But I’d be shocked if those stations are not tracking users and selling data. I live in Oklahoma, so I mainly rely on weather apps from local news stations, since weather is regularly a matter of life and death here and local sources are the most reliable and knowledgeable here. One of the main things that drew me to this app was the developer’s promise not to sell user data. Trying to please everyone is never a recipe for a great product, but Carrot includes a lot of options and features with a UI that focuses on what’s important. It’s highly configurable, which I enjoy and makes a lot of sense because everyone is looking to get something a little different out of a weather app. Just starting to get acquainted with the app, but it’s going well so far. Maybe I just don’t understand radar, but I don’t want to see where a storm has been (rather, where it’s anticipated to go and what time the worst part of the storm is expected to pass through). ![]() But after paying for the app, you’d have to pay more to be a premium member to get the basic function of notifications.)įuture radar would be helpful too. (Revision after developer response - yes, they do have notifications. Hell, even Candy Crush has notifications. The radar map in the app even shows it, but the chance of precipitation on the summary page at the same time says 0%.)Īlso don’t like that I paid for this app and I don’t get notifications. Example: today it’s been storming outside. ![]() That’s why I took the trouble to incorporate a bunch of additional weather data sources in the app.” But the issue is that whatever sources in use don’t seem to be connecting to the summary page. (Developer response: “Not every weather data source can be accurate in every corner of the world. It has not been very accurate when it comes to rain amount or times - one time was predicting less than 10% chance of rain, despite tv weather report to the contrary.downloaded 4 free apps just to compare (weather channel, accuweather, weather bug, weather underground), and Carrot Weather was the anomaly in forecast.and it was incorrect. I don’t mind ads or subscription-only features, but I cannot stand paying for an app only to realize I ALSO need to pay for a subscription before I can use the app like other weather apps. I understand that people worked hard on this app, but make the app itself free and offer a $3 annual subscription fee for background refresh and unlocked widgets. I like the design of CARROT but it’s not worth a $5 app AND a $30 subscription. Stuff like background refresh and weather widgets are free on other apps. But now it feels like they’re milking me for every last cent and their “extra” features should be free to begin with. I was finally excited to see a feature both unique AND useful from CARROT. When the widgets came out, I was super excited to see CARROT really go all in. I’d give it 4 stars back then, it was good but the free options were better. I bought this app years ago, it was funny but it didn’t offer any better weather data than the other free apps I had and $5 for data that other apps gave free felt like a small rip off. $30 every YEAR?! It’s a fun app and I like the widgets but I already paid $5 for the app and now you want me to pay ANOTHER $30 annually to unlock all the features? No thank you. ![]() NOTE: If the links below doesn't work for you, Please go directly to the Homepage of Grailr LLC The following contact options are available: Pricing Information, Support, General Help, and Press Information/New Coverage (to guage reputation).
