Comments on Rain Gauge & Dark Sky Tech for Android

★★★★★ Tony Greenwood · Jun 25, 2026

So far the app seems very good. I have paid for the premium option which gives you a lot more info. I installed it on my Pixel watch too but that keeps saying it needs payment for premium. Not sure if you have to pay for both. Needs more investigation. But overall I like it. UPDATE.... I did find that my Pixel 4 was in battery saver mode when I first tried it. After a charge it all came good. The app is excellent on my watch and even better on my phone. I would definitely recommend.

★★★★★ Jbj Beresford · Apr 7, 2026

I use several weather apps, which usually give different forecasts! This forecast is pretty accurate generally & the radar function, particularly the new prediction is particularly useful. Simply being able to find weather all around the word is a great feature too. Thank you & for the way you've enhanced it over the past months that I've used 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?

★★★★☆ DJOManchester · Apr 18, 2026

Lovely design. Bought a month subscription. With apps, I'd suggest need to have option to be transparent. Current default is black. Doesn't look fab on home screen. Foreca weather is accurate whereas WeatherKit is rubbish. Looking at Colwyn Bay in Wales. It's going to rain Monday. Foreca is correct. FYI best weather app by far is Today Weather. Worth looking at that app my default. Today Weather for functionality, Yahoo weather for beauty and AccuWeather does what says. Good luck!

★☆☆☆☆ Andrew Batista · Jul 21, 2026

This used to be a great app that I would recommend to everybody. Then they moved nearly all functionality behind a paywall. Radar is completely limited to the current time, and forget knowing what the weather will be like throughout the day because the forecast only goes out to the next 3 hours. Without shelling out money, this app is now about as useful as looking out the window. Skip this, there are plenty of adequate weather apps that will give you reasonable weather data for free.

★☆☆☆☆ 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

★☆☆☆☆ Jake Hesse · Jul 12, 2026

For a paid ap, it's really gone downhill. 7/11/26 now there's a ridiculous amount of ads. Dumb.
