the new weather app doesn’t give the same forecasts dark sky did. dark sky was way more accurate

yeah, dark sky was hella accurate

also the watch complication was great and simple: current conditions, high and low, sunrise/sunset time

ds went downhill noticeably after the acquisition so of course it's comparatively lovely now that it's been completely consumed. thapple.

it's basically a given that any decent weather app will be bought by someone (usually the weather channel) and turned into ad-filled garbage

the new ios weather app is fine, but darksky had a nicer interface imo

the rainfall predictions ds provided for my area got perceptibly less accurate after the acquisition. maybe it's coincidence, but when stuff sucks after a change like that it's suspect.

yeah, fair, sometimes the site just had nothing on the radar even though it was going to rain soon, maybe the data feed went off lol

yesterday apple’s forecast showed thunderstorms all day. it way partly cloudy with no rainfall. it did the same thing a few days ago. it’s worthless

i feel like it's fairly accurate here. usually when it says it's going to rain there's something visible on the radar moving in

the "stopping in 25 minutes" or whatever is garbage though and the actual volume of rain is usually wrong. like right now it just says cloudy but it's raining a little bit

actually while i was writing this it switched over lmao:

I think the meaning of rain probabilities kind of just inherently varies between data sources/locations/seasons in general and you have to get used to how to interpret it, which is one reason why switching weather apps sucks

yeah honestly like someone was saying in the bauble thread, just peep the radar. it's way more accurate and you can kind of estimate it yourself
