Headland Weather pulls its data from Open-Meteo, which blends several global weather models. For most locations this is accurate within a few degrees, but local microclimates (a hilltop, a hollow, a coastal pocket) can deviate noticeably.
If your readings consistently miss the actual conditions, try adding a saved location offset slightly toward higher or lower ground.
Tap the location name at the top of the app, then the search icon. Search for any place name or address, or tap "Save current as field" to pin your current GPS location.
Free users can save one location. Pro unlocks unlimited locations — useful for crews running multiple sites or farmers managing scattered fields.
Free: Today's verdicts for any single location, all twelve activity types, basic radar, lightning forecast, frost overnight, severe-weather banner.
Pro ($4.99/month or $39/year): Seven-day outlook with per-activity drill-down, drought monitor with 90-day deficit tracking, severe-weather push notifications, unlimited saved locations.
Subscriptions are handled by Apple, so cancellation happens in your iOS Settings — not in Headland Weather itself.
Open Settings → [Your Name] → Subscriptions → Headland Weather → Cancel Subscription. Your Pro features stay active until the end of the current billing period.
This happens when the app can't reach Open-Meteo's API — usually because of a sandboxed environment (a development build, or a web embed). The app falls back to realistic sample data so the interface stays usable.
On a production install from the App Store, this banner shouldn't appear. If it does, check your internet connection and try force-quitting and reopening the app.
Severe weather alerts come from the National Weather Service and are US-only. International users will not see this feature.
Within the US, the alert banner appears at the top of the app the moment NWS issues a warning or watch for your saved location. If no banner appears, no alerts are currently active for your area — which is good news. You can verify on alerts.weather.gov.
Push notifications (the kind that wake your phone) are a Pro feature and require notification permission. Check Settings → Notifications → Headland Weather in iOS Settings.
Both are Pro features. Tap the locked card to see the upgrade option. The app accepts Apple Pay through the standard App Store subscription flow.
Each activity has its own rule set tuned for the specific work. Spraying checks wind speed (3–10 mph window), relative humidity (≥50%), no rain washoff, no temperature inversion, and temperature (50–85°F). Planting looks at soil temperature at 6cm depth, soil moisture, and frost forecast over the next 7 days. Concrete needs 40–90°F with no rain in the cure window. And so on for each trade.
These rules are derived from established agricultural extension guidance and trade safety standards, then adapted for general use. They're decision support, not professional certification — your own experience and local conditions always take precedence.
Email hello@headlandweather.app with as much detail as possible — what activity, what location, what verdict the app gave, and what you saw outside. Bug reports with screenshots are especially helpful.
Feature requests are welcome too. The app is built with active feedback in mind during the beta period.
Replies usually within a few days. This is a small operation.
