What exactly do you miss about Dark Sky? I've used Dark Sky and I initially loved its accurate hyperlocal precipitation notification. But its accuracy has waned after the first few years and the UI became convoluted.
Their algorithm use to be different from the NWS, at least a few years ago. It was significantly accurate on my area for rain, not that much for snow. Also it was simple and graphs the changes in temperature and rain/snow per hour in a way that is easy to understand. I'll miss that simple chart.
and now, that is part of Apple's Weatherkit and other apps can implement those features. And do so without compromising your location (looking at you weather.com).
Wait, what?
You mean the weather app that Apple ships for free with iOS 16 that uses all of the Dark Sky data? Is that the one you think you'll pay $10/month for?
Agree.
I think you might be correct - upon the news of DS's demise, I got Weather (3 out of 5 stars in the app store, interestingly enough) and when I tapped the map, it took me a screen prompting me to subscribe. Not seeing that now and I followed the same link in the store for the app. Fascinating...
Do you know how long Dark Sky will stay on the app store for people who bought it originally ?
Why don’t you open it and find out
1) You can't go back in time to look at previous weather.
