Dark Sky weather app for iPhone

If you haven't looked at this particular weather app, I highly recommend it.  It was so popular in the Apple iTunes App Store that I hear that Apple had purchased the company that did the app and thus now "owns the app".  So I don't know if Android users have access or not.

I paid $5 for the app, but I thought Apple was going to make it free after they purchased it.  Maybe not.

Anyway, it is very specific, gives you weather expectations at the exact location where you are standing, and hour by hour predictions of temperature, rain, and wind in that spot.  It also has easy to change parameters, such as "feels like"  temperature, instead of just "the temperature".  It also has excellent forward forecasting, also hour by hour.  Very useful if you are planning an outdoor event at a specific time of day.  It would be nice to know the percent chance of precipitation or the temperature at that hour.

Enjoy.
