If you scroll all the way to bottom of apples Weather app, you can find a place to report issues and correct the weather for your location — like Dark Sky did.

I use the New Zealand Met Service app, it has more relevant info for NZ. Easier-to-interpret rain radar & 3-day prediction charts in particular.
I use ForeFlight. It’s an aviation weather app.
I usually use Siri on the phone, or Wonderground.
I use Apple’s weather app almost exclusively and especially on my Apple Watch as a complication on my usual watch face. I access it dozens of times a day and appreciate the scrolling interface where all this information is available without any more taps. I also love the graphics on the iPhone app.
I mostly use Weather Mate. I especially like the hourly predictions on iPhoneApple Watch and the large complication on the Apple Watch Infograph Modular watch face.
Weather can be difficult where I live so a good weather app is a real advantage for me. I use them several times a day. I like the improvements to Apple’s Weather App, but I use the Weather Underground App (Wunderground) because it uses local, amateur weather stations. I live in a fairly remote area, yet there is a local weather station only 2 miles away from me. Being able to rely on these amateur stations are a godsend for those of us in remote areas. Weather Underground’s local weather forecasts are as accurate as the others if not more so, while its measurements of temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction, rainfall, etc. are all localized to my area. The only area where it falls short is radar, and for that purpose I use the Storm Radar App. Unfortunately its radar timeline map no longer predicts/shows future precipitation, whereas some other Apps do. So I have a few others for that…
I actually use two weather apps: Apple Weather and Forecast Bar.
I use “The Weather Network”.
The temperature on Apple Weather is not very close. I have a weather station and use Weather Underground.
I usually check Apple’s Weather app first, but also check Storm Radar, which offers more information and a simulation/projection of precipitation and watch/warning boxes for potential severe weather.
Also use BBC Weather which is particularly useful for the UK.
I used to be Dark Sky (web-based) fan till acquired by Apple and didn’t use the Weather app on iOS when it was using Weather Channel data. After Dark Sky and Weather app started to appear on all platforms except AppleTV, I started using the Weather app more frequently. As for AppleTV I was using various till I found out Forecast Bar get data from Dark Sky and other weather service I forgot the name so I removed other apps and started using Forecast Bar (it needs optimizing so it will appear at the top at all the time) and switch data from DS to other weather services after Dark Sky’s API goes dark.
I primarily use “Wunderground” which gives hyper local weather forecasts.

I use the Apple Weather App. It’s about as good as the others and it doesn’t sell my information to third parties. It also works with Shortcuts, Apple Watch, and Widgets.
I’m sure other apps do too, but Apple Weather is already there, and much improved from earlier incarnations. Third party programs don’t add that much.

I’m in Australia, and I use a local app ( Oz Weather) which uses BOM (Bureau of Meteorology) data, and in my town, it’s measured at the airport, which is on the edge of town and a slightly higher elevation. It’s got forecast, and rain radar (from about 200km away). With the Apple Weather app, I’ve always wondered where they get the data from. Sometimes it matches the Oz Weather app, and sometimes, not. But on my watch, I’m stuck (I think) with the Apple app.
For several years, I have used Storm Radar (a great app that the Weather Channel didn’t ruin when they bought it). It provides all the necessary information for your location plus you can move it around to anywhere else you care to see.
Also, I use the Tempest app as I have one of their weather stations at my home. This provides very accurate data and you have a history for your location.
As a cyclist, runner, and hiker, I was a faithful Dark Sky user. Since Apple killed it, I tend to use Yr and the Weather app depending on my needs. I also support a local amateur meteorologist who posts a detailed forecast and discussion every morning (Dave Hayes, the Weather Nut). I miss that kind of forecast in almost every app.
Edited to add: when traveling abroad, I tend to also use the local government weather app – Met Office, Met Service, Météo-France, etc. Yr is the only one I use outside its country of origin.
I use Wunderground 99% of the time. I sometimes check MyRadar, and in the bird migrartion periods, I check Windy
I use the weather app tile on the leftmost screen of my iPhone for current temps and forecasts. For anything else I use a weather.gov bookmark set to my location in my browser of choice which continues to vary. From there I can easily go to NOAA’s universe of data.
