TIL: You can double-tap the current observations on CARROT app to quickly switch between main data source and DarkSky.

@maique what's CARROT? Better to not know that than to run out of coffee.

@paulopinto CARROT has been my weather app of choice for a few years. I’ve gone through a few of them, and I’ve found this one to have a cool balance of playful design, tons of features, and the insults are just too good!

CARROT Weather

@maique you just rang the bells of my weather addiction. Let's see n' pray to have a few spare bucks available.

@paulopinto Configurable notification, a lot of sources, icons galore, crazy talk, lovely widget, watch complications, it has it all.

@dhe With the disappearance of the Dark Sky API I went looking again, and found out it has Climacell as well. I have two other apps installed, but never use them. Carrot is just too good! Just set up another notification, for high temperatures, so we can be ready for the baby’s fits 😊

@maique I love CARROT. I live in “Tornado Alley" here in the US and there's a setting in the app to have severe thunderstorm and tornado warnings override my do not disturb settings. Worked like a charm a couple nights ago when I received an alert after midnight. It could very well be a life saver some day.

@sku\_b Wow! Indeed! I can’t even imagine... For me it’s not really a life-saver, more like a life-helper, but it’s great to know it works that good under stress for you! We’re tornado-free, and DarkSky was failing me on something much smaller: rain. That’s what prompted me to look for another source.

@maique i don't like the idea about having to pay for Apple Watch notifications. Pity Dark Sky isn't available here. It has a nice and clean interface.

@paulopinto I get it. I’m Tier 2, for the other features, so that’s included and I didn’t even notice. DarkSky would be great, but the rain alerts never worked for Portugal anyway, and the app isn’t even available. Now that they’re cutting access to the API Climacell seems great, and the app is cool. Also subscription model, but the API is accessible through CARROT, so I’ll be fine.
