RadarScope App Description & Overview

What is radarscope app? RadarScope is a specialized display utility for weather enthusiasts and meteorologists that allows you view NEXRAD Level 3 and Level 2 radar data along with tornado, severe thunderstorm, flash flood, special marine and snow squall warnings, and predicted storm tracks issued by the U.S. National Weather Service. It can display the latest reflectivity, velocity, dual-polarization, and other products from any NEXRAD or TDWR radar site in the United States, Guam, Puerto Rico, Korea, and Okinawa, as well as data from Environment Canada, Australian Bureau of Meteorology, Finnish Meteorological Institute, and German Weather Service radars. These aren't smoothed images, this is native radar data rendered in its original radial format for a high level of detail.

Whether you are scanning reflectivity for a mesocyclone's tell-tale hook echo, trying to pinpoint the landfall of a hurricane's eye wall, or looking for small features like velocity couplets in the storm relative radial velocity product, RadarScope gives you the power to view true radial weather radar data.

RadarScope displays tornado, severe thunderstorm, flash flood, special marine, and snow squall warnings issued by the U.S. National Weather Service. You can browse the list of active warnings, select a warning to view the details, and even zoom to the selected warning on the map.

Pinch or stretch to zoom in and out. Drag your finger around the map to scroll. Tap the radar sweep button in the toolbar to switch radars. Select one of the 289 different radars in the United States, Canada, Australia, Germany, Korea, Puerto Rico, Guam, or Okinawa. Plot your current location by tapping the location button and optionally report it to the Spotter Network. Tap the play button to download and animate over recent images. Display the names of over 25,000 cities and towns on the map as you zoom and scroll. Tap and hold the color legend to see the data values.

Meanwhile, RadarScope will retrieve and display updated data automatically and intelligently (approximately every 2 to 10 minutes, depending on the radar scan strategy).

You can display radar data from our servers, NOAA's public access web site, or your Allison House subscriber account. Spotter Network members can report their location and view the locations of other spotters.

RadarScope Pro is an optional auto-renewing subscription with two different tiers to choose from.

RadarScope Pro Tier One is an annual subscription that provides access to real-time animated lightning data and up to 30 frames of radar data, including extended loops of super-resolution data. Tier One subscribers can also access a data interrogation tool to quickly determine data values for specific radar pixels and an optional dual-pane mode for viewing two radar products side-by-side.

RadarScope Pro Tier Two is an annual or monthly subscription that combines all the features in Tier One with more advanced features, including 50-frame loops, SPC outlooks, special weather statements, mesoscale discussions, local storm reports, hail size and probability contours, and azimuthal shear contours in the U.S., a 30-day archive of all radar products, a 2-year archive of NEXRAD Level 3 radar products, a full historical archive of NEXRAD Level 2 products, and the ability to use subscription features across multiple platforms.

If you choose to buy the RadarScope Pro subscription, it will charged to your iTunes account. The subscription will be auto-renewed within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period at the same price you originally paid. Subscriptions may be managed and auto-renewal disabled via your iTunes Account Settings after the purchase. Once purchased, the subscription cannot be cancelled during the active subscription period.

Best professional weather app I have ever used! +One suggestion. I use RadarScope every day to view different storms that pop up on a storm active day. (I want to become a storm chaser/meteorologist one day) This app is very useful and very cool to use and interpret different storm’s details, locating rotation, seeing how tall the storm is, and much, much more. In my opinion, this is Radar Omega but 5 of them combined. Now with the suggestion, I would like it if you could change the color of he Draw Tool, wether that would be very customizable like a color wheel, or just like 5 or more colors already sorted to choose. But overall, this is the best app I have ever used for professional weather enthusiasts, if you are reading this and leaning towards getting RadarScope, DO IT! This app is awesome! 5/5 stars all the way

Suggestion. I love the app and all of that. All I wish is that you guys would add a couple things like your able to change the refresh time so like you could have it set to liek 30 secs and if there’s a new scan it would pop up because now it takes like 4-8 mins and I think you guys should add special weather statements I think that would be cool too. And that your able to change the color of the warning so like if you want a blue outline for a confirmed tornado on the the ground or a pink outline for a tornado emergency or a different color for a svr thunderstorm warning if you want if that makes sense. And have hail tracks and see the size of it and you could see what percent of hail you could get and what size of hail it is if that makes sense and better road maps if that that makes sense but other than that I love your guys app and hopefully it will be better in the future

Nice app if you can figure out the features. The app seems to be feature rich but my problem is the “User Guide”. It is hardly a guide. For example there are a series of icons across the bottom, one of which is allows you to identify where you currently are on the map. Well if you hit this a second time a small angular wedge appears and it slowly rotates around. There is nothing that I can find that tells us what this feature is doing for us. I can find nothing that describes the other icons on the base of the display. The other support detail is thin too. Sorry to say I need a bit more before I can pay for a Pro account much less the highest level Pro account.

Class of the Field. Started using this app years ago and I’ve always been a weather geek because I’m from the great state of Oklahoma, so ya know…hail the size of softballs, not to mention the frequent violent tornado or 10. Unrivaled accuracy and ridiculous amount of radar access. This is literally the “go-to” for meteorologists and storm spotters who need precise measurements and information in order to forewarn the public of potentially life threatening weather conditions. Because of RadarScope I have broadened my knowledge and have became an amateur storm spotter myself. My family and friends now contact me to give them the 411 if and when the weather gets chippy. I’m sure at first glance a lot of people see the price for the app and balk at it, but I’ma tell ya this much…the juice is well worth the squeeze.

