Rain Alarm

Fri, 25 Dec 2009 13:06:53 +0000

This weather app and widget are able to warn you against precipitation (like rain or snow) by a silent alarm. You can watch what is coming by the up-to-date radar animation. Even more convenient, the supplied widgets can help you monitor the precipitation situation without any alarms.

Useful assistant for everything outdoors like cycling, biking or hiking.

For the latest news follow us on Twitter: @rainalarm
