## Description

Rain Alarm Live Weather Radar uses real-time NOAA Doppler radar data to alert you as precipitation approaches. It does not rely on probability forecasts; you’ll receive immediate push alerts as rain, snow, or ice heads toward your location, with an animated radar display.

Its full radar coverage spans all 50 states and 30+ countries, and the app shows exactly where the precipitation is coming from and when it will reach you. Ideal for commuting, outdoor activities, or planning a day outdoors, Rain Alarm keeps you prepared. For support, email rainalarm@avilessoftware.com.

## Review summary

Reviewers praise Rain Alarm for accurate, location-based precipitation alerts and useful updates, but complain about intrusive ads, pro license restoration problems, unreliable widgets on iPhone, data gaps in some areas, and nagging feedback prompts. Overall, strong accuracy and usefulness are tempered by UX and licensing irritants.

### Cons

- Intrusive ads and pop-ups disrupt usage, including ads after seconds and promo content.
- Pro features don’t restore on new devices; license transfer issues.
- Widget on iPhone often shows empty or limited functionality (different from Android).
- Data gaps/accuracy issues in certain areas (gray radar circles, no radar coverage).
