Dark Sky<\/a> (via Hacker News<\/a>, MacRumors<\/a>):<\/p>\n

As previously announced, the Dark Sky iOS app will no longer be available beginning on December 31st, 2022 and, as of this date, already purchased versions of the app will no longer provide weather data. The Dark Sky API and website will continue to function until March 31st, 2023.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

So far I am finding Apple’s weather service to be less accurate than The Weather Channel.<\/p>\n\n

Folks here said the new Weather app has the same info. I upgraded to iOS 16 about a year before I normally would just to check this. And nope, it doesn’t have the one feature I use Dark Sky for – the one feature no other weather app has: the ability to see what the weather was yesterday.<\/p>

It’s what Dark Sky calls “Time Machine”.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n

I’ve LOVED the Dark Sky app for years. I am led to understand Apple’s native weather app is improved in iOS 16 (I haven’t updated yet), but based on reviews, the Dark Sky UI I’ve grown to love isn’t even remotely approximated in Apple Weather app.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
