Apple Shutting Down Popular Weather App 'Dark Sky' Tomorrow

They didn’t bring over all the functionality.

Dark sky has hour by hour by percent probability as well as projected precipitation.

Apple has a rounded percent in two hour blocks. And its numbers are different. For example, Apple shows the moon and stars icon for 6pm; DS shows 28% and .01 inch/hour.

Apple consistently has less information and I’ll miss DarkSky. I paid $5 and don’t usually buy apps.

I think Apple’s purchase is a negative for users.

You buy an app.

Apple buys out the app developer Apple kills the app

You don't have your app now
