5/5Outstanding Unique Design 5 Star App!
Being an ole Man who enjoys the Walks I am able to do with my cane 🦯 is important to me. So knowing what the weather is like and knowing that the app is accurate! This app is really Designed and it shows where the Developers have put a great deal of time hard work sweat and yes love into the coding of this software. A software that is designed for you myself and our family. Yes the app gives us the amounts of Rain so for me keeps me out of the Rain Puddles! So if you taken the time in your busy schedule to read this I hope you will download this Outstanding Unique Design App, and give it a try. What do you have to loose? ( nothing really ) I would like to add I have learned something from this app and being an ole Man that is hard to do “ ask my wife “ anyway Thanks Mr. Developer for putting out this App so an ole man could go WOW! So I Tip my Hat 🎩 to you and say Thanks. As I pick up my cane 🦯 to move on I have to smile I have a truly great App in my pocket and that for me makes me feel GREAT! Thanks for listening my friends.

5/5Very Helpful for Prescribed Burn Managers
I coordinate prescribed fire management for several different areas around southeast Georgia, some of which are not very close to my home base. This app is incredibly useful for burn planning! Especially during the rainy summer months where scattered afternoon showers could leave one area soaked, but skip the next town over, making it difficult to know if your burn unit is soaking wet or bone dry until you drive 2 hours and bring 12 people and all their equipment in. With this app, I can check the rainfall [of the exact site that we are hoping to burn] in the morning and give a confident confirmation or cancellation to the team before they even get in their trucks! It also helps with burn planning for units with duff, wetlands, and shrub encroachment. An absolute game changer. Highly recommend!

5/5Best of it’s kind
I am a self proclaimed weather nerd and this app hits the spot. I love how you can pinpoint an exact location and then are able to get precise information. We have a family cabin on the West Shore of Lake Tahoe in Tahoma. Not quite lake level but not too much higher. The location its own little micro climate. When snow is forecasted it’s impossible to know with any accuracy how much has fallen (if any) or will fall which makes heading to the cabin in the winter a bit unpredictable. cabin has received. Since none of us are lucky enough to live in Tahoe knowing just how much snow has fallen gives us an idea of how much shoveling we’ll need to do to access the cabin. Yes, this probably seems like a strange use of the app, but seriously it’s a winter game changer for all of us!

5/5Love this App
My iPhone weather app has never been reliable-it can be pouring down rain for hours and the next day the app will say we received- .01. It rarely matches with my rain monitor so I downloaded PRECIP and wow I have been so happy. The accuracy is amazing. The developer is also very helpful when I had a question. This is a must have if you need more accurate data to farm, garden or inform your family or friends (everyone loves to talk about the weather, right!). I have only used the free portion but after my surgery and I can go back to work, I intend to get the full version.

5/5Usually quite accurate for rain
I like to cross check Precip’s totals with my backyard rain gauge and it is surprisingly accurate. Also like to compare their totals for different areas of our small (pop. 20K) town. The snowfall totals aren’t always as accurate but measuring snowfall total is a hit and miss endeavor depending on winds, temperatures, and moisture content throughout the snow event. Since we travel long distance frequently, it is handy to know snowfall levels that we’re headed into or what we have to shovel when we return. :-)
