Bang on thank you. Seems the app is very very different now to how it was when i used it... cant say I'm a fan.

How much is it to remove the adds on AccuWeather and i see there is quite a few bad reviews up for it/ Spomething about the last update ? is this correct ?Seems like Google is working on improving it weather forecasting
Shame its not that accurate and too far ahead. AccuWeather has more up to date and more detailed forecast

Anyone tried Overdrop?
I've just installed it and you can choose Dark sky as the weather provider.

What is the point. Darksky is going to ios and closing in android.

When I try to install 1weather it says it is not available in my country! I am assuming that you guys recommending it are in the UK?
Its £8.49 per year to remove ads, I've an adblocker installed so I can't see any ads.
I prefer this update over the previous as its made it more like DarkSky, more focus on the weather conditions over a 2 hour period. Accuracy does feel a bit hit and miss. Few times it forecasted as no rain when it's clearly is raining.

I am in the uk yes.
Unless I'm missing something you can't set up notifications to simply tell you when it's going to rain? I don't want a persistent notification and the only other option is for extreme weather
I find it really hard to read all the info too, it's just a mass of plain text on a background.. I think I will uninstall...

My understanding of the whole dark sky saga they can cut it anytime they want to. I for one would not invest in any app that uses the api with lets face it no future what so ever.

You do realise the above apps have more providers than just dark sky?
Today weather has about 10
Overdrop has 3
Hello weather has 5
AccuWeather us by far the most accurate I've found
I really like Hello Weather but it seems even on their paid version they don't do rain notifications. Same for Today Weather. Seriously, why is no one copying Dark Sky and doing this? It's like the one thing everyone wants for a weather app...

I think Appy Weather does that. In the paid version, but, if it's vital then it's worth it.
Dev is quite active too

Thanks I'll check it out. Tricky to have to pay for a premium/sub just to see if it works as I want.
