Our verdict on Buienradar

Buienradar is a weather app for Android phones and tablets, built around rain-radar imagery and precipitation forecasts. Its radar views cover the next three and 24 hours, while a rain graph shows expected timing and millimeters. A 14-day forecast includes hourly detail for the first week. It suits people who want to track rain closely, including through customizable alerts, widgets or a Wear OS companion app; those seeking a less rain-centered weather experience may prefer another app.

Forecasting is the product’s clearest strength. Alongside rain radar, Buienradar offers maps for storms, snow, wind and temperature, plus worldwide location support. Customizable rain alerts and push notifications can help users follow changing precipitation, while widgets bring the rain graph onto a device’s home screen. The mix is useful for precipitation tracking across phone, tablet and watch, though the product’s feature emphasis remains radar and weather forecasts rather than a broader set of non-weather tools.

Buienradar has a free version supported by advertising. The published Plus plan costs €3.49 per year and removes advertisements; the paid tier’s listed benefit is ad removal, rather than additional forecast features. That makes the choice straightforward for users comfortable with ads or those who want an ad-free version. Choose Buienradar for detailed rain timing, multiple weather maps and Wear OS access; consider an alternative if rain is not a priority or if the main reason to pay would be extra forecasting capabilities.
