Does it deserve #1?
Is CARROT Weather worth it?
Yes. CARROT Weather scores 9.0/10 and ranks #1 in Weather. It's best for iPhone owners who want full control over their forecast, with jokes. Skip it if you use Android or just want a quick free forecast. Price: Free to start; Premium Club listed at $4.99 a month or $19.99 a year.
The verdict
CARROT Weather is the rare app that is both the most customizable forecast on your iPhone and the funniest. Pick a personality from polite to profane, then build your own layout, choose data sources like AccuWeather, Apple Weather or Foreca, and add radar, lightning and rain alerts. Widgets, Apple Watch complications and CarPlay are excellent. Most of that needs Premium Club, and the Android version is years behind.
- Five snarky personalities
- Fully customizable layouts
- Choice of weather data sources
- Super Res Radar
