## What is Rainy Days Rain Radar?

Rainy Days is the fast and accurate doppler rain radar app. Rainy Days gives you all the freedom to pan and zoom on incoming precipitation, so that you can see where storms are heading at the detail that you like. Be your own weatherman with Rainy Days!

Rainy Days is best used for local weather; the app uses multiple sources of data to give you the most up to date radar images based on the zoom level and location, whilst other apps use one big map for the whole world.

Rainy Days uses actual radar doppler data and only falls back to satellite based data in areas where doppler radars are not available.

Rainy Days supports a large portion of the world, including US, Canada, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Australia, Europe, Scandinavia and Africa. Missing your area? Get in touch and I'll try my best to add it.

Note that Rainy Days only shows precipitation, not clouds!

Rainy Days is supported by advertisements which, if you prefer, you can disable with a one time in-app purchase.

### 5/5 — Love the Android app - so glad it’s on Apple

*2026-05-14*

Have used this app for years to find out what precipitation ACTUALLY is, together with a couple of weather apps to find out what’s forecast. I look at the precipitation movement and extrapolate to find out if it’s going to rain in the next hour or two. Great if you’re planning outdoor activities as it shows actual local precipitation.

### 3/5 — Good

*2024-05-25*

Wish the radar was a little better smoothed, otherwise it’s a great app. Exactly what I would like. Just a little better graphics. Open and see a live radar. GREAT!!!

### 3/5 — Ok but needs enhancement

*2024-03-27*

This seems to be a useful app but it only shows the previous hour rather than forecasting, say, the next two to three hours which would be much more useful.

### 5/5 — Excellent rain radar

*2021-02-22*

Don’t know why it isn’t top because it gives good graphics and accurate radar. My go to app for rain movement storm extent.

### 1/5 — Permission violation

*2018-11-17*

Tracks location even when ‘never’ is selected for location services permission. Unacceptable

**Developer response:** Hi, technically that isn't possible as iOS will disallow any access, yet I'm curious why you think this is the case. If you could send me an email, that would be appreciated! -- Hugo

### 5/5 — Great radar

*2018-05-19*

Was with android for many years & loved the accuracy of Rainy Days app. Was disappointed Apple did not have Rainy Days when I changed. Elated it’s now available and grabbed it right away. Love that you can zoom into your area & have it more accurate than many other weather others. Great radar app!

**Developer response:** Thank you! Happy you like it!
