files a real request instead of opening an email. The city you're already viewing is one tap; any other city is one field. • Follow it in the pack list as it moves from Requested, to in the queue, to being created, to ready to download — and get a notification the moment it's ready. • Packs you asked for are marked with a star. Swipe to cancel a request or to remove a downloaded pack, and a request you cancel can be made again. • Ask for somewhere an existing pack already covers and you get that pack right away instead of a wait. A more realistic sky • The sun follows your location's real sunrise and sunset instead of a fixed 6am-to-6pm arc, and sets out of frame instead of disappearing at the edge of the screen. • Sky and cloud colors turn at the day's actual sunrise and sunset, and shift continuously rather than in steps. Settings, redesigned • Rows are grouped into titled cards in the order you already know them, subtitles wrap instead of truncating mid-word, and each row shows what it will do before you tap it. Also in this release • Current Location widgets stay synchronized with the app's City Pack after travel. • Temperature now sits directly below the condition on Compare's Now card, instead of partway down the list. • Fixed city pack requests for names typed without punctuation or with an abbreviation, such as "Lake St Louis Mo", which were previously rejected as places that don't exist. • Turning nearby city packs back on restores automatic downloading, which could previously be left switched off even though a fresh install has it on. • Installed city packs update themselves when their photos are improved, instead of waiting for a tap in Settings. See everything that's new at forecastbar.com/whats-new 11.4 Aug 7 City Packs • New City Packs — photo backgrounds of real cities that follow your live weather and time of day. A scene appears automatically for the city you're viewing and steps aside when it isn't on screen. • Scenes appear the moment you open the app or switch cities, and crossfade smoothly between changes. • The background picker now leads with City Packs, and Remove All clears every download in one tap. • Don't see your city? Request a City lets you tell us where you'd like a pack next. • City scenes appear in widgets too, framed to keep skylines, monuments, and landmarks in shot. • Packs are around 7 MB per city and download over Wi-Fi by default. A cellular option lives in Settings, and Low Data Mode is always respected. Smart Weather Stories • Summaries generate noticeably faster in every style, and the Thoughtful style now produces richer, more detailed write-ups. Widgets • Current Weather: choose which data point appears under each hour — UV Index, humidity, wind, and more. • New widgets load in cleanly — a loading placeholder replaces the "Weather unavailable" flash, and a failed first fetch retries on its own. Also in this release • Read the new Forecast Bar User Guide right from Settings. • Sunrise and sunset alerts open directly to the quality details page. • Area Forecast Discussion now follows your app theme instead of the system appearance. • Sunset quality scores read cirrus-veiled skies more accurately. • Home stays in your locations list whenever you're away from it, even nearby. • iPad: Settings now has a Back button — no more picking a city just to leave. • VoiceOver announces the locations button by name. • Weather refreshes again sooner after an update doesn't complete. 11.3.1 Aug 4 • Next-Generation Radar Beta brings faster, higher-resolution playback with fluid animation. • Radar stays responsive as you pan, zoom, scrub the timeline, or switch layers. • Sunrise & Sunset Quality reveals color potential, twilight timing, sky clarity, and cloud layers. • Recent sunrise and sunset results stay available, with feedback and optional photo uploads. • Today's high stays accurate overnight and early morning without yesterday's peak. • Apple Watch: wind details always show speed and units, with gusts when available. • Custom radar links use more precise coordinates for accurate positioning. • Choose how wind direction appears: cardinal points, degrees, or both. • Sunset quality forecasts factor satellite cloud thickness, aerosols, and storm activity. 