RegenRadar

RegenRadar is a compact precipitation radar app that shows where and when it will rain so you can plan outdoor activities with confidence. The app displays a live rain radar for Germany, Austria and Switzerland, plus a radar animation that covers the last 90 minutes and the next 90 minutes.
