RainDrop - Virtual Rain Gauge

I downloaded this app to try it out and it works without even subscribing to it. I decided to try the “three day free trial” thinking it would unlock everything within the app for just three days, but it doesn’t do that. After using the free trial and trying to look at a 48 hour rainfall target it says I need to pay for the app to see anything further out than a regular 24 hours and in 24 hours time the app does not update the rainfall amounts it has since rained over 5 inches in my location and the app still says What it did yesterday. So this app might be a paperweight they offer a free subscription, but don’t allow you to utilize any of the features without paying for it, which is kind of dumb if you have a free trial. At the end of the free trial you will be charged $4.14 per month to use the app which doesn’t make sense if you pay for the monthly subscription on the app and it only charged you $2.14. You would think after taking a three day free trial you would offer the two dollar price versus the four dollar price. The sub subscription makes no sense. If the app was updated more frequently, it would be worth it, but since it doesn’t, you’re better off relying on other weather sources to get more accurate information

First of all, I want to say how easy this app is to use. It’s clean, well organized, and intuitive. I wish there was a more obvious way to see the calendar view, but otherwise it’s wonderful. I noticed rain tracking that seemed to be off a bit day to day and reached out using the built in support chat (amazing and well built also!) where I got a response that they are currently aggregating 0800 each day but are shifting to midnight to improve “daily” totals. Great news for usability and will help our kiddos weather tracking project for accuracy. Thank you RainDrop team. Keep up the amazing work.

It’s always a struggle to find apps that do what you want, let alone updated and maintained. Look no further than right here. Raindrop is legit. It gives you all the information on rainfall you need and accurately. I started very skeptical with the free version, thinking I’d be deleting it soon. I was wrong! I’m a proud paying customer supporting the excellent team behind this app. Updates are frequent and always improving functionality. So many changes in the last few months. All for the better. Great job! Download this app now!!
