About this app
Rain Alarm warns you when rain or snow is approaching your location using push notifications. Instead of relying on probability forecasts, we use real-time radar data to alert you as soon as precipitation heads your way. The app displays and animates the latest Doppler radar images, letting you see exactly where the rain is coming from and when it will reach you. Full radar coverage across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, powered by Met Office data. Also available in over 30 countries, including Ireland, France, Germany, the Netherlands and many more. Whether you're commuting, walking the dog, at the match, on a hike, or working outdoors — Rain Alarm makes sure you're never caught in the rain. For help, suggestions or complaints: rainalarm@avilessoftware.com.
App details
What you can learn from Rain Alarm
Every shipping app on the App Store has gone through the same decisions you're working through right now: which screenshot goes first, what caption sits over it, which device frame to show, what color the background should be. The 4 screenshots above are Rain Alarm's answers to those questions — they're public, they're real, and they made it through Apple's review.
Notice the first screenshot in particular. It's the one users see in search results and on the product page, and it's where most apps spend their best caption and tightest design. Look at the proportion of background to phone, where the text sits, what one thing the image is trying to communicate.
