So sad, I use this app every day!
Just downloaded the new iOS weather app and it has all the features I use from Dark Sky. I even prefer the interface! For what it's worth, I often enjoy when Apple absorbs apps. I thought they did a fantastic job with Shortcuts.
In fact, sometimes, I've noticed that Dark Sky will accurately predict rain when Apple Weather doesn't. (I haven't ever noticed the reverse.)

I am a long-ago purchaser of Dark Sky. I find I never use it on my iPhone. Carrot Weather is always superior in both the forecast and Radar. Dark Sky's "it will rain in 5 minutes" was hit or miss. I live in the mountains, so perhaps, Dark Sky works well in a less difficult environment. That said, if it disappears tomorrow, I won't miss it.
Edit: disregard the source comment. It draws from multiple sources, like Foreca.

I used Dark Sky on iPhone until they redesigned the Weather app. Then the stock option became an immediate drop-in replacement. I wish the API remained open so others can use it but as far as the app itself, it was never really that good.
I'm currently using Geometric Weather + MyRadar:

I’ve used this app for years. I will have to check out the new iOS weather app. Honestly the Dark Sky rain predictions are usually wrong more often than not. I use it to monitor rain to keep my zoysia nice, but it has been disappointing me recently.
It must vary by location. Dark Sky is usually right on point for me. I was pissed when they cut off Android support. I eventually got over it and subscribed on my iPad so I could continue using it, because nothing else I've tried comes close.

Apple now offers a WeatherKit REST API https://developer.apple.com/documentation/weatherkitrestapi
