Carrot Weather wants to make Dark Sky people happy
5.9.2 update to Carrot Weather for iOS is now available with the new layout option. To activate this view, open the updated app, access the Layout Gallery and hit the Inline layout option. You can customize this view to your liking.
Carrot is pitching this update to fans of the hyperlocal meteorological app Dark Sky. The app already offers features that Dark Sky users will be familiar with, like custom threshold notifications and a weather time machine.
Carrot features unavailable in Dark Sky
Carrot also has features not found in Dark Sky: watchOS complications, widgets, a fully customizable interface, additional weather data sources, lightning and storm cell notifications, professional-grade individual radar stations and more.
The app made a name for itself with hilariously twisted forecasts and sarcastic remarks. You can change its personality in settings with options ranging from Friendly to Snarky to Homicidal and Overkill (which includes profanity).
Dark Sky features available in Apple’s Weather app
Following the acquisition, Apple folded many Dark Sky features into its own Weather app on iPhone, iPad and Mac like down-to-the-minute precipitation forecasts, severe weather alerts, hourly forecasts for the next ten days, hyperlocal weather forecasts and more.

Apple then pulled the Android version and is about to discontinue the Dark Sky service and engine on January 1, 2023. So yeah, good timing on Carrot’s part.
An offer for Dark Sky users
In another effort to lure Dark Sky users, Carrot is also offering a limited-time discount on subscriptions. New Carrot users with Dark Sky installed on their iPhones can get 25 percent off the Premium Ultra subscription, or $30/year instead of $40/year. Carrot says that this marks the first time it’s offered a discount on Premium Ultra.
Carrot subscriptions come with a free 7-day trial.
