Dark Sky Weather Pros
✓ Best weather app gets even better!I love this app! It is easy to read a gets better all the time. I garden & need details to make decisions about my day. Like other reviewers, I too left weather underground when it was ruined. I tried many weather apps and found them lacking. But Dark Sky is pleasant, easy to read and easy to access SO MUCH information: temperatures, wind chill temps, precipitation probability, precipitation amounts including totals & by the hour, wind direction, wind speed, humidity, dew point, UV, barometric pressure, sunrise and sunset times, and of course radar maps. The graphics illustrate the weather very clearly especially the precipitation types and amounts. I love the ability to go back and see what the weather was like in the past. I often look at the previous days weather to understand things about my garden. Dark Sky is easily the best weather app today!.Version: 6.8.5
✓ Really useful AppOnly had this app for a week, but it's already proved invaluable. When deciding when to have a BBQ, it predicted rain on the Sunday, which happened, and warm and sunny on the Monday, which also was correct. Our decision, in advance, to have our BBQ on the Monday rather than the Sunday, was therefore perfect. So far the warnings of rain or even drizzle have been spot on. I have had a couple of Met Office weather apps for years, but this is by far the best I have seen so far. Time will tell whether such accuracy will continue over a full year, but so far, so good. Well, I’ve now used this app for the best part of a year and it has not disappointed at all. Really useful prediction tool, and I can definitely recommend it..Version: 5.2.9
✓ Dark Sky Weather Positive ReviewsDark Sky Weather Cons
✗ Lacking core featureThe deal breaking omission for me is that the widget part of the app doesn't display your location - just temperature and weather stats. It's a pretty odd thing to leave out and it hits the app hard in terms of usability. When traveling by train, for example, you can't easily view the name of the town/region you are passing through. More importantly, you can't check that the widget is updating the temperature. I'm guessing that the app doesn't lookup location according to conventional weather station sites but rather uses Apple Maps GPS address location. In terms of other functionality, the notifications are nice. Accuracy is certainly no better than many of the free apps and the satellite predictions project ahead less hours than some other free apps. Had I tried before I bought it, I probably would have passed..Version: 5.3.8
✗ Not as good as I hoped it would beMy favorite app for weather was suddenly not supported any longer. Opening it showed no data. So, I searched for a new one. Dark Sky is not intuitive and the opening page shows me the temperature and if it’s rising or falling. I sort of knew that before I opened the app. It then shows what the conditions will be for the next 16 hours. It also indicates what the sky will look like and in percentages. That’s good. At the bottom of the page there are switches giving you the choice of humidity, UV index, temperature, and wind speed, but it took a few times before I realized that you must scroll down to get the switches. Then, although it doesn’t tell me, you can sweep to the left or right to get more information. To the right, it give you the high and low for the next seven days. Again, okay, but just the temperature. I want see frontal systems, lows and highs. Having been an aviator, weather is important to me. I can’t do anything about it, but I like to be prepared. That left swipe gives me a monochromatic map of the western US. With only light blue blotches. Zooming in on my home, I get somewhat vague images of what appear to be rain - no clouds that I can determine. It’s an okay app, but I find when I pay for a app that is not as good as a free one, I’m irritated. $4.00 isn’t much since there are no ads, but here in the West I want to see where my mountains and deserts are if I am planning a trip to cross the Cascade in the winter..Version: 5.3.8
