Rain Gauge App Reviews

Super simple to use, plenty of data, very cool interface. The second version is a complete upgrade, with added features like map search and bookmarking.

I love that I can see yesterdays precipitation, the average precipitation in a normal year, last years precipitation and the year to date precipitation. This is very powerful. I wish it would incorporate ET rates and it would be a very powerful irrigation decision tool.

It was fairly ok till the last update. I dont think a lot of the programmers test after an update. Now I cant get past the request to register even if I do register. It never goes any further. I reset several times still nothing. Its exactly what I been looking for if it would only work. Worthless as is. Months later, it never loads correctly and tells me it is because the connection to my server is taking too long. Still, the info I now get is zero. I let it go for a month thinking maybe other complainers would get it fixed. Never happened. If you do not have a super fast connection, I doubt this will work at all. Good idea for an app though if somebody could get it together. Still months later, wont load at all. Obviously these comments are ignored.

This was great app, rainfall total for areas, etc. Now with recent app update & registration config-- app keeps looping back to "thanks for registering, please reopen from home screen" error message!! When you do, process repeats itself and you are locked into dead end screen. Cmon guys-- get this fixed, this app was fine as it was-- whats with latest glitch? Was a true fan- now. Waiting for redo..:p

I like the idea of this app. Graphics are simple and clear. The rain gauge is a great graphic. The history info is really nice. Just what I wanted. Unfortunately, this is not quite ready for a lot of stars in my mind. It needs to be faster. Data downloads take many seconds. The "real time" radar graphic appears to be a couple of hours behind real time. Finally, I have only been able to bookmark three locations. I would like at least ten and maybe more.

Bought this app to have accurate rain data. The app gave me zero rainfall for the previous day when I know I had and inch in my outdoor gauge.

Update: Zero rain for yesterday reported at 6AM PST. When I next checked at 9PM a more reasonable amount of 0.46" was reported. Dont know when 0.46" actually got posted, though. First Comment; Reporting zero rain despite our recent storm.

Extremely bandwidth hungry app. With Verizon 3G two bars, the app server consistently times out when downloading data. Need LTE or Wi-Fi to connect, then takes at least 20 seconds to get data each time it is restarted or for new location. App does not give snowfall data. It is not worth paying for.

Worst $2 ever spent -- the app doesnt work 9 out of ten attempts. Im in California and when I try to type in a new address in the locator, as it defaults to miles away, it put me in Arkansas and I cant get rid of it! Refreshed the app more than once still not working--huge waste if time! There is a constant error message to "try again later when I have a better connection", but my connection is fine...this is bandwidth hungry and slow...no app support, or I would try to get my two bucks back. I once got it to work on 4G, but never again. The format is nice when it does work...but Ive tried several frustrating attempts over a two week period and its worked only twice out of 20 or more attempts during that span of time!

I purchased this app because the features listed in the description were what I was looking for! Nice features, and it would be a nice app, if you could get it to open, and actually work more than one out of every ten tries. So far NOT RELIABLE. Needs a lot of work!

What a waste of my money this app will not even open.tells me to try again later every time I try and open it. Its my own fault I should of read the reviews before buying.I want my money back this is useless if you cant open it. When will you fix this app what a rip off.

The old version worked great. A little slow you could get the info. Now when I put in an address other than where I currently am, it sends me to Arkansas. I hope this gets fixed soon...too good of an app to let it go.

This is terrible, it tells you when it updated last in minutes or hours but its never close. Better off to stick to the old way & listen to weather man , this is a joke its never near being right . Good idea, bad app!

This app is just what I wanted, so I ignored the low ratings and gave it a try. Works fine for my current location. When I try to enter another address, it ignores the address I give and goes to Alaska every time. Was hoping to check rainfall at some other property we own about 200 miles away. Please fix the bugs on this app.

Do not buy this app - I have not been able to get it open. It always tells me to try again later. I want my money back!!!

The commenter who said this app only works one time in ten got much better results than I did. Once in thirty or forty is more like it. Great concept, I just wish it worked.

Was a definite five star app, in its previous version. I am a storm spotter, and frequently interact with the National Weather Service. This new version is by far less user-friendly. Before, all one had to do was enter the city and state to receive rainfall amounts. One could also get more specific data by entering an address. Greatest thing since sliced bread....then Now, one must use either geo-coordinates, or list a specific address within a city. Alas, no matter what info I enter, I am given data for some location in AK. Utterly useless at this point. In fact, Im trying to find a resource that comes close to being as good as the previous version. New version is the kiss of death for this app.

After spending an hour with it, still have no Idea how to get it to change location and give info. Map freezes, address inputs dont work

It doesnt work. Great concept, I really need this type of application, but this doesnt work. Only works on on location and when yup put in another location , it does accept it!!!???

This app works fine for my current location but I am not able to check a different location.
