What is CARROT Weather?
CARROT Weather is a forecast app for iOS and Android with an Apple Watch app and widgets for the home and lock screens. The press kit for Version 6.0 names Brian Mueller as developer, designer and writer of the CARROT suite and calls the business a one-man independent studio in the suburbs of Philadelphia. It does not name a country or a company legal name.
The app is free to install, with an optional subscription in three levels, and its voice is a snarky AI character with thousands of spoken lines that change with the weather. The press kit also lists iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Apple Vision Pro and Apple Silicon Macs as platforms. Forecast detail comes from multiple data sources and customisable layouts.
CARROT Weather key features
- Talking CARROT character. A snarky AI character delivers thousands of spoken lines that change with the weather. It is the app's identity, though the pages read do not say whether the tone can be switched off.
- Redesigned forecast views. Version 6.0 adds an hourly data point picker, a minutely forecast that switches between a precipitation chart and a mini radar map, and line charts for hourly and daily forecasts.
- Multiple data sources. The press kit says the app is built for forecast detail with several data sources and customisable layouts. Premium adds weather data sources, so the choice available depends on the subscription level.
- Apple Watch and widgets. An Apple Watch app, home and lock screen widgets and, with Premium, watch complications are listed. Ultra adds a weather maps widget and a Locations list of forecasts.
- Alerts in the Ultra tier. Premium Ultra adds rain, lightning and storm cell notifications and super-resolution radar in the U.S. Outside the United States the radar benefit is therefore not described in the press kit.
- Family sharing. Premium Family can be shared with up to five family members through Apple's Family Sharing service. The press kit does not describe an equivalent route on Android.
- Weather News. News stories inside the app are sourced from AccuWeather, according to the press kit. That is an editorial feed, separate from the forecast data sources chosen in the settings.
Who CARROT Weather suits
- An iPhone user who wants a forecast with personality. The free app and the talking character suit someone who checks weather daily and enjoys the humour. Premium adds notifications, maps and widgets if the free level feels limited.
- A family sharing one subscription. Premium Family is USD 14.99 per month or USD 59.99 per year and can be shared with up to five members through Family Sharing. That suits households already on Apple devices.
- A storm watcher in the United States. Premium Ultra adds rain, lightning and storm cell alerts and super-resolution U.S. radar. The press kit describes that radar only for the U.S., so buyers elsewhere should check coverage first.
Getting started with CARROT Weather
The pages we read describe the app and its subscription levels rather than a setup procedure. Install the free app from the store for your platform. The support page for the Premium Club says a 7-day trial of the subscription exists, but it does not state the price, billing period or how to subscribe, and the pricing page at meetcarrot.com/pricing returned a 404 error when we read it.
Prices therefore come from the press kit. Support is by email to support@meetcarrot.com, and the weather support pages sit on support.meetcarrot.com. A CARROT subreddit is linked from the weather page.
The case for and against CARROT Weather
- The press kit names Brian Mueller as developer, designer and writer and calls the business a one-man independent studio, the smallest vendor here.
- Catalogue tag: One-person studio.
- CARROT Weather is tagged Tiered subscription in our records.
- Apple Watch is among the traits we single out for it.
- Best for: Phone and watch users who want choice of data sources and personality.
- Super-resolution radar is described for the U.S. only, so buyers elsewhere get less from the top tier.
- Less suited to: Anyone who needs an official warning service for one country.
- The pricing page returned a 404, so the amounts we cite come from the press kit.
Our verdict on CARROT Weather
The press kit names Brian Mueller as developer, designer and writer and calls the business a one-man independent studio, the smallest vendor here.
The app is free to install; Premium, Premium Ultra and Premium Family add data sources, notifications and widgets. Rain, lightning and storm cell alerts sit in the Ultra tier, and its super-resolution radar is described for the U.S. only.
In our weather apps ranking CARROT Weather stands at #1 of 12: the next place goes to Weawow. Top-three spots are set aside for challengers, and CARROT Weather holds one of them; read it as a position, not a grade.
The vendor states no country of establishment, so CARROT Weather is left out of the regional count for this list.

What CARROT Weather costs
Pricing as recorded: Free app with three optional subscription tiers, amounts listed in the press kit; 7-day trial.

Premium Ultra costs USD 9.99 per month or USD 39.99 per year. Premium Family costs USD 14.99 per month or USD 59.99 per year and can be shared with up to five family members. Premium adds data sources, notifications, maps, customisation, widgets and Apple Watch complications, while Ultra adds the storm alerts and U.S. radar. A 7-day trial is mentioned on the support page. The vendor's own pricing page returned a 404 error, so the figures come from the press kit and may differ from what the store shows.

CARROT Weather: data and security
The pages we read do not describe data handling, hosting location, encryption or certifications for the weather apps. No privacy policy text was part of the pages read for this entry. The studio is described as a one-man business near Philadelphia, and no company legal name or country is stated.
What the pages do show is the contact route, which is email for support and press enquiries, and the named data source for news stories, AccuWeather. Buyers who need a data processing statement should ask the developer directly before relying on the app for business use.
