I wouldn’t pay 60 cents for it, let alone $60. It doesn’t do anything and it doesn’t support the apps that used to use Dark Sky. Why did you get rid of Dark Sky if you were gonna replace it with this spiral bound notebook-era, tedious POS? ### 5/5 — Useful weather app *2025-11-09* Useful weather application. ### 5/5 — Enter a name or phone number *2025-09-04, version 3.9.1* App ### 1/5 — Poor remake of the original app *2025-07-03, version 3.9.1* App isn’t doing anything at all…complete dud! Dark Sky original used to tell within seconds when it would start raining- this app hasn’t warned me of anything including the current thunderstorm ### 2/5 — Has support ended? *2025-03-29, version 3.9.1* I was still getting charged for a subscription, but the app crashes on launch. ### 1/5 — Useless - crashes on Allow Access *2025-02-10, version 3.9.1* Downloaded tried to open multiple times without success. Support email doesn’t exist, cannot send. How did this get through Apple’s control body? ### 1/5 — Useless *2024-12-17, version 3.9.1* Useless ### 3/5 — It’s ok *2024-12-16, version 3.9.1* I don't like the comments about the weather. Seems kind of childish. Wish I went with the free trial before I paid for the app 🤦🏽‍♀️ ### 5/5 — Bello *2024-12-09* Bella e valida ### 3/5 — Simple *2024-11-10, version 3.9.1* Looks good, is mostly accurate. My only issue is not having radar access in the free version. Why charge for radar? In a life threatening storm situation, radar access is key. There are a handful of app that charge for radar, and imo, I think that does a disservice to potential customers. Even if there is a basic radar for free version, this app would be a 5 star. ## Frequently asked questions about WeatherKit ### What does WeatherKit do?

Apple's purchase of DarkSky also meant that the DarkSky API was no longer available — and we've now removed that option altogether. All free users have been updated to WeatherKit's Pro option, OpenWeatherMap as a data source until we finalise adding some other options. ### 3.9 — 2022-10-05 It's been a while! This version brings many performance updates - and it includes a fix for those of you who couldn't add new cities in Glances. More updates to come soon-ish! For those of you transitioning from DarkSky: welcome back! ### 3.8.5 — 2020-04-22 And there it is. To ease things in for WeatherKit 4, we've updated our visual identity to something we've had in progress for some time. ### 3.8.4 — 2020-03-05 We're making slow progress towards a shiny new version. With this update, we only fixed a couple of hurdles. · GET A LIFETIME PASS FOR FREE · If you enjoy using WeatherKit, please consider sharing it with your friends on social media — and if you do so, use the #WeatherKit tag and win a lifetime Pro license.
