Weather app Dark Sky on Android is no more

If you're an Android user and a fan of the highly localized weather app Dark Sky, we have bad news for you. You may or may not have heard that Apple acquired the company back in March. And now, Apple has shut down its Android and Wear OS apps as promised. The company extended Dark Sky's availability on Android for an extra month, after initial plans of shuttering it on July 1. Those with subscriptions should be cancelled already, and the developers promise a "full refund" to its Android subscribers. 

The website is still live, but we don't know how long that will be. But embedded material doesn't seem to be an option anymore. Any third-party apps that use Dark Sky's data have until the end of 2021 to transition to other services.
