Dark Sky Weather App Reviews

This app replaced Weather Underground for me, which was far more accurate but losing support. The images for Dark Sky are excellent. But often it tells me it’s going to rain as it’s starting to rain. As a cyclist I need better info than that. Also the radar map doesn’t update very well. With Weather Underground I could tell within 15min when the rain was going to start or end. Not so with Dark Sky. Sorry I paid for it.

Such a great format. Easy to navigate. Separates temp precip etc. worth the $

The layout is perfect, the data is incredibly accurate. It’s everything a weather app should be. Get rid of Apple Weather and get Dark Sky immediately.

This app not only works well, but is easy on the eyes, unlike all the other busy-looking weather apps out there. I’m very upset it’s going away!

This app is excellent and provides data is a great format. Please do not loose this functionality in a change to the native apple app.

Looking for a replacement by EOY that will not be Apple. Reviews of Apple Weather report it subpar compared to Dark Sky. Dark Sky is a favorite app on my phone.

I have been using Dark Sky for sometime, and were recently Apple acquired the app. Now they’re going to stop supporting Dark Sky and just integrated into their own app, but their own app can’t hold a candle to dark sky. Not happy.

Dark sky is 1,000 time better then there default app. Not when shocked the bought it. Been using dark sky since day 1

During record a setting heatwave in California, Dark Skies predicted temperatures would fall significantly in the next two hours for the entire afternoon and evening. By comparison, weather.com was much closer to the actual temperatures. This happened on multiple days, and has happened on prior occasions, though not as significantly different. I do like the interface, different measurements available, and the map with animations. The accuracy is an opportunity for improvement.

We’ll Darksky has been everything I was looking for since Aug 2017 ahead of the total eclipse that month when I wanted a weather app with cloud %. A very good app.

I have been using Dark Sky for about 12 to 15 years after having read about it in MIT Tecnology Review. I was very excited when i located it on my phone & installed it. Now it’s one of the constants in my lifel It’s now quite a few years later & i still depend on & use it daily & many times daily when the weather is not so great. Keep up the great work Dark Sky!

So cool to watch weather band from state to state

I first downloaded this app in 2014 after hearing by word of mouth how uncannily accurate it was. It worked amazingly well as advertised for a few months, until a major version update. It hasn’t been quite right since. Supposedly, it has been raining for an hour where I am now, except not a drop has fallen. This is not an unusual occurrence.

Rain chance of 40% leaves you hanging and uncertain but Dark Sky forecast the inches. .01 inch leaves you free to go outside. Easy and great

Have used for 2 years now and find it to be excellent in forecasting rain% timing. Very reliable! Helps prepare for daily weather issues and preparation for events etc.

Good clear weather report!

The new android version of this app allows much more useful customization, like the ability to use satellite imagery of the base map, and use more conventional “legend” colors for radar etc… plus the bar and line graphs are easier to read than the only “slider” type graphs of the Dark Sky app. I wish this app was as good on my iPad as it is on my android phone.

Dark Sky is the best free weather apps and it does not sell the users location data to data brokers. Please let us keep using it.

To bad apple is killing it 😞

Having a Dark Sky widget with the current temperature and basic precipitation/wind information would be so wonderful!

This is my go to app for weather. The layout is super slick, and the information is usually pretty accurate. I’ve had it for over ten years, so it’s impressive to see how much development has gone into it.

Daily forecast reminder but as of late no rain for months . Today rain and accurate location of rain.

It covers everything you would want to know, by the minute, the hour, the day and the week. Temp, feels like, humidity, chance of rain, amount of rain, real time radar maps, notifications, etc. it’s great.

This is the most accurate hour to hour weather app.I have used.

I like the app with the real time notifications. However, the video map shows 3 hours In the past and only 1 hr in the future. Not sure why they can’t have a better prediction of the future.

Been my go to app for years. Amazingly accurate. Thanks to the team who built and support this app. 👍

Uses your permission on location and gives VERY close weather results and prediction notifications. I don't tell people about apps very often, if ever, but I do recommend this one.

Just works like it should. All the other weather apps I’ve tried the ads are crazy. Had this for years and is def worth it.

Dark Sky is almost always 100% correct. As a boater, I rely heavily on their information because i do not want to be out on the water during a storm. I give Dark Sky a 10/10 rating!

I use it all the time I can follow my kids weather as they travel on their daily travels. They are located all over the country. Good for planning activities..you can tell I like it

This app is 10X better than Apple Weather. Please reconsider by keeping this App alive and cancelling the other.

Great for deciding what to do & when.

I used to coach baseball and I would use Dark Sky to determine the length of rain delays! That’s how accurate it is!

Dark Sky does everything a great weather app needs to do and more. Love it!

I’ve had this app for quite a few years now. Most accurate internet phone app I've seen so far.. Reports are very reliable up to the minute. Well worth the couple bucks to have the pro version..

I take a lot of walks with my dog. I’m always checking the weather with this app. I find it very accurate. Better than most!

Thanks for your alerts on the severity of storms approaching now and all year long. Your service is second to None!!!, I really mean that…. Also keeps me and my family safe and on our toes if need be!!! Keep up with your caring and outstanding Work!! God Bless you.

And I love this app. It not only gives me the temperature range for the day but the likelihood of precipitation and how much.

When I 1st downloaded the app quite a few years ago it was really good. Dam near hit the mark every dang time. I was really impressed I quit using other apps.! It was that good but they started slipping then I asked around and the conclusion is they might have been bought out but I still use them

The last few months the the forecasts seem to be less accurate compared to the local news and weather.com.

Most accurate forecast

I started using Dark Sky as an Android user. I was thinking of switching to an iPhone and when Spple bought Dark Sky I knew I would miss it. After the switch last year I was happy to have Dark Sky back.

This is a great app which predicts the hourly forecast very accurately, including winds, wind gust, heat index, etc. I depend on it for sailing! Please don’t delete it!

This is the most accurate weather app I have found and I have used this consistently for 6 or 7 years now. I got it when it was free in Starbucks stores and loved it! Now it is actually a paid app and worth it!
