Точность по минутам и доплеровский радар для профессионалов
Метеоэнтузиасты и профессиональные пользователи отмечают точность радара — особенно в Европе с доплеровскими скоростями.
Best meteorological app in Europe. One of the only few that have doppler velocities for EU. Truly amazing for weather enthusiasts!
Rain Viewer accurately shows rain coming in from some time/distance away, and accurately informs in time when it will arrive, how severe it is. It is a valuable app for me.
So far, it's been accurate, somtimes matching the minutes. Like in some places velocity radar

Радарный виджет ломается после обновлений
Виджет с радаром систематически показывает ошибку подключения после каждого крупного обновления — проблема известная, но не решается месяцами.
Pro user. Old bug fixed. New bug. The Radar widget has a "Connection Error" message. All other widgets are working. The app works when opened.
Radar widget stopped working completely. Just says connection error. Uninstalled and reinstalled. Same thing. And I sent you an email.
April 2026: "server error" still preventing radar for Denmark, widget broken for months.
Радар показывает интенсивный дождь там, где сухо
Пользователи фиксируют устойчивое несоответствие: карта «заливает» регион красным, а в реальности нет ни капли осадков.
The app is extremely inaccurate! I'm talking about map showing heavy rain clouds in my area and there's no actual rain anywhere near! Also rain cloud cover projections change every 5 minutes so the 2 hour forecast is useless
Info is always wrong...Not sometimes, always. when it's raining it says it doesn't; when it's not raining it says it is.
Used to be a good Dark Sky substitute, but has become unusable due to constant unable to find weather data errors.
Агрессивные полноэкранные рекламные блоки в бесплатной версии
Полноэкранные объявления прерывают работу с картой, случайные клики открывают браузер — пользователи уходят, не успев оценить функциональность.
I constantly get full screen ads that I have to wait on to time out. I wanted to just try the free version before upgrading but the stream of full screen ads just makes me feel like I'm being railroaded into a paid tier.
l love the app, HOWEVER NOW THE APP IS TOTALLY SCREWED UP SINCE YOU NOW HAVE ADS THAT INTERCEPT AND TOTALLY TAKE OVER THE APP CONTENT.
you can't view more than 2h ahead in the free version but it does have overwhelming detail and accuracy
Спорные настройки приватности при первом запуске
Новые пользователи сталкиваются с десятками предустановленных разрешений на передачу данных третьим сторонам — приложение удаляют сразу.
Horrible privacy settings. You will have to uncheck countless setting. Uninstalled after first opening. Absolutely horrible.
App developers disclose they share location data with 3rd parties. Be better.
There is so much data tracking here and no easy way to turn it all off: it destroys all trust.
