BeWeather 3 for iPhone

re: BeWeather v3 (Beta) for iPhone

I was hoping you were right.

I'm glad I saw your reply because if I hadn't, I would have continued on thinking that BeWeather Pro 3 was installed on my Watch. I knew it was there before the update because I keep the same 3 weather apps installed (BeWeather, The Weather Channel & Dark Sky) and it is usually the complication.

I agree that it’s only fair to give it a try. Since posts started showing up here on iMore, the developer shared that it’s a work in progress, so I’m content to hang in there!

We have a beta version available (Version 3.0.16). Feel free to download and test. Please post your feedback here.

https://testflight.apple.com/join/Jijx2Mid

New features:
- Search by street address so you can get precise by minute precipitation forecasts for other than your current location
- Alternative selectable data points for hourly and daily forecasts (you will be able to switch to wind, uv index, humidity etc)
- Added new cloud cover data point to current condition data slots
- Location names can now be edited by tapping on the location name in the title
- All locations in widget now have minutely forecast data (where available)

Bug fixes:
- Fixed widget not showing according to configuration
- Fixed custom icons not working
- Fixed app crashing when sharing a weather photo and then saving to photo library on iOS 11+
- Fixed red location indicator not showing on map
- Now skipping hourly forecast items if they are in the past
- Many minor fixes

Known issues:
- Data updates are lagging (i.e. weather data might not be updated right away every time after opening the app)

This version will reset your settings (theme, units etc). Your list of locations should not be affected.

I really like the Selectable data points for hourly and daily!!! This really adds a lot more information and value.

I have a few minor formatting suggestions/issues that I will send in a separate reply later.

One request: for pressure can we have the option to show this as inches HG instead of millibars?

No other issues so far. Widget and custom icons are working for me.

I'm in! Can confirm widget background color options work. However, the forecast temperatures do not show.

I downloaded the Beta as well. First fix, Temp on the Widget Daily Forecast...

I'm not sure what to make of this. In the "next 7 days" section in the app, it shows rain @ 100% when it was sunny, night when it should show day, etc.

Same here. I had nothing but Clear and Sunny weather all day (Sunday), but it's showing 100% rain and Monday is showing the USMC night time icon (silver) as opposed to day time icon (gold)...

I'm getting some overlap on some settings in the Current Conditions section at the bottom. iPhone 6s Plus

This seems to have corrected itself when I switched the data points on daily a few times.

Will the BeWeather Apple Watch Complication be returning?

It will not come back in its current form. We might re-work and add it back in the future if demand is there. Unfortunately due to the change in our data source and the need for very frequent data updates of a watch app/complication we would only be able to offer this as part of a subscription.

I appreciate your posts and keeping us informed! I am looking forward to seeing how the app progresses as it is updated. It's good to have it back!

I totally agree with this post.
MUCH APPRECIATED Pfluger.

- Now skipping hourly forecast items if they are in the past

Does this mean we no longer get the hourly weather notifications?

re: BeWeather v3 (Beta) for iPhone

This issue refers to the in-app hourly forecast that was sometimes showing a forecast for a time that had already passed. It would for example show a forecast for 5pm when it was already 5.45pm local time.

Hourly weather notifications are no longer available in BeWeather 3.

re: BeWeather v3 (Beta) for iPhone

Pfluger, a couple of formatting requests:

1. On my iPhone XS for the current (first) location (see pic), I could see all 7 days with the map on the screen and the rain graph 1 line. Now it looks like there is a bit more space on between lines. It would be nice to make this more compact to see the entire week without scrolling.



2. In the bottom current conditions section can you add the new cloud cover? And the formatting is a bit off with the first 2 lines showing 3 items and the bottom line showing 2 items with the Moon taking 2 slots. The bottom line just looks odd on off center.

Thanks.

For the record I vote for an Apple Watch Complication....For the record

Thank you, pfluger. Thus far, the latest version is working well on my iPhone. Job well done, sir.
