I use it for the reward points. After a year of searching or so, I usually have enough points to get a $50 XBOX gift card for my kids to use. If I can't find something using Bing, I'll switch to Google but I can usually find what I need using Bing.

Dark Sky really was the best. While I wish the native iOS Weather app was much better (the way the radar/map is presented seems a decade behind where Dark Sky left off, for instance), I've also found that every other third-party app I've tried out has been even worse. Hopefully something new comes along that isn't immediately snapped up by a bigger company.

Same there is no weather app that comes close. It's a damn shame that Apple bought them out. Their own weather app is horrible and nowhere near as user-friendly as the dark sky app.

There is no current option on Android or iPhone, even on the web, that provides quick up-to-date and accurate weather like they did.

So perfect, so beautiful, and it had everything you needed with appropriate notifications when you wanted them.
