This one is mostly repair. An audit found several things Skylight was getting wrong — a few of them quietly — and this release fixes them. THINGS THAT WERE WRONG • Pollen. Our provider covers Europe only, and outside it the app was turning "no data" into a reassuring low reading. It now shows nothing where there is nothing to show. The same was true of fine particulates. • Snow. The snow card introduced last month never appeared on most devices at all. It does now. • Daily wind read zero on iOS 17, which made the ten-day wind view a flat line. • If you use °C, km/h, m/s or knots, the graded scales behind each figure were being compared against Fahrenheit and miles per hour — so a mild dew point could be labelled dry and a stiff breeze called a gale. Grades, chart shading and the scale legend are now all read in your own units. • Saved cities in other time zones showed some times on your clock instead of theirs — sunrise, tide times, the radar timestamp, "overnight" in the Brief, and which days counted as the weekend. • Trips could spin for ever, and Time Travel could open onto a blank sheet if your location had not arrived yet. A trip that started inside the forecast window but ran past it is no longer labelled a forecast for days it cannot see. • If you own Skylight Ultra, you could not pin a widget to a saved city. You can now, and it fixes itself the first time you open this version — there is nothing to restore. • Share cards failed silently when a device was low on storage. They say so. EASIER TO READ • At the largest text sizes, the tide, storm risk, snow and hurricane cards were missing from the simplified layout. Turning your text size up no longer hides a hurricane. • VoiceOver now reads those cards as sentences rather than loose fragments — "High water at 4:32 PM, 7.2 feet" instead of an arrow, a time and a number. • Cards that lay out side by side now stack instead of clipping when text is large. NEW • Tides, storm risk, snow and tropics can be switched off in Home screen settings, like the other cards. When a card is off, Skylight stops fetching its data entirely. • Your settings now sync between devices in both directions. Previously they could arrive from iCloud but were never sent. UNDER THE HOOD • Rain and snow alerts hold their timing more steadily, and the Lock Screen activity keeps up in places our primary provider does not cover. • Radar, air quality and historical data sources are now credited in full, under Contact Us. Skylight Ultra is a one-time purchase and its price has gone up. If you already own it, you keep everything, for ever, with nothing to do.

Tides, tappable details, and a fix for the crash some of you hit. TAP ANY NUMBER Humidity, wind, UV, pressure, dew point, visibility, gusts and feels-like now open a full detail view. Each one charts the next 24 hours and colours it against the real scale, so you can see not just what it is but where it is heading and whether it is high. TIDES High and low water for the nearest station, with times and heights for the day ahead. Sits on the Home screen with everything else, and you can reorder or hide it like any other card. Available wherever NOAA publishes tide stations, which is the US and its territories. MORE ON THE RADAR Humidity, pressure and wind gusts join temperature, wind and cloud as map layers, drawn under the precipitation so rain stays the thing you see first. FIXED Opening a notification from the Lock Screen could crash the app while it was launching. That is fixed. Rain and severe weather alerts have also had a lot of work behind the scenes this month, and should be arriving reliably again. Keep the reports coming.

Skylight 4.0. The big one. SKYLIGHT ON iPAD Not a stretched-up phone app. A real iPad layout, with a sidebar for your saved places and a two-column view in landscape that puts the hour ahead and the day ahead side by side. Radar takes the whole canvas, with the scrubber and layers beside it instead of buried underneath. THE WATCH APP ACTUALLY WORKS NOW If you opened Skylight on your Apple Watch and got "--" and nothing else, that is fixed. Your phone now sends conditions, your brief, and your best window straight to your wrist, and complications keep themselves current. RAIN ALERTS THAT SHOW UP ON TIME Lock Screen activities now start on their own when rain is genuinely close, instead of waiting for you to open the app. And they only appear when rain is within the hour, so no more countdown warning you about a shower 32 hours away.

Leave by now reads your next calendar event instead of a fixed time. Plus a stack of reported bug fixes. Keep them coming. Settings > Help > Contact goes straight to me, and I read every single one.

Skylight 3.0 Air quality you can trust Readings now come from EPA AirNow ground monitors instead of a weather model, so what you see matches the alerts your local agency issues. Tap the air quality card to see which monitoring area the reading came from, when it was measured, and what it means. A real outlook The Outlook tab now charts rain, wind and UV alongside temperature, lists the hazards ahead with times, and adds context you can act on: the best day of the week, how much rain to expect and when, the longest dry stretch, how daylight is shifting, and whether the week is running warmer or cooler than normal. Live Activities that show up on their own Rain and severe weather alerts now appear on your Lock Screen as they happen, without opening the app. Reported by you, fixed in this release • Widgets keep themselves up to date, and show your location — not the last city you looked at • Rain start and stop alerts arrive on time again • Air quality showed "Good" while an air quality alert was active • Weather alerts no longer take over the Dynamic Island • Air quality alerts were being filtered out before reaching you • Forecast hours stay correct across daylight saving changes • Cards settle as you scroll, and the app has a fuller sense of touch Keep them coming — Settings › Contact › Report a Bug. Your app version and device are attached automatically, so a one-line report is usually enough to act on.
