A whole weather app, on your Home Screen & Apple Watch
Weather Up 3.0 brings at-a-glance, interactive widgets right to your Home Screen. It’s like having a full weather app… on your Home Screen! With 3.0 we’re also launching a full-featured, watchOS 10 optimized Apple Watch app and complications.
We’ve been working on this update for 4+ years and are thrilled to finally launch.
If you’re curious why it took 4 years and the thousands of iterations behind what you see today, I posted a thread on Twitter: https://x.com/drbarnard/status/1...
TLDR; Our guiding principle was to build “a weather person on my wrist” as one of our users requested. We refined our design over and over to make it glanceable and intuitive.
Let me know if you have any questions about the app, our process, or anything else…
