I was literally going to purchase this today, but it just updated and is now subscription based so I changed my mind. It works well but aside from the notifications, it does not really do much more than a good weather app does in terms of radar. Being subscription based means that, over time, it will be a lot more expensive than it was. Pity.

Hi! We appreciate your interest in our app. So sorry to hear that you are not satisfied with the new payment plan. But you are still very welcome to use our free of charge options. Probably you'll find our app interesting enough to become a Premium someday. With deepest sympathy

This app has a lot going for it. About as up to date as you find, seems accurate location wise, a lot of custom setup choices, direction movement arrows, color choices, can move radar manually, etc. Its rain forecasting is rarely even close to making sense, but not including that in rating as not what I use it for. Thanks for a good radar app.

It's a good app, but the update to the server to see the rain, is sooooo slow... I thought I bought premium.. The update should be faster then. Make it faster, and I'll make a better review. UPDATE: Now the app warns for rain in my area, when it's clearly no rain in sight. Everyday. And also, when I click send feedback, why does it want to share my thoughts to others..? Very strange.
