What weather App or Apps are you using for localized weather and how good area?
I've been using the standard weather app that comes free with my iPhone. I've also tried AccuWeather and WeatherBug. But all have disappointed as they seem to be based on the same national forecast data and the same region's forecast. So really all just are pretty generic.
I'm trying DarkSky, which is a $4 cost, but people swear it is more accurate for local forecasts, and which allows users to actually submit location based instant weather conditions. Apparently it is the user submissions that are supposed to make this weather app more accurate. And user reviews rate is as the top app. But in sparsely populated areas I'm not sure it will actually have enough submissions to make the "hyper local" claim worthy of being much more accurate than any of the big name weather apps.
Thoughts?
