Great upgrade

I've been using the original Rain Log for five years. easy to use and easy to read your records. This iteration brings even more ways to read your own data.

Simple, useful and reliable

This my eighth year of using RainLog. I am very satisfied. I would love to see support for using more than one photo. A library as small as five or six images would be much more useful than one. If the month display could show irrigation information (which zone was watered, which trees were watered) as images on the same chart as rainfall, it would greatly increase the amount of useful information that could be got with a single glance. It would turn a good app into an outstanding app. If you added this option for a subscription I would still be interested.

Pretty interesting app

I started using this app years ago. But it took on Moore meeting as time went on and I had all the history of the rain that happened in my yard.
I really like the graphs that it shows of the past years, overlay them with other years and with two year and five year averages.
When they upgraded Fromm version one to version two, it was a little awkward at first, but they resolved being able to import my data from version to version. 😊😊😊

Rain log

Very good rain log recordings

A Truly Great App

For so many of us weather is a standard conversation piece and tired of guessing our rainfall I went looking for and found a great app.
I’ve been using Rainlog since 2021 and it was brilliant, now made better with Rainlog V2
The new Rainlog is an absolute belter. Very Happy with the cost/benefit of the subscription model.
Easy to use and more than enough reporting.
Recommend to all.

Great UI & solid app

Thanks Wade for converting my files. Love the new app user interface, on what has been a solid app I have been using for 5 years. Look forward using it for may years to come.

Response from developer

Thank you for your kind review and for supporting RainLog over the past five years! I’m glad we were able to get your data converted and that you’re enjoying the new interface. I really appreciate your support and hope you continue to enjoy RainLog for many years to come!

Big Step Forward

I’ve been using Rainlog for more than 5 years and progressively entering rainfall data for our home into the app. I’ve always found it to be a very useful and easy to use app.

The new V2 version is a big step. The developer converts old (V1) backups to V2. The appearance of the new version looks really polished and it has remained easy to use.

I’m very happy with the ongoing support for Rainlog.

Thank you for your review and for being a long term user. I really appreciate it.

Do not use

I had rain log for over 8 years. I lost all my data when I tried to transfer the data to volume 2. Your choice and good luck. Email help was non existent

Response from developer

‘Do not use’ is a very misleading title for a one off migration issue from the original RainLog app to RainLog V2. We cannot find your support request for this. Please email us. (Or email us again if you have already tried) We assist everyone who reaches out to support. Please contact us and we will be happy to assist.

Best app for records

Update 2026

I got this app over ten years ago! The layout is good it’s very simple to use. I think it’s the best app for records. This one is the BEST
UPDATE 2026
Still
My favorite rain and weather record app.
I’m very impressed with the customer support too.
Above and beyond to help customers bring years of data into new format and functions.
Can’t beat this APP

Thank you very much for your review.. I really appreciate your support. Thank you for using RainLog. 😊

First impressions.

So far so good. However using iPhone it seems like you can’t select a backup folder for auto backup.

V2

Very happy with new app

Greg fisher

The best rain recording app

Data sharing

Perhaps you could make it more obvious how to share rainfall data or encourage people to share. For example, three sets of data for NZ is a bit thin. Also please give more detailed instructions of how to upload the data from the old app. Test it by getting a non tech person to follow the instructions without help.

Buy my app, now pay me a subscription.

Original app is great, worth the purchase price that the developer set and at the time was obviously happy with receiving and I was happy paying. I got a ready made spread sheet that looks and provides the basics well.
Now no more support for the app that was purchased. To continue using my data (now being held hostage) that I diligently collected over years, a new app with a yearly subscription at more than 3x times per year of the original purchase price. I wish you good luck, but I won’t be subscribing.

Response from developer

This review is only about the very modest yearly subscription, not the app itself. RainLogV2 is a modern rebuild with cloud sync, backup, and ongoing support. Existing customers from the original RainLog app can choose to move across to RainLogV2 or keep their data from the original app as a csv file.

Dreadful Update

This is hopeless. Easily the most difficult update of any app I’ve ever used. I’ve lost many years of carefully recorded rain data. You’ve gotta be better than this

Recent changes

I’ve been using RainLog for years. The change over to V2 was pretty easy, and it looks great. Developer was more than helpful while changing over.
People complaining about subscriptions need to realise Apps are hard work, and should stop expecting everything for nothing, and it’s only a low price per year

Response from developer

Thank you for your review, we appreciate it. We are very glad that your change over experience was ok and appreciate your positive feedback and support.

Restored lost data

Relieved that they could restore the missing data in the migration to the new app. New screen is small and crowded. Harder to easily see rainfall numbers under the date.
It keeps jumping back to the current month if you try the very annoying swipe right to scroll back through the months and years.
Sometimes when double tapping to enter data it interprets it as sharing and takes you out of the log.
The graph is nice and clear.

Response from developer

Thanks for the detailed feedback. I am glad that we could assist you with transitioning your data. An update has now been released to correct the calendar jumping issue, so month navigation should behave properly after updating. Appreciate the kind words about the graph.

Purchased V1 now a subscription in V2. No thank-you.

Before beginning to enter long term data - beware. I can understand “free” apps moving towards paid, but for a purchased app (version 1), which is essentially a fancy spreadsheet to force a subscription model to original users who have already paid is “shamefully ruthless “. Reputable developers would use a “Grandfathered model”
Show more

Response from developer

RainLog V1 was a one-time purchase app and remains separate from RainLog V2. RainLog V2 is a rebuilt app with ongoing cloud sync, backup, maintenance, support, and development costs that did not exist in the same way in V1. A small yearly subscription is what allows RainLog V2 to keep operating, supported, and improved. A previous V1 purchase does not cover the ongoing infrastructure and development costs of a new version. The suggestion that reputable development requires lifetime access to every future version is not realistic. Reputable development also means keeping the app sustainable, maintained, and properly supported. RainLog V2 is optional, and the pricing has deliberately been kept very modest for the value it provides. A low-cost annual fee for continued development, support, cloud sync, and backup is a practical requirement, not a ruthless act.

Data lost

I just lost all my data - 8 years worth. Opened app to input data and there was no previous data on my screen. A message then popped up (40secs later) to say data will be lost on 06/26 unless a backup is completed. No warning given 1-2 months ago. Extremely disappointed as my data is wiped before I could back it up

Response from developer

You are putting this review in the wrong place. You are talking about the initial RainLog not this version. Also the message popup you mention does not exist and never has. Also your data will not be gone. Get in touch with us please for assistance.

Disaster

What a disaster. I wish I could give no stars. Transfer to V2 instructions almost incomprehensible to older user. I have no confidence I will be able to find a decade or more of records. It looks like you are moving towards charging an annual fee. Don’t count on money from me.

Response from developer

Sorry the transfer instructions weren’t clear enough for you. Hundreds of users have now successfully transferred over using the steps provided. Your old Rain Log records should still be recoverable, and I’m happy to help you. Please contact us via our website at rainlog.com.au for assistance.
