Dark Sky has been hailed
as one of the best weather apps for the iPhone thanks to its scarily
accurate predictions. Today, the app is getting a complete redesign and a
bunch of new features that make it more than just a way to see if it is
going to rain in the next hour.

The original Dark Sky app was the product of a Kickstarter campaign
and was fairly limited. It offered very accurate weather predictions
and pinpoint location accuracy, but it didn't provide any information
for what might happen beyond the next hour. The developers eventually
released a service and accompanying web app called Forecast.io
to fill in the gaps of the native Dark Sky app. But web apps aren't
great replacements for native apps, so the developers spent two years
working to bring the functionality of Forecast.io to the native app.
