This app looks awesome but I assume it doesn't work in California right?

@mzuvella It's always worked for me in SF.

@mzuvella It works throughout the US and the UK. Other countries aren’t covered very well at the moment, though.

I've used this since day 1. It's a fantastic idea that I'm surprised hasn't been white labeled into the OS yet. Isn't the data available on http://forecast.io on the web and Arcus on Android?

Bought it. Just told me it was going to drizzle. Let's see if its right!

Yet another reason to get back on iOS ;) Very slick - used it on my friend's device and the accuracy is phenomenal.

@hawkinsmike You can get the same data on http://forecast.io/, their website/Android web app :)

Been a user since the original version (kickstarter!) and nice to follow its progress and see continued development to make a better experience.

There is one sentence in the app store description that must be corrected "works only in US & Canada" it should mention that Radar is ..... The app overall is perfect and better than weathernerd but recommend to activate Radar internationally

Dark Sky is the most accurate source of hyperlocal weather information. With down-to-the-minute forecasts, you’ll know exactly when the rain will start or stop, right where you're standing. (It's like magic.)

I'm a big fan of this app. It's the only weather app I use / trust and have told several people about it.

I think rain alarm was better at warning of approaching rain, but this is way shinier and doesn't have annoying ads.

Pros:

amazing maps, easy to read 10-day forecast by the hour

Cons:

often tells me it's going to rain as I start getting wet
