Hi All,
Hope everyone is keeping safe and well.
Weather Gods 3.0.0 is going through a phased roll out. This means everyone should get the update over the next seven days, however, you can update sooner with a manual update.
This update switches us from a paid model to a subscription model and hopefully means the app can cover its data costs going forwards.
Anyone who has previously paid should receive a lifetime premium subscription.
This needs to be activated by:
Hi All,
Just a small update with a ton of bug fixes and a few features, changes.
1. The Weather Wheel is now part of the premium subscription. I didn't really want to do this but we have approaching 25,000 people on the free tier with an average cost of $1 per user per year. So far about 30 subscribers ... not a great business model !
2. You can choose to display wind speed using the Beaufort scale - it's in settings, under units.
Hi,
Dropping by to let you know we have released an update to Weather Gods.
There are many changes and bug fixes but the highlights are:
Hi All,
Hope you're all having a good Sunday!
Just released a bug fix update which addresses problems people have been having with:
- Series 3 and 4 Apple Watch issues, including Voiceover 'dead silence'
- Follow me not really following you. Now it should be working
- A bug fix with the humidity value being incorrect
Thanks
Scott
Hi All,
Hope everyone is keeping well.
We have a new release up on the App Store, which brings some new features.
Weather Station
You can now choose the type of weather station that Weather Gods queries for the latest observation. The default is Metar and this generally means airports providing the observation data.
We also have PWS which is a popular network for home based weather stations. One of our users has successfully added his weather station to PWS and now the data is showing in the app.
Hi All,
Just posting to give some more details about the new release.
As well as a lot of bug fixes, the main update is something which I am trialling, which is bolt ons. These will be subscription based features which I hope offer good value, the idea being is you can stop and start them when needed.
The first one is called the Extended Forecast and is priced at $1.49 per month and offers the following features.
14 day hourly forecast in the Pantheon and Weather Wheel, including the weather gods timelines. This is a global feature
Hi All,
Just a reminder to please update to Weather Gods 3.7 as IBM will be terminating our notifications very shortly. This includes the general notifications such as rain, sunrise etc as well as severe weather alerts. Please pass on the message if you know of other people who are on a version older than 3.7
The update switches from IBM to Amazon for notifications, so they will continue to work.
Thanks
Hi All,
Hope everyone is well?
I have just released 3.7 to the App Store with some new features.
Storm Threats.
This is for the USA only and gives you a comprehensive look at approaching storms or storms that are passing over, letting you know the speed and which direction they are coming from.
The information includes data such as whether the storm is tornadic, is rotating, has lightning, large hail etc. You can configure in settings (under severe weather) the radius that Weather Gods will use when checking for storms, from 25 to 100 miles.
Hi All,
Hope you're all having a good Sunday.
3.8 has been released with a number of new features.
Hi,
Just dropping by to say Weather Gods 4.0.0 was released last week.
The main update is Lock Screen widgets including a dedicated VoiceOver widget that reads out the weather based on priority.
For example, heavy rain would be read out before low UV. However, if it was a really sunny day and the UV was high then this is read first.
For those on the Apple Watch with the smart VoiceOver widget - it's the same implementation.
There are other Lock Screen widgets as well, all of them fully accessible.
Hi,
Just a quick update to say WG 4.1.0 has been released.
Unfortunately there appears to be a bug with the smart forecast on the watch, for which I can only apologise. The alternative is to use the Voiceover Smart Conditions in one of the other watch complication slots.
With regards to the update, the main points of interest ...
Hi Everyone,
Hope you're all having a great weekend.
Just a quick note to say Weather Gods 4.2.0 has been released.
The what's new is quite comprehensive but the summary is :
Hi All,
Hope you're having a great Sunday.
Just stopping by to say that 4.2.1 is now available.
There are a number of changes but the two significant changes are.
Weather Station Widget
You can have your own weather station on your iPhone or iPad, with the iPad supporting the extra large widget size, meaning a really comprehensive weather station.
Hi
Hope everyone is having a great weekend.
Just a quick note to say that 4.3.0 is now on the App Store and the main focus has been on fixing compatibility issues for iOS17 and watchOS10.
This means that all the small Home Screen widgets are Standby optimised and the modular style watch complications work with the new watchOS10 widget stack.
I also fixed lots of small bugs and layout issues with the widgets, complications and watch app.
Hi everybody,
Weather Gods 4.4.0 is now available with the following new features and bug fixes.
Premium Subscribers
Worldwide Lightning notifications.
The notification includes the number of strikes, the distance of the closest strike to you and the bearing.
Worldwide Lightning Data
The app also has a lightning section in the severe weather centre. This lists strikes, the time of the strike, the distance and bearing. There is also a summary if you don't want to jump into the list.
Grandfathered Users

Hi,
Hope everyone is well and the weather is being kind.
I'm just catching up with Weather Gods releases in case people missed the recent updates on the App Store.
4.7 was released with the following features
Hi,
Just a quick message to say Weather Gods 4.8.0 has been released.
It includes USA Weather Radio and the Tropical Cyclone Products for each storm where available.
Weather Radio is part of Premium subscription and available to grandfathered users.
All feedback welcome, especially on the weather radio, I have already been asked to try and source Canadian Weather Radio which I will try and do.

Hi All,
Been a while!
New version out today with some interesting features.
1. Improvements to weather gods sounds with some new sound effects and a more appropriate set of sounds depending on time of day etc
2. The ability to "follow" and be notified about tropical storms as they form and become active in a particular storm basin e.g. all storms for the Atlantic, Eastern Pacific etc. This means you no longer need to start following a particular storm, instead you can be notified as soon as a new storm starts.
On the main weather gods screen where it shows the weather conditions for my city plus the next few days, as I'm swiping down I see something that sounds like it should be the word altitude but voiceover mispronounces it. Anyway the number that's given for this changes quite often so I'm wondering what this is?
