Raincast - NOAA Home Screen Rain Probability and Percent Chance App Reviews

24 add

Dont waste your money

Its absolutely torrential down pouring and the app says 7%. Its never actually gone over 20% even when its POURING. Waste of money.

Battery killer

Uses full location services even when app is closed. Not worth it.

Wonderful

This app is simplistic and beautiful. Edit: 100% shows up as blank! :/

Great, but

LOVE the angle here. Rain is a regular worry where I live, so I am always monitoring the chance of rain. This is the only app that leads with that data point. BUT, I also really want to know the current temperature. And this totally ignores that. Which is weird. Those two data points seem far more telling combined than each is individually. Please add the temp and youve given me everything I need in a weather app all wrapped in a really great minimal design.

Nice

This is a nice app that works great. What I want to know most often, the quickest is; is it going to rain? It would be nice if they add a little graphic for temperate too.

Almost Perfect

Very beautiful design & love the Notification Center widget. Ive just noticed that the chance of rain updates very slowly or hardly at all. Please fix this to where it will update more frequently.

No updates unless app is open

The app badge and the widget do not update unless the app is running in the background. What a hassle. Take a queue from the Fahrenheit app and do it right.

Sleek & Functional

Love the widget! Well-designed app with accurate forecasts and great functionality. The rain alerts are a great feature.

iOS 8.0.2 not supported

The app crashed using iOS 8.0.2. Please fix this issue.

Crash

Please fix the bug,RIGHT NOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Function Pitiful

What good is the widget when you have to open the app for the widget to update? I use the widget because I dont want to have to open the app.

Love this app

This app has been a lifesaver. It reminds me every morning what the chance of rain is then AND when I get off work. I havent been caught without an umbrella yet! Thanks for this simple and effective app!!

Perfect!

So useful and the widget is outstanding!

Location!!!!!!!

I am sure I am not the only person who does not read everything about the app. If I like the user interface I will buy it! Disappointed to pay $2 only to find it wont work in South Africa. Please update locations so I can at least use this app that is now a waste of money and not useful on my iPhone.

Looks great but hey, I dont know.

Love the UI of this app, looks great. Seems to work well. Thats what I hear. Only, I dont know how well it works, whats cool and whats not. Because, like 6.7 billion other people, I dont live in the U.S. REALLY?! If you want your app to be used by as many people as possible, try to target the other few billion people that live outside of your country. I just spent how much? On an app that I cant use? AT LEAST YOU COULD SAY! Really not pleased about this. At all.

Doesnt auto update.

I have the app running in the multitasking background, location privacy is set to always and back ground app refresh is set to on. Yet the app does not auto update as it is suppose to. Shows percentage from day or night before. Doesnt update unless you open up the actual app and even the you have to hit the refresh arrow icon. Not cool for $2 and not having a feature this app is best know for.

Update problem

App simply will not update unless its opened AND the Refresh button is tapped. This defeats the purpose of having a home screen widget, which is perpetually out of date. App is good once its fixed.

Support is excellent

I live in the Netherlands and downloaded this app thinking it would work. It does not work outside the U.S. I emailed the company and they quickly responded with a refund. I was super impressed with their responsiveness and kindness regarding the situation. Rooting for them to make the best weather app and then expand outside the US. :)

Appealing bar interface

Not accurate Use WeatherPro instead

Really great app

I love being able to see what the chance of rain is without opening another weather app. Its just always there to help me know. Its very accurate.
