Accurate forecast app backed by relevant data sources.
BlueSkies provides real time weather data from around the Globe. What makes a difference between this and other weather apps are the sources which are being used. BlueSkies uses wide range of data sources (listed below) which are aggregated together to provide the most accurate forecast possible for a given location.
The Dark Sky Company, LLC is to be thanked for providing the API for weather conditions. This application simply uses it to display data on your Android device. BlueSkies is developed independently and for free. The Dark Sky Company provides 1000 forecast views per user account daily for free, therefore everyone should register their own account. This is to be done during the first use of application.
For registration you need an e-mail address and the whole process is done within app in a minute.
In case the app doesn't automatically recognize API key from registration page it is due to JavaScript issues and you should copy and paste the key manually(Settings->Change API Key). The registration page URL is:
