About this app

Raindar II is an updated recreation of an Android app that worked up to Android 9 but hasn't been updated since 2013. Raindar II aims to support most features of the old app and works on Android 4.4 through the latest version of Android (Android 11).

Ratings and reviews

Been a Raindar fan since it 1st came out. Used the original til the wheels fell off. Updated to Raindar II: I'd still like to be able to tweak the geek radar parameters in settings. The animation loop is still great. Set to 6 frames, it shows an hour, and holds 2 counts on most recent frame. That's a total of 7 counts. Please hold for 3 counts, then it will be natural 8 beats like most music. Can't reset map rotation w/o returning to home loc. UI convention is 1st click, reset rotation; 2nd, loc

I've missed the old Raindar app for over a year now. And it's back! Maybe not the exact same but looks 10 times better than the rest! We just need a reliable solution for weather that's happening now and hopefully this one is like the last and if it shows it's about to rain you better believe it. I used to be able to predict a couple hours in advance and be within 10 minutes of when it would start raining. And on the Florida gulf coast it builds and disappears constantly. Dev please kill adds

I don't like all the extra "stuff". I always liked just the radar. I can get dozens of weather guesser apps. Also I dislike that the map displays at lat 0 / long 0, (the African continent) before grabbing the phone location and moving. Another example of taking a good product and trying to "improve" it only to make it worse.
