Features: - Current weather - Hourly forecasts for 48h / 3h forecasts for 5 days - 8 day forecast - Precipitation in next 60min - Rain radar - Radius search - Widget with optional GPS auto position update - No advertisement Minimum permissions: RadarWeather only requires the minimum amount of permission, namely only the INTERNET permission.
