About this app

Live weather radar, nowcast and rain alerts, hyperlocal forecast and hurricane tracker. See, understand, and act on rain before it changes your plans.

Tracking a hurricane, watching a storm build, or checking if it's dry enough for a walk? RainViewer shows the actual rain on the weather radar map, in seconds, direct from the radar source. 10 million downloads across iOS and Android rely on RainViewer for live rain radar.

Radar wins the map screen. Built with Material 3: fewer buttons, more radar. A layer indicator always shows which layer you see: Radar, Satellite, Forecast, Temperature, Rainfall Totals, or Radar + Satellite. The timeline marks every radar frame. Fullscreen mode clears the interface for a clean screenshot or screencast. Tablets and foldables get a proper landscape layout.

Ratings and reviews

Had high hopes but it's an absolute NO! I suggest you consider something else. The reason I got this app and paid for the pro version was to have notifications of upcoming rain. over the last 3 days I've seen 7-10 notifications saying rain is coming, and never did, not even once. The live radar shown enormous clouds and storms co.onh directly over my neighborhood, only to not see a drop of rain. I just don't get how it can be this inaccurate, but it is.

it was cool when I first installed it but a couple days later it was completely flooded with bs ads like you can view it for 2-3 seconds and then it was ads for 8 or 10 seconds and then it went back to the app for about 2 seconds. I understand you got to have ads to support etc but you're going about it the wrong way this is completely stupid. I was 100% going to get the supported version but y'all just pissed me off. I couldn't even see how good it was or wasn't.

From what I could see the app itself was decent. I liked the layout and data organization. But, the ads were intrusive, especially the Temu ones. The lines of ads were not bad, but the full screen ones stopped me in my tracks, and one wrong click, and boom...it's opening my browser and taking me to God knows where. I was not ready to plop down $20 without more experience, so I deleted it. Maybe consider being ad free or less intrusive until I am hooked on the app. This was too easy to delete

What’s new

· KNOW HOW FRESH THE DATA IS: Tap the map on any layer - satellite, forecast, nowcast or Pro Radar - to see when its data was made, not only the frame time (Premium).
· The "Share" button is back on the map, below your location button. Send a radar video or GIF the same way as before.
