Strange comment. As it was originally mostly ECMWF and a few other EU centric models that supported near term precip better than US models, it seemed better in EU to me. It got worse after it took off in US though, I'd agree. Meanwhile climacell worked better in US.
Consider checking out windy.app to compare models easily for one or a mix of several that work best where you are:
edit: what a horrible app, can't delete unwanted cards from Feed and 14 days forecast show tempratures only for tomorrow with no data shown for other days plus let's ignore the fact it's iOS design just ported on Android
Windy is great as well and I have been using that as well for forecasting, but one thing that’s missing compared to the Rainviewer/DarkSky seems to be the “real time” alerts.
Thats what I believe DarkSky never supported outside US/UK - doppler radar or whatnot based notifications that seemed to be its main selling point. Apple Weather doesn’t support next hour precipitation notifications either outside UK/Ireland and US:
> Next-hour precipitation forecasts and precipitation notifications are available for Ireland, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

I'd moved from DarkSky to this years back, thanks to frequent travel to weird weather areas where I needed locally accurate microclimate handling.
