WeatherKit - Weather Forecasts 9+

Version History

• 3.1.1

  Aug 20, 2018
  The summer is almost over and we're eager to start the week with a small update that fixes the Air Quality Index for most of you who had it broken in the first place.
  
  · AQI
  It was working, but we did something and it stopped working. We un-did that thing that we did and now it works again.
  
  · Restore Purchases
  There was a small bug in our purchases flow that made it near to impossible to restore the purchases — "was" is the keyword here.

  Jun 8, 2018
  Imagine a version of WeatherKit that includes hourly forecasts. Now stop imagining that because this version of WeatherKit includes hourly forecasts. Really.
  
  · Hourly Forecasts
  To those of you who insisted on having this neat little feature in WeatherKit, we thank you. You helped us re-prioritize the roadmap and focus on getting this helpful feature done. Simply swipe through all those 24 hours and know how if your picnic is rain-safe.
  
  · Fixed a cat-made bug.
  This is a serious and funny story. Our cat, Sisi, has an affinity for walking on the desk and sometimes on the keyboard. While working on v3.0.4, Adrian drank a lot of juice, often leaving to the bathroom and leaving his desk unattended. She walked over the keyboard and inserted "n-q" on a new line, at the end of a JSON. We deployed her first bug to over 120 000 people. We now promise to never ship her "features" ever again. Cats should never run the world, let alone walking over the keyboard.
  
  · There were other bugs.
  But you already know the story. We fixed some of them.

• 3.0.4

  Jun 3, 2018
  Today's update is all about WWDC, especially for the people in San Jose & Cupertino. We hope you'll enjoy the show.
  
  · WWDC-themed app icon
  We named it WKDC and it stands for WeatherKit Developer Conference. It was pretty rudimentary, but full of courage. #loveApple
  
  P.S. The weather descriptions for San Jose and Cupertino will be related to the conference. *I'm sorry, Craig.*
  
  · Haptic Feedback
  Actually, this was part of the v3.0.3 update. Swiping on the weather card is now triggering a subtle haptic feedback. It's the best haptic feedback we've ever shipped.
  
  Courage.
  
  -
  
  And now, onto the serious stuff again, thanks for trusting WeatherKit for keeping your hair dry. It means the world to us.

• 3.0.3

  May 28, 2018
  I've had an incredible bad day, so I don't really know how to begin writing the notes of this release. I'm trying.
  
  · Motion Gradients
  This is not a huge update, but rather a really neat visual effect. Open WeatherKit and start tilting your phone.
  P.S. You can disable them from Settings.
  
  · Other improvements
  We've made a handful of other minor improvements to improve the WeatherKit experience.
  P.P.S. We'll continue to do this because we love what we do.
  
  If you enjoy using WeatherKit, please take a moment to leave a nice review. It really helps. It'll also make my day slightly better.

• 3.0.2

  May 16, 2018
  Here's a new update - while it's not shiny, it's a step forward for WeatherKit.
  
  · Custom App Icons
  We added a "Customize WeatherKit" option in Settings, from where you can change the app icon to something else. There are only 3 because Raul was overwhelmed with customer support - but we'll add more. I
  
  · Wind Speed in m/s, mph and km/2
  A few of you suggested that *you* should be the one selecting the metric of the wind speed. If you're a Pro, you'll find this under "Customize WeatherKit" in Settings.
  
  · Help Center & Product Roadmap
  We started paying Zendesk (if you're reading this, you're expensive) to host our Help Center and Product Roadmap. You'll find these in Settings.
  
  · We also made a few other improvements and bug-fixing.

• 3.0.1

  May 10, 2018
  Here’s Aerium 3.0… umm, it’s called WeatherKit now. This update is a major step towards the weather app we all want.
  
  Here’s what’s new:
  
  · 5-day forecast
  During our beta, we heard lots of voices saying that we should support at least 5 days of weather forecast. To do so, we invested heavily into how we can make that experience as seamless as possible and our whole team is stoked with the result. Did someone say hourly forecasts? They're next.
  
  · RainAlert
  We love RainAlert only because sometimes it’s invisible. It was designed to only get in your way when you need it more.
  
