Rain Alerts

★★★★★ Still the best and extremely accurate, hope that the developer will update soon. An extremely well-designed and thought out app, with so much customization available. Although the apps say “Available for Germany, British Isles and the Netherlands”, I contacted the extremely helpful developer, who advised me that Finland, where I live is covered, so if in doubt, make contact to check the areas covered, as it seems many parts of Europe are there. On opening the screen, it shows Netherlands, but go into settings, activate “track me”, together with your personal settings, you can then move the map wherever you want, perhaps until you find your home position, and zoom in / out to your preference, then look for “home screen” in settings and “set current view as home screen”, so now each time the app is opened, this becomes your default, which can easily be changed to suit. The beauty of this app, is that you can set, past radar AND future radar (up to 4 hours), which is great to see predicted rainfall (most rain radar apps end at current time!). Notifications can also be tailored to suit, as can so many other settings, I am very happy with the level of accuracy. Adverts are minimal, but the purchase price is very reasonable, so I decided to purchase straight away. There are some negative comments on Play Store, but these are probably from users outside the range of the app, or those who have not fully understood the settings or capability of the app. Would certainly recommend, don’t forget the on-screen widget.

★★☆☆☆ Misleading crap Seems like a UK-only app, does nothing for the USA, etc. This should be displayed upfront. Also, very spammy. Wasted my time.

★★☆☆☆ The app was good for a short while but soon developed a fault. On opening, a message now always appears saying "An error occurred on downloading. Try again." Try again makes no difference

★★☆☆☆ Another European app works horribly in the USA. This is not the app to get if you're looking for a Dark Sky replacement.
