2★Radar rarely works correctly. Time laps lags like crazy. I constantly have to use another free app to look at the radar. We'll, no use paying a fee if I'm always on the free app! I love the layout because I was a old darksky android user and it much like that, but I'm tired of paying for something that doesn't work. Been like the for over a year now.

5★Finally!! I'd been looking for a decent weather app after Weather Underground went to pot and Dark Sky went turncoat. :P AccuWeather used over 300 MB of data in 2 weeks, which was just absurd to me. Then they changed their interface. Then I read that a while back they had sold user's location data, and I had enough. I appreciate the simple but clear interface. Reminds me of dark sky. Best of all the popular weather apps I tried by far.

4★I installed this app as a replacement for the Dark Sky weather app. I am using the free version. I have found that shadow weather is easy to use and works consistently. I don't use any advanced features; I just look up the weather in my area for the week. It's usually fairly accurate. I don't expect any weather forecast to be completely accurate. One feature I would like to see would be a forecast for hikers at the top of tall mountains. The weather usually much different up there.

3★It has definitely fallen off. For at least two weeks now, i've just had a zero as the temperature at my notification bar says null. There's no update or any way to fix it clearing the cache does not work. I only use weather apps that will put the temperature in the top bar of my phone, So if this can't do that anymore i'm going to have to get something else.

4★Like many others, I'm looking for a replacement for Dark Sky. As far as UI, this one is similar enough for my liking. It is simple to read, not full of stats I'll never care about, and seems to be accurate. I prefer to buy premium apps instead of subscription, but I understand the reasons. That said, I'll likely subscribe since I won't miss 5 bucks a year and I think it's worth it. Sadly, I have a feeling that the Dark Sky API won't stay for much longer. A tear rolled down my cheek...
