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.

Check what their source is: surely, they don't compute the forecast themselves.

The data is public and comes from NOAA but they are doing their own forecasting.

Here is a blog post from one of the devs about their process (2011): http://jackadam.github.io/2011/how-dark-sky-works/

They do. That was the selling point.
