Autumn is in full force with a foggy morning. Brought the camera with me and did a smol shooting for my weather app @oscars.love. I’m so proud of it knowing all the work that went into it the last 5(?) years. I really need to finally get this on the App Store haha 😅 #BuiltInPublic #IndieDev

In this update, I focused on polish and squashing a bunch of small bugs. Tapping a day now takes you to its hourly forecast, and ensembles have their own button there with a refreshed design. Now on TestFlight 👉️ testflight.apple.com/join/xf5iJcHh #BuiltInPublic #IndieDev #Swift 🧵1/2

Oscar's newest update brings early weather station support in Europe. Pin your favorite or nearest station's temperature to the top, glance at the three closest, or dig into the last 24 hours of data. Now on TestFlight 👉️ testflight.apple.com/join/xf5iJcHh #BuiltInPublic #IndieDev #Swift

Over the past few weeks, I was experimenting with tab bar designs and got so much great feedback from friends. Turns out, the standard iOS tab bar is great! With a single tap, users can now switch between the current weather, their saved locations, and maps. #BuiltInPublic #IndieDev #Swift 🧵1/4

Oscar app screenshot showing a location saved as "Grandma" in Osterwieck at night: 26 degrees, 27% cloud cover, wind 8.3 km/h from the east. A red "Extreme Heat" warning badge sits in the middle of the screen. The hourly forecast below shows clear to partly cloudy skies cooling from 26 to 24 degrees toward midnight.

Can we talk about how cool it is that projects like www.eumetnet.eu exist?! 🇪🇺

Oscar finally has a proper onboarding flow! I've already teased the personal hand-written note, but now you're also walked through the features and all necessary permission requests. I think it's really neat and offers users a first taste of what they can expect! #BuiltInPublic #IndieDev #Swift 🧵1/5

Thought adding a personal, handwritten note to the upcoming onboarding flow is a nice little touch. 👀☀️

Welcome screen of the iOS weather app Oscar°, showing the app’s icon — a glowing orange sun on a blue gradient — above the words ‘Welcome to Oscar°.’ Below is a photo of a yellow legal pad with a handwritten note in black ink: ‘Thank you for trying out Oscar. So many years and so much heart went into this. I hope you like it as much as I do! — Philipp,’ accompanied by small doodles of a sun, a smiley, and a cat-like creature labeled ‘Gadse.’ A second line at the bottom reads ‘Für Oscar, Daniela, Uisel, Werner, Reinhard & Sammy.’ A blue ‘Let’s go’ button sits at the bottom of the screen.

Oscar now ships with a reworked map! 🗺️ 🥳 Weather layers are now crisp, performant, and morph smoothly (Metal🤘 shaders FTW). For users in North America, Oscar's infrastructure now consumes @nws.noaa.gov's MRMS product to provide a high-resolution radar layer and rain notifications. 🧵 1/6

Many cities across Europe set new heat records this weekend. I used the time to add a new climate section to Oscar that puts the current day into historical context by comparing it to the same date going back to 1940! The visualization is heavily inspired by Ed Hawkins’ Warming Stripes.

Climate detail view in the Oscar Weather app showing that 28 June is the warmest since 1940. A warming stripes chart visualizes historical temperatures for this calendar day from 1940 to today. Below, statistics include today’s high of 38°C, the 1961–1990 normal of 21°C, a warming trend of +0.7°C per decade, historical warmest and coldest values, the previous heat record, and the number of years reaching at least 30°C.

Oscar Weather app showing the Environment section with pollen and air quality gauges, followed by a Climate card. The Climate card states “The warmest 28 June since 1940,” displays warming stripes from 1940 to today, and summarizes today’s temperature anomaly, the long-term normal, and the previous record.

Finally got around to add moon phases 🌚 and a few more cool things like ensemble forecasts, weather model selection, EU-wide rain radar, and custom app icons. 🧵 (1/X)

Hey 👋 I've been working for quite some time on a new weather app called Oscar! It's still in active development but I'd love to get some more eyes and feedback on it. So if you're into weather, feel free to join my TestFlight: testflight.apple.com/join/xf5iJcHh

A promotional thumbnail for Oscar Weather, an iOS weather app. Eight iPhone screenshots surround a central app icon — a glowing sun on a light blue background. Screenshots showcase the app's main features: current conditions with hourly forecast, a TV-style theme selector (Original, Climate Crisis, Rainy, Sunny), an animated global weather radar map, detailed wind speed graphs at multiple heights, a 12-day forecast with precipitation and temperature ranges, a weather radar map centered on Central Europe, a membership and stickers screen showing Oscar Club perks, and an environment details panel with air quality, UV index, and pollen charts.
