I have it on my MacBook Pro and my iPhone. The storm season here has me tracking several hundred storms over the years. I’ve used it through Hurricane Matthew, Irma, and Dorian (and plenty of other tropical storms). This app does it all and so much more that I could write a book on it. I’ve struggled to find certain details like specific rotation data inside a supercell storm, the correlation coefficient to detect tornado debris, decent hurricane reflectivity to see structure of the rain bands as well as the rotation within (I live in Florida), or just basic resolution to see what part of the storm will hit my location. This app does a beautiful job with with its radar display.

Most radar apps have a smoothing algorithm that obliterates storm structure. I first downloaded this app in 2013 when a meteorologist mentioned it after I was complaining about how I struggled to find a decent one. I have been a weather nerd since I was a little kid, and I’m a trained Skywarn Storm Spotter. It’s easy to use, provides loads of data, and is decently priced. It just gets somewhat frustrating when a friend tells me that he is near a cell in a certain city, there are dozens of warnings out, and I have to first find the city on a map before going to the warning this friend is referring to. Even if more cities showed up as I zoom in, that would be completely fine. The one thing that I dislike is that there isn’t any traditional map of roads, as well as certain cities that don’t show up entirely. As I have learned about and experience weather more and more, I’ve really shifted from the mindset of asking why people would pay for all of the features to being able to see why there’s a paywall. Yeah, there is a pretty big paywall, but you already get loads and loads of data for free. After getting this app and learning a ton more, it is one of the best radars out there. I couldn’t really identify storm structures in person, let alone on radar. When I bought the app, I was definitely not the target audience. As of right now, unfortunately I am forced to quick select the ones given and have to scroll a lot for the ones I want to see. I would especially like to see the super res of reflectivity, velocity, specific differential phase, and correlation coefficient. I would love to have the choice of what four radars I can choose from when holding down on it. It would make it a lot more enjoyable for me and would help me to know exactly what houses or businesses are being affected rather than general locations.Īnother feature I would like to see is the ability to change the four quick select radars. Even if it was just something where I pressed my finger and it pulled up the latitude and longitude coordinates so I could search them. I wish there was a feature that allowed me to see the precise location of where certain storms are. The only problem is when I see the storms, I can only see the general location of the storm with respect to cities. I enjoy watching the radar and looking at storms even when they’re not near me, especially tornado warned storms. I have nothing to complain about, however I do wish there was one added feature that would greatly improve it.

I love this radar app and it’s by far the best on the market. One of the top apps of any kind and one I will subscribe to without hesitation every year. As with the basic version of this app, the cost is there but well worth it: this radar and all the features are the some of the best things on my phone.

I bought the upgraded pro version and like the additional features: longer loops and lightening info. Absolutely one of the best purchases I've ever made for my iOS devices-beautiful on the iPad, crucial app on the phone, and a very informative glance at the radar on the watch. This is THE radar application, far superior to any other out there. Update: the developer keeps refining an already brilliant application. I'm a weather novice, but I definitely want to know where the storms are, where they're going, and how much rain we'll get. It has many features that I have not yet used, but i hope to learn them soon. This one is precise and quick-so far is has never been more than a minute or two before it updates and most often it is up to the moment. The other apps disappointed- they have been inaccurate or slow to update. I had purchased several others and put off this one because of the price. The other reviewers are right- this is the best radar and well worth the cost.
