Anyone know of a good replacement?

First I foolishly gave the "Weather Channel" app a try. Don't know what I was thinking there, ruled it out after a day. I am now using Climacell. I like it so far, though it is noticeably slowly than dark sky.

Probably going to try out all the other apps in this thread, so thanks for asking.

Don’t know if they have an Android app, but ClimaCell seems decent and they have a good API.

Accuweather isn't too bad.

Accuweather is also rather anti-open data, which is concerning. It's also been actively hostile towards the National Weather Service and increasingly becoming a media company rather than a weather agency.

What is also concerning is that the CEO of Accuweather, Barry Myers, was appointed the head of NOAA, the government agency responsible for providing weather information. To remove the conflict of interest, Myers stepped down and appointed his brother as the new CEO of Accuweather. A pretty clear case of regulatory capture if you ask me.

1weather is decent.

The NWS has an API
