One star for being super pretty, but the accuracy is zipsquat. – Dark Sky Weather Review

The entire point of my spending $3.99 on this app was up to the minute rain notifications. Rain comes fast and furious here in New Orleans and I had high hopes of preserving my patio cushions. I set up my notifications to alert me to the slightest hint of rain but OOPS! Heard the pitter patter of A LOT of raindrops, ran to the window and it wasn’t just sprinkling. It was pouring. My bad, I think. Must’ve done the notifications settings wrong. NOPE! Dark Sky says it’s clear and the rain is 74 miles northwest of me ?. No way it could be THAT wrong, I think. So I check their adorable precipitation map and yep! Sure enough there is rain off in the distance, except that in reality it’s soaking my patio furniture. Weather Underground, The Weather Channel and plain ol’ iPhone Weather app all had it 100% on the nose as “rain begins at 7:30pm” for my exact location. Eh - the furniture will dry out but I really would like my $3.99 back. I have no use for a weather app with zero accuracy.
