On the road again!

Extremely nice way to monitor the weather over a large distance! Knowing the amount of rain in each location can tell you a lot more about the conditions for driving a long trip!

Love this except …

Raindrop is a great app … just wish that I had more control over what the page for a single location would show … 1) * Time Stamp * (important) 2 ) show all time periods for a single location

Love this app !

I wish I had known about this app before, I really like keeping updated on rainfall/snowfall amounts and upcoming weather.

Great app

As a gardener and someone who is super boring and loves keeping track of rainfall, this app is awesome! It’s simple and it works.

Accuracy

This is the most accurate app that I’ve found.

Excellent App. Couldn’t cope without it

I have a community g Arden plot 20 minutes from home in the. It’s, and RainDrop saves me so much time helping me plan when I do and don’t need to water! The staff support is excellent, too. No robots.

Data confirmed

I have a rain gage at one of my locations. Rain Drop has accurately reported rain fall for the past six months. I have a watershed project including two ponds and the accurate reporting and history have been extremely helpful

a very useful app

Though admittedly the measurements were undervalued. in the period nov 20-25 the actual measurement in my gauge was 4.21” the app measured slightly over 3”. Still, it’s a very helpful general indicator of precipitation.

Great app

Helpful chat service

Great app

Love this app! Helps me know when to water the grass. Please create a link where we can donate to you. Do not want the monthly plan.

Great job developers

I’m a new user but I have to say “ why didn’t I find this years ago! “. Keeping track of rain at my farm that’s 4 hrs away. Appears to be spot on

Simple.

I’ve had this app for less than 30 minutes and it explains for itself. It’s exactly what I need for my farm as I have many locations that the rain totals need to be kept up on. Whether you want to know how much it rained in your backyard or how much it rained afar off, this simple and easy-to-use app will let you know.

Bait and switch

When I downloaded RainDrop a few weeks ago, you were allowed to have three rain gauges in the free version. This morning when I opened the app there was a notification that the free version now only allowed two gauges. Fine, I get it, you’re trying to get subscribers, but taking away features doesn’t make users want to suddenly shell out $40-50/year. If anything it disincentivizes it. Add features that make the free users want to upgrade. Carrot vs. stick. I’m not deleting it, but I am certain

Review

For 15 years I have lived on a south Mississippi Coastal River with substantial tidal flows and high flood potential from upstream rain. This app contains by far the most accurate and timely information available. Plus the tech support and responses to questions are always quick and accurate. Great product, great support, if just obtaining a single site information all free. Thank you Raindrop. John L Noble

Love this app

Fantastic service. Super helpful. Please expand!

Historical totals issue

The 7 and 30 day totals on my gauges are not correctly totaling.

Farm Necessity

We are a farm family with farms spread over quite a few miles. If we need to check the rainfall amounts at a farm, we just have to look on Raindrop. This saves us time and money! Thank you!

Handy, time saving rain APP

I’ve got property in 4 states with deer food plots. It great to have one quick source to monitor how much rain has fallen

Great for mountain biking!

Know where you can ride! I have a gauge programmed for all the trails in my region. I can see at a glance which trail systems are likely to still be rideable, and which are likely to be too muddy.

Amazing simple app

This app has been so helpful for my landscaping business. I can track precipitation on multiple properties almost in real time which really helps us plan maintenance.

Not free

You can view the last few days of data, but cannot view past that.

Finally!

Yes an app that finally gives me what I want, rain totals by the hour, daily, monthly and the year. It’s so easy to use. I can keep track for my garden and check my loved ones too. Thanks!

Remote acreage

I own farm acreage 150 miles from where I live. It’s impossible to rely on a traditional rain gauge. RainDrop enables me to monitor rainfall without being there.

No other app does this

This is a simple app, but no other app provides this information. It’s clear, easy to read, and reliable. I love it. Recommend highly.

Raindrop

A great app for rain fall amount detection

Easiest to use and so convenient!

Easiest to use and so convenient, thanks Rylan!

On top of things

I really appreciate being able to look at rainfall amounts at any time day or night. We have field in a 20 mile radius and it just isn't feasible to drive around to see this. Very handy easy to read

Not a farmer

Love this app, can look at rainfall in Columbia MO, Oxford MS, Inlet beach FL, down the street, and especially at home to know when-how much to water the new lawn! Keep it up.

Perfect!

Straightforward app that lets you select from past 24 hrs, 72 hrs, month, or year and at your exact location. Just what I was looking for. Thank you!

Great App

Exactly what I’ve been wanting. Very simple rain totals for desired locations. Just installed it, will give it a shake out, but the features available are awesome. Thank you!!

Awesome App

I love this app! Been looking for something like this for a long time and this is perfect for what I want! Always want to know how much rain we had….. Thank you!

Great For Our Industry!

We love the app for it’s accuracy! In the Storm Water Compliance industry, it’s very vital to know what rain amounts are happening on all of our sites, and this app delivers! It’s off from time to time (not much), but that’s pretty good figuring we have hundreds of sites! We still use our standard rain gauges, but this app is helpful in determining what sites we should focus on and what we can put on the back-burner. It’s been very nice to have an assistant keeping track of it all!

Extremely helpful

We use this to monitor rainfall on our property which is 2 hours away. It saves us driving there only to get our RV stuck in mud!

Impressed

Was pleasantly surprised at how well this app worked. Fairly accurate within a tenth of my rain gauge’s around the farm. Definitely worth getting!

Interesting

Great to see rain gauge's in other cities.

Questionable totals

Total rain accumulation at my site is highly questionable.

5 Negative User Reviews for RainDrop

Inaccurate.

They apparently calculate location averages with little regard for the accuracy of the contributing gages.

Not accurate.

I downloaded this app and checked it against the mechanical rain gauge in my yard. I work at a golf course and thought it would be nice to know what the rainfall amounts were in the different parts of the course before I got to work. Unfortunately, the app was not accurate at all. When we received 3” of rain, the app showed .70” of rainfall. The app uses Doppler radar estimates for there information, not actual rainfall numbers.

Really expensive!

A lot of money for a lot of virtualy useless information.

Update 13 dec

Why was the month to date rainfall amount deleted. Will consider deleting app

Not accurate

My rain gauge shows 1+” today, this app only shows .2”&I have water standing everywhere
