How is it different from a normal weather forecast?+
A weather forecast describes the coming days in general terms; Rain Watchman watches what's in the sky right now and tells you what happens at your exact spot in the short term, with minute precision. It complements the forecast — it doesn't compete with it.
Does it really work?+
It monitors multiple meteorological data sources simultaneously, interprets them with academic methods + AI, and warns you before the rain starts, specific to your location. There's no 100% guarantee (no forecast can give one), but it's designed for one thing: taking action before you get wet.
Does it drain the battery?+
No — your location is checked roughly every 15 minutes in the background (not always-on GPS); the heavy radar/analysis work happens on the server, and notifications arrive ready-made. Battery usage is low.
What's the data source?+
Not a single source; live radar, satellite imagery and atmospheric signals are evaluated together. On top of that comes a layer of academically validated methods and AI interpretation.
Can I cancel?+
Yes — anytime via Google Play on Android or the App Store subscription settings on iPhone. If you cancel during the trial, you won't be charged.
Which devices does it work on?+
Android phones + Android Auto (car screen) and iOS + Apple CarPlay. You can get the app from the download page — leave your email and a 15-day free trial is yours too.
Why do you need my location?+
Alerts are produced specifically for your exact spot; that requires the coordinates of the point we watch. Location data is processed only to produce alerts — never sold, never used for ads. Details are in the Privacy Policy.
Does it work without internet?+
An internet connection is needed for notifications to reach you; since the analysis happens on the server, data usage is very low.
Does it report snow and hail too?+
The Watchman monitors all precipitation types; alerts are continuously being improved to cover precipitation type and intensity.
Can I use it for my company / team?+
Absolutely — the Pro plan watches 5 spots at once (site, warehouse, field…). For bigger needs, reach out via the contact page.
Does it work outside Türkiye?+
The app's weather forecasts, live radar & satellite, precipitation map and route weather features work everywhere in the world. The location-specific early rain alert (Rain Watchman) is currently active in Türkiye only — we're working on expanding coverage.
The Watchman is listening.
