Since all weather apps, channels, and webpages source their information from the NOAA and try to "improve" it for their audience or fan base, I use this app which the developer keeps updated and sourced directly from the NOAA.
It's simple, informative, and once you dig in and click around, everything on NOAA is just a couple taps away. I love it!
I use NOAA Weather Unofficial on Android and have been really happy with it.
I'm using the paid version which I think is only a couple bucks, but is worth it imo
If you have an Android phone, the app below is everything you'd want from an official NWS app. It uses all NWS data. There is also a pro version for $2 that is well worth it to get rid of the ads. Not a sponsor, just a user that loves it.

I use NOAA Weather Unofficial. As far as I can tell NOAA doesn't actually have their own app, but this one uses NOAA's data. There's a free and paid version.
There is no official NOAA app. He was probably referring to this app - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nstudio.weatherhere.free
There's a pro version, totally worth it. Not sure if pro is required for notifications, I had pro before they added that feature.
This weather app literally takes the forecasts/information straight from the National Weather Service and makes it nice to see on your phone. You can look all this information up on weather.gov.
For me, this one uses the same weather station as WeatherBug and you can also select other nearby stations.
The linked one is free and there is a Pro version with no ads for $1.99.

In the Google Play store, it's NOAA Weather Unofficial by Granite Apps.
Edit: this one
Wx alert usa for ios and noaa weather for android better than those hacks on the TV. They couldn't get the direction of the sunrise correct.

I just saw that WX Alert USA stopped their app on March 21st of this year. That sucks. Prehaps Weather Underground, but also the NOAA mobile page. Anything that uses NOAA data.
NOAA Weather Accurate forcasts, hazardous weather warnings, and radar in one app. I've used it for years and it's frequently updated.
First of all, don't let stuff out of your control get you so worked up. Life's too short to be angry.
Try this for more accurate pinpoint forecasts: https://f1.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=40.68130359999998&lon=-111.9295368
If you're on android, this app skims the noaa information.
Radarscope is $10 but you get what you pay for.
I can't say enough about NOAA unofficial. It's free with a small ad banner, $1 to get rid of the ads. It takes data directly from NOAA and puts it into a user friendly interface. Everything I'd ever want in a weather app.
If you're on android, check out the NOAA weather app. Feeds info from the NOAA in a nice easy to read format.
(Also developed by one of my friends who lives in a van in Joe's Valley).
~~play.google.com is down at the moment, though.~~
If you're in the United States, I recommend "NOAA Weather Unofficial". I use the "Pro" version, which I've been using for years. It uses, as the app name implies, weather data from the NWS, etc. Try the free version, and if it gives you what you need, consider the "Pro" version. Links to both versions below. As you would expect, the "Pro" version has more features.

I've been using NOAA Weather Unofficial. It has ads but they're not obnoxious. There's a paid version I haven't got around to buying. ($1.99US)
I've tried out many of the weather apps. You have to find the ones that consistently provide an accurate forecast for your specific location. I've used NOAA Weather Unofficial for years. It utilizes data from the National Weather Service. I use the "Pro" version, which provides more features and customization. Try the free version to see how you like it, and if you want more features, etc, you can get the "Pro" version.

Good. Just keep and eye on the weather as the saying goes, "if you don't like the weather, wait 5 minutes and it will change"
I like the NOAA unofficial, NOAA unofficial
I've been using the paid Pro version of (NOAA Weather Unofficial), for years. Weather data comes from the National Weather Service. If you live in the United States, I highly recommend it. Try the free version, to see how you like it, and consider the Pro version, to get access to more features. The Pro version is a one-time cost, as there is no subscription required. I've tried many of the weather apps in the Play Store, but this app is still my primary app. A link to the app is below.

I live in the United States, and having been using NOAA Weather Unofficial (Pro) for years. The link below is for the free version, which you can try to see if you like it or not. If you do, you can consider using the Pro version. The app uses data from the National Weather Service. You can add locations by GPS, Zip Code, Latitude & Longitude, etc. Many features and customization.

