Apple takes over Dark Sky, Android version to shut down soon
By MYBRANDBOOK
The popular android weather app, Dark Sky has been taken over by Apple. The news has been announced on Dark Sky’s own blog.
As per the company, there will be “no changes” for users on iOS right now - but for Dark Sky users on Android, the forecast isn’t so good. The company will shutdown the service on Android in couple of months’ time.
From their post:
Android and Wear OS App:
The app will no longer be available for download. Service to existing users and subscribers will continue until July 1, 2020, at which point the app will be shut down. Subscribers who are still active at that time will receive a refund.
The company will also no longer accept new signups for its API, which allowed other developers to tap Dark Sky’s database of “weather forecasts and historical weather data“. The company is committing to running that API through the end of 2021, but it’s unclear what’ll happen to it after that.
Dark Sky found its following by being one of the first apps to focus on “hyperlocal” weather, with reports based on your precise location rather than a swooping approximation for an entire zip code. For places like San Francisco where the weather can vary wildly from neighborhood to neighborhood, that’s a must.
