## What is Acme Weather?

Acme Weather, from the creators of Dark Sky. 

Our homegrown forecasts help you make better decisions about your day.

* Alternate Predictions
Weather is unpredictable, and forecasts are often wrong. Instead of a single guess, Acme displays alternate predictions that show you how reliable the forecast is and the range of possible outcomes.

* Notifications
Never miss important weather again. Acme has notifications for precipitation, severe weather, lighting, daily summaries, and more. Want to know if it'll be windy or if the UV index will be high? Create custom notifications for the conditions you care about.

* Community Reports
There’s nothing more reliable than when someone nearby tells you what’s happening. Acme lets anyone report what they’re seeing, maps it instantly, and alerts you when something’s happening close by.

* Beautiful Maps
Our maps include real-time radar, snow accumulation, air quality, hurricanes and more. The most relevant map will appear directly in your forecast page for instant context.

* Subscription 
Acme is free to use for two weeks, then requires a $25 USD/year subscription. A Family Sharing subscription is also available for $50 USD/year.

* Privacy First
- We collect only what’s necessary to provide the service
- We don’t store your location history
- We don’t sell your data
- We don’t use third-party tracking or analytics tools

### 3/5 — Nice app

*2026-08-16, version 1.0.7*

I like it so far but for the cost of the subscription its in a similar price tier as carrot and as of now does less than carrot. I wish it was easier to see a summary of the day/week and I’d rather have city location at the top rather than specific streets especially when traveling. Also would like to see a different app icon. Hopefully improvements are coming cause this has great potential

### 5/5 — Dark Sky is back!

*2026-08-13, version 1.0.7*

A very well-rounded, clean and informative weather app.  

Brings back the aesthetic and feel of Dark Sky (we all miss you!).  A very welcome new weather app.  

Kudos to the devs.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-08-03, version 1.0.7*

Acme Weather is a great app.   Perfectly location-specific and providing a plethora of great information.  Definitely an app I’m happy to pay for.

I was very sorry to see Dark Sky go.  Its team has developed a VERY worthy successor.

### 4/5 — Change the app logo!

*2026-07-31, version 1.0.7*

Everything else works as advertised but the logo is terrible.

### 5/5 — Dark Sky is back! Thank goodness

*2026-07-30, version 1.0.7*

Making a weather app that really is useful, day in and out. Welcome back!!!

### 2/5 — Just not accurate

*2026-07-25, version 1.0.7*

I really want to love this app. It comes with an amazing pedigree, it looks great, it has some nice ideas but…well, it’s just not accurate. Over a week it forecast rain more than half a dozen times when it was dry as a bone outside. Being pretty doesn’t count for much if it can’t actually forecast the weather reliably. A shame

### 5/5 — Seems Accurate

*2026-07-23, version 1.0.7*

I’ve been using Acme Weather for a few days now and it seems to be spot on as far as predicting precipitation, temperature, etc. It seems to use the NWS API for weather data. It remains to be seen if the $25 subscription price is warranted considering Apple Weather is free.

### 3/5 — Amazing UI

*2026-07-23, version 1.0.7*

I love the interface, how everything is made very simple and easy to access. The only thing I feel disappointed in is the accuracy of the app. Sometimes it would say it would rain, but no rain many times. The maps are amazing

### 5/5 — Favorite Weather App & I Have Tried Many

*2026-07-21, version 1.0.7*

I truly appreciate this weather app. Quickly supplanted my other weather related apps. Just this past week, the AQI maps were very helpful when deciding to take our pup for a walk. I also like that by default, Acme Weather will show other models to give you a good idea about what other models are thinking along with their own efforts. A very transparent mindset. Loved Dark Sky and love this service even more by the same team. BTW, I have used it on macOS Tahoe and earlier macOSes and have never had a problem with it. Your experience may vary but it has been great for me.

### 1/5 — Bug in precipitation report

*2026-07-19, version 1.0.7*

Every morning I open up the app. Every morning it says it’s going to rain for the next hour. Same report, even if there’s not a cloud in the sky.
