End of Service for the Weather Underground API

I completely agree, as a long term WU user I am continually frustrated by their newer site design. The 10-day view is my favorite one but their site reliability and speed are atrocious. Like others in this thread I've been wondering what's going on over there and if they are just going to shut down some day. I used to even have my weather station send data to WU but I stopped doing that because I don't see any value in doing it anymore because their site sucks. Wundermap is slow as well and I've had issues with their iOS app lately too.

I would love to hear what people are using as alternatives. I already use Dark Sky on iOS as well, so that's one. I just want a good 10 day view :(

wunderground is my favorite, and I have a PWS that contributes to it, and I love the 10 day graph, but damn I was pissed when it was no longer the default view. It seems spotty as to whether it remembers to use my PWS or not. I just paid for Carrot (iOS weather app) plus the uberpremium subscription version so I can use WU data in it.

I replaced it with two apps. I mentioned MyRadar upthread, which replaces wundermap; FlowX replaces the forecast.
