- krger 2y ago>Plus a very expensive (relatively) subscription. I loved Dark Sky because I bought it and then I had it. Ongoing customer value (hyper-local precipitation forecasts) that has ongoing costs for the developer (weather data) is unsustainable without ongoing revenue (subscriptions). This may have had a thing or two to do with Dark Sky ending in an acquihire.
- mbirth 2y agoThere’s RainAlarm which achieves a similar feature by downloading (freely available) radar imagery and notifying you when the rain echoes are nearby. Worked pretty well when I used this a few years ago. (I’ve now moved to a country where Apple’s rain warnings are pretty accurate.) https://rain-alarm.com https://rain-alarm.com
- shagie 2y agoI'm fond of MyRadar. https://myradar.com https://myradar.com While the radar view is nice, the outlook view is very nice. From a screen shot of the screen shot in the App Store: https://imgur.com/a/U8o1DJw https://imgur.com/a/U8o1DJw and my own outlook The 'ring' data view at the top (and bottom of the second image) is a nice way to represent the data in a limited amount of space (phone / watch widgets).