11.3 Jul 20 • Half & Half and Hourly Curve join the home-screen widget lineup • Smart widget shows every data point on one page with icons • Smart widget's bottom row can display a temperature curve • Air quality, tides, and pollen join the Smart widget's data points • Home widgets can show more upcoming hours • Widgets load faster and more reliably • Fixed moon phase forecasts • Radar timeline progress glides smoothly between frames • Precipitation timing displays correctly with the 24-hour clock 11.2 Jul 12 • Widgets stay up to date through network hiccups and no longer get stuck loading • Radar opens faster and reloads recent imagery instantly 11.1.3 Jul 5 • Radar adds a toggle to show or hide the weather overlay • Radar shows a next-hours strip with data matched to the active layer • Chart hour axes follow your system's 24-hour clock • Pollen detail shows the official index, per-type grain counts, and tree species • Each saved location in the side menu shows its current local time • Home widgets show accurate hourly data and recover from refresh failures • Alert details display correctly in Dark Mode • Current location name updates promptly after you travel • Weather loads reliably at launch even when location lookup is slow or fails • iPad: adding a location works reliably • Minutely precipitation honors your default precipitation view • Alert details show local times and clearer active/ended status 11.1.1 Jun 13 **New Features** -- Compare Locations • Location Compare brings your saved cities side by side • Switch between hourly and daily views to spot the differences at a glance • Tap any city to make it your active location --Tides • Tide alerts notify you when high or low tide nears your threshold • Tide chart shows future days with a redesigned details layout • Tides appear as a configurable data point in widgets -- Apple Watch • Apple Watch: full radar screen with smooth playback, country zoom, and zoom HUD • Apple Watch: tides come to all complication families with a polar circular gauge • Apple Watch: smoother hourly navigation, crown focus, and scrolling • Apple Watch: complications respect Dynamic Type and semantic fonts • Apple Watch: AQI complication refreshes reliably with last-known fallback • Apple Watch: pressure gauge respects metric units Fixes: • Daily high no longer shows 0 just after midnight • Home widgets restore the consistent bordered overlay • 'Drag to rearrange' is easier to read on iOS • Extended details panel resizes adaptively 11.1 May 19 A True iPad App -

Forecast Bar - Weather + Radar version 11.4
Updated At: 2026-08-21
Changes: Version History Visualize Day • Pull down past refresh and your whole day plays out full screen — the sky, sun, stars, clouds and rain follow the forecast hour by hour, then loop. • It starts at the current hour and runs a full day forward, so you're watching the weather ahead of you rather than replaying the morning. • Share the day you just watched as a video, ready to send or post. • Put a condition icon beside the temperature in Settings › Data & Layout › Visualize Day, or switch the pull gesture off entirely and keep pull-to-refresh doing only that. Request a City Pack • Request a City now files a real request instead of opening an email. The city you're already viewing is one tap; any other city is one field. • Follow it in the pack list as it moves from Requested, to in the queue, to being created, to ready to download — and get a notification the moment it's ready. • Packs you asked for are marked with a star. Swipe to cancel a request or to remove a downloaded pack, and a request you cancel can be made again. • Ask for somewhere an existing pack already covers and you get that pack right away instead of a wait. A more realistic sky • The sun follows your location's real sunrise and sunset instead of a fixed 6am-to-6pm arc, and sets out of frame instead of disappearing at the edge of the screen. • Sky and cloud colors turn at the day's actual sunrise and sunset, and shift continuously rather than in steps. Settings, redesigned • Rows are grouped into titled cards in the order you already know them, subtitles wrap instead of truncating mid-word, and each row shows what it will do before you tap it. Also in this release • Current Location widgets stay synchronized with the app's City Pack after travel. • Temperature now sits directly below the condition on Compare's Now card, instead of partway down the list. • Fixed city pack requests for names typed without punctuation or with an abbreviation, such as "Lake St Louis Mo", which were previously rejected as places that don't exist. • Turning nearby city packs back on restores automatic downloading, which could previously be left switched off even though a fresh install has it on. • Installed city packs update themselves when their photos are improved, instead of waiting for a tap in Settings. See everything that's new at forecastbar.com/whats-new 11.4 Aug 7 City Packs • New City Packs — photo backgrounds of real cities that follow your live weather and time of day. A scene appears automatically for the city you're viewing and steps aside when it isn't on screen. • Scenes appear the moment you open the app or switch cities, and crossfade