Just the rain app I wanted! I do a lot of outdoor activities, so am always checking the radar on my phone as normal weather apps don't give you precisely when the heavens are going to open... This app is simple and does the job! You actually get some settings within the watch, and can save a few locations too which could be handy for me later... Uses GPS to find your location, showing your town with a graph... Depending when you want to be alerted with rain, this function is working well, have mine set to one hour, and it has been really spot on! I've bought the full version for little money just as a thank you and it's worth it... Cheers ;) Recommended *******

Hi Adam, thank you for your review! Yeah, alerts are still a work in progress. It's also announced as "beta". So they're not 100% reliable at the moment. Hope to improve this soon. Best regards, Wim

Hey guyssss I’ve been using this widget for a while because I’m constantly flying and moving a lot and the rain indicator is important to me. I decided to buy the full version, and I had some challenges. But the support and responsiveness of the developer was excellent. And he was in touch with me all the time up to solve my problem. Full version is cool

Hi Fabien! Oh that's not good indeed. Can you please try to reboot both phone and watch? Afterwards make sure to sync your watch in the Garmin Connect app on your phone before trying again. Please let me know if you need further assistance, I’m happy to help! You can easily reach me via the Contact Developer form. Best regards, Wim

Hi Jeff, you'll always need an internet connection to fetch new and recent forecast information. This is technically not possible with GPS alone I'm afraid. Best regards, Wim

Really useful app with accurate data. Use it all the time thanks. One small request. Is it possible to allow a swipe to close for watches with touch screen so it works the same as the built in widgets?

Developer Reply
October 20, 2022, VAW.BE

Hi Matt! Thank you for your kind review! Well, that would be really great indeed, but I'm afraid this is a bug in the Garmin firmware. Hope to see it fixed soon: https://forums.garmin.com/developer/connect-iq/i/bug-reports/epix-2-swipe-back-not-working-on-third-party-widgets

Een zeer veel gebruikte widget op dit moment. De herfst komt en dus nog meer gebruik. De plaatsnaam na Gps locatie update zou wat meer leesbaar mogen zijn. Ander kleur dan grijs of eventueel instelbaar naar eigen voorkeur?

Dag Evert, dankjewel voor je fijne review, blij dat de widget van pas komt! Ik gebruik hem zelf ook nog steeds dagelijks. Interessante feedback ook, ik neem het mee en bekijk of ik het kan integreren! Geniet van je dag! Wim

Used this for quite some time now. Excellent widget, works well and nice and simple. To make it even better though it would be good to change the period (and possibly the location) with just a tap of the screen, rather than going into the settings menu?

Developer Reply
September 12, 2022, VAW.BE

Hi Dave! Thank you for your review, glad you like the app! Well that's an interesting suggestion. I'll have to think about that as it needs to be a logical UI/UX in some way. I'll see what I can come up with. Have a great day! Wim

I would prefer if this widget updated it's data in the background as most others do. I dislike that I have to wait a few seconds to see the data in the widget.

Developer Reply
August 15, 2022, VAW.BE

Hi! Thank you for your review and suggestion. Well, I'm actually working on a system like that, but as an option for the premium version as this will increase my server load massively (+ drain your battery faster). But it's on my list :). Best regards, Wim
