Description

Blue Skies brings the hyper-local forecast from the highly popular iPhone app, Dark Sky, to Windows 10 on your phone, tablet, or laptop.


Using the same information as Dark Sky, Blue Skies can tell you precisely if it will rain or snow in the next hour. Now you can know if it's a good idea to take that umbrella with you as you leave your house. Unlike the Dark Sky app, Blue Skies brings the weather to your home screen with a beautiful live tile.


Features: - Summary of next hour (Is not available for all locations) - Summary of next 24 hours - Hourly weather forecast - Daily weather forecast - Detailed weather information including: precipitation, humidity, wind speed, sunrise, and sunset - Displays severe weather warnings and advisories - App changes color according to the weather - Simple and easy to use - Responsive design works on any screen


Features with an in-app purchase (Buy once and it'll work with all your devices) - Live tile with small, medium, and wide tile sizes - Ability to choose the live tile info that's right for you - Choose the live tile update frequency to reduce battery consumption/data usage - Toast notifications for weather warnings

    This app works great, unlike some of the other weather apps in the store. The live tile updates and properly tracks my location as I am traveling in Europe. I hope it works as well when I get home to the USA!

    This app is alright. It's got a nice interface, but the live tile never updates for me. Today the app won't even open.

    Great design provides important information at a glance. This app definitely achieves that. I look forward to faster load times, but this is a great start.

    I paid for the extras but the live tile will not refresh now. Broken app.

    Beautiful app, great UX, and live tiles are exactly what you want to know at a glance. Radar maps could be better. WU map doesn't allow zooming/scrolling so is basically useless and the Open Weather map uses non-standard colors with no legend or map info. This is unfortunate, as you have to pay to even get the maps. Update: Rating lowered due to app no longer opening.

    Very clean and concise app. Works well with Windows phone 8.1 transparent tiles. Highly recommend!
