User Reviews

RainAware is praised for its simple, quick rain checks (next few hours) and a useful rain clock, with some noting strong developer responsiveness. The most common criticisms center on the post-update experience: a cluttered, data-dense UI that makes navigation harder and slower to use; performance issues such as long launch times; removal of familiar quick-glance features (like the bar graph view); changes to saved locations/ZIP code saving; and a pricing shift toward subscriptions and premium maps. Overall reliability feels mixed after the update, and many long-time users miss the original simplicity.
Pros
  • Simple, quick rain checks for the next few hours.
  • Accurate near-term rain timing for local area (where it works well).
  • Rain clock and real-time rain visualization remain useful features.
  • Responsive developer support and communication when issues arise.
Cons
  • Post-update UI redesign leads to a cluttered, data-dense interface that is hard to navigate.
  • Slower launch times and overall performance issues after the update.
  • Loss of familiar quick-glance features (e.g., removal of the bar graph view) and increased complexity.
  • Changes to saved locations/ZIP code saving make saving/recalling locations harder.
  • Pricing changes, including the loss of a lifetime license and push toward subscriptions/premium maps.

Rain aware has gone from mediocre to awful. No clear information and too many obscure symbols and useless icons.

I hate the new layout. It’s hard to find anything. I usually just use the basic weather app that came with my phone now, instead of getting frustrated with this app
