Hey everyone. I hope you've all been well.
I was just wondering whether anyone could possibly tell me of any weather apps that when installed, are read out by voiceover as weather AU?
If anyone could let me know as soon as possible, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hello folks,
I'm writing today as I've thought about this long and hard. I was recommended Weather Radio which I've enjoyed. I had written them about some issues which they confirmed via voiceover this year. Sadly, when I wrote through the app to find out about the status of the bug which has to do with reading the alerts and the constant back reading it does, I was informed that the app was removed from the app store.
I got to thinking about what app to use as I liked weather radio and the way it gave alerts.

Hello all,
I am looking for a weather app that will track my iPhones current location, so that I can receive severe weather alerts where ever I might be. The two apps I am considering purchasing are MyWarn, and iMap weather radio. Do any of you have either of these apps, and if so what do you think of them? I will be away from home for 3 weeks next month, so I would like to receive any severe weather alerts where ever I'm at with my iPhone 4S. Any recommendations/thoughts will be very much appreciated! Thank you.
Take care,
Lisa

Hey guys, I am wondering, are there other weather apps that I do not have to subscribe to or pay money for to get notifications for severe weather? The weather app says that notifications for my area are not supported. I’ve checked my location services and all that, and that is all OK. I have an iPhone 12 with iOS 15.4. If possible, I would like one that has an ear grabbing notification sound, not just your typical tritones sound or whatever it is called.

I just reinstalled the Weather Degrees F. app on my iPhone 6S using the latest update of iOS 10. I like having the current temperature displayed on my home screen. However, after having the app on my phone for a day or so, I found that it wasn't updating every 15 or 30 minutes, even though I had the notifications set correctly to do so. It would only update when I opened the app itself, which defeats the purpose. Are there any tricks I can try to make it work correctly; or is there another app that will display the current temperature on my home screen?

Hi Everybody,
Sorry to report that Weather Gods is having some iOS13 crashing.
I'm not running iOS13 myself just yet, but I have analysed the crash reports and made a few fixes.
We have a TestFlight build available which should be more stable on iOS13.
If you are a Weather Gods user and not a beta tester, then I'm happy to extend the beta testing - please email me [email protected].
Thanks

Hi All,
We have been early beta testing severe weather alerts in Weather Gods since the start of the New Year.
I know many of you have been asking for these alerts and I think the app is now reasonably stable to offer up to a wider audience for testing.
We offer alerts for the US, Canada (English and French), UK, France, Germany, Spain, Greece, Italy and Norway. The alerts appear as notifications on the lock screen, an indicator on the widget, an indicator on the Siri screen and full access to the details within the app.

Hi All,
We have a new version of weather gods, 3.5, which unfortunately has a nasty bug regarding the grandfathering status.
Please don't worry about this, I'm hoping to fix as quickly as possible.
Please send me a feedback email and I can tweak from our servers to put back the access.
Most importantly, please don't uninstall the app.
I'm really sorry for this, despite a lot of testing, this one got through.
Regards
Scott

Hi All,
Just stopping by to say our 1.0.3 update is out.
1. Accessibility improvements:
Post Date:
Hi All,
Just a small bug fix.
The main bug we squashed was the data not auto updating when you resumed the app.
We've got another fix waiting with Apple, 1.0.5, which improves the accessibility of the 'data services' error messages and an automatic way to overcome some of the problems we had after yeterdays data outage - without having to uninstall and reinstall the app :(
Please let us know if you find any problems or need any assistance with anything.
Thanks
Scott

Hi All,
Release 1.0.5 is just hitting the app store.
The main changes are around the error handling.
1. We reviewed the error messages and found them not very accessible.
Before you had to tap a small area of the screen to get the app to retry the connection. Now you can two finger double tap anywhere after hearing the message, and Weather Gods will re-attempt to download the weather.
2. We've also improved how the app handles slow or patchy network connections. It allows longer for the data to come back, rather than giving up quite so quickly.

Hi All,
1.0.6 should be hitting the app store today.
Here's the main changes for Voiceover:

Hi All,
Just a small update from a user perspective, but a large change for us from an infrastructure point of view.
We've added another data server called ICE, the existing one is FIRE.
ICE is our backup server should the FIRE server have any outage. You'll get a 'Data Services not responding' message, tap again and we will switchover to using ICE. We automatically switch back to FIRE when it's back online.
FIRE is based in the USA an ICE is in the UK, so should provide good resilience and availability.

Hi All,
Weather Gods 1.0.8 update is now on the App Store.
The main changes are:
Post Date:
Hi All,
Stopping by to announce the release 1.1 of Weather God is now on the App Store.
There are some big changes in this release including a lot of changes for Voiceover users.
1. Feels like temperature
Now available in Settings. This is applied globally throughout the app. It is also affects whether the gods are awake or not. For example the Ice God might have been sleeping because the temperature was just above freezing, but will now be awake if the feels like takes the temperature below freezing.
2. Timeline
Post Date:
Hi All,
We've got a small update out today.
We listened to all the feedback about the feels like temperature and have updated to have the feels like value alongside the actual temperature. So voiceover will now speak the actual temperature and then the feels like value, assuming of course feels like is switched on in settings :)
We also added a new three finger swipe down gesture to the timeline, this will cycle through the gods on the timeline (not the moon god).

Hi All,
Just a quick message to say we've released 1.1.2 today.
The main change is we've fixed the feels like temperature for the day high and low being wrong with voiceover - we managed to flip our heat index and wind chill :)
Our next update is 1.2 and probably the biggest change will be support for the iPad in landscape mode.

Hi,
Just stopping by to announce that release 1.2 is now on the App Store.
The major change for this release is that we've re-engineered out push notification system and moved them into our new cloud system, which we're calling Olympus.
This means you no longer need to keep Weather Gods in the switcher :) and can safely swipe it away and notifications will continue to arrive.

Hi All,
1.3 should be hitting the app store shortly.
The main changes are:
a) You can run Weather Gods in landscape mode on the iPad - all features supported in landscape.
b) We've got a sunset notification to compliment to the sunrise notification
c) The status bar (battery, wifi, cell signal etc) is no longer hidden.
d) The volume slider in settings has been replaced with a picker, so hopefully more accessible
e) We've added the current temperature to the now summary on the fire god timeline
