The timing was definitely right to introduce iCloud settings sync. CARROT offers over 150 different settings that can be configured to your liking, so having to manually set those up on each device would be (and has been) a pain. Introducing a more robust iPad app wouldn’t be complete without another improvement: iCloud sync for the app’s settings. The changes aren’t significant, but as you can see in the side-by-side screenshots below, the updated app supports adding more data points to the screen, all of which can be customized to your liking, there’s a new pop-up day details screen, and it adapts well even to reduced sizes in Split View.ĬARROT’s latest update (left) and previous version (right). Taking better advantage of the iPad’s display is another improvement in today’s update. While I would have liked to see shortcuts taken even further – for example, enabling navigation of what’s on-screen or in menus via arrow keys – what’s included is a solid step forward. Joining the existing options to open Maps, Alerts, cycle through locations, and more, there are now shortcuts to view weather for your current location, go straight to the Achievements, Notifications, and Settings screens, and there’s even a shortcut for poking CARROT’s ocular sensor. Several keyboard shortcuts were offered in the previous iPad app, but more have been added in today’s update. While I likely won’t put CARROT in Split View often myself, which is why I didn’t miss the feature much before now, the app makes a great Slide Over candidate – especially in iPadOS 13 where you can have multiple Slide Over windows open at once. One of those was the absence of support for Split View and Slide Over multitasking, which are both available now. You could see more things on-screen at once, but the app still lacked in several key ways. Additionally, since the iPad app is maturing in several key ways, CARROT has added iCloud sync for all of the app’s 150+ settings options, ensuring you won’t need to configure settings on both iPhone and iPad.īefore now CARROT Weather’s iPad app has mainly been a larger version of its iPhone counterpart. Today in version 4.12, CARROT Weather debuts a modernized iPad app that takes advantage of the features core to a great iPad experience: multitasking support, more keyboard shortcuts, and a tweaked design that better utilizes large displays.
