The organization reported on Wednesday in an update on its site that it strategies to retain the Android model heading until August 1st, right after initially announcing it would shut it down now, on July 1st. Presumably, the Put on OS model is continue to performing as properly, but we have been not able to verify that. Each apps seem to have been eliminated from the Engage in Retail store, even so, so you have to have to have the app downloaded or have downloaded it at least the moment in the previous to be able to continue on using it for another month, in accordance to 9to5Google.

On August 1st, all existing subscribers to Darkish Sky’s Android version will acquire a complete refund — Dark Sky has charged Android users $2.99 a calendar year for obtain to the services, while the iOS edition included just a $3.99 one-time order.
