Now when opened it becomes unresponsive. So I need to turn off my phone and reboot it. Not happy. ### 2/5 — Great app *2025-10-25, version 1.6.2* It doesn’t working anymore after BOM changed everything. Please fix it ### 4/5 — Very cool *2016-09-07* So far so good. I paid for the upgrade. 3.99 is a small price to pay in my line of work to know if rain is headed my way or not. If people want something free watch the weather in the morning. How can you expect the best top notch service from an app but don't want to pay anything for it ? Try putting free food in your refrigerator, free gas in your car, try using free wifi, try some free housing - then tell me how much of it was just awesome and how much of it you loved. It's 3.99 people. Come on. ### 5/5 — Very reliable *2016-01-03, version 1.6.1* Reliable forecasts and quick access to information. ### 5/5 — Absolutely love it! *2015-11-25, version 1.6.1* It's the easily by far the most useful app I have. The forecasts are very accurate- definitely worth getting. ### 2/5 — Good rain predict app *2015-11-20, version 1.6.1* It's a great app but after purchased it there was a software update and it keeps asking me to buy it again. Pity ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2015-11-05, version 1.6.1* Clever use of radar data and is surprisingly accurate. ### 5/5 — Great app *2015-05-29, version 1.6.1* I've always found this app to be accurate. Very easy to use. Was a bit disappointed the range of forecast in the free version dropped from 90 minutes to 60 when I upgraded to iPhone 6. But I like the app enough to upgrade to the fully paid version ### 5/5 — Love it! *2015-05-19, version 1.6.1* I have no idea what I would do without it! There's also literally no bugs/glitches either! It's great :) ### 4/5 — How about some colour? *2015-04-02, version 1.6.1* Fairly happy with this app but would like to see colour used to indicated the impending amount of rain. ### 5/5 — Love it!! *2015-01-25, version 1.6.1* Pretty accurate all the time. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Why pay for alerts? *2022-07-28, version 1.6.2* Got the app today, paid for the upgrade and set up alerts. Less than 2 hours later it was raining and did not get an alert to let me know it was coming. ### 1/5 — Made me look silly *2021-12-02, version 1.6.2* Told everyone at my cricket club it was gonna rain, it didn’t ### 1/5 — No Data *2021-01-22* I bought this app several years ago, and it is a very good app, and the only one of it’s type.I am working on a movie, and it is vitally important to know when rain is going to stop for filming. This app has been useful for many years in that regards.Since needing it again this week, it comes back saying no data available. I want to rate this five stars,but it seems the developers are abandoning it??? ### 1/5 — Useless app! *2016-06-05, version 1.6.1* Just displays around five numbers from 30 to 120. Don't download! ### 1/5 — Crapspotting *2015-11-06, version 1.6.1* Waste of money! You seriously sell this as an app. It just takes you to the free BoM site. Want my money back! ### 1/5 — $3.99 version is Very inaccurate *2015-09-14* Worst $3.99 I ever spent! Wish I could get a refund! It said it was raining and would rain for 20 more minutes when there was no rain in sight And vice-versa it has said it was sunny when it was raining hard! ### 1/5 — Free version is useless. *2015-06-15* Who knows? Can't make it do anything. ### 1/5 — Free version is useless *2015-05-12* You can't set your location, can't set future rain settings, basically you can't change any useful settings. It's a total bait and switch. Says it's free but you can't use anything until you buy the paid version ### 1/5 — Inaccurate! *2015-03-12, version 1.6.1* I find this app totally inaccurate and would like my money back! I am sittin g here on a sunny morning and according to the app it should be raining! BOM shows no rain nearby! ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2014-10-01, version 1.6.1* Useless ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Cyclist friend *2025-10-28, version 1.6.2* This is the first app I go to before hopping on my bicycle. My family have been using this app for the last 15 years and it’s never let us down once. ### 5/5 — My favourite weather app. *2022-11-07, version 1.6.2* My favourite weather app. ✨ ### 5/5 — Best rain app *2021-03-21, version 1.6.2* I love this app! I’ve been using it for years, so useful when you’re planning to go to the park or do anything outside. It’s accurate and has stopped us from getting a surprise drenching quite a few timea. ### 5/5 — Most accurate rain app out there *2020-06-21, version 1.6.2* I have multiple weather apps and this one is the most accurate one for local rain forecast. It is normally +-2 minutes accurate which is as good as it gets. Perfect to predict if Sports is on, when to go outdoors etc. ### 5/5 — Great App *2019-11-12, version 1.6.2* Works well - I have used it for years now. ### 5/5 — Great app *2017-09-30, version 1.6.2* Love it ### 5/5 — Nice update for bigger phones. *2017-01-09, version 1.6.2* Nice update for my iPhone 7+. 3D Touch was a requested feature that has been implemented. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2016-10-16, version 1.6.1* This is exactly what I was looking for! ### 5/5 — Pretty accurate app *2016-09-25, version 1.6.1* Pretty accurate app almost to the dot. I rely on it a lot to track the kids coming home so they don't get wet. Same for managing my laundry. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2016-09-19, version 1.6.1* Great App for spotting rain and accessing the BOM. A must for anyones iPhone! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