smoothly between changes. • The background picker now leads with City Packs, and Remove All clears every download in one tap. • Don't see your city? Request a City lets you tell us where you'd like a pack next. • City scenes appear in widgets too, framed to keep skylines, monuments, and landmarks in shot. • Packs are around 7 MB per city and download over Wi-Fi by default. A cellular option lives in Settings, and Low Data Mode is always respected. Smart Weather Stories • Summaries generate noticeably faster in every style, and the Thoughtful style now produces richer, more detailed write-ups. Widgets • Current Weather: choose which data point appears under each hour — UV Index, humidity, wind, and more. • New widgets load in cleanly — a loading placeholder replaces the "Weather unavailable" flash, and a failed first fetch retries on its own. Also in this release • Read the new Forecast Bar User Guide right from Settings. • Sunrise and sunset alerts open directly to the quality details page. • Area Forecast Discussion now follows your app theme instead of the system appearance. • Sunset quality scores read cirrus-veiled skies more accurately. • Home stays in your locations list whenever you're away from it, even nearby. • iPad: Settings now has a Back button — no more picking a city just to leave. • VoiceOver announces the locations button by name. • Weather refreshes again sooner after an update doesn't complete. 11.3.1 Aug 4 • Next-Generation Radar Beta brings faster, higher-resolution playback with fluid animation. • Radar stays responsive as you pan, zoom, scrub the timeline, or switch layers. • Sunrise & Sunset Quality reveals color potential, twilight timing, sky clarity, and cloud layers. • Recent sunrise and sunset results stay available, with feedback and optional photo uploads. • Today's high stays accurate overnight and early morning without yesterday's peak. • Apple Watch: wind details always show speed and units, with gusts when available. • Custom radar links use more precise coordinates for accurate positioning. • Choose how wind direction appears: cardinal points, degrees, or both. • Sunset quality forecasts factor satellite cloud thickness, aerosols, and storm activity. 11.3 Jul 20 • Half & Half and Hourly Curve join the home-screen widget lineup • Smart widget shows every data point on one page with icons • Smart widget's bottom row can display a temperature curve • Air quality, tides, and pollen join the Smart widget's data points • Home widgets can show more upcoming hours • Widgets load faster and more reliably • Fixed moon phase forecasts • Radar timeline progress glides smoothly between frames • Precipitation timing displays correctly with the 24-hour clock 11.2 Jul 12 • Widgets stay up to date through network hiccups and no longer get stuck loading • Radar opens faster and reloads recent imagery instantly 11.1.3 Jul 5 • Radar adds a toggle to show or hide the weather overlay • Radar shows a next-hours strip with data matched to the active layer • Chart hour axes follow your system's 24-hour clock • Pollen detail shows the official index, per-type grain counts, and tree species • Each saved location in the side menu shows its current local time • Home widgets show accurate hourly data and recover from refresh failures • Alert details display correctly in Dark Mode • Current location name updates promptly after you travel • Weather loads reliably at launch even when location lookup is slow or fails • iPad: adding a location works reliably • Minutely precipitation honors your default precipitation view • Alert details show local times and clearer active/ended status 11.1.1 Jun 13 **New Features** -- Compare Locations • Location Compare brings your saved cities side by side • Switch between hourly and daily views to spot the differences at a glance • Tap any city to make it your active location --Tides • Tide alerts notify you when high or low tide nears your threshold • Tide chart shows future days with a redesigned details layout • Tides appear as a configurable data point in widgets -- Apple Watch • Apple Watch: full radar screen with smooth playback, country zoom, and zoom HUD • Apple Watch: tides come to all complication families with a polar circular gauge • Apple Watch: smoother hourly navigation, crown focus, and scrolling • Apple Watch: complications respect Dynamic Type and semantic fonts • Apple Watch: AQI complication refreshes reliably with last-known fallback • Apple Watch: pressure gauge respects metric units Fixes: • Daily high no longer shows 0 just after midnight • Home widgets restore the consistent bordered overlay • 'Drag to rearrange' is easier to read on iOS • Extended details panel resizes adaptively 11.1 May 19 A True iPad App -
