Precipitation Reporting and Predictions WAY off – Dark Sky Weather Review

Save your money. You can get more accurate weather condition readings and forecast for FREE elsewhere. Highly disappointing performance. After years of inaccurate forecasting by the default iPhone weather app, I downloaded Dark Sky after seeing it was an “editor’s choice.” While the UI is nice looking, from day one the recording was off and did not seem as detailed as the other apps. I got to test this out against a storm today, and the app showed light rain when it was snowing and sleeting outside. It was unable to accurately forecast precipitation conditions two hours ahead all day, and greatly under reported the storm for both New York City to central south shore Long Island. Even their satellite map showed precipitation clouds over both areas, but the read out stated otherwise. Very disappointed that the default iPhones app was more accurate.
