Hi,
Oh I don't dispute that the search gives more than one result. I was merely
saying that at least in the US store searching exactly as you describe turns
up only one app exactly named "Dark Sky" which is the weather app in
question.
In the interest of being a good citizen here is its link at the US store.
Hopefully this might lend some clarity for those needing it.

Seems to depend on the type of search that one does. If you press search
at the bottom of the screen, you'll get more results (in my country's
App Store 82 results for Dark Sky: These include games, etc.)

Hi,
With all due respect I just did a search for "dark sky" without the
quotes
in the US iOS app store and only see one entry I believe it is $3.99 not
sure to which other app you're referring.

Which dark sky are you referring to? The $3:99 or the $2:99?

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.

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
