at first i thought it was remembrance thread for a dead goon but i couldn't recall any poster by that name. then i tried to think of someone famous, and banksy was the closest so that didn't make sense either.

i thought it was a sub, yeah. it wouldn't be the first time they left an app unbranded and functional, seems like a lost chance at easy money/showing what comes with ios for free*

OK yeah I was paying. It was only $2.99/year which may not have seemed worth the effort for Apple, but they probably could have cranked that up to like $9.99/year and I wouldn't have even bothered to think about switching to something else.

yeah it seems like easy money the only reason i can think of is that apple didn't really develop the android app i guess. i decompiled the apple music android app a few months back and was half-surprised to find its kind of similar to itunes on windows, i.e. a bunch of ios frameworks are reimplemented in java, presumably so they can use the same code

it was pretty hilarious they had a separate app before the official darksky app was overhauled, and then never released the new one in Canada despite the website working just fine here lol

is there a weather app/site that just shows actual radar on loop instead of "extending" it into futurecast with random blobs of precipitation that have no bearing on real conditions? like, when there's a thunderstorm, i just want to see where the storm cells are coming from and where they are currently to know if i'm in the path, but pretty much every site now automatically shows the past 30 min real radar followed by 1 hour of "predicted" radar which is completely useless

i don't know if this will help you but i love windy.com for all weather related stuff and you can set the length of the timeline with a slider at the bottom

weather.gov is a little unintuitive and weird, like most fedgov sites (looking at you forest service) but its pretty cool once you get used to it. i love the long term forecasts and precipitation tracking.

mystes posted:This article simultaneously makes me feel glad that someone else misses it but also like I might be even more of a weirdo than I realized for caring about a weather app I know Dark Sky wasn’t horribly accurate with its predictions, because I know that we don’t really know how to predict the weather. But I’m going to try to do it anyways. And Dark Sky gave me the information in a way that I liked. Weather is alright. I didn’t notice a change in the quality of predictions after acquisition or anything. But the Dark Sky interface was nicer.

iOS says that my weather is fine and breezy. my eyes looking out the window sees rain. lots of rain. it is a garbage app. I use Windy a bit. it seems to me more correct than iOS

the radar precipitation map in the new apple weather app is way more low res and blotchy than the one in dark sky, has a weird jerky transition from frame to frame, and fails to load half the time, even on wifi
