Always accurate. And it's cool to use the direction finder to pinpoint which way the storm is coming from. Update: I love this app so much that I will click the ads so the developer will get credit. 😊

I'm guessing you updated & I used to view in night mode but not anymore so your app which I've used for about 6yrs is now useless to me & I'm going to look at replacing it asap. Very dissapointed. not even worth one star now.

Hi, nothing changed for the dark vs. light mode. The default is that the app adapts to the mode the device is in. You can change it in the app's settings menu, display, color scheme. More info: 📨 micha@rain-alarm.com

[Edited now intolerable ads with volume have been removed] Would be the perfect app for quickly seeing recent rain radar info, but sometimes you get full screen ads which act as an annoying time penalty.

Thanks for your message! We were testing another ad network and it seems their ads were very agressive and that was not our intention. I have just disabled that ad network and things should be better within an hour. Sorry for that. Ads are necessary to provide a free service, but that ad network obviously was more agressive than we anticipated.
