The steps follow the device you choose. Your choice is remembered on every page.

The Android app also carries Android Auto; there is nothing extra to install for the car.
Go to windshieldweather.com/app
There is nothing to install. The planner opens in the browser tab.
Sign in
The page sends you to sign in first and brings you back to the planner afterwards.
Keep the beta up to date
Beta builds change often, and an older build can stop doing things a newer one does. Builds from 26 September 2026 and earlier, for instance, show the radar as unavailable until they are updated.
- TestFlight updates the app for you if automatic updates are on, and shows each new build in its own app.
- Google Play updates test builds the same way as any other app.
