Today I’m super excited to introduce the new Sunbeam – redesigned from the ground up just in time for the spring:
New Design
Sunbeam has been given a complete design overhaul across both iPhone and Apple Watch, aligning with Apple’s latest design trends – including an update for watchOS 10.
New Icon
I had the pleasure of working with the legendary Matthew Skiles to design a fresh new icon for Sunbeam. The whole process was super smooth and I couldn’t be happier with how it looks on my Home Screen.
Interactive Widgets
Widgets are a super important part of the experience for any weather app and Sunbeam is no exception. With the latest update Sunbeam’s widgets are more useful than ever, taking advantage of the interactive widgets feature introduced in iOS 17 – just tap the “i” icon in the top right corner.
Customizable Vitamin D Targets
One feature request I’ve gotten a bunch of times is the ability to set a custom Vitamin D target for the day. And now with the new Sunbeam you can – just head over to the Settings screen.
Longer Range Forecasts
Sunbeam will now show you the forecast for any location for the next 10 days – up from 7 before. And if you want to see detailed hourly forecasts for any of those days just long press for the full detail.
I hope you enjoy the changes and, as always, feel free to drop me a line with any feedback or suggestions 🙏🏻
