Nimbus 1.0.9

Fixed

  • Turning on Background updates now explains how to allow location access in Settings, instead of the switch quietly turning itself off again.
  • Your current location now updates soon after you've moved, in the app and in widgets, instead of sometimes showing where you were earlier.
  • iPad: cities in the Locations sidebar no longer occasionally stop responding to taps.
  • iPad: city and region names in the Locations sidebar now use the full width instead of being cut short.
  • Apple Watch: your current location now updates when you open the app after moving, instead of staying on where you were earlier.

Nimbus 1.0.8

Fixed

  • Switching between Open-Meteo and Apple Weather now updates the rain card straight away.
  • Switching weather source quickly no longer leaves both sources showing the same forecast.
  • Switching back to a weather source you used recently shows its forecast at once, without a flash.
  • Air quality and the comparison with normal temperatures now update whenever the forecast refreshes.

Nimbus 1.0.7

New

  • The full 10-day forecast is now free, with the detail for every day
  • Air quality is now free in the app
  • Save up to five cities for free, up from three
  • More widgets are now free: Forecast on the Home Screen, 3-Day Forecast on the Lock Screen, and Week Ahead and Ten Days on iPad
  • Apple Watch: the full 10-day forecast, and up to five cities, for free

Nimbus 1.0.6

Fixed

  • Rain is only shown when it's likely: a day no longer shows a drizzle icon when there's no chance of rain.
  • A day's rain total now matches the forecast instead of adding up tiny amounts that aren't expected to fall.
  • The same rule now applies everywhere, including hourly rain, the rain card, the advice, widgets and the Lock Screen.
  • Apple Watch: rain amounts and complications follow the same rule, so the watch and iPhone agree.
  • Apple Watch: complications use much less battery after you raise your wrist.
  • In landscape, the sun now sets on time instead of staying on the horizon on evenings when the moon rises late.
  • The current conditions no longer say Clear under a full cloud cover.

Nimbus 1.0.5

Fixed

  • City search is fixed: searching "London" now finds London first, you always get a full list of places, and street addresses no longer appear among the cities.
  • Long place names in search now stay on one line.
  • Weather loads reliably on mobile data, including the full forecast when Apple Weather is your source.
  • Apple Watch: opening the app no longer shows "Retry" straight away. It keeps trying for up to a minute, and loads as soon as you allow location.
  • Apple Watch: cities in your favourites list load properly instead of showing a "couldn't load" icon.

Nimbus 1.0.4

New & improved

  • Better battery life: widgets now refresh only for the places they show, and no more than once a minute.
  • City search now uses Apple Maps for more accurate place names, so it's easier to find your city.
  • Midnight sun and polar night: in the far north and south, Nimbus now shows a sun that never sets in summer and a sky that stays dark in winter.
  • Stars now appear at night in the widgets and at the top of each detail view.
  • A clearer update indicator: the status dot pulses while new weather loads, then turns green when it's ready. The refresh button turns while it updates.
  • Apple Watch: Sky Trend now marks sunrise and sunset, and the city screen shows a spinner while new weather loads.

Fixed

  • When the moon is up all day, it now stays above the horizon instead of dipping below it.
  • Where the map only gives a placeholder like "Sector", Nimbus now shows the city name instead.
  • Apple Watch: the city screen now refreshes when you return to the app, and the sky-only complications no longer have a dark band across the top.
  • iPhone Duo: the main screen no longer shows a seam across both pages when half-folded, and the cards look right on the outer screen.
  • Small visual refinements throughout.
