Weather Gods 1.5

iOS and iPadOS

Hi All,

Our 1.5 update should be hitting the app store in the next 12-24 hours.

Something important to note ... the main screen mentions the app being 'subscription only' - please ignore. It will become subscription only eventually for all new users, but not yet. Anyone who has the app will not be asked to take out a subscription.

What's new or changed?

- support for iOS11 and WatchOS4
- optimised for iPhone X
- we have added dew point, pressure and humidity to the Air God on the main screen and timeline
- fixed the main screen swipe problems which showed up with iOS11
- rotor actions! we've got some custom actions for changing to a different day and different location. The change day actions are on each of the gods. The change location action is on the home button at the bottom of the screen. We would love to hear some feedback on these
- we now announce the name of the god when you three finger swipe down on the time line
- we added the smart weather conditions from the watch into the widget for the now view
- wind gusts are available for all seven days
- we have reduced the amount of GPS location usage we do
- the chance of rain and snow probabilities have been tweaked throughout the app to make them more consistent and useful
- the timeline has been completely re-written to be more responsive and use less memory.

Please let us know what you think of the update and if you have any problems or find any bugs. There is a lot happening with iOS,watchOS and new devices, so we're keen to hear of any problems please.

Regards
Scott

It seems there is a problem with app updates this weekend. It's not showing up yet - other developers affected as well.

Will keep you posted.

Hi All,

It seems that some people are getting the update, hopefully should be out to everybody by the end of the day.

Please let me have any feedback on the rotor actions? If people like them, we can add more.

Thanks
Scott

Hi, I'd like to thank you for taking the time to make your app as VoiceOver-friendly as it is. As for the rotor actions, I do personally like them. It's easier for me to go through the different days this way, for sure. I also like how we can now use the rotor to get to all of our saved locations. Again, thanks for such a great app. :)
