Comments on Rain Gauge App & Dark Sky Tech for Android

★★★★★ Kirsten Naylor · Jun 12, 2026

This is undoubtedly THE best weather app I have ever seen. It's constantly being maintained and improved. I have been using it for years now, I'm using the paid option and it was so worth it.

★★★★★ John Beekman · May 18, 2026

Great app, used it for years. Starting with a recent update, if I access the app via the widget, it will always default to the "Current" tab. Previous versions would remember the last tab used (10-Day, Hourly, etc.). Maybe make this an option?

★★★★★ Julian Ferry · Sep 16, 2026

Perfect balance of detail and simplicity. Premium is worth it, and the developers are very responsive to feedback. The precipitation map is the highlight and works globally - very useful for seeing how rain clouds are forming over the next few days!

★★★★★ gillian rixon · Jun 29, 2026

I have been using this app for a few years now. Can rely on its accuracy.

★☆☆☆☆ J. M. · Jul 20, 2026

Why am I seeing ads now? I paid for this app when it was Dark Skies and now there are ads and some very intrusive. I'm lowering my rating from five stars, this is terrible!

★☆☆☆☆ Bernie Piazza · May 27, 2026

Unfortunately this app went from my "go-to" weather app to "yuck, don't waste my time". Intrusive and obnoxious ads galore, made Radar history and forecast in Maps a premium cost feature, etc. buh bye
