Mercury Weather is a cool indie app that works as an alternative to Apple’s Weather app. Following an update in August that added new features to the app, there’s now another update available – and this one provides notifications about weather conditions.
Here’s what’s new in Mercury Weather
Users can opt to receive precise notifications about rain and snow, as well as alerts for severe weather conditions. The app can also send follow-up notifications if the precipitation forecast changes or with estimates of whether it will be a short shower or rain for the rest of the day.
In addition, version 2.8 of the app also adds a new large detailed widget that shows current conditions, rainfall, as well as hourly and daily forecasts.
For those unfamiliar, Mercury Weather has a unique design, as well as cool features like an option to let users choose between different weather data providers – including Apple Weather, OpenWeather and Foreca.
The app also comes with multiple widgets for the Home and Lock Screen. Another important detail is that the app is available for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and Apple Vision Pro.
Mercury Weather was developed by the same team behind Orbit, an app that helps people manage freelance work, calculate working hours, and generate invoices.
You can download Mercury Weather for free on the App Store. However, some features such as adding multiple locations require a subscription which starts at $2.99 per month. There are also lifetime licenses available for individuals and families.
