## Description

Weather Radar Widget brings a live rain radar to iPhone and iPad. Add small or large widgets to your Home Screen or Lock Screen, and view the radar inside the app. The radar updates every 10 minutes for current conditions.

New in iOS 17: refresh widgets with a button to keep data up to date. Privacy-first design means location is not used by default and is only approximate when you enable Current Location; no data is shared or saved on our servers.
