Apple-Owned Dark Sky Weather App Extends Android Shutdown Deadline to August 1

Apple-Owned Dark Sky Weather App Extends Android Shutdown Deadline to August 1

Apple bought popular weather app Dark Sky back in March, and at the time it was announced that the Dark Sky for Android app would be discontinued as of July 1, 2020. That deadline has been extended for a month.

Dark Sky’s developers on Wednesday announced that the shutdown of the Android app will be delayed until August 1, 2020.

Update: Service to existing users and subscribers of the Android app will now continue until August 1, 2020, at which point the app will be shut down. Subscribers who are active at that time will receive a full refund. Weather forecasts, maps, and embeds available on the Dark Sky website will also shut down on August 1, 2020.

Dark Sky will also shut down the weather forecasts, maps, and embeds available on its website on August 1. While the Dark Sky API will continue to function through the end of 2021, no new API signups are being accepted.
