User Reviews
Pros
- Distinctive retro 8-bit pixel design and vibe that many users love
- Weather data is accurate and reliable
- Clean, minimalist interface that’s pleasant and easy to use
- Fun, nostalgic feel that makes checking the weather enjoyable
- Compact, glanceable presentation of key data on a scrollable index
Cons
- Stability issues: app crashes or fails to load on iPhone and Apple Watch (spinners, blue screens)
- Missing or hard-to-access data and customization: dew point, wind gusts, barometric pressure; sunrise/sunset times; inability to customize main index or add data; lack of a weather map or hourly widget
- Poor/watch integration: watch app often unusable (blue screen), no watch complications disponible
- Time format problems: 24-hour clock used by default; requests for 12-hour format (some updates address this)
- Air quality data transparency: unclear data sources/location of sensors for AQI

I love the 8-bit vibe of this app. But here are a few suggestions:
- main index (scrollable temp, air quality, forecast, etc): allow uses to decide what to display and the order in which they are displayed. For example, I have little need for an air quality or UV index, given where I live.
- add a weather icon legend under the gear menu: like, why does a rainbow signify “fair” weather? In winter, no less.
- add a way to view dew point, wind gusts, and barometric pressure. In Carrot you just tap the day’s temp and a separate screen opens which allows one to view the above measurements all together (I use their Dark Sky copy for my layout…I miss Dark Sky!). In fact, it would also be nice to also be able to add these separate data points onto the scrollable index. For example, I could choose to first see the temp, swipe to see the dew point, swipe again to see the forecast, etc etc.
I’m thinking of trying to figure out how to buy (or build?) a Pixel Weather Station…is there someone who builds them for you?
But I do love the look of this thing. Sorta wish I could mod the colors, but no biggie.

I got this weather app because of its cool retro vibe. It looks like the love child of Prodigy and a Nintendo. It dares you not to take it seriously, but then you find it does a great job of telling you the weather. Then add in that it has all sorts of features, information, and hidden gems. What’s not to love? Seriously, I just want to live inside of it.
