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.

I paid for a one time lifetime license. The latest update kills that and wand an annual subscription now. How to get it reinstated?

used to be a great app to open and quickly check rain chances for the next three hours. After recent update, app now takes forever to launch, and it is a train wreck to find anything. wish I had never updated app to new version.

What’s going on, it used to be my go to app for Weather and ever since you did the new change it has never been correct. I am so disappointed. I used to brag about this after everybody I came across.
