### 4/5 — 有用的应用

*2019-04-07*

真酷！

### 4/5 — Need more information?

*2015-08-23, version 2.2*

I only wish it told me how many hours ahead it looks for deciding if you need an umbrella.

### 5/5 — interesting

*2015-05-31, version 2.2*

So simple the app but works so great

### 5/5 — Life saver

*2014-12-17*

I can't tell you the number of times this app to save me from the emergency five dollar umbrella purchase. Love the simple design and it does exactly what it needs to do.

### 5/5 — Perfect fit

*2014-04-14*

The app perfectly executes the simple task of notifying me if I need my umbrella every morning, without me having to open it up.

### 4/5 — Works

*2014-03-19*

App has improved or I have gotten better at using it.

### 4/5 — works well, but could be better

*2011-04-11*

It works quite well as a basic notifier as to if it'll rain on a given day. I wish the chance of rain % was customizable in terms of when to trigger a notification, but all in all I'm quite happy with the app.

### 5/5 — Love It

*2010-02-26*

I got this app on my iPod Touch and i really like it. Every morning i wake up and when i turn on my iPod i get the notification. 
I really reccomend this to everyone (expecially if you live in a place where it rains most of the days).

### 5/5 — Best umbrella app

*2009-12-14, version 0*

This app is the best because it also tells you the chance of rain, and amount. The other apps just have a yes or no.

Awesome app! Wouldn't change a thing!

### 1/5 — Subscription?

*2022-09-27*

I bought this app a couple years ago. And now they wanna charge for a subscription?

### 1/5 — False negatives

*2022-02-22*

There’s only one function I need from this app: tell me if I’ll need an umbrella. I am willing to accept false positives, not false negatives.

### 1/5 — Never alerted me

*2018-11-05*

This app never alerted me. It would rain on my head - that would alert me. Lol. The rain is more effective than this (cr)app. Lol

### 2/5 — Not working

*2023-11-16, version 5.1.1*

The app used to be working very well but a couple of months ago, it was not updating. Such a pity

### 2/5 — Nice concept but not accurate my area

*2018-10-09, version 3.0.3*

Really like the idea of a nice simple and easy to see rain indicator. Unfortunately the information provided by hour doesn’t reflect reality. It’s raining now not cloudy but not raining.

### 2/5 — No Big Deal

*2018-06-16*

For the features you want, you have to pay a subscription fee so this app is no big deal for the freebie

### 2/5 — Good idea but simply doesn't work

*2015-11-14, version 2.2*

Notifications are inconsistent.

### 2/5 — Good concept, but broken

*2011-05-14, version 1.3.1*

Umbrella is a neat little app and I've found it to be generally accurate. However it crashes whenever I try to change the settings. Have tried reinstalling and restarting all to no avail. This means I get woken by a notification at 7am whenever it's going to rain.

So, currently, I can't recommend the app. Hopefully an update will fix the crashing problem soon. Then I'd give it four stars at least.

### 3/5 — Wish I could adjust sensitivity

*2012-09-24*

The concept behind this app is great, however it is only really useful if the sensitivity is adjustable. There's been several days where the chance of rain is 14% and its telling me to take the umbrella. A small feature adjustment would make this app great.

### 3/5 — Simple and to the point

*2009-10-07*

Not a bad app. It's straight forward and let's you know whether or not u need an umbrella. It's not without its flaws. Having the temperature information a little larger would be nice as would paying attention to the forecast, not the current weather. My forecast for the evening was rain, but at the time I used the app it wasn't raining so it claimed I didn't needed an umbrella. Don't know if its a flaw but I was trying to use it late in the day and it doesn't pay attention to the evening forecast. I don't know. maybe a future update will fix this.

### 5/5 — Super useful

*2018-11-09, version 3.1.0*

This app has save me from getting soaked countless times.

### 5/5 — Lo máximo

*2018-11-04*

No falla en sus predicciones

### 5/5 — Retired LEO & SAR

*2018-08-29*

I begin using this app a couple of months ago and was quite surprised how accurate it was. Not only does it send you a notification to carry your umbrella (with a subscription) but it tells you the hours it’ll rain also. I can only see this app getting better and better as weather forecasting improves.
Where were you guys while I was working? Keep up the great job.

### 5/5 — Mr Jose Arroyo

*2018-06-22*

Great App helps out a lot

### 5/5 — Millimeters to inches

*2018-01-28*

Needs to have an option where you can choose millimeters or inches when measuring precipitation amounts.

### 5/5 — wonderful

*2017-07-20*

Exactly what I needed with no additional junk.

### 5/5 — The perfect one app

*2017-01-15, version 2.2*

It shows me exactly correct

### 5/5 — Simple yet perfect

*2016-05-26*

Need to know if will rain today or tomorrow. This app is perfect. Not cluttered with to much info. Plus can have it at specific time in morning send you notification on rain that day. Great app.

### 5/5 — Weather Simplicity.

*2015-09-14, version 2.2*

I love this app, it tells you the most important fact ... will it rain, do I need to take an umbrella or dress for rain. every mornig at a time of my choice it will send me a notification as to whether I need my umbrella. perfect.

### 5/5 — Simple. Effective. Dry.

*2015-09-11*

It does what it says it will, and nothing else.
