The biggest thing I find Weather to be missing is hyperlocal & timely accuracy.
While I understand the UI complaints others have, for the handful of things I normally want to see I find Weather fine enough vs Dark Sky. BUT, the accuracy took a noticeable downward trend.
- chatmasta 2y agoAssuming this is true, why did it happen? Presumably Apple is using the same data feeds and backend as Dark Sky? Or are they missing something?
- jghn 2y agoI don't think that's a safe assumption. The effect was immediate and noticeable. I've seen other posts in this thread after I said this that suggested this was a cost savings measure.
- metabagel 2y agoFrom using the Apple Weather app, I didn’t get the feeling that Apple Weather actually adopted much of the guts of Dark Sky, even though Apple promised to do so.
- dwaite 2y agoWeather has hyperlocal precipitation alerts. I don't believe Weather or Dark Sky have had hyperlocal weather forecasting. I would absolutely love such a feature (since I live far from the center of town in an area with microclimates); I would say both were equivalently faulty on my weather forecasts.
