Hi all,
Well folks, just doing the week in review, and Kim Komando has her 
column for the 10th of September, and it is titled 5 apps that do more. 
The first app, is absolutely awesome!
Here's the info about Dark Sky!

Weather where you are standing
There is certainly no shortage of weather apps. Most apps provide 
overall information about the day’s high and low temperature and the 
chance of precipitation. The app Dark Sky is different. Sure, it 
provides detailed weather information. Where the app shines though is 
when it predicts rain or snow, down to the minute, at your exact 
location. The app uses your phone’s GPS and it works exceptionally well
While in Maui recently, I was packing for a hike when Dark Sky sent a 
notification to my phone that it would rain in 16 minutes. I didn’t 
believe it. Sure enough, in 16 minutes dark clouds covered the sun, and 
a light drizzle started.
The app has a slew of built-in notification options for rain, snow and 
government severe weather alerts. You can set your own notifications, 
such as if it’ll be too cold at night for the plants in your garden. 
Dark Sky also offers weather maps and simulations.
While the iOS app is $3.99, Android Dark Sky is a free download. To get 
the local minute-by-minute forecasts, fancy notifications, and widgets, 
you have to subscribe to Android Dark Sky Premium. It’s $2.99 per year.
