**The best app out there. I do not understand what people are even saying that it does not work on Android. It works awesome on my android. Maybe you guys need a real android phone!! Every option works on this app and works perfect since I am a soccer coach.**

This app is the cleanest weather application and has some interesting features that separate it from the rest. However, the radar is inaccurate - almost as if its late to update? It will be raining and the radar will show that my area is within the portion that is not raining for the moment. For the radar, I find myself constantly opening up the weather underground app for the most up to date radar.

As someone who rides a motorcycle, this app has saved me more than once with in comming rain. I love the attention to detail being able to know by the minute when it is going to rain. Seeing when sunset and sunrise is, is also very helpful. Keep up the great work!

The daily report only generates a few days a week. When you to to the Help/Support area and click the Android tab, then Need More Support, nothing comes up. This is unacceptable for an app I pay for.

Very different than most weather apps - very simple interface without a lot of customization options. Initially it seemed to be missing details I had grown accustomed to in other apps, but after using it for a couple weeks I realized Dark Sky excels at its primary function - accurate short-term forecasts in a way I've not found with other weather apps. Love the precision - it will tell you to the minute when precipitation will begin and end.

It's great, I check it every time before leaving the house, or if going to shop. I check before heading home so not getting my goods wet up. I check to make sure it's not going be too windy if I need an umbrella for example. Or the UV level so I know to wear my sunglasses, as I have recently been diagnosed with the early stages of cataracts, & a new symptom of having a shadow in my peripheral vision of my left eye, & will be going back to be re-examined to see what's causing the shadow & if anything can be done for it. There for being very careful about U.V. rays. So you can see how important it is to me, to be cautious with my eyes 👀.

Needs better graphics for radar. Most apps beat Dark Sky where the radar is concerned. On my 8+ the radar looks almost out of focus.
I've been using another app that starts with a use to be good but it doesn't update like before. so far Dark Sky this is the best
Just not accurate. The standard weather app on my Google pixel is far more accurate. This dark sky was supposed to be super accurate. It's just not even close
Best weather app!!! It is super accurate and well worth the subscription. The radar works well if you like that but I love the widget that tells me precipitation over the hour.
Kept resetting to US units and the notification never updated the temperature. Add to that the depressing colour scheme and the fact that it lost my subscription many times and you've not got much left to recommend.
Fantastic app. 100% accurate. Really handy when outside. When you see the rain is coming you can quickly find shelter and you can then watch everyone get caught out! Works perfect on Samsung edge
Paid for widget use, and it never updates. No way to set update time intervals. Upate to Nougat.....now app cant find me. No temp display and widget not working. Trash.
I love the up to the minute rain forecast. It is not an easy task to predict the weather to that extent, but dark sky does a pretty good job of it. I highly recommend this app to anyone who loves weather apps
Very handy app. I generally don't do paid subscriptions for apps, but the price is reasonable for what you get.
Good app but some issues. I am using the app on my Note 5 and I constantly have to open the app for it to connect. My husband has it on his iPhone and he does not have this issue.
Slick interface.. Intuitive. I really love how accurate dark sky is for predicting when rain is coming, and for how long.
Had to change my review from bad to good. I've been really impressed after using it for a while.
The radar map still does not work. I am going to get another weather app if the next update does not fix this.
By far my favorite weather app. I'm so glad that this is a subscription service, that means they'll continue updating the app and improving it. Just renewed for my next year and hope many more come.
Have searched high and low for a weather app. All apps give about the same information, but the excellence of Dark Sky is in the straight forward and uncluttered way the information is provided. Beautifully and effectively designed. Well done!!!
I felt I got ripped off a year ago when the free trial lapsed into a subscription, but as soon as it lapsed this year I realised I use this app everyday ... It is very accurate and when it predicts when the rain will stop I feel like the Doc in Back To The Future II when he predicts the rain will stop...
It's raining at my house right now and the app says there is a 0% chance.
It's thunderstorming right now but the app says clear and sunny. It's like this all the time.
For the notifications, instead of "light rain starting soon," can it be more specific and state that "rain is starting in x number of minutes" and also "rain is stopping in x number of minutes". The app and graphics are very intuitive and pleasing!
I'm seriously confused as to why such a popular app has such a low rating! I seriously appreciate how accurate this app is. Coming from Yahoo weather it's a nice change.
Inaccurate forecasts. No radar coverage. Rather dissapointed overall
I tried to like it but after 2 days I'm uninstalling because it is inaccurate.
Great little app. Tells you when it's going to rain. Gives exact chance of rain. Not a bad price for the year!
Very accurate, has not been wrong yet! The minute by minute rain warning is an outstanding, reliable tool. Thanks for this app!
Terrific app, does exactly what it's supposed to do. The widgets, however, need work.
Very cool app: I love the satellite view, and the hourly forecasts are quite accurate. Price is lower than it should be.
I have used probably 20 to the 25 weather apps, and this is by far my favorite. This is my daily go to Weather App.
I work outdoors so I need reliable up to date forecasting. I've finally found the app I've been looking for. Fantastic, thanks.
I downloaded it some days ago, and have liked it so far. Great interface and accurate information.
Im a truck driver and this weather app is the most accurate one ive ever had very helpful!
Tells you the weather and when it's coming; you could set your watch to it.
Accurate to the minute...... cool graphics. Not a rescource hog like many other apps. Intuitive user interface.
Straight forward, easy to find current conditions and forecasts. Great app!
Hands down the best weather app out there. The Android dev must be a genius.
