The internet did not hold back in reacting to yesterdays news that Apple acquired Dark Sky.
It’s become a bit of a cliche to hate Apple — especially if you’re an Android user. And this acquisition was yet another reason for many people to criticize the tech giant. With the acquisition, Apple is shutting down the weather app’s API and eliminating the Android app.
Here are some of the top reactions from journalists and thought leaders on Twitter regarding the Dark Sky news:

#Weather #Meteorology | #Apple snatches up #DarkSky, arguably the best, trusted #weather #forecast #app. Bye-bye #Android and #Wear versions. Hello to a new way for Apple to scrape up your location and other data. Disappointing! pic.twitter.com/CzXeC2gbJl
