Frequently asked questions

My alarm didn't ring while my phone was locked.

On iOS 26 and later, WeatherWake uses Apple's alarm system, so it rings even when your phone is locked or on silent. Make sure Alarms is allowed in WeatherWake → Settings → Permissions (or in the iOS Settings app under WeatherWake). On iOS 17–25, WeatherWake uses repeating notifications instead; keep notifications allowed and your volume up. You can check everything in WeatherWake → Settings → Test it → "Test alarm in 10 seconds."

Why does WeatherWake ask for my location?

Only to look up the forecast where you are, so it can pick the right song. Your location is rounded to about 1 km and sent straight from your phone to the free Open-Meteo weather service. It's never sent to us. If you say no, WeatherWake uses the last place it knew, or assumes clear skies. You can change this any time in the iOS Settings app → WeatherWake → Location.

The weather looks wrong.

Open WeatherWake once with location allowed so it can refresh. Settings shows when the weather was last checked. WeatherWake checks again shortly before each alarm when iOS allows it.

How do I change the music?

Open the Music tab. Pick a style (Pop, Country, Classical, Lo-fi, Rock & Jazz, Oldies, Soul, or Folk) to fill every kind of weather at once, or tap a weather to choose its own song, preview it, or add an audio file from your phone. Credits for the included songs are at the bottom of the Music tab.
