I used this app at work & really liked it. Most weather apps aren't very accurate in my area due to being in a valley between mountains. This app works in real time & simply does a great job at what it claims it does. I'm happy to find it again. The radar is easy to use & understand. It even has a weather forecast for upcoming days. It has a good bit of options to customize the search distance & intensity of rain that will trigger an alert. I only wish there was better widgets with a forecast.

GREAT app. As a convertible sports car owner in the scattered rain showers of the northeast it's indispensable. It's high accuracy and detailed info have saved me many times. The alarm even gets me up out of meetings to go close the top during what weather reports erroneously said was a rainless day. Info is easy to access in-app and especially with the at-a-glance widget. It works well all the time, does not require too frequent updates, and the ads are not intrusive on the version I have. 💯❤

Thanks dev! 🙂👍 / Uninstalling bc can't find way to pinpoint it closer to my location. So am getting rain alerts for areas all around in my general area, which don't at all pertain to where I'm located at any given time. In my mountainous region rain comes & goes, & 90% of the time when this says it's going to rain, it doesn't. And I greatly dislike that alert stays on screen for way more seconds than I need. Is constantly popping up & obstructing things, & I have to wait a lot. Nice idea tho.

First of all, you can change the pop-up notification to one w/o pop-up. Also, with the default settings alarms only appear max once per hour. Mountainous areas can produce more false positives, yes, but still better than having no alarm IMHO. With the subscription you can adapt the search radius and even search sector, which can help.
