Weather Gods 4.9

Hi all, hope you're having a good week!

Just letting everyone know that we've released a Weather Gods update featuring our new AI weather text capability.

This feature uses Weather Gods data to generate engaging, descriptive weather summaries. You can select different time periods (e.g., today, tomorrow, this week, next weekend, etc.) and customize the tone with a variety of personas—from a classic TV forecaster to snarky commentary or even a pirate-style forecast!

The AI generation runs on a credit-based system, as it leverages an external paid service. Credits can be purchased in-app, and subscribers receive a complimentary batch of free credits each month.

I've taken extra care to ensure full VoiceOver compatibility, with clearly labeled sections and intuitive navigation between time periods.

A huge thank you to all our testers who helped refine and shape this feature!

Below is an example of today's AI-generated forecast for Chicago to give you a taste of what it's like.

Hope you enjoy it!
