I've been using Dark Sky for years but I uninstalled it yesterday. Since the acquisition, the native Weather app has been massively upgraded with a lot of Dark Sky's best features and is very good now.

I ran the two in parallel for a few months to compare the alerts and accuracy. Weather won out.

Weird, because for me, in the UK, the weather radar is much, much lower resolution in the Weather app.

Dark Sky app however always had a longstanding bug that it’d never show past radar, only future sliding predictions, so I guess both have their problems.

I’m holding on a bit longer until Apple releases their app for the iPad. Until then, Dark Sky is probably still the best bet.
