Ratings and reviews

It's a pretty good app, a bit clumsy on the UI but not bad. The only really frustrating thing is that you can only get cumulative graphs not daily, and you can only view one calendar month at a time. It would be really useful, I think, to be able to look at various periods, such as past 7 days, past 30, or past 365, etc, and to be able to view daily rainfall, cumulative rainfall (current output), and average rainfall over these periods. I think this would make this app the best of it's kind!

Exactly what I was looking for (first day of use, so maybe bugs and flaws come up in the future, but perfect for now). I wanted a high-tech weather station on my roof, but I bought a simple manual rain gauge at the end (more reliable. Just do some research in forums: Even expensive ones have severe problems with accuracy, fail after some months, or at least years, and force you to connect to cloud services).

Agree with earlier review: I may not use this unless rainfall can be recorded in hundredths of inches. Should be simple to add a decimal point. Suggest allowing typed data entry vs. scroll wheel. Another suggestion is to allow a rainfall entry to span across several days in case gauge can not be checked for a few days. Thanks!
