User Reviews

Overall sentiment is mixed: many users praise Rain Viewer for its clean visuals, up-to-date radar, and usefulness for planning, including reports of accurate rainfall totals. But repeated complaints focus on intrusive ads and a shift to a paid subscription, which many feel devalues the app. Additional concerns include unreliable data accuracy in various regions, problematic widget connectivity, and gaps in data coverage (Africa, some Indonesian stations). Despite some positive feedback, the prevailing tone is frustration with reliability and business model after recent updates.

Pros

Accurate rainfall totals.
Up-to-date radar overview useful for planning.
Visually appealing UI.
Helpful for planning the day ahead based on weather.

Cons

Intrusive ads and full-screen ads.
Inconsistent / inaccurate radar data across regions.
Widget connectivity issues (No Connection / server errors).
Subscription-based model causing frustration and perceived price gouge.
Geographic data gaps / some stations offline (Africa, Indonesia, etc).

Recent reviews

Works great, but I was surprised there is no lightning data, that's pretty standard on other apps. Stop pushing the word "AI" into the UI, it's just an excuse for inaccuracy. Either you provide "insights" that are accurate, or you admit you threw the data into an LLM without checking. The fact that there was AI involved in the insights is meaningless.
