Reply to Looking for an application to transfer/back up iPhone Photos to an External Hard Drive without a Computer. by ArgyleDiamonds

Out of curiosity, is there a reason you don’t want to just use iCloud? Since this does everything you’re looking to do as far as back up, but without the hassle of ever having to remember to back up. Just does it automatically. It can then be accessed from any computer or device via the iCloud app or web interface

When you take a pic of your hand, click the button, and then move your hand, do you find that the camera is slow? It makes the snap sound and seems like it’s taking a pic of your still hand before it moves, but it lags and then Actually catches a pic of your hand after it as moved

Apple messed up big time. They should have dumped their own Weather app and made Dark Sky their installed default app.

Dark Sky definitely got it right with an incredibly efficient and informative display. Almost all of that data has now made it into Apple's Weather app, but with much more concern for making it pretty than making it efficient.

I started using Dark Sky in 2008 when it was nothing but the forecast.io website. There was no app yet and it had not been renamed to Dark Sky yet. I started transitioning to Weather after Apple announced the death of the app. I used both of them for a while, but have now been 100% Weather app for a few months.

I use https://maps.darksky.net quite often. I'll miss that when it's gone, or maybe they will leave it up and rename it?

>I dont know what the fuzz about this is.

It was the best weather app there was. Apple obviously agreed, because they chose to buy that one and not some other one.

>Although one thing. I’m hoping it might stay on until April now?

The Dark Sky API will remain available through the end of March, so services like Carrot Weather that use it for their weather data can continue using the data until then, then they will have to switch to Apple WeatherKit or find another provider.

The Dark Sky app should die tonight.
