I weep for the death of this app.
A ridiculous decision by Apple.
Their own app doesn’t come close. Doesn’t even have the same weather forecast, let alone the interface being terrible (although admittedly a lot prettier than Dark Sky - way less functional).
Although one thing. I’m hoping it might stay on until April now? I get this new message in place of the old “we will needlessly kill this brilliant app on 31 December”: https://i.imgur.com/T0djYOK.jpg
“More info” goes to this page https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT213526

I was wondering the same. Hopefully they keep it active longer.

Fingers crossed. Interesting to note the conciliatory tone of the new message. I should imagine the feedback from Dark Sky users has been overwhelmingly negative given how appalling the replacement is.

I’ve given carrot a try, apple weather, and others. Just leave me and my dark sky alone!

The Dark Sky API will remain available through the end of March, so services like Carrot Weather that use it for their weather data can continue using the data until then, then they will have to switch to Apple WeatherKit or find another provider.
The Dark Sky app should die tonight.
