## Description

Trying to avoid getting drenched? Buienradar - weer shows the rain radar and rain graph before you go out. It starts with a 3-hour or 24-hour forecast, and the radar image indicates whether rain is coming in the near future or the next day. The rain graph below lets you see exactly when and how much rain is predicted, and you can zoom in for a closer look with the magnifying glass.

In addition to rain, Buienradar offers many maps and data, like drizzle, sun, UV, pollen, wind, humidity, snow, air pressure and gusts. The Forecast tab provides a 14-day forecast with hour-by-hour and daily views, plus a Alerts feature to push rain notifications; the Android app includes a home widget and the Wear OS app shows radar, graph and forecast for the coming hour. Premium options, feedback via the in-app form or email, and continuous improvements round out the experience.

## Review summary

User feedback is mixed: the app provides current weather, near-term forecasts, and satellite imagery, but a large share of reviews report persistent issues with the widget, intrusive ads and premium prompts, inaccurate forecasts and location data, plus performance problems (slow loads and battery drain). Overall, it works for some users but stability and UX problems in recent versions drive dissatisfaction and uninstallations.
