[SYS] PATCH 8.0.5 // NEW.VOICES RAD Weather now speaks Italian and Brazilian Portuguese. The whole app, from the briefing to the widgets to the Watch, not just the menus. It also answers Siri. Ask whether you need an umbrella, what tonight's sky looks like or when the tide turns, or have it roast your weather. On iPhone, and on Apple Watch even when your phone is out of reach.

[SYS] PATCH 8.0.4 // NIGHT.WATCH Star Watcher is a new card for anyone who looks up. It answers one question, for the way you actually observe: is tonight worth going outside for, and when. The whole night sits in one chart, the good stretch is bracketed, and you can drag across any hour to read what is going on. When it cannot say, it says so instead of guessing. Precipitation opens into a full page now. The next hour minute by minute, every hour carrying both the answer and how far apart the models still are, how much actually lands, and the week. All of it was already in the app. None of it had ever been drawn. The rest of 8.0.4 is the patch list. Things that were wrong, including a Cloud Cover card whose next twelve hours could start seven hours ago. - Star Watcher: whether tonight is worth going outside for, which hours, and what is in the way.
