The blog post does a good job of enumerating the nice interfaces in Dark Sky. But it spends no time comparing them to the equivalents in Weather app. If it did, then the parity of features would become clear, not only in terms of information presented but also user interface.

Also, FWIW this post is from 2023, and the Weather app has improved significantly since then.

For example, the post references a Reddit comment complaining about the lack of a precipitation map:

> there anything that has the precipitation graph similar to dark sky

This is available in Weather app. You can see the hourly graph, and you can also see the map with precipitation overlay.

The notification feature you ask for is also supported.

I repeat my original question: can anyone actually name a feature from DarkSky that isn’t present in the current Weather app?