  · Subscriptions
  To provide you with the best weather data, we’re using the best weather API’s available - and boy, they’re not cheap. We’re a small indie team committed to this project and to the people using it, without turning a profit. In all fairness, we’d love to push the limits on the affordability and in this update, we added multiple Pro subscriptions. You can subscribe to our monthly or yearly plan, or get the best deal available and buy the lifetime in-app purchase.
  
  · Interface & Experience
  We updated the onboarding alongside with the interface for a better user experience. You’ll notice major changes to the swipe-up weather card, both in smoothness and content. It’s a small redesign with a focus on accessibility.
  
  We really, really thank you for echoing our mission and for your support!
  
  ---
  P.S. This text wasn't short at all and looks like you read it all. I'm writing it, pretty scared of tomorrow's launch. What if no media outlets cover us? What if no-one shares it with their friends? What if it'll be a fail? These are normal fears for a independent team like ours, but then we realize that what truly matters is if we actually make an impact. If we do, it's only because of you.
  
  You, our little friend, are our rockstar.

• 2.0.4

  Oct 16, 2017
  What’s New in 2.0.4:
  • Tapping on the widget will open the app, as intended!
  • Solved the bug that crashed the app every time you wanted to save the image you took with Aerium.
  • Sending feedback doesn't crash the app anymore. Yay!
  • We had some bug fixing to do. We did it and we're still doing it.
  • Performance improvements.
  
  Thanks for using Aerium! We’re constantly updating the app to improve the Aerium experience and bring you additional features. Have feedback or questions? Email us at help@wrks.co.

• 2.0.3

  Oct 7, 2017
  === 2.0.3 ===
  
  Once upon a time, there was this little bug in the Today Widget that prevented switching to Fahrenheit. After 3 bad reviews, we found the bug, solved it and now the widget displays the weather in the metric you chose from Settings.
  
  Serious talk now: we fully appreciate your support, but we'd appreciate if you could send the bug reports to help@wrks.co, instead of leaving a bad review. That way, we can solve it faster and get more details about what's going wrong.
  
  Thank you!

• 2.0.2

  Oct 4, 2017
  === 2.0.2 ===
  
  We'll eventually get tired of writing this every two weeks, but we fixed a few little, unexpected behaviors. Also called bugs. But yes, the ones we know about are gone now.

• 2.0.1

  Oct 3, 2017
  World, meet Aerium 2.
  
  === TL;DR ===
  We've completely rebuilt Aerium for iOS 11, from scratch, to improve the overall performance & data efficiency. Instead of trusting the OS to deliver our weather alerts (sometimes it wouldn't do that), we built a powerful server that will make sure that you won't go outside without your umbrella or sunglasses, if that's the case.
  
  === New features ===
  • Air Quality Index. We want to keep you healthy and let you know when it's not safe out there.
  • Glances. Simply swipe right to see and add multiple cities under your watch.
  • Distributed Rain Alert. You can now tell Aerium to alert you for more than one city.
  • Apple Watch. Finally, we extended our device-range to wearables. Best of all? It's free.
  
  
  === Improved features ===
  • Efficiency. Everyday, we're making partnerships with national meteorologic stations in order to provide you with ultra-precise weather data.
  • Battery-friendly. Used on a daily basis, for a week, Aerium will consume under 1% of your battery.
  • GPS. The app will no longer need your location set on "Always". Instead, it'll use your location only when you're using the app.
  
  === What's next? ====
  We're on our way to improve the way people deal with overwhelming weather information. In order to do that, we've put our resources together and made one of the best weather applications out there. If you have any ideas, feedback or experience any inconvenience, send us an email at business@wrks.co and if you consider the application useful, consider sharing it with your friends and leave a review.
  
  === Also, did you know we're hiring our fans? ===
  DM us @getAerium and we'll start from there.

  Thanks for using Aerium. You're the greatest human being that ever lived.
  
  · We fixed a rare crash and fired the lead developer who thought it was a nice „feature”. He was bad, anyway.
  · Before letting him go, he also changed the UI a bit, to make it more readable. He cared about your experience.
  · The new developer, who has the same name and it's just a coincidence, improved the RainAlert system.
  
  If you enjoy Aerium, now is the time to share it with your friends, because it's free for a limited amount of time. And if you have enemies, share the app with them when it'll be back at $3.99.
