My favorite weather app by far

More accurately its the only weather app I use any more. It has everything I need and well laid out and ready to use.

Dont Think, Download It!

Hands-down the best one Ive used. I downloaded so many of these and with every single one I would always question if there was one better. After using Dark Skys for months the thought hasnt even crossed my mind. If you are looking for good weather I dont even think about it. Just to download.

Great app

I love this app because it doesnt rain often in California. When I get a notification from this app it is always accurate. Dings my watch with a rain warning and I know its coming.

Best, most accurate weather app

Simply the best

Best weather app around

Great for when Im on my bike and stuck in the rain, gives up to the minute details about weather info and alerts if there is going to be harsh weather!

Excellecnce

The best

Best weather app

Beautiful visuals & colors and spot-on accuracy

Great app

Detailed and accurate! Love it!!

Eh...

NIcely designed, but it feels like hi-style went a bit too far: radar initial updates are VERY slow; cant see temp and wind speed/dir at the same time: my most frequently needed combo... Radar colors are very non-traditional, a bit too vague for my taste. Underlying maps are a rather faint and fairly un-detailed; two style/taste demerits, from my p.o.v. ...

Elegant App

This is an elegant app. Beautifully designed, simple, wonderful use of graphics to convey clear and concise information. Beautifully done. Beautifully implemented. Useful. Not kidding. A pleasure to use.

Nothing else comes close

Simply the best app for telling you whats going to happen in the next five minutes or the next five days. It can accurately tell me within just a couple of minutes when its going to start raining at my house. During the recent storms in California, I knew when to prepare for the winds and the heavy rains. No other weather app could do that. I use it several times every day and love it.

Works pretty much as intended

What I said above.

Best Weather App Ever

I need to make sure I know the local weather wherever I am, and all the other apps are so annoying to use. Dark Sky is intuitive, informative and not cluttered with ads and promotions which I highly appreciate. It syncs quickly no matter where I am. The only missing feature is storing my favorite locations. I hope that comes along soon.

These couple weeks terrible

Now outside is rain but it says Heavy snow.... and just totally wrong forecasts. It is ice storm but acting like a An app says snow is coming.

Quit the app business

Useless in the winter. App doesnt know the difference between sleet and snow.

Rarely accurate

I tried to like it, but it was consistently inaccurate. It often called for snow when none was forecast by other apps, weather sites, or the local news. It called for 2-5" today and its supposed to rain and stay above freezing. I wanted to love it as much as everyone else, but it has been a total letdown for me.

Dark Sky

Super accurate! Love both the iPhone and Apple Watch apps. I dont use any other weather resource.

Disappointed after buying app

I have used the forecast.io application for years. Loved it, love the accuracy and the detail! Decided to upgrade to the Dark Sky app once it was introduced. It worked for a week or two, but now has almost constantly been unable to provide a forecast or weather updates. Very disappointed, wasted my money.

Best $4 Ive ever spent on an app

This app is unbelievably accurate. I rely on it time and time again. It tells you (to the minute) when a storm will hit and how heavy the rain will be. This was super useful when we were at an outdoor flea market. We got a 1 minute warning, found a covered area and knew that it would be over within 8 minutes. The iWatch integration is also pretty good. Its nice to get the weather warnings on my wrist.

Numerous bugs

I really liked the app but the resent bugs with the widget and the slow watch app make it worthless. It is currently so bad I went back to apples weather app since it is at least capable of quickly showing me a readable temperature
