Rainspotting - Rain Outlook 1.6.2

Personal Precipitation Prediction for Your Pocket

This innovative application addresses common concerns regarding precipitation:

• Should I hang my laundry outside, or wait for those clouds to clear?
• Is it wise to carry an umbrella on my walk? Will I reach home without getting wet?
• Am I able to commence that painting project today?
• Is today a suitable day for laying concrete, or should I anticipate rain?
• Can I pick up the children from school without encountering rain on the return trip?
• When is the appropriate time to switch to wet tires?
• Should I remain indoors until the rain ceases, or is it likely to persist?
• Will the approaching rain affect my route, or is it moving away?
• Should I continue playing the back nine, or head directly to the nineteenth hole?

Rainspotting effectively assists users in addressing these inquiries.

Functionality

The application provides real-time updates on rain approaching your chosen location, including its direction, expected start time, and anticipated duration. For those seeking more detailed insights, users can examine the intensity profile of incoming rain events. Additionally, notification alerts can be configured for approaching rain (an upgrade may be required).

Coverage

Rainspotting offers extensive coverage across Australia, the USA, Puerto Rico, and Guam.

Accuracy

The accuracy of Rainspotting is commendable; however, it is important to acknowledge that weather conditions can be unpredictable. User feedback plays a significant role in enhancing accuracy. The application should not be solely depended upon for critical decisions, particularly in scenarios where unexpected weather could lead to substantial consequences.

Settings

The application provides customizable settings allowing users to adjust the distance for detecting nearby rain, select units for approaching rain speed, and choose color schemes consistent with local meteorological services.

Requirements

Rainspotting necessitates an active Internet connection and utilizes device location services when enabled. Please note that prolonged use of GPS in the background may significantly impact battery life. The application is supported by advertisements; however, users have the option to remove ads and access additional features through an in-app upgrade.

Privacy

The application employs secure servers for data processing, which conserves device battery life while enhancing service effectiveness. Location details may be sent for processing and can be used to optimize ad relevancy.
