Introducing RainDrop - Your Virtual Rain Gauge!

Ever looked outside and wondered, “How much rain did we get?” Whether you’re a farmer like my dad, who needs to know how much rain his fields have received, or someone who takes care of a garden, lawn, or works outside, knowing about rain is super important. My dad needed to know how much rain fell on his crops. He looked everywhere but couldn’t find the right answer. So, I made RainDrop just for him - and now, for you too!

RainDrop is like magic and it is the best app for rainfall totals. It tells you exactly how much rain fell right where you need to know. No more guessing or wondering. It’s like having your very own rain gauge that fits in your pocket. Whether it’s your backyard, your farm, or somewhere else, RainDrop knows.


With RainDrop, you can:

- Put a virtual rain gauge anywhere on a map to see how much rain fell there.

- Determine if location is muddy based on how much it rained

- See if it rained more or less than usual. Are you above or below the average? RainDrop tells you.

- Check daily rainfall totals from yesterday, last week, or even last year. RainDrop remembers all that for you.

- Share with friends how much rain you got.


Right now, it only knows about rain in the United States (but not in Hawaii, Alaska, or US territories...yet!).

At RainDrop, it's just Rylan and Sai, a tiny team of two, working constantly to make RainDrop even better for you. We care deeply about ensuring it meets everyone's needs and even offer a chat feature so you can communicate with us directly.

We made RainDrop simple so anyone can use it. You don’t need to be a tech wizard. If my non tech-savvy dad can use it, you can too!

What’s even cooler? RainDrop has a free version that’s really handy. But if you want a bunch of virtual rain gauges and extra features, you can get RainDrop Pro.

So, whether you need to keep tabs on the rain for your business, check the conditions of the golf course, or use it for hundreds of other use cases, RainDrop has got you covered. Download it now and stay informed about the rainfall without even needing to be there!


****Main Features****


- Add virtual rain gauges on a map to see rainfall totals.

- Look at past rainfall totals: 24hr, 48hr, 72hr, 7 day, 30 day, 60 day, 180 day, 365 day, MTD (Month to Date), and YTD (Year to Date)

- View daily rainfall totals dating back to January 2023.

- Check how much your virtual rain gauge compares to your local average over the last 30 years.

- View rainfall total deviations from average for 7 day, 30 day, 60 day, 180 day, 365 day, MTD (Month to Date), and YTD (Year to Date)

- Tap the map to see rainfall totals in the last 24 hours.

- Easily compare rainfall totals at the different spots you've pinned.

- View a simple list of your rain gauges and how much rain each got.

- Change or remove your rain gauges.

Please note that the rainfall estimates may not align precisely with your rain gauge readings. Predicting rainfall in a highly localized area is challenging. The app provides estimates within a 1km x 1km radius of your pinned location, utilizing radar, satellite, and various rain gauges scattered across the United States. Also be aware that during windy rainstorms, your physical rain gauge readings may differ from these estimates. However, in conditions where rain falls vertically, the app's estimates tend to closely match your rain gauge.

Great App

I’ve only had this app a couple of weeks, but so far it’s doing quite well. I normally don’t rate apps til I’ve had them for a while, but the customer service here has been fantastic. I had a couple of questions, and Rylan answered them very quickly. I had a couple more questions, and right back he came with answers.
As long as you realize this app is a general indication of the amount of rainfall in your area, I believe you’ll be satisfied. Remember, it can rain several inches across the fence, and you won’t get a drop. Keep that in your mind when you use this app and you should be happy.

Pin drop

I love this app - but I was going to make a mention to this. Is there a way you can move the pin in your map? (Potential edit) and rearrange it or relocate it) without deleting it and stuff ?

I’ve shared this app with several farmer friends of mine that have also shared this. If you need a rural SC contact to advertise this app -please let me know - i would love to boast your app ( we are free farmers so we rely on rain) just as much as row crop farmers do.

Thanks !!!

Developer Response ,

Thank you for sharing the app! We are working on a new feature that will allow you to edit your pin positions.

Bait and switch

When I downloaded RainDrop a few weeks ago, you were allowed to have three rain gauges in the free version. This morning when I opened the app there was a notification that the free version now only allowed two gauges.
Fine, I get it, you’re trying to get subscribers, but taking away features doesn’t make users want to suddenly shell out $40-50/year. If anything it disincentivizes it. Add features that make the free users want to upgrade. Carrot vs. stick.
I’m not deleting it, but I am certainly not paying to get the data I previously had access to. And now the chances of me upgrading are next to zero.
