The popular weather app Dark Sky has a new update rolling out that brings a much needed User Interface update along with a handful of new features.  The update is version 2.0 of the app and if you already have the app installed, you should have the update already or very soon.

The bulk of the changes in this update to Dark Sky are around the apps interfaces.  For example, there is no a unified forecast tab with the next 24 hour and week forecast.  You can also save up to six locations in the app to swipe between so they are always available to you.

The latest update to The Weather Channel app for Android brings a new forecast feature for those who like to run or walk.  The new GoRun forecast gives you current conditions as well as conditions later on in the day or the next day so you can plan your walk or run accordingly.  The forecast gives you a 1-10 scale with 10 being the best time to run based on the weather forecast that includes precipitation, humidity and air quality.  This new forecast is found by scrolling down to the bottom of the main forecast display on the app, just below the radar section.

Four years after making its debut on iOS, the hyperlocal weather app Dark Sky has finally made its way to Android.  The app has had rave reviews from iOS users for its notifications and super accurate local weather information that it provides to your exact location.  It is super impressive and the user interface is clean and simple in presenting the weather information to you.  What’s better, the Android app starts free and you can subscribe to the Premium version of the app for $2.99 per year if you want to do so.  iOS users pay $3.99 for the app.
