Much improved version

I have used RainAware for many years. It is the easiest way to see when rain is coming, what the intensity will be, and when it will end. I just opened the newest version and it is a big improvement. I really like how I can move what looks like a second hand on an analog clock around the dial to see the exact time of the rain activity. I also like how the map can be shown behind the rain clock. There is also a ton of adjustments that can be made in settings to customize to your liking, but default settings seem to work fine.

New update

I've used the app for years and it really helps on the jobsite, pouring concrete, etc. though the new update is like stepping back to MSDos. A lot more detail and functions, but not as user friendly as the older. Hope it's a step in the right direction. Still absolutely worth the purchase.

Response from developer

TayAnthem, appreciate the positive vibe! I hope you have found the new notification & alerts function inside Settings menu, since the old version did not have alerts. You can even set the alerts to heavy vs light rain, and define a minimum total rain time required to alert (for example, you can weed out short 5-10 minute light rains). One other thing, you might try "legacy" navigation, which some people like better because it is closer to the old app. You can test out by going to Settings > Main Clock Screen > Rain Summary, then turn switches on or off. I am happy to answer any further questions via the "Contact" button at the bottom of the Settings menu. Hope to talk to you soon. RA

Was better before the changes

I’d used this app for years and loved how simple/accurate/user-friendly it was. They have since done an update that spoiled all that.

Update lost my license

I paid for a one time lifetime license. The latest update kills that and wand an annual subscription now. How to get it reinstated?

new update RUINED this app

used to be a great app to open and quickly check rain chances for the next three hours. After recent update, app now takes forever to launch, and it is a train wreck to find anything. wish I had never updated app to new version.
