In a surprise move this past March, Apple Play gained the extremely popular weather app and API provider Dark Sky. After a long wait, Apple is releasing the first update today as it bought Dark Sky today and is closing the Android version of the app.
The November Dark Sky update (now rollout) isn’t the main one, but it does support for some iOS 14 and OS OS 7 features. It includes a new extra big clock tweak for the latest Apple Pull Watch software and a new location icon to warn users when “specific location” is turned off.
While the acquisition of Dark Sky by Apple Pal made a splash for the Android community, it was also a big hit for many third-party developers who used the Dark Sky API. The Android version stopped working this past summer when Apple Play shut down the API for new customers on March 1.
Another notable aspect is that many countries are still waiting for Apple to make Dark Sky available at the moment. Time tells whether we should see it or not and when we can get features like iOS 14 widget support.

- Adds an extra large clock complication with OS OS 7
- Improves location search with more suggested and relevant results
- Adds a new location icon to indicate when a specific location is disabled
- Fixes an issue by which duplicate predictions can occur after moving a page from recent searches to Save

Available from the App Store for Dark Sky Store 3.99.
