Very Accurate! Must Have!⛈

This little app surprises me every time with how accurate it really is and has a very nice and clean UI everything is easy to find! I highly recommend this weather app and it is my primary one

Cant delete saved locations

Youre supposed to be able to swipe right to delete saved locations, but swiping does nothing except opens the location youre trying to delete. There is a little red X to the right of each saved location, but when you try to push it, presumably to delete that location, nothing happens, or, worse, that location opens. The app used to be pretty accurate, but lately it has said no precipitation while it was raining, and said drizzle with it was not raining. In spite of all that, I think its still, overall, the best weather app available.

Excellent App

Very accurate app. Rain prediction is usually spot on. Wind predictions for hunting season are amazingly accurate allowing me to pick my deer stands to properly hunt the wind.

Not Worth $4

This app does not warn you when it is going to rain like they show on TV. It has some nice functionality but definitely not worth four dollars...

Its ok

Does not always catch weather condition in the home city.

Not for SoCal mountains

I have used this app for a few weeks now. The only things Dark Sky gets correct is my physical location at 6800 feet in the San Bernardino Mountains and the current temperature. Forecasts seem to be for some other distant location consistent with an elevation of about 3000 feet with high and low temperatures completely inaccurate for my locale. Radar is vague compared real-time to all of my other weather radar apps and fails to notify of precipitation correctly. I have also received false precipitation notifications when all of my other weather apps and the National Weather Service were correctly showing no precipitation. I would not solely rely on this app for outdoor mountain activities where it is important to know if or when the weather will turn hazardous. From the reviews Ive read, this app seems to work best for cities in the flatlands.

Has Great Potential, needs a little work

This looked like a great app and after a lot of consideration I finally bought it. Its pretty cool but sometimes its not completely accurate. And Outside 24 hours the futurecast will sometimes dramatically change every hour. Pretty nice app with great potential, but not really worth the money...For Now

Amazingly accurate!

I live in Portland and I dont need an umbrella.

My favorite weather app

Ive found Dark Sky to be accurate and reliable without any problems at all both in New England where I lived previous to being down here in North Carolina for the past two years. Ive been using this app for four years now in total and Ive never had a problem with it and its always provided me with reliable weather information. Im another one who likes using various weather apps for their differing features but Dark Sky is always the first one I check.

Such a great app

I just love this weather app so much. Its all Ive used for two years. So useful.

Needs "windy" option

There isnt a windy option in the self weather reporting feature

Inaccurate..very

According to dark sky, the wind here is at 19mph. In reality, its 30mph gusting to 38mph and has been so consistently for ~2hrs (not even including gusts). To answer the obvious question, I am a military pilot and am pulling the wind data directly from the airfield (besides it being obvious when stepping outside). Dark sky says the wind isnt supposed to get above 20mph all night.

Great app

The app is good, simple and clean easy to use. It is also a great weather app Good job

My iPhone loves it, not my watch.

I have been trying to reinstall the app for millions of time but guess what, after 5 months of trying, I gave up. Simply, because I cant get the app work on my Apple Watch no matter what.

Best App I own

This app is so handy for hikers, walkers, yard work, walking dogs, running errands & for any activity that requires being outside. You can set the level of rain you want to be alerted about. Its unbelievably accurate!

Best weather app hands down

This thing has a little bit of God built in. Its accurate about 90 percent of the time. Its perfect if you ride a motorcycle, it lets you know when the rain is coming and when it aint coming. Today it was suppose to rain by 3 I checked the app it updates and went to 6pm. It is perfect I am able to plan my bike day around it.

Love this App

I got this app years ago because it was suggested in a magazine for weather nuts. I have told every friend and client (Im a hair stylist) about this app. It was right on about 98% of the time. My kids and friends with Droids cant get this app so they call me for weather reports on days of importance. The app has several parts to it that are so informational. Any where I am...ANYWHERE...I can know the chance of rain, wind, temperatures, humidity, and a radar of the area. LOVE THIS APP

Right down to the minute

Used this as my primary weather app for the past few years. Even off shore its usually right down to the minute! Need to add severe weather warnings.

My go to weather app.

I have used this app for over a year, its the first weather app I go to.

Works as advertised

Living is South Florida, I find this app extremely accurate. When it drizzles I know it 30 seconds before. Each time I hear the ping I look and it is raining. Very happy with app, I use it daily at work at my golf club and at home.
