Sora Beware is an app that works with an iBeacon device placed in a specific location such as the front door and automatically notifies you of rain forecasts just by going to that location. By setting notifications in advance, you can receive information by voice or vibration without unlocking the iPhone or performing any special operations.

iBeacon is a location-based service function that has been installed as standard since iOS 7. As a precaution, you can use a commercially available iBeacon device, but a dedicated device "Sora Beacon" optimized for the app is also sold for 3,800 yen.
