### **--- "Worse lately"
This app is only 50% accurate now.  I used to be able to time my lunch hours and store runs.
-- Carlsoni, 2025-11-16

-- Debdeb01, 2025-10-18

### *---- "do not waste your money"
this app no longer updates and no longer sends notifications.
-- RichHertz007, 2025-10-13

### ***-- "At one point it was the authority"
It has NOT been as good or accurate and I would not pay for it now. I paid for this app 8 years ago, I would not pay for it today
-- Usedtopraisethisapp, 2025-09-06

### **--- "Totally wrong!"
Last couple days it’s literally raining on me, and Rain Aware says nothing!
-- Susanz6029, 2025-08-19

-- Bad Push, 2025-07-28

### *---- "Offline"
Does not work.
-- Mudluddle, 2025-07-12

### ***-- "You never Know!"
It will tell you it’s going to rain, then disappear, then say rain stopping in an hour, etc—before a drop ever falls. So, not very reliable.
-- ertyvv, 2025-07-08

### ***** "Rain Aware"
Raining
-- Toolie141, 2025-07-06

### **--- "Disappointed in Metairie LA"
Loosing its accuracy! It used to be much more accurate and dependable. Hard to depend on it now!
-- 🇺🇸🥶, 2025-07-06

### ****- "Fair on accuracy"
Weather app, which was free tends to be as accurate, if not more so. Right now it says &quot;dry&quot; for next few hours, yet it is sprinkling. It&#039;s interesting to check out, but disappointed  in the accuracy. For the price, I expected better. Should have been $ .99
-- @itsnotanygood#19872, 2025-06-30

### ***** "Reliable - Accurate - Worth Every Penny"
One of the very few apps that I can reliably use as a Golf Pro Shop Manager in Mercer County  central NJ that can give up to the minute accurate forecasts in a micro climate up to the minute with radar accuracy! You can set your watch by the predicted shower estimates times of arrival as well as length of rain or snow
-- ZZB, 2025-06-26

### **--- "Not reliable"
I’m on my way to Home Depot so I check Rewa. It says dry possibly rain in three hours. I get to Home Depot and when I come out it’s pouring. And now the app says it’s drizzling and.
-- Lyn336tampa, 2025-06-19

### ***** "Great job well done"
Love your site in joy site all the time every day 
365 Days a year
-- DW Walker Texas Ranger, 2025-06-17

Compared to other apps this is the least accurate
-- Toomuchfuss, 2025-05-28
