I installed the app the day before a significant rain (we've had few of those occasions lately). It notified on my phone with both range and intensity for both my work and home. The yearly purchase was a no brainer. In winter, I'll take advantage of the feature that distinguishes rain from sleet/snow, etc. My vehicle has Android Automotive (AAOS) and I would not have installed or purchased unless it worked there also.

Very useful rain map that's worth subscribing to. now includes extra over the Atlantic coverage. Looking forward to an update which shows the picture on Android Auto.

I like it. The alarm gives you a heads up to check the radar maps, and it's these that are the best, enabling you to see how the rain is tracking around you. The app doesn't take much space and runs happily in the background without draining battery power; the cache builds up but it's easily cleared. Simple, clear, and invaluable. The only puzzle is the 'splay shadow' on the location spot - not sure what it means, as it swings around wildly when I tilt my phone!

Thank you for the kind words! Regarding the shadow, it shows the cardinal direction the top of your phone is pointing to. It is almost like a compass and exactly like in Google Maps.
