Kind of sucks that companies buy their competitors just to disable them.

They integrated the team into their own free weather offerings.

That also leaves former Android users of Dark sky out in the cold. I've been using the website since, but that disappears in March as well.

Good point, I wasn't thinking about the Android side of things.

In theory, all of the features of Dark Sky are now present in Weather. In practice, it doesn't seem that way.

I'm not sure I used any of the features that haven't been ported over yet, maybe the local reporting feature which I was never sure if it actually did anything. In practice the stock weather app is good enough for me now.

It’s all there, but the app is designed in the modern Apple framework where the top 5 things are front and center, but features that aren’t in the top 5 are buried in awkward, undiscoverable places.

Even several clicks deep, I can't find any way to show the precipitation probability forecast by hour. I (eventually) have eight options, but that isn't one.

Except some of the Apple Watch complications. Still missing.

Oligopolies are the way of the world it seems.
