Bit annoyed as best weather app I’ve used. They taken the info into the native weather app but I don’t think it displays as nicely (and losing the ability to see DarkSky on other platforms)… Suspect I’ll be playing with other weather apps again until I settle on one again.

After I heard the news I actually did switch myself over to the Apple weather app, and I’ve actually been quite enjoying it too. The design is nice and it shows me a majority of what I really need to know, and the widget is quite nice as well. As far as Apple apps go it’s probably the only app of theirs that I feel is actually done well and that’s 100% because of them buying dark sky lol

My least favorite part of the app is the clunky nature of clicking on things to get more info, dark sky was snappy and when you tapped on something it would play a quick animation but show everything right below what you tapped on, like the temps through the day for example. Apples app plays a much longer and more clumsy animation that brings up a separate page or “card” which I just really hate. It’s overall an alright app that I don’t hate using but god I’m gonna miss how intuitive and snappy dark sky was…

There’s more to photos than noise. Dynamic range for example, always a weakness in phone cameras. Even between my SE1 and SE2 there is a marked difference. Surely your 13 mini must be very much better overall than your 5? If not, there may be a fault.

It probably depends on where you live, what type of weather you receive, etc. I personally use Today weather. But there are lots to chose from. Try them out and see which works best for you.

It’s the gold standard of iPhone weather apps. It pioneered “hyperlocal” forecasting, where the app would tell you down to the minute when it would start and stop raining, for example. Apple bought the app a couple of years ago, integrated some, but not all, of its features into the stock Westher app, removed it from Android, and will shut down the app entirely on 01 Jan 2023.
