Leave a Review Rain Viewer
Apparently it’s always raining
I got this hoping it would be a more accurate predictor of rain starting and stopping than the apple weather app. When I first got it, my area was having lots of rain and it seemed pretty good. But I keep getting notifications of it raining about 1-5 times a day WHEN THERES NOT A CLOUD IN THE SKY. Maybe it just got lucky at first bc of the season I downloaded it in. Became so annoying I deleted it.Show lesspoint&click chick

Hi. Thanks so much for trying our app. In case you receive too many false notifications, then we kindly ask you to change the settings of the precipitation intensity to be notified about. You can do this in the Notifications - Rain Duration - Notification Accuracy - set to "Moderate". Let's see whether this help. RegardsDisappointed
I am in emergency management and need an accurate and trusted weather app on my phone. Unfortunately, this is not it. Even after paying for the premium service, it fell short.
The interface is nice and simple to navigate. The radar accurately shows where the precipitation is at, but at the wrong intensity and that is why this app doesn’t work for me.
The important part is the data and this is where this app fails. It is important to be able to see the intensity to properly plan for what’s coming, but this app is always showing intensity colors of yellow and red when in actuality it is a light rain. I even changed the minimum level from all to light rain, and I saw no difference. I e played with other settings and still no change.
I really wanted to like this app, but I can’t. It is not a good app if you are trying to coordinate severe weather response.Show lessChris Texas 600

Chris, hi. Thanks a lot for both trying our app and for such a detailed review. Chris, we kindly ask you to share with us your location (city, state) so that we could investigate your concerns regarding the data accuracy. Does the radar in your area works fine these days? How long have you been testing the app (how many days)? Your UUID would be of help as well (app settings - bottom page). Thank you so much for your cooperation. BestLost money!
I bought the full version for a month to try the application, and based on the experience of use, I subscribed for a full year. But there is a problem after payment, which is that the application is still the free version, and I cannot benefit from the paid features. I hope to solve the problem, !Show lessKASgr

I’m deleting this App . Sick and tired of all the interruptions and Ads . I don’t even get one full radar scan before the Ads arrive and the soft porn that arrived today was the last straw . Totally unsuitable . Lots of excellent free competition available .rockwoodhtc

This app was responsible for a horrific amount of battery drain that I've been tracking down for a while. It was responsible for 25% of my battery drain while running screen off! This is according to battery app from iOS. Deleted it and my battery now lasts a full day again.guilleshop

Past tense, I’ve already deleted the app. Location set to ALWAYS, but the app doesn’t update your location unless you manually tell it to. What use is this? #FAIL
Response to developer’s response: no, I’m 1000 miles away meanwhile, it does not give me precipitation notifications for the correct updated location. I’m getting notifications for somewhere else. This app is only relevant to someone who stays in one location.Show lesstinhead168

Hi. Sorry for any inconvenience. Thanks for pointing us the situation with the location detection on the map during each app entry. We understand how frustrating this may be and will try to improve the situation in future. This may take some time though. Meanwhile, one should receive precipitation notifications for the correct and updated location, anyway. RespectfullyConstantly wants you to buy premium even when you own it
I used to love this app. But lately they keep trying to get you to buy a v2 upgrade that doesn’t exist. Super annoying.oneDiscovery
It has potential
Needs dark map radar. Too bright.Jtaran
