We developed this app because we live in one of the harshest corners of Iceland – in 2016 a storm literally blew the asphalt away from the main road in front of our farm. We use it every day, so we keep the app as usable as we can: a clean interface with all important information at a glance, and no ads or in-app purchases to unlock add-on features. Instead, a single low price will give you access to all future updates, for as long as the app exists.

This app requires internet access to receive updates of weather stations and road conditions. If you plan to use it on the road, we recommend either purchasing a pre-paid Icelandic SIM card making sure roaming charges are reasonable. The download volume is very small (a few tens of kilobytes per update), but still.

Weather and road information is provided "as is" from automatic stations and may contain measurement or transmission errors or out of date information. This app should be only one of many sources of information when making decisions about travel conditions and safety.

The app only requests background access to your location to detect and notify you if you are in the vicinity of weather stations that are reporting difficult or dangerous driving conditions. All processing is done locally on the device.
