Seems kind of childish. Wish I went with the free trial before I paid for the app 🤦🏽‍♀️ ### 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. ### 4/5 — Ok *2024-09-30, version 3.9.1* It is good. ### 3/5 — Where data sources *2024-06-22, version 3.9.1* Cool bur idk where data sources is ### 3/5 — Where’s the beef? *2023-10-19, version 3.9.1* Looking for radar in this app, have yet to find it in professional version. Doesn’t seem particularly easy to configure so far!! ### 1/5 — Bring Back Dark Sky *2023-07-03, version 3.9.1* If this is the replacement for Dark Sky, it’s an abysmal failure. It give me way less information, including zero advance warning of precipitation events. Paying for this ap is a waste of money. ### 3/5 — Abandoned? *2023-07-02, version 3.9.1* There was an update 3 months ago, but still in the app it says “infoValue” in places where it’s clearly supposed to have that value - basic functionality breakage. It still points to Twitter and Reddit for support. Their website has literal lorem ipsum text in every FAQ answer. It looked like it had potential, but now it looks like it’s just dying on the vine. ### 2/5 — Not Thrilled *2023-05-05, version 3.9.1* Apparently Apple bought a weather app called Dark Sky. It was perfection. Since then I’ve been searching for it. This is the third app that seems to claim to be the Apple version of Dark Sky. It does not in any way measure up to DarkSky. It g e extremely accurate HOURLY weather including rain predictions. Like I could time running a 20 min errand between showers. 9t was that good. Every day. All the time. I hope they were -aid a ton because their app is gone with the wind. I miss it every day and I’m still looking. This is okay but ‘no” if I’m going to pay for a weather app it needs to give me real hourly weather information. ### 1/5 — keep crashing *2023-04-25, version 3.9* Freshly installed but it keeps crashing. Won’t run app fully. ### 1/5 — App Just Crashes *2023-04-22, version 3.9* I’ve reinstalled this app multiple times. I can’t get it to work, after I “allow access”…crash. Every time. ### 1/5 — Glad I paid for this *2023-04-19, version 3.9* I paid for the full version and months later the app glitches and refuses to open. Can’t get my money back. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Give me my money back *2026-03-16, version 3.9.1* …because this thing sucks. 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? ### 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 ### 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 ### 1/5 — Can't plan *2024-08-16, version 3.9.1* The app has a lot of information, but (for me) one of the most important things is that I need to be able to access weather information for tomorrow. Three plus days ahead is fine, but sometimes we simply need to know how it will be in the next 24-36 hours & it won't allow me to click on the day ahead. That's not always good. ### 1/5 — Project has been abandoned *2024-07-14, version 3.9.1* *update* a recent non-update was released that adds nothing other than a new version number to not kicked off the App Store due to the project being abandoned. I wouldn't expect another update for multiple years. Please continue to avoid this app and developer. Do not download. Over 2 years with no updates although major updates was promised for free after purchasing at a sale price. That was a scam developer took everyone's money and vanished. Doesn't reply on Twitter, support site or emails. The developer as officially abandoned this project avoid this app and any other apps they release unless if you course you enjoy being grifted. ### 1/5 — So far I am disappointed *2023-11-29, version 3.9.1* And dissatisfied. This app is “light” on information at best. Waiting to see if I dm missing something? The radar is a joke. No doplar! Maybe u just haven’t updated me because I actually paid for the lifetime pro version. ### 1/5 — Without doubt the WORST weather app I have ever encountered *2023-10-31, version 3.9.1* If I could I wouldn’t give it ANY stars ### 1/5 — Terrible *2023-08-01, version 3.9.1* This is not a DarkSky app upgrade or replacement. Do not pay for the upgrade because it won’t give you what Dark Sky used to deliver. Completely disappointed! ### 1/5 — Hate it! *2023-07-18, version 3.9.1* I want dark sky back with 7+ day global forecast map- this is a pile of crap & shows me nothing! What a huge disappointment ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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 ### 5/5 — Bello *2024-12-09* Bella e valida ### 5/5 — Love it *2024-05-16, version 3.9.1* Love it ### 5/5 — Best app and developers *2024-01-26, version 3.9.1* Tried to purchase lifetime premium and the app keeps crashing. Really wanted to get premium but couldn’t. Then the developers worked with me to make sure I could. They sent fixes that allowed me to purchase and support them. That’s fast independent support. ### 5/5 — Great weather app *2023-08-26, version 3.9.1* Simple to use and easy to understand. Witty too! ### 5/5 — Genial *2023-06-16* Genial ### 5/5 — Weather on your laps *2023-06-15, version 3.9.1* This weather is the best and the greatest. Thank you for the Daily weather forecast and I loved it. ### 5/5 — WeatherKit *2022-12-16, version 3.9* Great app.!!! ### 5/5 — 竟然更新了，给个赞 *2022-10-06* 你好，麻烦添加中文，中国市场真的很大，已内购支持 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
