๐Ÿ‘‹ Hey Product Hunters! Iโ€™m Axel, and Iโ€™m thrilled to introduce Wayther โ€” 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. Thatโ€™s when it hit me: there should be an app that provides weather forecasts specifically for road trips. Wayther gives you: ๐ŸŒฆ๏ธ Accurate real-time weather forecast along your route ๐Ÿ“† Up to 10 days in advance (choose departure or arrival date and time) ๐ŸŒ 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. Itโ€™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 โ€” 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, Iโ€™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 Iโ€™d love to hear your thoughts or answer any questionsโ€”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 ๐Ÿ™‚. Thank you so much for your support! ๐Ÿ™ ๐Ÿš€

Ricki Q
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.
Axel Le Pennec
@riikkii_ oh thatโ€™s a nice idea for a future version of the app! Technically speaking, it should be possible but it requires a little bit of thinking to make it right because there are a lot of weather inputs for each waypoint, and they depends on the departure and arrival time. Thanks for sharing!
