## What is Dark Sky Tech & Rain Radar?

### 4/5 — Option

*2026-07-11*

I like all the selections available to customize the app. However the option of how to report the rain inches option does not work. Have tried updating it several times but no luck.

**Developer response:** Hi,

Please update your app. The issue must be fixed.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Kind regards,

### 2/5 — I had high hopes

*2026-06-27*

I had Dark Sky a decade ago and it was fire! Always so accurate. I bought this despite the reviews and canceled the same day. “Clear for the hour” as it was pouring down rain. I even had the premium version. Bummer.

**Developer response:** Thank you for giving the app a try, and we're sorry it didn't meet your expectations. Weather accuracy can occasionally vary depending on rapidly changing local conditions, but we're continuously improving our forecasts. We appreciate your feedback and hope you'll consider giving us another try in the future.

### 1/5 — NOT SUPPORTED!

*2026-06-17, version 2.0.21*

Just wasted $10

### 1/5 — Used to be great

*2026-05-28*

When I originally found this app and downloaded it, it was pinpoint accurate and absolutely amazing ever since Apple has gotten their hands on it. It can’t even tell me that it’s raining. When I’m standing in the rain, looking at the phone like right now.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, and we're sorry to hear about your experience. Weather conditions can sometimes change faster than forecast updates, but we're continuously improving accuracy. We appreciate your support and hope to earn back your trust.

### 2/5 — Not working

*2026-05-17*

I have the premium version that is supposed to allow rain sound updates but it doesn’t update or when it does it is a silent banner that I don’t see flash across my screen! How is this helpful??? Dark sky used to have a very unique alarm when severe weather was coming. This is silent even tho I have sounds turned on for it. Why can’t you keep the format and operating ability like Dark Sky was? Really disappointed in this.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, and we're sorry for the disappointment. Please update to the latest version and try again, as several notification improvements have been included. If the issue persists, please contact us through the app or by email so we can help.

### 1/5 — Fauty

*2026-05-15*

How long does it take for the premium access to start. Just paid £8.99 for it . Still getting pop ups and advertisements. What about it dark sky.

**Developer response:** Hi
Thank you for feedback. Sorry for this situation. Premium access should normally activate within 1 minute, so something definitely went wrong.  

Please try removing and reinstalling the app first. This usually refreshes the premium status correctly.  

If the issue continues and you still see ads or pop-ups, please write back to us and we’ll make sure to fix and compensate for the inconvenience.

### 5/5 — It’s just weather

*2026-05-05*

I feel like I’ve tried all the weather apps, not looking for the perfect weather app, simply searching for simple, clean and informative. That’s what I found here. I love Hyperlocal Weather. Great work. Keep tweaking the app.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the kind words. That’s exactly the experience we’re aiming for — simple, clean, and informative weather without unnecessary clutter.  

We really appreciate your support and feedback, and we’ll definitely keep improving and tweaking the app even further. 😊

### 2/5 — Broken

*2026-04-28*

This is the second time it gives the unable to connect to weatherkit error since I switched to iPhone.

**Developer response:** We're sorry for the inconvenience. Please update to the latest version and try again, as we've made improvements to WeatherKit connectivity. If the issue continues, please contact us through the app or by email so we can investigate further.

### 2/5 — More like hyperloco

*2026-04-12*

No more accurate than Apple native app

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We're continuously improving forecast accuracy and will be adding new, more accurate weather data sources as an alternate in upcoming updates to give users more reliable forecasts. We appreciate your support.

### 2/5 — Notifications

*2026-03-12*

Having the original Dark Sky app which was amazing I thought after 4 yrs having no weather app I now have this one. Had it a week now, all notifications are on, it’s mega windy today and have had NO notification. I was hoping that when it really rains like it has done recently I will get the sound like it says in the description!!

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. Please update to the latest version and make sure the notification options on the **Notifications** page are enabled. If the issue persists after updating, please contact us through the app or by email so we can help investigate.
