high hopes, and while it does have its merits, I can't help but feel a bit underwhelmed. Let's start with the positives—the animations are undeniably smooth. Navigating through the app is a visually pleasing experience, making it easy to check the weather updates with a touch of style. However, my enthusiasm took a hit when it came to the color scheme. The combination chosen can be a bit hard on the eyes, especially in bright lighting conditions. A more user-friendly color palette would greatly enhance the overall usability. Moving on to the rain prediction feature, it's functional, but it doesn't stand out from other weather apps. The accuracy is okay, but it doesn't offer any significant advantages over Apple's built-in weather app. What's more disappointing is the minute predictions being locked behind some restrictions. This limitation significantly reduces the app's potential for users who seek precise and up-to-the-minute forecasts. If the minute-by-minute predictions were available without restrictions, it could set this app apart. As it stands, the limited functionality makes it hard to justify using this over Apple's default weather app, which already provides minute-by-minute forecasts without any additional hurdles.
I can't wait to give this a spin. I feel I have tried every weather app (Darksky, Tomorrow, Weather.com, WeatherBug, NOAA, Apple, Googe, and others) and NONE have been very accurate. Now I settle for who has the best design. I am excited for hyperspecific forecasting. Thanks for your heard work to bring this to the market. What is included in the PAID version beyond hurricane tracking? Cheers! Andrew
I was sceptical about yet another weather app. But then I found myself using Rainbow regularly. It has a great feature that allows you to know in advance about the rain. It's not 100% accurate, but sometimes it was useful to be prepared. Also I like to observe the sky from satellite perspective and predict the rain myself. So I think Rainbow is useful app worth to try.
Love it, always looking for improved forecasts and so far the experience has been good. I'd be curious to learn more about whether there are any proprietary data sources that could further improve the forecasts. Is this a factor? Or do the open source data stream provide most of what is needed and it's primarily in the processing and analysis where there are gains to be made to yield improved accuracy? Congrats on the launch, keep on keeping on!
Interesting. Trying it out now. I'm not sure if the app uses the precipitation radar data in Singapore but hopefully it works here. PS: I also built my own Singapore-only weather app, but it doesn't have weather prediction because rain in Singapore is quite unpredictable too despite the small landcover.
Congratulations on the launch! Love the design! fun, professional, and informative. Not crowded while at the same time not lacking anything. Overall great job!
