Questions
Where does the weather come from?
From Apple Weather. If Apple Weather can't answer, Comic Weather uses MET Norway (the Norwegian Meteorological Institute) instead. The source is credited under the painted panel and again at the foot of every forecast page.
Is there a subscription or an in-app purchase?
No. You pay once on the App Store and get everything: all four skins, all widgets and every notification. There are no ads.
Which iPhones does it run on?
Any iPhone with iOS 18 or later.
Can I use it without sharing my location?
Yes. Tap "Search a city" and add places by name. If you do share your location, Comic Weather uses only an approximate location, rounded to about 100 meters.
How do I change the look?
Settings > Theme. Four-Color is the bright newsstand style, Bubblegum Bloom is pastel pop with blossoms and sparkles, Megacity Manga is manga ink and screentone over a towering city and Midnight City is gothic noir. The skin changes the whole app, its weather icons, your widgets and the app icon on your Home Screen (iOS asks you to confirm the new icon).
How do I change the narrator?
Settings > Personality: Deadpan, Chipper or Dramatic. The voice is used in the captions and the notifications.
Which languages does it speak?
Since version 2.0, 26: English, Español, Français, Deutsch, Italiano, Português (Brasil), Nederlands, Polski, Русский, Українська, Türkçe, العربية, اردو, हिन्दी, मराठी, বাংলা, தமிழ், తెలుగు, ไทย, Tiếng Việt, Bahasa Indonesia, Bahasa Melayu, 日本語, 한국어, 简体中文 and 繁體中文. Comic Weather follows your iPhone's language. To use another one for Comic Weather alone, open Settings > Comic Weather > Language on your iPhone (the Language row in the app's own Settings takes you there).
How do I switch between °C and °F, or change the wind units?
Settings > Units: Metric, Imperial, or Match system. Under them, pick wind (km/h, mph, m/s, knots or Beaufort), rain, pressure and distance units of your own. Automatic follows the choice above.
How do I add, remove or reorder places?
Tap the magnifying glass at the top of the page. Search for a city to add it, swipe left on a place to remove it, tap Edit to reorder, and tap the star to make a place your main one. On the home page, swipe sideways to move between places.
Why am I not getting notifications?
Check Settings > Notifications in the app and Settings > Notifications > Comic Weather on your iPhone. Notifications are planned for your main place from the forecast the app has downloaded, so they only arrive when the weather calls for one. Opening the app now and then keeps the plan current.
How do I add a widget?
Touch and hold the Home Screen, tap Edit > Add Widget and choose Comic Weather: Comic Panel (small), Comic Strip (medium) or Comic Page (large). For the Lock Screen, touch and hold it, tap Customize and add Weather Glyph. Touch and hold a widget and choose Edit Widget to pick its place.
Can I add Comic Weather to Control Center?
Yes. Open Control Center, tap + > Add a Control and choose Comic Weather's Weather Now. It shows the temperature for your main place, or any place you pick, and opens the app on it.
What is the rain countdown on the Lock Screen?
When rain is about to start or stop within the hour, the rain panel on the page shows a Follow on Lock Screen button. Tap it and a countdown appears on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. To have it start by itself for your main place, turn on Settings > Notifications > Rain countdown on the Lock Screen.
Why don't I see the next-hour rain panel?
It appears only when rain is falling or due within the hour, and only where Apple Weather has minute-by-minute data. Not every country or region does.
Can I ask Siri?
Yes. Say "Will it rain, Comic Weather?" or "Comic Weather forecast". The same actions are in the Shortcuts app, under Comic Weather.
How do I share a panel?
Tap the share button at the top of the page. Comic Weather prints today's panel as an image you can send, post or save.
My widget looks out of date.
iOS decides how often widgets refresh. Open Comic Weather to update them, and make sure Background App Refresh is on for Comic Weather in Settings > General > Background App Refresh.
The painted scene doesn't move.
Scenes hold still when Reduce Motion (Settings > Accessibility > Motion) or Low Power Mode is on. That's deliberate.
I don't see severe weather alerts.
Alerts appear only where an official agency publishes them. Not every country or region does.
What happens offline?
Your last forecast stays on the page, marked with how old it is. Pull down to refresh when you're back online.
How do I get it on a new iPhone?
Download it again from the App Store with the same Apple Account. You won't pay again.
How do I get a refund?
Apple handles purchases and refunds. Request one at reportaproblem.apple.com.
