Dark Sky mercifully gives Android users 1 more month until shutdown

Dark Sky has been sold to Apple, there’s no changing that.

However, Android users of the service will have one more month — until August 1 — before Dark Sky is gone. 

“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 wrote on its blog. 

Previously, the service was scheduled to shut down on July 1. 

Note that the Dark Sky API will remain active until the end of 2021, though it’s not accepting new users.

Dark Sky on iOS, however, isn’t disappearing. You can still buy it in the App Store for $3.99.
