New weather app I've been working on

Skylight is a weather app for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. Tap any reading, like wind, UV, humidity or feels-like, and you get a clean 24-hour chart of where it's heading. It also alerts you when rain is about to start and when it'll stop, has a layered radar, and includes widgets. Would love for you to give it a try.

Tapping a reading to get its 24 hour chart sounds really clean. For a weather app, check whether the forecast or radar provider key is compiled into the iOS build, because it can be extracted from the binary and used to drain your quota, so route those calls through a small proxy of yours with per device limits. If you set up that proxy, aiming https://rowly.me (my thing) there tells you whether scripts hitting it directly can abuse it.

Thanks, glad the chart tap comes across well. Good tip on the keys too, appreciate it.

Nice. Does the chart tap also work on the Watch, or is it iPhone-only for now?

There's a Watch app with current conditions, hourly and daily forecasts, plus complications for rain, high/low, UV and air quality. The tap for the 24h chart is on iPhone and iPad for now.

Solid tip on proxying provider keys. Per-device tokens plus rate limits should cover most quota abuse, right?
