Ratings and reviews

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.

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.
