Just a quick update to say that Weather Gods 1.6 has been released.
This has been a big update for us in terms of the internals of the app and the user interface. A lot has changed. We have also added Norwegian and I would like to say a massive thank you to Cliff Isaksen who carried out the translation and ensured that all the voiceover translations were spot on.
No, I didn't expect to be back quite so soon either :)
Unfortunately the last release introduced a very nasty random bug which would cause the weather wheel to crash. It affected about 2-3% of our user base, but I wasn't happy to leave it. Hopefully this one has now been squashed, although I was never able to reproduce it with my testing.
I also took the opportunity to fix a couple of other annoying bugs:
This release should be hitting the store shortly and hopefully fixes the notification problem.
Important: this is the first update from our new company Weather Gods Ltd. We've had many issues trying to get the update to the store. I'll try and describe the process and then the problem we have had.
Just a small update appearing on the app store shortly ...
1. We have improved the location tracking of the watch complication when running a GPS location. As a result of the tweaking, you should find the follow me notifications a little more reliable as well.
2. The weather not updating when resuming the app has been fixed.
3. Finally, the GPS location in the app will also update when the app is resumed.
Just a quick reminder ... to enable the watch complication in GPS mode:
Our 1.8 release should be hitting the store by now.
It's taken longer than we expected, Siri proved challenging with Voiceover for us, but I think we got there in the end with the help of our iOS12 beta testers.
- Support for new iPad Pro models
- You can now toggle notifications for individual locations
- Voiceover users now have access to the latest observation - you will find this after the current forecast label.
- Fixed the widget not always working on the iPad
- Chinese localisation
- Many bug fixes and performance improvements throughout.
Our latest update should be hitting the App Store shortly.
The main change for this update was to improve the weather description in the notifications for rain, snow and thunderstorms. Previously you would receive "Light Rain" even if it was just a few showers or drizzle. Hopefully more useful.
Weather Gods 2.0 has been approved by Apple and should be hitting the various stores soon.
There is a lot that has gone into 2.0.
- Severe weather alerts for the USA, Canada, UK, Germany, France, Spain, Greece, Norway and Italy. I may add other European countries depending on demand. Canadians can choose English or French for the alert text.
- There are two new Siri shortcuts. You can ask Siri if there are any weather alerts for your current location, and ask Siri for the current weather conditions.
Just a quick post to say that Weather Gods 2.2 will be hitting the App Store today.
The main changes are bug fixes, especially around iOS13, localising warning information and the Siri Watch Face.
I'm still working on porting Weather Gods to the Mac - it's a slow process, also being found by other developers as well.
As ever, if you're enjoying Weather Gods but haven't left a review on the App Store then we would love to hear your feedback please. There is a direct link in Weather Gods settings.
It's been a long time and I hope everyone is well and taking care in these difficult times.
After six months of work, Weather Gods 2.4 is finally done.
The reason for taking such a long time is I had to re-write the app from the ground up in order to support current and future iPhone and iPad devices released by Apple. The old WG was hand-crafted for every new device Apple released and Apple have informed their developers that all screens have to adapt and they wont accept new updates from apps that don't do this.
