Ain’t matching

Numbers from app don’t match numbers on rain gauge

Too expensive

I downloaded and went through all the prompts just to find out they charge $49. a year. I like to know what’s up with the weather but not for that much. Weather dot come works just fine for me. And it’s free.

Not accurate

In the last seven days we received almost exactly 3 1/2 inches on my back deck. Measured it with a reliable rain gauge. This app reports 2 inches for the last week. Disappointing accuracy.

Does NOT cover whole US!!!

I purchased this app specifically for primarily looking at rainfall in Anchorage, Alaska. The app description says anywhere in the US. I paid for a subscription, and right away went to look for a rainfall in Anchorage, and there is no data available. WTF!!!

Love the app!

Have several locations recording especially like knowing rainfall where my mom lives several hours away

Not very accurate

I thought at first that kind of was on point but now down the line that’s not very accurate no precept for the next seven days and it’s cloudy in about to start raining now so unfortunately it’s not for me

Radar needs work

Does what it says with rain totals and has a nice set up to itemize favorite areas with relevant info. It's just the design of the radar that I don't like. Need it more realistic than looking like mist floating on a map.

Great but freezes my phone!

I'd give this app more stars but not 5 because the pricing is too much. The main issue I have is that if I take a screenshot in this app it locks my phone to the point I need to power cycle it.

Not working at the moment

I love the app, but for some reason it is not working after a heavy rain.

Reading past rainfall

Cant figure this out

Waste of money

Waste of money paid 130$ for it to say we got 4mm of rain yes it was calling for it but it completely missed us and we got nothing.

Wow

Well Luke most weather related apps free or pay. They generally follow same principal. They guess a lot And Generally suck
Few other ranchers and farmers told me of RainDrop. Took the 7 day I Figured I’d compare With other apps I have both free and pay. I knew after first day this was real deal. Highly recommend

Great app

Thanks for providing this to the public

Very nicely detailed

Not responsive

So I subscribed, which may be very short lived. Hours ago I tried to log in and it wouldn’t recognize my PW. SO hit forgot PW and go a message telling me to check my email for direction on how to reset. STILL waiting. I’ll change my review if you actually send me an email with the directions.

Very Accurate

I helped pioneer the software industry and am always skeptical about new apps and try to test them before buying. This is one of those apps that live up to their hype. Been using this for about four months and their accuracy is very spot on. I recommend this app!

Bad forecasting, most of the good tools and history are hidden behind paywall.

That’s a 62% difference

Rain totals not very accurate compared to actual gage.
YTD by RainDrop-12.87”
Actual rain gage-8.11”
That’s a 62% difference

Inaccurate location

I have the pin set on my exact location, but the app gives me a location that is two towns away, 12 or more miles. In trying to solve this, they keep asking me for screenshots of what I am seeing in the app. It only takes one screenshot to see that the pin and the town they are assigning as my location are pretty far apart. If they can’t get this basic thing resolved, what does this say about the accuracy of rain data anywhere?

Response from developer

Hi there, we still have a free tier for two locations. Try updating the app, and if you’re still having problems, contact us through the in-app chat support so we can help resolve the issue.

Cannot add locations u

I really want to love this app, but I cannot add any locations no matter what I try. I created an account with email/password. Please advise
