I like the app as a broad idea, but it isn’t completely accurate. We have had 3.9 inches of rain (verified by 2 different styles of rain gauges) in the last 24 hours but the app is only reporting 3.3 inches. My parents had 0.7 inches the other night but the app only registered 0.2 inches. I like that you can pinpoint locations on the map to watch though.

Thanks for your feedback! We aim to provide precise and accurate estimates, but slight differences can occur due to averaging rainfall over a 1x1 km area. We're constantly improving our estimates every day. If you'd like to learn more about our data and understand why our readings may sometimes differ from a physical gauge, feel free to email me at rylan@raindrop.farm.My husband’s Rain Drop app consistently reports higher readings than mine. We live in the same house! Today, for example, my outside rain gauge has 2.1”. Husband’s app says 2” and mine says 1.2”. That’s a huge difference!
Up to date rain accumulation and seems very accurate. Wundermap app just kept getting worse and worse, although the website is fine. This was quick and easy, no frills, just rainfall totals, perfect.

Thanks for the awesome feedback! We're happy to hear you're finding our app accurate and easy to use. No frills, just straightforward rainfall totals—perfect!I’m a new user but I have to say “ why didn’t I find this years ago! Keeping track of rain at my farm that’s 4 hrs away. Appears to be spot on
This app is very accurate and easy to setup and use. I measured 2 5/8” in my rain gauge and the app was showing 2.5” son about an 1/8” difference and that’s close enough for me. I do recommend this app!!
Was pleasantly surprised at how well this app worked. Fairly accurate within a tenth of my rain gauge’s around the farm. Definitely worth getting!

Awesome!We use this to monitor rainfall on our property which is 2 hours away. It saves us driving there only to get our RV stuck in mud!

I'm glad to hear the app is helping you avoid unnecessary trips and keeping your RV safe! I tried to look to see how much more rain we got today and it says zero. Well that’s not accurate since I was outside IN THE RAIN today. It also says no rain yesterday and claims 1.6 inches so far for April. According to other outlets we had over 3 inches of rain by April 3rd. It was all over the news and my basement has water. Clearly not a very good record. I would never waste my money to upgrade. This app is not even close!

Hmm definitely doesn't sound like our app. Email me at rylan@raindrop.farm and we will fix whatever issue you ran into.We love the app for it’s accuracy! In the Storm Water Compliance industry, it’s very vital to know what rain amounts are happening on all of our sites, and this app delivers! It’s off from time to time (not much), but that’s pretty good figuring we have hundreds of sites! We still use our standard rain gauges, but this app is helpful in determining what sites we should focus on and what we can put on the back-burner. It’s been very nice to have an assistant keeping track of it all!
