Regenschirm: More Than Just a Rain App
Regenschirm, developed by Niels Lohmann, is a free iOS app delivering highly precise rain radar and weather warnings tailored primarily for users in Germany. The app is ad‑free, contains no tracking and requires no in‑app purchases or subscriptions.
Using data from the German Weather Service (DWD) and other public sources, Regenschirm predicts rain down to the minute for the next 60 minutes and offers detailed radar views. Recent updates expanded the app’s feature set to include wind maps, pollen counts, air quality (AQI), UV index, heat warnings, and soil moisture metrics that help highlight drought conditions.
Other features:
- Multi‑location support with quick switching
- Apple Watch support with complications
- Notifications for severe weather and minute‑precise rain warnings
- Privacy‑focused: no tracking
System requirements: iOS / iPadOS 18 or newer (per developer notes).
