Didn’t live up to the hype
I have been using Acme weather for about five months. Let me preface by saying I am not in a remote or rural location, I’m in a large midwestern city. I like the UI and the data seems pretty accurate, but it gets it wrong nearly as much as Apple weather.
If this was a one-time paid app or even a free app with ads, that wouldn’t be an issue, but I’m not paying $25/year for barely any difference from the system default.
YMMV.

Incredible successor to Dark Sky
I’ve missed Dark Sky so much, but this is a worthy replacement for it. The design is clean and easy to navigate. I am able to get all the information I need quickly.
Fine, but behind other apps
This app is perfectly fine. I subscribed even. I just find myself never using it. It doesn’t offer anything that other weather apps don’t already have. I need more customization, more weather maps, more data, etc. This is great for a quick look at the weather but not really usable for any serious meteorology or prediction.

An excellent alternative to many weather apps!
In the last several months of use, this app has slowly improved, and is lovely to use on a daily basis.
I find myself pining for live activity notifications though, especially with incoming rain notifications, and lightning strike alerts. Can we see this in the future? I’d love to make this my only weather app going forward.

Not impressed
Definitely trial this app before paying. I was an original Dark Skies user and loved that app. I had this one for a couple of days before removing it. It does not seem to be working correctly. Maybe down the road after some glitches get worked out, but definitely not worth right now
Worst weather app ever
This app‘s accuracy is the worst. I’m a weather nut and I have many weather apps installed. The last 10 times Acme Weather said to expect rain, there has been no rain. Its temperature predictions are off. I paid to subscribe to this app. I had a high hopes for it … but now I wish I had my money back.

Not the Dark Sky I remember
I would love to be able to get severe weather notifications for more than my current location. Please add favorites as an option.
Nice app
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

Dark Sky is back!
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.

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!
