MAD PIGEON SHOWS UP • Mad Pigeon is redrawn in the same flat print style as the rest of the app, so the whole screen finally reads as one piece. • He breathes. He leans into the wind, shivers when it's cold, and hunches down when he's stuck under an awning. • On your first check-in of the day, and whenever the weather turns serious, he hands you the Real Talk himself in a speech bubble. YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD, NOT JUST YOUR BOROUGH • The backdrop now changes as you move through the city. Times Square, Williamsburg, Harlem, Coney Island, and DUMBO each have their own artwork, and everywhere else falls back to its borough. • The artwork pans with you as you scroll, so the skyline settles onto the bottom of the screen as you reach the end. • Cards on the Today screen rise into place as you scroll instead of all arriving at once. WEATHER THAT LOOKS LIKE THE WEATHER • Every animation was rebuilt. Rain falls in layers and slants with the wind, snow flutters instead of dropping straight down, fog drifts in banks, and sunlight moves across the screen. • Lightning is its own thing now. A thunderstorm flashes and forks across the sky, and plain rain no longer implies lightning that isn't there. • The animations read the real conditions, so snow driven by high wind looks nothing like a still snowfall, and a drizzle no longer looks like a downpour. PICK YOUR ERA • A new Vernacular Era setting lets you choose which decades of NYC vernacular Real Talk draws from, anywhere from the 80s to right now. • Open it wide for the full range, or narrow it to the era you came up in. ALERT SOUNDS, UNDER CONTROL • Alert sounds no longer replay every single time you open the app. A warning that's still in force isn't new information. • Only a genuine emergency plays through a silenced phone. Advisories respect the ringer switch and mix with whatever you're already listening to. • There is an Alert Sounds switch in Settings if you'd rather have none of it. ALSO IN THIS RELEASE • Real Talk is now written entirely by the app's own engine, which keeps the voice sharper and more consistent than having it paraphrased. • Mad Weather now requires iOS 18.

MadWeather is now Mad Weather — same app, easier for Siri to hear. REAL TALK GETS SMARTER • Real Talk now reads the weather the way you actually experience it. Downpours, thunderstorms, and gray days each get the right energy. No more cookout talk under an overcast sky. • The Season card and the main status now agree with each other, always. • On iPhones with Apple Intelligence, Real Talk lines are freshly written for each check-in — on-device or through Private Cloud Compute — so the voice never gets stale. Same facts every time, just said differently. SIRI THAT ACTUALLY ANSWERS • "Hey Siri, what's my Mad Weather status?" now gives you a live report: temperature, conditions, your subway lines, and the Real Talk. No need to open the app first. • Want your own phrase? Rename the shortcut in the Shortcuts app to anything you like and Siri will respond to it. ONE TAP, ANYWHERE • New Control Center button shows your current temperature and conditions, and taps to deliver your full Real Talk status — no unlock required. • Assign it to the Action Button for a one-press weather check. • The home screen widget now refreshes the moment the app does, instead of waiting on its own timer. ALERTS THAT MEAN SOMETHING • Get notified when conditions actually change: rain starting or stopping, a sudden temperature swing, a storm moving in. • Updates replace each other instead of piling up, so your Lock Screen always shows what's true right now. UNDER THE HOOD • Fixed wind speed showing different units on different screens. • Fixed thunderstorms being reported as ordinary rain. • Fixed the Factoid card never showing its snow and rain facts. • Plus stability and accuracy fixes throughout.

Real Talk just got way more real. • REAL TALK ENGINE 2.0 — 100+ new phrases, no repeats. Language that escalates the longer bad weather sticks around. Humidity, nighttime, and wind combos all get their own lines now. • MTA SUBWAY STATUS — Live service alerts for all 25 lines, straight from the MTA. Know if the N is rerouted before you hit the platform. • AIR QUALITY INDEX — Real-time AQI for your location. We'll tell you if the air is valid or if you should stay inside. • GLASS UI POLISH — Uniform shimmer across all cards. No more competing reflections. Clean like fresh Timbs. • MY LINES — Favorite up to 5 subway + bus lines. Your lines show up first on the MTA card so you know what's good before you leave the crib. • WEATHER ALERT SOUNDS — Three tiers of alert sounds matched to severity. Severe weather gets the siren. Moderate gets the "Faaaaawk." Minor gets the "Ahh." Plays in-app and as push notifications. • ANIMATED BRICK — When it's brick outside (below freezing), a shivering brick pops up on your Today screen. The colder it gets, the harder it shakes. Ice crystals show up when it's STUPID brick. • BUG FIXES — "Brick" language no longer shows up at 63°F (that was wild). Temperature vernacular is now accurate across all ranges. Borough detection uses Apple's geocoder so Manhattan actually gets detected.

Real Talk just got a whole upgrade. No cap. REAL TALK ENGINE 2.0 Rebuilt from the ground up. 100+ new phrases across every condition — temperature, wind, humidity, nighttime, all of it. The engine rotates between 3–4 alternates so you're not reading the same line twice. And the longer bad weather sticks around, the harder the language hits. What changed: - Duration escalation — "drizzle lowkey" naturally becomes "rain been going all day no cap" after a few hours on the same conditions. - Humidity combos — "humid as hell" and "the humidity OD" finally got their own dedicated lines. - Nighttime context — phrases now carry suffixes like "tonight," "rn," and "out tonight" when it's relevant. - Sentence variety — the engine randomly selects from multiple sentence structures, so no two checks feel the same. - Alert phrase variety — nor'easters, tropical storms, blizzards, coastal flooding, and cold advisories each have 3 alternate phrases now. - Improvements to the Real Talk feature set have been made throughout the app. MTA SUBWAY STATUS — LIVE NOW Real-time alerts for all 25 NYC subway lines, direct from the official MTA GTFS-RT public feed. Color-coded line badges. Plain-talk status calls. A tap-to-expand detail sheet showing per-line alert summaries. Refreshes every 2 minutes. Know before you swipe the MetroCard. AIR QUALITY INDEX — LIVE NOW Real-time AQI for your location from IQAir. Color-coded from Good to Hazardous. NYC-flavored health messages, main pollutant identification, full AQI scale reference, and actual health recommendations — all in the detail view. GLASS UI POLISH All glass cards now share one device-tilt-reactive shimmer from MotionManager — matching the iOS home screen icon shimmer behavior. No more each card doing its own angle. Profile Editor form fields got rebuilt with a clean inset style that doesn't compete with the outer card's shimmer. Maximum glass transparency so weather animations show through like Apple Weather. MY LINES Favorite up to 5 transit lines — subway and bus — in your profile. Subway picker is a grid of all 25 lines as colored circles, tap to toggle. Bus routes support all NYC prefixes (M, Bx, B, Q, QM, S, SBS routes, and more). Your saved lines get a dedicated "YOUR LINES" section at the top of the MTA status card and detail sheet, with a star. Know what's good with your commute before you leave the crib. WEATHER ALERT SOUNDS Three tiers of custom sounds matched to alert severity. Severe weather (tornado, hurricane, blizzard) gets the emergency siren. Moderate alerts (thunderstorms, wind advisories, winter weather) get the "Faaaaawk." Minor alerts (frost advisories, general watches) get the "Ahh." Plays as push notification sounds when you're not in the app, and in-app via audio player when you are — even on silent.
