The app has seen a few redesigns over the years and while it offered forecasts and plenty of weather data, the alerts were its bread and butter. It saved me plenty of times as I strolled the campus. Just enough to either get to a building or hop on a bus. As I’d walk to class, Dark Sky would send me a notification that rain was about to begin within 15 minutes. I’ve been using Dark Sky for ages, particularly for the hyper-local real-time weather alerts. That combined with the Carrot’s charming personality and lovely graphics makes this one of the most popular weather apps around. There simply isn’t any other app that has as many customization options as Carrot does. You can choose exactly the complications too. On Apple Watch, you can customize the look as well. The app has all the typical weather information you’d expect such as radar maps, predicted forecasts, and iOS Home Screen widgets.

Adjust the layout of the Home Screen, prioritize metrics you care about and adjust your notifications and alerts. It pulls its weather data from multiple sources - your choice - and lets you customize almost everything about it. Even real-world events.īut I don’t love this app just because of the bad-mouthing robot, it also happens to be an extremely useful app. Each time you spin up the app, Carrot will welcome you with some degree of sass that is often tied to the current weather or pop culture. Ambient CarrotĬarrot isn’t just the name of this weather app, it’s the name of the snarky and mildly vindictive AI that lives within.
