I've never seen an inaccurate weather app.

To be more precise I've never seen one app say one thing and a different one say something else

The iOS built-in weather app is super weird, showing significant differences for neighboring zipcodes, and sometimes differences for the same zipcode between two devices.

What does it show as the forecast for now? I'll compare it to what my phone says

https://9to5mac.com/2021/06/10/dark-sky-apple-acquisition-shutdown-date/amp/
so what does that mean for me? will my app just disappear in a couple months? will all the features be intergrated in the iphone weather app? whats the deal? the article didnt really explain

ETA: https://appleinsider.com/articles/21/07/26/how-to-use-the-new-weather-app-in-ios-15

dark sky is the best app and sounds like it will be integrated with the new weather app in IOS 15

Wewow is the best app for Android. You can set various sources including Darksky.

I find the biggest difference between Apple and AccuWeather is how they display inclement weather. If I'm not mistaken, Apple will show rain on the whole day even if it's only supposed to rain for 15 minutes.

Not really an accuracy thing, but it's a pet peeve in the way they display it.

What's the advantage? Any ads?

the apple app will show hourly rain forecast for today , and for future days will give a percent chance of rain. you arent able to check hours in future days, but in dark sky u cud open future days and see hourly forecasts. can accuweather do this too?
