Incredibly useful and easy to read. Much more than the other weather apps. This has become indispensable to me as a motorcyclist, I can see exactly when a rain cloud is going to pass over so I can wait for a few minutes before leaving.

To many random alarms going off for rain that just passes by or in the area when it isn't even raining sometimes . I want the alarm for my exact location . Also like some have said the numbers are confusing an mean nothing . "Heavy or light rain" approaching etc would be more accurate and appropriate . Rather then scores or percentages. Widget needs a refresh button.

Regarding the alarms, for which city in which country is this happening exactly? There might be false positives detected by the weather service's radar and we should be able to filter this. Please see the help menu, notification for an introduction to the values. Thanks for your suggestions!

App works well and radar image seems very accurate. Alert is very reliable however I wish it would only alert me for rain moving at my location not in the vicinity of my location. Alerts for rain in a radius around me even if it is moving away from me. Correct this and would easily give it five stars. It is still a very reliable rain alert app.

The app will only warn, if rain is moving closer, never when it is moving away. But to be totally clear, rain that is moving closer could still pass by. Nevertheless our alarms are more reliable than traditional forecasts in our experience. Just give it a try for a few days and see how it works. More info: micha@rain-alarm.com
