Hi,
Speaking from the perspective of running with many weather apps as each has
different features which I happen to like. for instance some do severe
weather alerts better than do others via push notification as one example.
where the Dark Sky app excels is the ability to send a push notification
alerting you to precipitation which is soon to start falling. It is also
quite specific about the type I.E. Drizzle, light rain, and such. This will
be my first Winter with it so I'm assuming it'd alert for the more frozen
variety's of precipitation as well but haven't yet experienced it myself.
I've found it to be quite accurate in these alerts. If the alert doesn't
coincide exactly with the start of the precipitation it usually commences
within 20 minutes.
I found out about this app from a guide dog user who found it an invaluable
resource for getting in that last walk before bad weather started. I myself
am not amongst their numbers but still do appreciate the alerting
capabilities it offers.
I've never known the native weather app to provide push notifications of any
weather related events which is why I have so many others along with it.
I've no affiliation other than being a happy purchaser and user of the app.
I hope that helps.
Robin

Subject: Dark Sky verses native Weather app
Greetings. For those that use the Dark Sky weather app, what do you
like about it over the native Weather app in iOS 8? I am considering
getting this app and am curious what other people think?
Best,
Wayne
