The stats are easy to understand and allow you to input your local area data. The Weather Service has no stations in our area, therefore it is not always the most accurate, so I purchased a simple rain gauge to update our totals.
I’m not sure how it does so, but this app vastly under reports the amount of rain that I receive. All other sources say that we recently got over 2 inches of rain yet this app is claiming I only got .4 inches. Accuracy is the only job this app has, and it doesn’t do it.
Paid for this app a bit ago. Got our first real rain today in almost a year… 1.06”! This app said .60” which is no where near amount received. Tried to cancel app and it won’t cancel for a year! NOT ACCURATE AT ALL!!!!
I’ve been using Rain Tally for years. It’s perfect for those who still want a green lawn, but to maximize natural water and supplement with irrigation.
Just what I was looking for. If you’re trying to recall on what date something happened, but all you can recall about it is that it was throwing it down with rain, Rain Tally will help you pin it down. There’s a thousand and one other helpful uses for the App, but that one saved my bacon. Thanks Rain Tally - I’m hooked.

Great app to track rain totals. Love the option to override nws data with rain guard data when necessary
Not worth the money!
Nice app we have our house and farm we go to on the weekends. It’s nice to plan what I need to do pending last weeks rain and the upcoming week’s forecast 😀
The data from this app is not even close. We had well over an inch of rain at one of my locations and this app only registered 0.1 inches. Has proved to be consistently wrong.
Weekly
App works great, I can see my rain fall totals for my location which is surprisingly hard to find. Highly recommend this app!
A great app. Been looking for something like this for a long time. So far, it seems to be quite accurate also.
I can count on this app to let me know if I need to water my garden or wait and let the rain do it!
As a weather nerd with a number of weather apps, it’s been frustrating trying to figure out rain totals—some weather apps have some info but nothing like Rain Tally. When rain is in the forecast, this is my go to app—love it.
God country
Rain Tally is a great App, pretty accurate on your location’s totals & upcoming forecast. It’s straight forward, easy to use, well laid out and provides good information 📅🌧️📊👍
The app seems ok but there is no place to. report snowfall that I can find. zIt seems to be rain only.
Fantastic to be able to look back over the last number of days rainfall and see how much rain actually fell to see if I need to water my garden or not . Love this
I am only using the free version but I am seriously considering upgrading to the + version because this app is so cool. I was surprised how quickly the rain amounts update….its almost real time, don’t have to wait like 24 hours later to see how much it rained. AND I can choose a specific area to monitor, not just my current location. We are in the middle of a severe drought and I have an Airbnb that’s about 20 miles away in a different county. This property has multiple streams in the back yard but when we are in a drought they do not flow well or flow at all. So I like to be able to monitor the rain that falls there since it can vary so drastically from where I actually live. This app is very simple to understand and has, not only values of rain that actually fell, but also predicted rain amounts for the next 2 days. I definitely recommend this app…. I tried another one that was supposed to do the same thing but it was so annoying because you had the keep typing in an address every time you opened it and the rain totals didn’t seem to update quickly like this app does. Highly recommend this app and the upgraded version is only $19.99 a year. That seems very reasonable considering the amount of data it will display.
