Is it accurate? Was thinking of using it to check for rain/lightning storms. The time lapse map looks very granular - I can zoom into the golf course location. Save me from getting rained out.

Using GPS, Dark Sky is able to create forecasts for your precise location, giving you minute-to-minute predictions for the next hour and detailed forecasts for the next day and week.

There are a bunch of other weather apps that use DarkSky within them. I have a few… one of which is my favorite weather app.

That's cuz they all have names like "* Weather" or "WeatherApp" or something. It's the top right one that I'm talking about, but I think WeatherLine uses DarkSky too, perhaps.

Why is it your favourite iacas? What puts it above the actual Dark Sky app for you? Currently my go to weather app is AccuWeather but I'm always open to better options.
