What's New in RainViewer

7.23

July 2, 2026

SETTINGS, REBUILT The Settings screen is rebuilt from the ground up - cleaner, faster to scan, and laid out the way you'd expect. Two new controls are worth opening it for: · Animation speed - play the radar timeline up to 4x faster or slower. The default keeps your current speed · Units now follow your device automatically and update the moment you change them, so you're no longer stuck on the units you launched with A CLEARER MAP · One precipitation intensity scale everywhere - the map, the legend, tap-to-read values, and your notifications finally match. Rain and hail now share one scale, since a strong radar reading isn't always rain · Now you can switch color schemes right from the legend, for the precipitation layers: weather radar, satellite precipitation, and the 72-hour forecast. Go find the one that suits you · Show or hide the legend whenever you want, right from the legend itself · Map Layers regrouped so related layers sit together FIXES · Favorites now scrolls all the way, so you can reach and reorder every saved place · The Source page scrolls to the bottom at the largest text size · Live Activities settings now scale with your system font size Enjoying RainViewer? A quick review helps more people find it.

Inconsistent forecasts

Y

Alerts do not work

The whole reason I tried this app was that I wanted a real time alert for rain as I sometimes have expensive astrophotography equipment outside. I paid for a subscription and set up alerts. It is literally raining as I write this, and the app did nothing.

No good

Terrible. Opacity is too much. Can’t see county lines. Worthless.

Useless unless you buy it

Other free apps offer far more information, and this one is deliberately limited. This app often has issues connecting to the server, constantly nags you to subscribe, and the most recent change to the free version removed radar coverage for my town.
