v 2.0.1This update introduces Trip Forecast! This one’s been in the making for a while, and we’re so excited to finally release it!
Trip Forecast lets you enter upcoming trips in Mercury. Once the trip is coming up, the weather at the destination will automatically show as part of your daily forecast timeline.
We’ve also added our first batch of custom app icons, added more forecast details, and improved a bunch of other things.
Also, in case you haven’t seen it yet, we launched Mercury for macOS a couple of weeks ago!

v 1.9.10This time, we fixed a problem that could cause the locations button to become unresponsive when backgrounding Mercury while a sheet was displayed (thank you, Leo!)
April 27, 2023
v 1.9.9This time we optimized the performance of all charts in the app.
After finding a bunch of ways of optimizing the performance of the watch app, I also couldn't help myself from bringing those changes to the iOS and iPadOS apps as well. Ideally, nothing should look any different but things should feel a bit snappier (writing this makes me realize that those were probably not the most wisely spent 30 hours of my life…)

v 1.9.6This time we improved a bunch of things behind the scenes. Most notably, watch complications are a lot more likely to show up-to-date weather right after unlocking the watch after not using it for a while.
– Watch complications are updating much more reliably right after unlocking the watch in the morning
– Minute-by-minute rain is now ticking along consistently in the app, widgets and complications
– We're displaying snow amount rather than it's liquid equivalent when using OpenWeather
– We're now showing 8 hours and 8 days (instead of 7) in the medium widgets (innovation!)

v 1.9.2It was pretty windy in Vancouver last week. On a related note, we've added gusts to the current weather section. To see the gusts, tap the "wind" label in the top card. (You can also tap "humidity" to see the dew point.) You can also activate live mode by long-pressing the wind label to see the wind's direction relative to the direction you're facing.

v 1.8This was supposed to be a quick update to improve the performance of the watchOS app, but one thing led to another, so here we go…
The watch app now dynamically shows more details about the current weather conditions, such as humidity, dew point (visible by tapping the humidity label), wind, and UV index. We've also made some significant changes to improve the responsiveness of the watch app, especially on older devices.
If you don't like the dynamic weather data source selection or if you have very specific weather data requirements, you can lock it to always use either Apple Weather or OpenWeather (no hard feelings!).
When looking at the forecast for future days in the day overview, we now display the date of the selected day in the header.
If you're at an airport, we've made some changes to show the airport name instead of the name of the tiny town the airport is part of (no more confusion about landing in "Hounslow"!)
We also fixed an issue with customizable widgets on older iOS 16 versions (if you haven't already, you should check them out. Malin spent a lot of time on them, and they look super neat!) and fixed a few minor localization issues.
We're still working on the Mac app and trip forecast, which needs a little bit more time. We're aiming to release these in early March.

v 1.7.8This time we improved a few things that we wanted to sneak in before our next major update (it's going to be a good one!).
We're now showing a progress indicator when a web view is loading, fixed a time zone display issue on iPadOS, correctly display feels like in the sidebar, and improved formatting of temperatures around the zero degree mark.

v 1.7.6Happy New Year!
This time, we fixed a rare bug that sometimes caused premium features to be unavailable for users on a Lifetime Family plan and cleaned up a few things.
Also, in case you missed it, we recently added new, colorful themes (as well as a more subtle system-inspired theme) to the Home Screen widgets. And if you're bored of looking at your local weather all day and rather want to see the weather at one of your favorite locations on your Home Screen, you can now do that too!

v 1.6.1This time we added a sleek new split widget style to the medium hourly forecast widget when rain is expected. Speaking of widgets, we also tweaked the widget layout a bit and improved the default theme to make it easier to read. We also improved how we display snow in the charts and how we show sunrise and sunset information for places where the sun does not rise or set.
In other news, we're hard at work on Mercury for Mac, so stay tuned for more updates on that soon.

v 1.5.7This time we improved legibility in a bunch of places. Both charts and widgets have a stronger color contrast, axis labels are quite a lot larger on the watch, and shadows are less muddy all around.

v 1.5.4Mercury is now available on iPad! We might be biased, but we think it looks gorgeous.
We also added a new theme for when it's overcast (well-timed for the gloomy weather we're expecting in Vancouver for the next four months…), tweaked some of the design throughout the app, and fixed a bug that would cause widgets and the watch app to not render correctly in cold places.

v 1.2.1This is a fun one! We've added new widgets and complications, including new sizes and a shiny new daily forecast widget. We've also localized Mercury to German, so make sure to tell all your German friends! We, of course, also tweaked and fixed a few things here and there. Most notably, we added a workaround for when the watch sometimes would tell us that it's located right on the equator when it's not.
1.2.1 also includes a bunch of dynamic type improvements in the widgets and the main app.
Kai & Malin
Sept. 24, 2022
v 1.1.6This time we improved the layout of the minute-by-minute rain Lock Screen widget and added a workaround for those of you who still see intermittent widget "demo" labels (sorry!).

v 1.1.1Happy iOS 16 release week!
This is a quick update to fix a few things that weren't quite right. Haze is no longer rain blue, the charts make better use of the small space on the Apple Watch and the iPhone Lock Screen, and we improved some things that didn't look right with larger accessibility fonts enabled.
Thanks for all the positive feedback so far!
