Wayther: Road Trip Weather - Stay safe, avoid delays, and save money on your road trips

👋 Hey Product Hunters! I’m Axel, and I’m thrilled to introduce Wayther — my new iPhone app designed to keep you safe, help you minimize delays and save you money on your road trips by making you avoid bad and dangerous weather. My little app was recently featured in TechCrunch, AppAdvice and Gear Patrol. Wayther was born out of my experience working on another app, a digital boating log book. Weather plays a crucial role in boating, so I began integrating weather forecasts into trip planning. Coincidentally, while developing this feature, I had to drive a few hundred miles and wanted to dodge bad weather. I found myself constantly switching between Apple Maps and Apple Weather, manually checking conditions along my route. That’s when it hit me: there should be an app that provides weather forecasts specifically for road trips. Wayther gives you: 🌦️ Accurate real-time weather forecast along your route 📆 Up to 10 days in advance (choose departure or arrival date and time) 🌍 Anywhere in the world You can compare different routes and adjust your departure or arrival times to find the safest, most enjoyable window for your trip. It’s a powerful tool to avoid dangerous weather and unexpected delays by planning ahead with precise forecasts. The app is perfect not just for car drivers, but also for motorcyclists, RVers, truckers, bus drivers, and even bikers. Whether you need to dodge high winds, bad weather, or simply plan the best time to hit the road, Wayther has you covered. The app is free to download, and your first three trips are on completely free — no trial required. If you love the app and want unlimited trips, you can choose between a weekly, monthly or yearly subscription, depending on how often you are on the road. To celebrate this launch, I’m offering 40% off your first year with the code PH40, available until September 5th, 2024. Click here to redeem this offer. Download Wayther today, and I’d love to hear your thoughts or answer any questions—drop a comment below! This is the first version of the app, and I have many features planned. But I wanted to get it out there to see what people like, what they want, and how they use it 🙂. Thank you so much for your support! 🙏 🚀

Congrats on the launch, @alpennec ! Wayther looks like a must-have for road trips! Are there any AI features that help suggest the best times to start a journey based on weather forecasts? It would be great to know how the app leverages AI to enhance trip planning.

I always bookmark 3-4 cities in the weather app on my way from Munich to Zagreb. I always needed an app like this one. Great job Axel, I'm looking forward to trying it!

Congrats to the app. Nice idea, I like it 👍

There can't be many weather apps. And this one has a unique approach. Great app. Congrats with launch Axel!

Looks great! Congrats and good luck with your launch today

Axel your app seems pretty redundant, can't people just use Google Maps and check the weather themselves, what's the real value here, and since you talk about future features, anything in there that's worth waiting for

Why create yet another weather app, don't we have enough already, maybe focus on adding more unique features like traffic conditions or integrating it with more map services, just a thought

Stumbled upon this app while browsing TechCrunch, the concept is cool but honestly are there not already similar apps like Storm Radar or MyRadar doing the same thing? I mean, is there really a need for another weather app, it feels too niche, also some bugs on route comparisons, hope those get patched soon

This is kinda neat but isn't it just another weather app? I'm curious, will you add features to integrate with other navigation apps directly so we don't have to switch back and forth all the time? Also, the subscription model, what guarantees do we have that the forecasts will stay accurate enough long-term for it to be worth it?
