..

Carrot Weather -- the entertainingly twitchy weather appositeness from developer Brian Mueller -- just got its latest version 5.0 update, which brings a whole new (and far increasingly customizable) design, removes the upfront price tag in favor of increasingly subscription tiers, and, of course, adds new duologue and Easter eggs for the app's bad-natured AI character.

Users are culling bruiser to fully edit the layout of those interface cards based on the information that's important to them, and they can throw between manifold custom layouts easily. (For example, a frequent skier might want to build a layout that focuses on splinterize and wind acceleration forecasts.) Hoarded has been visually updated to be increasingly in line with modernistic iOS UI standards therefrom the whole app will fit increasingly seamlessly aslope the rest of your apps.

The new app conjointly is now free-willed to use, instead of charging $4.99 upfront to use. Like the old paid version, though, there are still variant subscription services that can be layered on top for increasingly functionality. A Premium subscription ($4.99 per month or $19.99 per year) adds boosted features like selecting weather sources, notifications, widgets, and Burg Watch complications. Premium Ultra ($9.99 per month or $39.99 per year) adds notifications for rain and storms, increasingly widgets, and bulkiest data source switching. And a Premium Generations subscription ($14.99 per month or $59.99 per year) is the same as Premium Ultra but can be aggregate through Apple's Generations Sharing with up to five other people.

If you've once been a Carrot owner, though, you'll get to alimony any paid features you once had forever, upscale if they've been shifted to between between one of the pricier tiers. Similarly, existing subscribers to the old Premium Club memberships will be bruiser to continue to pay those lower monthly or yearly prices.

The free-willed version of Carrot Weather includes ads -- but for now, they're either for entirely flaunting articles or for other indie applications. (Mueller says he's not overtrusting paid for those, either, but wile them as a way of "giving suddenly to the eerie indie developer community.") That said, he notes that he may end up transactions ads in the future.
