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. 💯❤

I installed the app the day before a significant rain (we've had few of those occasions lately). It notified on my phone with both range and intensity for both my work and home. The yearly purchase was a no brainer. In winter, I'll take advantage of the feature that distinguishes rain from sleet/snow, etc. My vehicle has Android Automotive (AAOS) and I would not have installed or purchased unless it worked there also.
