The dark sky complication seems to be broken for me right now... it shows up, but it doesn’t show any current data. I tried deleting the app from the watch and the phone, rebooting both devices and reinstalling the app.

I went through the iOS 11 and watchOS 4 betas, so I’m not sure if there’s something funky left over from that or if the app might just have an issue with watchOS 4. The watch app itself works... it’s just the complication that doesn’t.

Is anyone else having problems with the dark sky complication or is it just me?

I’ve noticed the same thing on my Series 3 GPS model. The complication doesn’t update properly, but if you go into the app it will update then show the correct data on the complication. However, I don’t think it auto updates the complication for some reason.
 
I have the same problem. After I upgraded, I only had dashes. I uninstalled and reinstalled and got it working but now it has failed again. If I select the complication it shows data. I have submitted a question to Dark Sky about the issue.

I had the same problem and i just had to delete Dark Sky. Then install it again to fix it.
 
Last update to Dark Sky was 5 months ago. Wonder if they are still supporting/updating the app, as there is no IOS 11 update yet. Weird for an app that costs $3.99

I recently bought the Dark Sky app to use on my Series 3 GPS watch. I'm surprised that my screen doesn't look like the watch screenshots shown in the app store. I don't have the rain chart shown in the first screenshot, and there are only 3 small circles at the bottom of the screen meaning I can only swipe left/right between 3 different views (there are 7 on the screenshot shown in the app store). Is something wrong with mine?

Have you scrolled vertically on each screen?

I have, but I still only have 3 screens to choose from and not 7. The precipitation chart does show up sometimes but not always. I wish the rain chart was available as a complication...

I think he means that the screenshots of the watch app show 7 dots at the bottom of the screen that you can horizontally swipe between. The actual app has only 3 dots. It's got nothing to do with vertical scrolling using the digital crown.

I've been in contact with the developers and they have confirmed that 3 screens is correct since the 7 have been consolidated into 3. My hunch about the precipitation graph is that is
It only shows if there is more than zero precipitation forecast in the next hour, does that sound right to you guys?
 
I have deleted an reinstalled the app twice recently and still have trouble with the info updating properly. Sometimes it helps to scroll between several watch faces but sometimes not.
 
No weather app updates as fast for me on the watch as the iPhone stock weather app. In complication none update enough for real time. When I look down it says one thing, push it and the. 3-5 sec later it updates. The stock one is almost always accurate
 
My problem is that I can’t get it to show me the temp on the watch face. I’ve tried everything I can think of.

I have that problem too. It just shows the big rain drop on mine. Is that the case with yours too?

Yes Sir! But I managed to get mine working. In addition to having Dark Sky in the bottom right corner, I added it to the center, and the small one started working. So I put the middle back to my calendar. And so far it’s still working!
