With just one tap, Rain Radar will display (and notify) you when rain is approaching your location. The Rain Radar data images are the most up-to-date possible and therefore more reliable than a conventional forecast. In a saturated app market, Rain Radar was specifically crafted to conserve your battery life, data usage, and processing power while providing the quickest and easiest user experience.

Rain Radar was initially released in 2014, and after over 1000 updates, it has evolved into a preferred weather companion for numerous users worldwide.

How Rain Radar Works

Rain radar operates by emitting electromagnetic waves that bounce off precipitation particles, such as raindrops, snowflakes, and hail. The radar measures the time it takes for these waves to return, allowing it to determine the distance, intensity, and type of precipitation. Key features include:

Doppler Radar: This technology measures both precipitation and wind, providing information about storm movement and intensity.

Tilt Angles: Viewing multiple tilt angles (e.g., 0.5°, 1.45°, etc.) can help assess storm structure and identify potential hazards like hail.

Most popular data includes:

- NOAA doppler precipitation radar

- Real-time lightning data

- Precipitation prediction (up to 3 hours in advance)

- Snow depth, cloud cover, temperature readings (among other features)

    You bought the paid version of the app. The radar widget was showing a lot of false clutter, and you tried various methods to remove it. It was frustrating because it was hard to tell if what you were seeing was rain or false signals. Besides that issue, you think the app is quite good. After receiving my response, you went back to check and the clutter disappeared, even though the layer smoothing feature was already turned on. Thank you for the update.

    When I first got this app, I really liked it. I was fine with the ads since it's free after all. But recently, it keeps crashing and closing only a few seconds after I open it every time.

    I've been using this app for a few months now, and I've always found it to be very accurate. However, recently it started having problems predicting rain correctly. I reached out to Simon through a couple of emails, and he quickly fixed the issue. I'm really impressed with how fast he responded and resolved the problem.

    After I updated the app, it gave me a lot of trouble. Sometimes the radar wouldn't even load, so I had to keep opening and closing the app over and over. It used to be a good app, but now it's just frustrating to use. I tried updating it again, but it still had issues and didn't load the map or radar properly. I ended up uninstalling it because of the problems.

    I really like this app. It's straightforward and effective. Plus, I haven't had any annoying pop-up ads so far.

    One mistake I made was mixing up two developers, leading me to unfairly rate the app with just three stars. I walk a lot and really dislike rain, so finding this great app was awesome. It's perfect for my usual two-hour hikes in Perthshire. I did mention the cloud cover info could be clearer, but it seems like they've improved that based on my feedback. The app is excellent, and it's nice to have direct communication with the developer.

    Sure, I'll talk about the weather. On the 13th of April in 2019, the rain radar wasn't working and it said 'rain radar has stopped'. But then, on the 15th of April, it started working again. So that's good news. Thanks for your efforts!
