Great App
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.

Change the app logo!
Everything else works as advertised but the logo is terrible.
Dark Sky is back! Thank goodness
Making a weather app that really is useful, day in and out. Welcome back!!!
Just not accurate
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

Seems Accurate
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.
Amazing UI
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
Favorite Weather App & I Have Tried Many
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.

Bug in precipitation report
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.
Great App!
You won’t be disappointed. Best weather app I have ever used.
Family
While i like the app and it seems to be reasonably correct! I strongly dislike that apple family sharing does mot work and my wife must buy it just like i did! Apple says - : built-in sharing systems that let family members download purchased apps for free, and collaborative apps designed for family households.

Excellence
This is the freshest weather app in so long from some incredible developers; it’s already great and I can’t wait to see where it goes. This is my main weather app—speaking as a weather and app nerd who has spent too much on apps. This and Carrot for alerts are all you need. This app has the info you need easily visible instead of buried like Carrot. It incorporates uncertainty which is SUCH a fresh idea; every other app either pretends it knows everything or gives SO much data that you need to be a meteorologist to read it. Just get it already!

Disappointed
Someone commented “Dark Sky is back”. I strongly disagree with this statement. Accuracy of this weather app is extremely low, notifications for weather alerts are turned on but never actually come through and there have been no improvements during my time of use. Unless the app dev team truly dives into fixing the issues, I’ll call it a waste of time and money and discontinue my subscription.

Now in Europe!
Been waiting for this dark sky was a brilliant app and this is more of what made it so great.
That said not really overly
Enamoured with having to drop a years sub on a weather app before I can get a real feel for how accurate it is. Would appreciate a monthly option

They’re back - and now in the UK/Europe too
I’ve missed Dark Sky for a long time, and now it’s reincarnated as Acme Weather.
Feels instantly familiar and based on the team’s past performance, this is a new app to trust.
Love the alternative forecast lines that help show how close the apps own forecast is to the data sources the algorithm uses is genius.
Lots of weather data available if you want to view it too.
Big thanks.

Since Dark Sky, I have not been able to find an accurate weather app. Very happy
Welcome back, you’ve been missed
Dark Sky was fantastic then Apple bought it and well did what big companies do.
Acme Weather easy and so far accurate. Community reports will be amazing once more user find and use Acme, it’s like Waze reports but for weather.
But, visually it looks dated and the strange beige accent colour reminds of a 1950’s American home and Claude AI, it’s not a nice choice.
Then it’s the subscription price. £25 a year when your competitor Carrot is £29.49 a year and providers significantly more. Maybe once Acme has established itself and has more features they can justify the price, but I can’t yet.
Most importantly it’s made by the same people that made the original Dark Sky app, so we know we’re in good hands.
What I’d like to see:
- Better value for subscription price or a subscription price that matches the apps features
- Little bit of customisation would be nice. I dislike the accent colour used in dark mode
- More modern feel to UI
- Decide what is shown on the Home Screen map. It’s fixed to temperature which I find useless. Cloud and rain radar would be more useful.
- Better lock screen widgets
- Lighting for Europe. If Carrot can do it, Acme must be able to
- and of course the return of the vertical weather view that made Dark Sky so visually amazing to use.

Beautiful, fast, well thought out
Nicest weather app I’ve used since dark sky went away (same devs). Easy to read at a glance, fast to load and loads of detail if you want to drill down further. My only request would be the option to have a white background option for the widget as the tint messes with my homescreen setup!
Where is Cambridge?
The app keeps switching to showing the weather in someplace called Cambridge (which one? England, Massachusetts, ?). I want it to show the weather where I am. I already set my location as a favorite but that seems to have no effect.
Finally a weather app that works!!!
Finally an app I can rely on again. Hasn’t been one this good since Dark Sky.
