CARROT’s big premium selling point is letting you pick which weather data provider the app references. Darksky/Weatherkit went through a perceived slump after their acquisition, so folks turned to sites like https://www.forecastadvisor.com/ to figure out who was providing the most accurate data in their region.
Other than that, it offers up a few more detailed views, push notifications, and other UI tweaks. They’re one of those companies that tries jumping onboard with things like Apple Watch apps or home screen widgets ASAP.
You probably don’t need CARROT, but if you don’t like the stock Weather app, CARROT probably has something for you.
It’s one guy, Brian, not a company haha. Kind of like Apollo. I’ve followed him since his first app Carrot To-Do which shamed you into completing tasks. Still wish he’d update that one, it was fun.
Haha, oh wow, I had somehow missed that. Brian’s done great work with Carrot.
