Ratings and reviews

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.

Great app! Just 1 thing, can you please add radius option setting to the WearOS tile & complication as well? The widget on phone has the option to lower the radius up to 5 km, but I can't do this on the watch (premium user). So my phone widget and my watch tile & complication are showing different things. Please fix this and I'll bump the stars to 5. Thank you!

I still like what the app does, but the transition to a subscription model and the grandfathering could of been done better. I've followed the steps as mentioned but it doesn't recognize my legacy pro app. What features does a legacy pro user get? How does one know that Rain Alarm recognizes that you own the pro app. Does legacy app access include no ads? I understand why you moved to a sub model. It's not sustainable for a online service. You could of communicated this transition better.
