I highly recommend "Carrot Weather"

Dark Sky was the greatest weather app of all time, and I am beyond thrilled that it's back and better than ever. Uncertainty bands in a forecast? Snow total maps? Genuinely amazing!

Why don't great weather apps stay great? I feel like weather apps are made to be sold. Create something that gets a following, sell it off, let the buyer wreck it trying to monetize it, repeat.

I would love to see one of these companies be content with making and running an excellent weather app but I guessing these all die because they either don't make money or the developer takes the payday and moves on to the next thing.

Here's to hoping for their long term success!

What apple did to dark sky was such a disappointment. Their UI was so good, clear and concise, it was exactly what I wanted from a weather app. Acme is pretty good too, I'm still getting to know it.

For example: on rainy days I really want to know the hourly rain forecast with % chances with no click throughs or scrolling. You can definitely get that with this app, but it is defaulting to temperature. I wonder if that will change contextually with the forecast? For example, it was really windy in Atlanta last night and the weather map seemingly defaulted to wind. Unfortuantely I can't remember if I left it open on wind and it's just carrying that, or if it was contextual.

Anyway. Maps are clear and fast, but need a color key and perhaps alternate color schemes to accomodate people with different color vision. The week-at-a-glance forecast is great, but I'd prefer it (and maps) to be a swipe right/left full screen nav instead of a vertical "analog" scroll. I think the hourly forecast, weekly and maps are different experiences and should be quantized with swipable screens.

(imo, of course.) I should really be telling this to their team.

That app icon tho. Uff Da.

I loved Dark Sky. Sadly this doesn't (yet?) seem to be in the UK app store: I'll certainly try it if it arrives.

I loved Dark Sky, it was a godsend for planning bike rides in the rainy PNW, and I instantly downloaded and paid for this new version.

Maybe this is an unpopular opinion, but when the Dark Sky people got into Apple, the Apple Weather app actually did improve a great deal. It never became as useful as Dark Sky, but I feel like not enough people give them praise for putting maybe 25-50% of Dark Sky's smart features into Apple Weather and making that default app overall much better.

I, too, loved Dark Sky. And I really like how their new one shows an ensemble of predictions from multiple models; that's genuinely new, cool, and useful.

But boy is there a lot of tapping required to see different information in Acme! Since Dark Sky went defunct I've become extremely enamored of the Weather Strip app, which shows a huge amount of data all at once, with excellent, tasteful and even a bit whimsical design that keeps it from becoming overwhelming. And boy it is hard for me to want to go back to needing 4-6 taps to compare today's hourly rain and cloud probabilities with tomorrow's, compared to a single drag to advance Weather Strip's hourly data view into tomorrow and beyond.

It seems like Acme weather and other apps recommended are iOS/MacOS limited. Anyone have an Android app they can recommend? I have not found one I love.

I have found an Android widget I do use frequently:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.motorola.timeweatherwidget
which labels it's source as the Norwegian Weather Service. It's limited to current location tho'...

I love the look and the features of the app so far. But I'm really not a fan of that icon. (It works great as a logo, though! Just not as an icon, in my opinion.)
