The fact that Apple has acquired Dark Sky and removed it from the Google Play Store, apart from pissing off some, has also made other renowned apps move to bring that precision in the weather forecast to their application. We talk about the known AccuWeather that, apart from redesigning its interface and experience, you now have accurate weather forecasts.
For those who do not know why Dark Sky has left a big hole in the Play Store, it is because it has a very accurate weather forecast locally. That is, it gives forecasts according to where we are located and we can assure you that this experience when you get used to it, is almost indispensable for many.
Ad-Infested AccuWeather
Not in the previous version that It looked like an app almost out of the last century And not even with that new version that brings a modern interface, AccuWeather is going to change when it comes to advertising. And this he does to force us to pay the more than 9 euros that his annual subscription costs.
But we have to understand that it is worth it according to the experience it brings, since right now it can be said that it is the app for the local weather forecast to replace the ill-fated Dark Sky; there Apple becoming colleagues, then they ask why some of us did not go to their devices.
The previous version
And is that will be on August 1 when Dark Sky It is no longer in the Play Store, so AccuWeather becomes the app that is in charge of replacing it. Well, they have been in a hurry to give a real alternative by updating with a great improvement in the design and giving that obligatory function to cradle thousands of users who will look for alternatives.
A revamped interface with a big "sun" in the middle of AccuWeather
AccuWeather has updated completely renovating the design. He has placed a sun in the entire center in which each "ray" represents each of the minutes of the hour. This is how it will show us the forecast by time. That is, it will make us see visually when it will start to rain, when it will be sunny, snow ...
A curious way of understand the weather forecast display so that we can visually get a quick idea of the day; by the way if you are looking for a simple and very visual weather app, don't miss this call AniWeather. This wheel will reflect the weather forecast for the next hour, although clicking on it allows us to see it for the next two.
What can be missed compared to Dark Sky is the lack of related notifications with changes in temperature, time and more. That is to say, that the app warns us by means of a Dark Sky notification or as Google does that warns us that tomorrow it will be 4 degrees higher. This is an interesting option that when you do it, the sea is good in case a storm falls or another change of weather is expected.
The substitute for now
At any rate AccuWeather has stated that it will bring this feature to its app in an upcoming update, so we could say that, although it has a lot of publicity, it can become the perfect replacement for the one mentioned above.
Another novelty of the update received a day ago is the incorporation of the dark theme so that it is activated according to the system. So we have a renewed app that has managed to arrive at the right time so that those lost can once again have a decent app with which to know the weather forecast locally.
AccuWeather is duly updated for you to give it a try And understand that although it has a lot of publicity, it is well worth it for such an accurate forecast.
