Now terrible

M_J_S

Used to be great - now it’s useless. Says 28 cm of snow but only snowing for 1/2 an hour. Not even consistent with itself anymore, let alone anything else. Did everyone leave after the acquisition?


Does not correctly provide hourly forecast for a storm in next 24 hours

I am disappointed that Dark Sky fails to provide details of a snowstorm about to pass in next 24 hours. There is no “snow” events, probability of precipitation is less than 30%. Yet NWS expects snow between 8-10inch, but Dark Sky has it at 12-19in.


No widget support

TheRadDocDJ

The main reason I bought this app on my iPad is because I wanted a Dark Sky widget on my iPad’s iOS Home Screen.


Not accurate

Hater of Drive Ahead

Temperature is off says rating when it’s not says raining when it’s snowing


New map

I do not like the new map. Not definitive wheen tou bring it closer.


Why does Dark Sky send a notification about rain when it could only be snow?

BGOVT33

I love Dark Sky, but I can’t give it 5 stars after a notification that light rain was stopping - when it’s less than 15F outside and obviously we’d been getting snow. If the temperature can’t inform the app what’s coming down, I suggest it use “precipitation” instead of specifying the type.


Tornado

Tim 11341

Why use the word Tornado to indicate -32 degree F daytime temperature? A Tornado is a serious and dangerous weather condition and has not been used warn of low daylight temperatures.


What happened?

Julien Says

Several years ago, I swore by this app and recommended it to everyone the first time I was notified just seconds before rain began. Now it’s delayed and I’ve been overcharged. Very disappointing.


Less then worthless

Netscorer

As the moment of the writing we have a full blown blizzard covering the entire north east going on for hours. Dark sky shows overcast sky with no precipitation. Couple of weeks ago we had a much smaller winter storm and dark sky showed wind gusts topping 80mph - these are major hurricane forces. This app weather forecast is so bad, the chimpanzee would do a better job just randomly selecting weather cubes. It’s an embarrassment, but what can you do when devs just stopped caring about the app destined to be put out to parties by Apple.


Just plain wrong most of the time

Shackbird

I’ve given up on this app and don’t understand why people rate it so highly. I rarely get accurate weather forecasts and today is the most laughable example. We’re on a blizzard watch and all the weather reports and other apps give hours and hours of snow for the next 24 hrs. Dark sky gives possibly 2-3 hours of light snow in the middle of the day tomorrow. Useless for giving accurate predictions so one can plan their day reliably. I’m finally deleting it.
