Know before you go: Goworthy 2.4. Your week at a glance: a 7-day forecast on every place. Tap a day for its hour-by-hour temperature, chance of rain and expected rain. Only what fits your spot: Surf and Shelling now show up only where the sea and the tide make them worthwhile (you can still show them anyway). Verdicts that tell you why: every GO, CAUTION and NO-GO lists its reasons, and the big verdict at the top follows your first activity. Wake up for golden hour: switch on a heads-up the evening before when tomorrow's sunrise looks golden. In the Netherlands and Belgium the home screen now follows the live radar for the next two hours. Plus more dependable alerts, a more reliable radar, clearer rain forecasts and a smoother app. Goworthy now needs iOS 18 or later.

A small update with a few fixes so everything runs a little smoother. And as always: if you have a question or an idea to make Goworthy better, I'd love to hear it. You can reach me any time through the support page on the app's App Store listing.

Meet Shelling, Goworthy's new 18th activity. Shelling: a tide-timed activity for beachcombers. Goworthy reads the tide for the best low-water window, and flags the spring tides when the sea drops furthest. Sharper rain and snow alerts: a heads-up about 15 minutes before every shower now (not just the next one), and a background refresh keeps them honest without opening the app. A truer night sky: the animated moon is drawn where the real moon actually is, in its exact phase. Set up in seconds: a quick first-run walkthrough tunes every new place to what you do outdoors. Plus fixes and polish.

Activity screens now match the home at a glance: the activity and its go/no-go rating lead, in the same colour. A calmer, more consistent sky across every screen. Managing a place is easier: swipe to hide an activity, press and hold to reorder. Plus fixes and polish.

Weather you can trust. You set how sure it has to be. A new Minimum rain/snow chance control (Settings, under Advanced) lets you decide how likely rain or snow must be before Goworthy flags it, so a low-confidence blip doesn't cloud a clear day. Dial it up for near-certain rain or snow only, or down to catch every maybe. Rain, to the quarter-hour. The rain and snow outlook now runs on 15-minute data, so "dry right now" is right, and "rain around 13:15" means 13:15, not "around 13." Honest at a glance. The graph fades when the outlook is uncertain, and tells you whether rain or snow is likely or just expected, with the percentage right beside it. One tap to the animated radar straight from the rain card. Notifications are now fully opt-in, and you can set any place's alerts right from its own settings, plus fixes throughout.

Goworthy 2.0 is here, headlined by a live, animated rain radar. Live rain radar on the map. Watch rain and snow move across it, so you can see whether a band is heading your way or clearing out. It is now beautifully smooth, with no ghosting between frames. Snow, on the clock. When snow is on the way, the outlook shows an icy snowfall graph in cm and a snow-cloud, right alongside the rain view. New per-place snow alerts. Get a heads-up about 30 minutes before snow reaches a place you follow, at the threshold you choose (any snow, moderate or heavy), separate from your rain alert. Times follow your phone's 12-hour or 24-hour setting automatically, the Find-nearby map searches are smarter, and duplicate alerts for the same spot are gone. Plus bug fixes throughout.

See the rain coming: when rain is on the way, a spot now shows a clear 24-hour rain outlook. Press and drag along the graph to read the exact time and intensity. New rain alerts: get a heads-up about 30 minutes before rain reaches a place you follow, at the threshold you choose (any rain, moderate or heavy). Plus bug fixes and refinements throughout.
