Did anyone else here use the iOS Dark Sky app before Apple purchased it and incorporated it into the iOS Weather app?

I was always amazed at how accurate Dark Sky was, especially the notifications like "Light rain starting at your location in 11 minutes and expected to last until 3:20PM" and similar.

It was rare when Dark Sky was off more than a minute or when precipitation didn't happen as expected. Truly one of the best apps I've ever used on iOS.

I find the Weather app is seldom correct with its similar notifications. Sort of shocking how poor it is in comparison.

I can only guess Apple uses different data sources than Dark Sky did and they're far less accurate.

The rest of the Weather app is nice, it has a nice GUI, it's easy to use, and other data seems far more reliable.

Some people have recommended apps like CARROT Weather or Ventusky to replace Dark Sky, but they have subscription fees and there's no way I'm paying that for a weather app. I hate software subscriptions.
