I dont know what the fuzz about this is. I use dark sky and myRADAR, and trust me, here in central Texas, the weather changes every 5 minutes… dark sky could not keep up. It is better than the stock yahoo weather that apple uses, but not better than myRADAR… The weather app would be better, as long as they use their pretty map and the hour by hour precipitation… I think that’s the only parts that dark sky has, everything else is normal. Will stick with myRADAR for now.

It was the best weather app there was. Apple obviously agreed, because they chose to buy that one and not some other one.

Dark Sky had a cult following. If you read what meteorologists say it was really nothing special. It was good at telling you what the current weather was but had no magical way of predicting future weather any better that the others. There are multiple weather apps that are just as good.

Which apps? I’ve installed a bunch but I’m still looking for a worthy Dark Sky replacement. I can’t stomach Carrot’s fees.

It probably depends on where you live, what type of weather you receive, etc. I personally use Today weather. But there are lots to chose from. Try them out and see which works best for you.