This app gets the forecast from NOAA. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles. I use it everyday. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nstudio.weatherhere.free
They have a pro version as well.
I switched to NOAA Weather Unofficial by Granite Apps. It's definitely not as good as WU once was -- especially that small 3-day forecast widget with the temp and precip graphs which was amazing -- but it's good enough.
This is US-only, but I really like the NOAA forecast discussions. A key detail missing in most forecasts is the confidence level of the forecasters, and you can usually get a sense of that from the discussion. Although some locations are better than others when it comes to readability for a layman.
Here's a useful quote from my current local discussion:
Model confidence remains low over particular snowfall totals from this storm, but at the moment, locations above 6000 feet can expect between 3 to 8 inches of new snow.
You can get to them by clicking on a NOAA forecast and scrolling down to the "Forecast Discussion" link, or through some weather apps (I use this one).
I used to recommend Pykl3, but unfortunately they just shut that one down :( I am trying out Radarscope this year but don't have much experience with it; lots of people recommend it highly but it's a bit expensive ($10 to download, and $10 per year for high-resolution data). I've heard good things about NOAA Weather Unofficial but I've never tried it myself. This thread has a lot more opinions.
I'm sorry, but what is clear communication of weather data? The design? The data itself?
The design is okay but it's very far from a distinguishing feature.
It looks like you're getting the raw weather data from NOAA/NWS which is available to anyone and you said your sensor data is years away from making a difference.
Let's take for example NOAA Weather Unofficial. What would you say your advantage is to this app? It has a million installs, pretty basic but clear interface, uses NOAA/NWS data (shows exact same forecast as yours except updates every pull to refresh), and has a radar etc etc.
Edit: Also, you said Dark Sky doesn't deliver on its promises. Is this just how you feel because of anecdotal/personal experience or do you have some data? Because for me, if Dark Sky says it's going to start raining in 14 minutes and I can get home in 10, I'll make a run for it.
I use one called NOAA Weather. There's both an ad supported and a paid version. It's 3rd party, but pulls the information from NOAA. It's hugely customizable, frequently updated. One of my favorite apps.
For my phone, I am using an app called NOAA weather unofficial. Very lean but has exactly what I need including choosing what curves to include on the plot ... I like to add dew point. I linked the free add supported one but I use the paid one.
Weather straight from the government agency that ~~makes~~ predicts it.
http://weather.gov and if you use Android, NOAA Weather Unofficial
Isn't there just a plain old boring NOAA app?
I use this on Android.
One of my favorite apps NOAA Unofficial
You have Android? Try: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nstudio.weatherhere.free&hl=en
The NOAA is where everyone else gets their information, anyway.
I use this one. at about 7AM today, it already had a spike of rain predicted for 8PM.
And there are unofficial apps for that.
Sorry: comes up for me in the Google app store as "NOAA Weather Unofficial", link
And just search for NOAA or NWS in your app store and there will be plenty of mobile clients. I use this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nstudio.weatherhere.free
unofficial NOAA Had this snow predicted yesterday afternoon.
I use this on Android and like it, I'm sure there is something similar for iOS if that's what you use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nstudio.weatherhere.free&hl=en_US&gl=US
I use this app, which does have that. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nstudio.weatherhere.free
Also, the new radar works just fine in the app I use: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nstudio.weatherhere.free
I love "NOAA Weather" by Granite Apps. It pulls directly from NWS data, has great radar and hourly charts. Once in a blue moon it won't load b/c of issues with NOAA's api but overall it is great!
Free version (with a few adds)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nstudio.weatherhere.free&hl=en_US
Add free version for $2
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nstudio.weatherhere&hl=en_US
If you're in the USA, I recommend this one. It is free, but I use the paid Pro version.

NOAA Weather Unofficial. I finally found the weather app that really just had everything I'm looking for.
I use NOAA Unofficial. Works great, has a nice widget, and minimal notification icon (just the temp)
I like NOAA weather unofficial, though I wish they had an official app.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nstudio.weatherhere.free
I use the NOAA weather app on my phone. Same sources and graphics as your link.
NOAA Weather by Granite Apps is my go to weather app.
There's an android app for this - NOAA Weather
