I have moved from Dark Sky to Weather Strip: https://www.weatherstrip.app https://www.weatherstrip.app It does a really nice job of showing me most of what Dark Sky showed, in a similarly easy-to-glance-at format once I spent a little time learning to read its graphs. I think Carrot Weather has a lot of graphs directly ripped off from Dark Sky but the constant attempts to upsell me to a subscription plan while I was playing with it really turned me off, as did the "what political alignment would you like the sweary forecast to have" switch.

I’m a big fan of https://weathergraph.app https://weathergraph.app since the Pebble days. It’s the same concept, but if I’m honest better designed than Weather Strip.

Nice thanks for the iOS rec. I've been a big fan of FlowX (https://flowx.io/ https://flowx.io/) on Android which has had a similar graph/visualization with the addition of also having a radar view.

  BTW, I'm in the process of porting Flowx to Apple. It's not as complete as the Android version but it's in beta testing if you'd like to join. Just message me and I can send an invite.

Thank you, I love it. Weather Underground has something similar, but this has the potential to get a lot better.

Hey, me too. Once I downloaded Weather Strip I had trouble understanding how its display methodology wasn't just the standard across weather apps -- I was hit with a serious “wait, why isn't everything like this?” moment. I'd never seen another app that makes the weather so quickly grokkable.

I am a big fan of https://merrysky.net/ https://merrysky.net/ which is explicitly trying to copy/rescue from the grave the Dark Sky look.

I use the National Weather Service and added a shortcut to my home screen.
