† RainAware is for use in the United States, Guam and Puerto Rico only. RainAware relies on National Weather Service radars and may not work properly if a radar is down or if the beam is blocked by mountains. In rare instances, ground clutter may result in a false positive for rain at your location. Extremely light sprinkles or drizzle may not always be detected. Precipitation times will change as RainAware adjusts to rapidly changing weather conditions. Precipitation can form suddenly or dissipate at any time.

I've had it for a few years. The first time I used it, it was spot on in predicting heavy rain at 325 PM. It's rarely ever been accurate again, even in the 6-12 hour range. Don't waste your time and money.

by Y####:

Doesn't do radar. Just spins and spins like it's loading. It's time for an update, but they don't have one.

Does this app forecast snow?

Y70%
by Y####:

"Cannot get an accurate rain time: Sorry local radar is temporarily offline." This is what I've gotten since the third day after purchase. This app is as worthless as a football bat.

Y70%
by Y####:

The app is great. 4 stars because that's what this app's average is, so it won't affect it adversely. Provide any kind of notification, such as push or even text, if when it is going to rain, and this app is 5 stars easily.

P70%
by P####:

Updating review, lowering score. Would like push notification options, as well as Android wear support. App had potential but has never been updated.

Rain clock not working. I've had light rain for the last hour and the clock reads dry

Add push notifications to it and then it's a 5 start app!

I heard about this app on MLB during a baseball game. In Pittsburgh where there's a lot of rain it was said the tarp crew use this app exclusively. If it's good enough for them it's good enough for me! I especially like the rain focus - as I ride a motorcycle and this is precisely the info I needed, I have no interest in being a meteorologist... Just want to know if it'll rain or not. Thanks!

Has proven very accurate and useful.

Has this app been abandoned? Not only I, but other customers have also asked if some sort of push notification and/or widget can be implemented. I know it's possible, because other rain alarm apps are available to do so. I'm currently using a free rain app that notifies me when weather is approaching. I would be fine with just the free app, but the thing is I paid for the RainAware app. I have emailed the developer(s) a couple times last year with the promise of my request would be on the next update. After a few updates still no push notification and/or widget. Hey Devs, if you haven't abandoned this app and you're reading this please respond with your intentions with this app. Thanks!

From the day I bought the application I still waiting on this to be loading I have very good WiFi signal, been trying for more then week. Wasted my money.

O70%
by O####:

I love this app. As a track official and golf tournament director, I rely on this app for all weather activities. It has been very accurate. Plus when I had problems, the support staff was extremely helpful.

M70%
by M####:

Everytime I check it, it pushes out the time when it says it's going to start raining.

D70%
by D####:

It has been raining most of the evening, unfortunately this app says it has not rained. Have turned off the clutter filter and lowered the threshold, no difference. If you like to waste money this is for you.

This is a decent app, but I'm still waiting for an update that would add a push notification and/or a widget. Please release an update soon.

Ad doesn't even come close. Don't waste your money. Last sat pouring rain app said dry.

L70%

Best weather app available but loads slow of it loads at all. Very unstable and undependabe.

C70%
by C####:

Put simply it looks at minute by minute rain chance, which is better than you get most every where else. Not 100% accurate but works well.

The app works well now after I made that adjustment.. Thank you!

H70%

I love the concept of this app and I think it works well, but It needs to load faster, in fact it won't even load on my Galaxy S6 right now as we speak. Please fix

Forecast area needs something done though it's a little bland. Almost like it was thrown together quickly.

Good app. Didn't work on my Samsung 6 when I first downloaded. Got quick response from RainAware with trouble shooting. Redownloaded works great now!

Hits it most of the time. About as perfect as you can expect. Love the satellite it's more up to date than anything else on the Internet.

Will not install on samsung s3. I see no option to get it refunded

C70%
by C####:

While this app is extremely accurate it would be extremely nice to have a section added to alert when rain was incoming without having to open the app to look. Like a pop up or something similar would be great.

N70%
by N####:

It's pouring out yet the app tells me it will start raining 20 minutes from now.... checked back about 30 mins later and it says it's dry.... while there is a downpour....glad I was able to get a refund

G70%
by G####:

When u open would.ve nice I'd it would automatically zoom in to subscriber location oth her than that cool

T70%
by T####:

You check the app to see if it's going to rain. There should be some way of setting up notifications especially since all other free weather apps show pretty much the same data. Interface seems outdated.
