An editorial reading of the saved reviews
An app with a unique niche for tracking rainfall for farmers and agronomists, and when the data matches a physical rain gauge it is irreplaceable. But systematically underreporting actual precipitation by 30-40% compared to physical measurements is the key accuracy problem.

Use it everyday as a farmer and an agronomist. Very accurate.
I really like the app. But the rain fall measurements sometimes they're correct other times they're incorrect a lot. Here at the ranch we got over 3" of rain. That is what's in the rain gauge. The app said the ranch got 1.85" of rain.
When I purchased Raindrop it showed how much rain I had gotten in past week, or 3-week period. This is how I could tell when I needed to water lawn. Now all the app provides is last day, 2 days, 3 days, and Month-to-Date. No longer usable to control watering for my lawn.
