New: Precipitation Radar, Green Speed, and Frost Delay Alerts.
- Live precipitation radar — see exactly where rain is around your course before you tee off
- Green speed estimate — know if the greens will play fast or slow based on recent weather
- Frost delay alerts — get a heads-up when morning frost might delay your tee time, so you're not waiting in the parking lot
3.7.0 Jul 16
NEW: Tools tab — your on-course utility belt
- Live wind compass: see where the wind is coming from and set your shot direction right on the dial
- Daylight tracker: sunrise, sunset, time remaining, and the latest you can start 18 holes
- Quick scorecard: start a round anywhere — no course selection needed
Smarter wind analysis
- Set your shot direction and see the head, tail or crosswind effect in yards and clubs
Proactive weather alerts
- Frost delay forecast: know when the course should clear before you leave home

Better round planning
- Rain timing for your round — "dry through your round" or "rain likely around 2 PM"

Plus a shorter onboarding, a refreshed compass-equipped Tools experience, and reliability improvements across notifications.
3.6.0 Jul 10
This update fixes a few minor issues in the notification system, so the alerts you receive are more consistent and reliable.
3.5.1 Jun 20
This update makes Weather4Golf smarter about when you should play:
- Redesigned Plan tab — your next 10 days, ranked by golf playability so the best days to tee it up stand out at a glance. No more clutter, no repeated info.
- Sharper daily scores — playability now reads each day's hour-by-hour forecast instead of a daily average, so a brief afternoon shower no longer hides a perfectly playable morning.
- More reliable golf alerts — your daily best-tee-time and outlook notifications now schedule several days ahead and follow your selected course's local time zone.
- Play without sharing location — prefer not to grant location access? Just pick a course and you're in.
- Faster course search and plenty of under-the-hood polish.
As always: warm, practical golf decisions — should you play, when should you tee off, and what to expect on the course.
