Rain Tally: Virtual Rain Gauge

As a gardener I need to be aware of how much water my plants are getting. I have several weather apps but none of them gives me reliable info on how much rain fell. This app allows me to set how much rain I need per week (I base it on how hot the weather will be) and then the actual measurements so I can determine how much watering I need to do. I love that it shows me daily amounts and totals for seven day periods. Plus it projects how much rain we’ll get over the next many days. This has become my “go to” app.

As a Game Keeper and food plot enthusiast, I can say this app will save you money, and a headache. Timing of spring planting is crucial to success and to the prevention of lost effort and money, and one of the most significant factors at play is soil moisture and weekly rain totals. This app will help you track past and future rainfall totals, and consider historical trends in evaluating the outcome of your planting, ensure soil moisture with accuracy before and after planting mitigating seed loss due to imbibition, ponding etc. I have the data to be accurate in accordance with data is collected on site, and pretty accurate in the prediction of totals. I highly recommend. $10 per year is cheap compared to replanting!

I am all about quantity of rainfall. It irritates me that all of the forecasting in other apps do not include the amount of rainfall it should predict. This app predicts a very accurate rainfall total for two days ahead and also allows you to enter your own rain gauge totals as you go. I do spend the $10 a year and I love working with this app.
