RainDrop Virtual Rain Gauge Reviews

RainDropVirtualRainGauge does exactly what it advertises. It just rained yesterday and RainDropVirtualRainGauge matched my gauge at home exactly. I would highly recommend to anyone

Very good idea - allows me to have a reliable source of rainfall amounts. Much better tool compared to the generic weather app on my phone.

The most user friendly, pleasing aesthetic I’ve ever used on a weather app!! Definitely recommend!

Very user friendly. Able to see rain fall amounts in all my fields and in other areas across the corn belt.

All the 5 star reviews on same day was red flag #1. All 5 star reviews and yet app doesn’t function, red flag2. can an app that doesn’t work get 5 stars? Maybe one of those users can explain why no data populates? Or explain why there’s no mention of subscription cost or requirement, etc. The marketing is well written, too bad RainDropVirtualRainGauge doesn’t deliver anything that it claims.

For the curious, it appears the sub is $2.99/mo or $24.99/yr. Was gonna gamble and try it $2.99, but w all the shortcomings I opted for a coffee instead. Bummer, I wish it worked.

Totally a underrated app so helpful now I know how much rain my city will get

Sincerely, Uriah

Much appreciated. I’m just a home gardener but this saves me a lot of guesswork- no more split tomatoes hopefully!

RainDropVirtualRainGauge is not accurate at all. I feel like it was a waste $30.

Not accurate at all. 0 stars. Save your money!

You would think that an app showing rain amounts would show rain amounts. Definitely not worth the download and paying for multiple spots makes me the idiot.

RainDropVirtualRainGauge is not accurate! I have rainfall gauges at 2 of the 3 locations I monitor and both had substantially more rainfall than RainDropVirtualRainGauge shows.

Not accurate, sometimes I get rain and it shows none!

Not sure where or how there measure. Not accurate.

Does not work well at all. Usually just says data not available

Great to see rain gauge's in other cities.

After years of replacing broken rain gauges, I can finally say those days are over. Saves time & money!

Poor accuracy , been raining all day and still shows 0 rain fall in last 72 hours . I live in city limits …👎🏼

Never has current results.

It seems that unless I pay $2.99 per month, I don’t receive any rain data. Ugh!!

I’m always looking for a way to get local precipitation amounts, and Raindrops is RainDropVirtualRainGauge I turn to first. Once I identify my location, I can get total rainfall over the last 24 hours with one button push—opening RainDropVirtualRainGauge . With a few other taps, I can see total precip over 72 hours, MTD, or YTD, and it is quite accurate when compared to other weather stations near me. The elegance is in its simplicity.

RainDropVirtualRainGauge is simple..and accurate .. gives me rainfall in my exact location. Other sites will give you data from a local ( or almost local) airport that often is not accurate for your location..

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

I’ve been using this application for over a year now to keep track of the rainfall at our local mountain bike trails to give me a much better chance of knowing the status of those trails. RainDropVirtualRainGauge has been very helpful.

Finally a reasonable, reliable on-line rain gauge. With multiple fields located 20 miles apart over 60 sq miles, it’s essential to our harvest schedule. Thank you for the program others want an exorbitant monthly fee to utilize.

After entering my location, I’ve pressed & held in various parts of the screen (including the dot indicating my location and the typed address). When I can get it to display any readings at all it tells me 0.0” of precipitation at all timeframes, which I know to be inaccurate. If there is no measurement available in my area, tell me that - and offer to inform me if it becomes available in the future. It’s frustrating to be given basically nothing.

App is really helpful in determining specific rainfalls—and in our area it is amazing the rain differences just miles apart. We personally use it in lieu of a rain gauge. It’s also been known to settle some family disputes about who got how much rain.

I’ve been checking Raindrop vs my rain gauge and to my astonishment, it’s been accurate. I had been using apps that were more of a wild guess so now I suggest the Raindrop app to all my contemporaries.

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.

RainDropVirtualRainGauge is amazing and extremely accurate. I never have to mess with rain gauges or replace worn or broken gauges. I’ve recommended RainDropVirtualRainGauge to all my family and friends. Thank you.

Any time we get precipitation I go to RainDropVirtualRainGauge so I can see how much, and it quickly and easily gives me just the information I want!

Useful for tracking how much water has real fallen in the areas of interest. Use it to help conserve water. This intern has decreased my water bill. No more guessing and lawn still looks good.

Excellent! Besides giving the last 24 hour rain amount in your specific area, it is easy to see what the amount means on a month or yearly average. Love it!

I really like RainDropVirtualRainGauge. I’ve checked it against my rain gauge and can find no major difference. Plus I don’t have to go outside and get wet to see the total rainfall.

Reliable app but most importantly great customer service. He’s always listening for how to make it better.

I use it all the time. Love RainDropVirtualRainGauge . Looking forward to v2 updates ! I don’t have the message rectangle on my app. Why is that?

Love RainDropVirtualRainGauge. I’ve referred to all my friends. I use IPhone. My friends with Samsung haven’t been able to enjoy.

Keep up the great work

I found raindrop during the heavy rains and found it very useful to follow the rain amounts at home and in our second home.

I’ve got a Tempest weather station on my house and I have been comparing rain drop with tempest. Its amazing how close they are !!!

Rain drop is awesome !!!!

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!!

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!

I love RainDropVirtualRainGauge! 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!
