I’ve been using the default Apple Weather app since getting my iPhone earlier this year. It’s been fine but over the last few days it seems to be less accurate in general.
I’m in Ireland if that matters.
Edit: Updated the title to include iOS specifically
Maybe you’re right about the joke ads. Last I looked (prior to commenting) I saw ads, but I am just now checking and this ad is for “plain white paper”. lol Killed it and after a restart the ad is for “Premium TPS Report Templates”. Okay, I retract my previous statement on the ads.
The yearly subscription is bonkers though. Thanks for setting me straight!
Haha yeah the joke ads are actually optional, I turn them on because they are funny.
I would pay for premium carrot if I wasn’t on a budget…apps like weather underground and weather channel are fucking hideous nowadays with the ads. The dev of carrot is just one guy and pretty cool, always answers tweets snd emails, used to show up on Reddit to chat with people (maybe still does - I will never know). I wouldn’t feel bad giving him a couple bucks a month.
At this point I limit myself to 1 or 2 app subscriptions at most. I paid for Apollo when it was alive…I paid for an annual of Day One this year because journaling helps with my therapy. But what I pay for is going to be very limited to a couple of things I support or have some reason to support the specific service or developer. The tapbot guy who made Tweetie and revolutionized Twitter clients, or the dev of Alien Blue back in the day are more good examples. Just good apps and good people doing good work.
Most of these apps are just trash and the subscriptions HIGHLY outweigh the value of what they offer pretty damn quickly….they cross their fingers and hope people don’t cancel the trial. It’s a crappy way to make money.
