No longer accurate. It used to be pinpoint accurate on when it would start and stop raining. Now, it doesn't even have a functioning radar map and predictions are wildly out of scale to actual weather forecasts. I used to really love this app too, it's a shame it doesn't work anymore.

The app has become more and more inaccurate. The widget (which is my fav thing to use) does not stay up to date. It is supposed to refresh and rarely does so. Lately even when I click on the widget to bring me to the app it doesn't do anything.

I've always used Arcus for weather, and it's always been really accurate. I'm sorry Apple purchased the weather source, I've never been a fan of them. Thank you for years of accurate weather forecasting!

Love this app. Clear, easy to read daily weather with wind speeds and direction, precipitation, temps, etc. The location based storm warnings are really important when planning/attending outdoor activities. Can you start using the Weather Channel APIs that are now owned by IBM instead of dark sky? I still like your user interface better then the Weather Channel's app. I'd even pay an annual fee for this app.

My favorite weather app, with the most simple yet detailed interface and the best short and long term forecasts. My favorite feature is 'Next Hour' forecast saying "Rain stopping in 14 min, starting again 6 minutes later." (Great for knowing when to get the groceries out of the car!) I'm really pissed Apple is cutting off Dark Sky but I'm more sad this app will end. Could you please consider adding a different weather source, or maybe make a Pro option where you could choose from a couple sources? I would happily pay again to continue using this app!!!

It's been three years since this weather app was updated yet it still works perfectly except for notification isn't shown at status bar and the map feature is useless. However, the temperature is spot on and the forecast prediction is just right. If you could fix those glitches, it'd be much appreciated! Thank you

About this app

Arcus will be shutting down in the near future.

The source of Arcus' data, Dark Sky, was recently purchased by Apple.

In their infinite wisdon, they've decided to shut down the API by end of 2021. I wont be waiting that long to stop paying Apple a penny of any earnings.

Disappointed by this terribly, but thank you to those who have supported me through the years.

It's been fun!
