On March 31, 2020, Dark Sky Weather announced on its blog that Dark Sky was joining Apple. Dark Sky is currently ranked as the #1 weather app on the App Store.
Dark Sky Weather provides down-to-the-minute forecasts, “beautiful weather animations,” a time machine feature to explore weather in the past and future, and much more.
Our goal has always been to provide the world with the best weather information possible, to help as many people as we can stay dry and safe, and to do so in a way that respects your privacy.
There is no better place to accomplish these goals than at Apple. We’re thrilled to have the opportunity to reach far more people, with far more impact, than we ever could alone.
