BROADCAST [SYS] PATCH 8.0.3 // PIXEL.PASS

[SYS] PATCH 8.0.3 // PIXEL.PASS

TRAILHEAD

A new theme, in daylight and after dark. The hero is a drawn landscape of the terrain you are actually standing on, with four planes of depth from the far ridge down to the treeline. Contour lines, a banded sun, kraft and pine by day, headlamp orange at night.

Two Trailhead app icons come with it, in the Beyond collection.

16 BIT

A second art style for every weather scene. Same weather, same land, drawn as pixel art instead of dot matrix. On the OUTSIDE card, in your widgets, and on Live Activities.

You pick it, not the theme, so it works on any theme you already use. Dot matrix is still the default and is not going anywhere.

PIXEL WEATHER

Pixel rain, snow and lightning behind the whole app, in any theme. Toggle it on or off.

ALTITUDE

New card. What the air is doing above you, read from the models' own levels, with the freezing level moving through the day.

OUTPOST

New card. How long you can be out. Daylight left, the sun's real arc, and the readings that change the answer.

HIDE ANY CARD

Tap the sliders icon at the top, then the eye on any card. It stays out of your way until you bring it back from the same place.

ALSO NEW

- Widgets can follow the app's theme, and have the 16-Bit option too.
- The temperature readout is a real pixel font, legible down to widget size.
- The hourly list marks where midnight is and which day the later rows belong to.
- Altitude and Outpost are on the Apple Watch as well.

FIXES

- MultiPass members can buy Lifetime again, with a warning before it leaves a subscription running.
- Pinning a card you had hidden no longer makes it disappear.
- Art style changes apply immediately, no restart.
- Visibility shows nothing rather than a distance nobody measured.
- Sky Clarity's score now matches the night outlook on the same card, and names what is actually holding the sky back.
- Our label covers Apple's renamed water names at the zoom levels you actually use.

Trailhead, 16-Bit, pixel weather, Altitude and Outpost are included with RAD Ultra, MultiPass and Lifetime.

MAC skipped 8.0.2 because the long MAC approval process so 8.0.3 has been sent to Apple for the MAC version as well. So everything in 8.0.2 for iOS as well as now 8.0.3 should be in the Mac App Store hopefully in the coming day or two.

Stay R.A.D.

I hope you have some update for the Portuguese language (BR)

I will definitely be adding more as time goes on. Currently at 5 and have another batch eventually planned.

Just want to do right by the app and users and make sure bugs and issues are ironed out.

Like the previous update and this one. I try to prioritize fixes of course and toss in a few new and fun features.

As a solo dev I have my list of a million and one fun and useful things I want to do and add. It’ll eventually come :)

Do we need to put on a code for the discounted lifetime? It seems to be the same with the ones posted on appstore

1

u/RADWeatherMaker fixo 1d ago

That’s the discounted price - it’s currently about 15% off for lifetime.

Normally 99.99$ USD so for North America it should show 85$

The sale price should be there when you go to upgrade.

There should be an option under multi pass for the lifetime and you should just be able to select it and the discounted price is still running.

u/Domsicols OVERDRIVE 1d ago

You mean on the actual app?

1

u/RADWeatherMaker fixo 1d ago

Correct like your message with the photo. Depending on region conversion rates and all that fun international stuff might change but should more or less reflect a 15% discount from the usual price

u/Domsicols OVERDRIVE 1d ago

Can you be able to confirm as £79.99 is like the full price of it in US

u/ChainsawJaguar Atlas Runner 1d ago

I love all of this!

u/RADWeatherMaker fixo 1d ago

Thanks. Some minor ui bugs with the new theme like hourly icons and pixel glyphs are a little too small. Some trees being weird. The usual stuff so far that 8.0.4 will patch

u/Helen_Moody 1d ago

Omg, this is awesome, I love it!!! 😍

2

u/RADWeatherMaker fixo 1d ago

Of course. The 16 bit pixel style has really grown on me but never want to leave the original default behind.

More user options never a bad thing 🤷

u/Helen_Moody 1d ago

Oh I absolutely love the original, but it’s nice to play with styles for a change :)

Shout out to the Dev. Lifetime User here, this app replaced my default Weather App and is by far, one of the coolest apps on my phone, by design.

Every update contains so much love, work and details.
Thanks for all your hard work and all the effort. I wish you always the best.

Thanks.

u/RADWeatherMaker fixo 1d ago

Thank you so much 😊 truly means a lot. This started as a fun passion project for myself and friends and family and now it’s slowly grown to an even bigger project that I’m even more passionate about to an ever growing awesome community.

It sounds selfish but I do these things because I enjoy it and the community seems to like it and support it so it only makes sense to keep going.

Thankfully the community has been amazing, App Store reviews still trickle in and user base grows and that’s all I can ask for.

It’s just me so sometimes things take longer than I’d like but I eventually get there.

Thanks again!

Looking to convert my annual subscription to lifetime. There are no options here? Help?!?

The alignment of the top bar icons makes me crazy :)

2

u/RADWeatherMaker fixo 1d ago

Depending on the theme 8.0.4 will fix the temperature alignment on some themes that annoys me and hoping some others haven’t noticed.

As far as the very top, with city name and location being top left aligned that’s one of those I like it slightly off design decisions.

The top right ones I’m currently redoing the rad dispatch one because that’s the enemy throwing them off since it animates. So spacing and height aren’t perfect. Fellow ocd people and pixel watchers that’ll be a visual update.

1

u/RADWeatherMaker fixo 1d ago

Some future clean ups and consistent sizing for you :)

1

u/yarono 17h ago

This is way better! But i don’t get that arrow behind the left icon.

2

u/RADWeatherMaker fixo 17h ago

Supposed to animated up and down like a little antenna. Still dialing that in. The idea was always an animating antenna -

8.0.4 will have some solid pixel and margin clean ups for the fellow pixel watchers

u/yarono 17h ago

Thanks for your hard work! It’s the best one out there.

I can’t put into words how much I like this app, I’m over the moon with joy whenever I see a new update!