Worth it. This is the only weather app I’ve ever found that shows doppler radar velocity data (even though velocity measurements is what puts the “doppler” in “doppler radar”, it’s shockingly difficult to get velocity data from a given doppler radar) ... I’m not sure why it’s so hard to obtain basic radar data, but these guys have it figured out. They have most every radar laid out on the map and you select the radar you want and look at whatever data you want from it. It’s simple and elegant, and I’ll easily pay $10 to not have to figure out how they did this (because I’ve tried, and it wasn’t fun:)

The MUST HAVE Advanced Radar App. While this may be above the heads of the general public, if you’re a knowledgeable weather enthusiast, student, professional - this is THE MUST HAVE radar app. I would be lost without RadarScope. It has a very simple interface and every radar product you could imagine. I use this app when I go storm chasing and have full confidence in its performance while in the field. Additionally, creating loops and screenshots for media could not be easier. I really cannot speak more highly about this app. Price is $10, but I would happily pay $100 for a product like this.

Needs a couple more features. I love this radar app and it’s by far the best on the market. I have nothing to complain about, however I do wish there was one added feature that would greatly improve it. I enjoy watching the radar and looking at storms even when they’re not near me, especially tornado warned storms. The only problem is when I see the storms, I can only see the general location of the storm with respect to cities. I wish there was a feature that allowed me to see the precise location of where certain storms are. 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. 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. Another feature I would like to see is the ability to change the four quick select radars. I would love to have the choice of what four radars I can choose from when holding down on it. I would especially like to see the super res of reflectivity, velocity, specific differential phase, and correlation coefficient. 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.

App not working. I downloaded this app at the recommendation of a friend. After installing, I got the What’s New screen. When I tapped Done,I was taken to just a map, with a small pencil at the top left corner. My friend sent me a picture of his app, and I had none of the menu options at all but he does. I uninstalled and reinstalled the app thinking there may be a glitch. This time it was worse than the first, because the blue pencil didn’t show up until I tapped around the screen in various places. I’m going to press for a refund, because this is obviously not a working application for me. I have a screenshot if that was available. **Update- I just went to their app support, and watched one of the videos for iOS. I get nothing on my screen like what is demonstrated there.

Very Good App... Paying Extra Though. This app is amazing, it shows all you need at first. But my only problem is with the $10 just to get it you have to pay an extra $10 annually for the first pro tier, and $15 a month or $100 annually for the second pro tier. With the first tier you get the dual window feature as well as a lightning indicator, the second tier gives you all of what the first one does but as well as local updates and a whole lot more. I think for the $10 price tag you should get a lot of these features, or instead of subscription to just let you buy the actual tiers instead of having subscriptions. I just think with the prices that it makes it kind of unfair to people during bad seasons if they need local updates.

A must have for everybody in tornado alley. I have bought numerous weather apps and compared them all within the last two years. This is hands-down the most accurate, up-to-date, and easy to use app you will find out there. While most other weather apps seem blotchy, this app looks like it’s running in 4K @ 244HZ 🙌🏻😌 thank you to the creators of this app, I am one extremely satisfied customer. Also, I think it would be a really cool idea if you had links to tutorial videos about reading different overlays, what to look for when spotting a tornado on a radar, ect.

A live look at weather data. I'm a novice user, learning about the different readings coming from the radar, but even with currently only understanding percipitation and velocity, this app is a million times better than any other radar app because the data is live. During a storm, it doesn't help much to see radar data that is ten to thirty minutes old unless you're looking at tracking info. I'm a map geek, and I love data, both likely important to why I love this app. Also, this app only provides data. I believe it's some of the same data that helps meteorologists forecast weather, but the app doesn't forecast. So if you only want to know what the weather will be like later today or tomorrow, I doubt this app is for you.

All I Need and More!⭐️. If I could give it 6/5 stars I would! RadarScope might be a professional radar app, but that doesn’t mean an amateur like me can’t use it. I love the SuperRes radars that show the smallest bits of individual rain pixels, and not lump them together into some kind of makeshift cloud like most other apps. With this app I’ve become the de facto “Weather Nerd” for my friends, and oftentimes I tell them to watch the radar even before some local meteorologists. Using and understanding the Velocity and Reflectivity radars together helped me accurately know when a potential tornado producing storm was going to impact me and my friends, and made sure we were safe. Other apps like Weatherbug and The Weather Channel just can’t compare or compete with how great this radar is.

Best what is happening now weather app. If you want to know what’s happening right now with the best graphics, this is the best app. I would also use in with conjunction with Dark Sky. Dark Sky is great for what will happen in the future but the colors for DS aren’t the best. This app has been invaluable to me knowing exactly where the clouds are and where they’re going. Once I was traveling without a coat and it was raining REALLY hard. I noticed on here the severe storm only had a little more to go and then would be clear after. I ducked in for dinner and I knew I was good. You don’t need the extra super duper upgrades but I upgraded to the first tier since it’s fun to see the lightning. It is also nice that it shows the severe weather warnings and outlines exactly where the warning is for.

Don’t listen to the 1 and 2 star reviews. Please read. First off, the people who are giving 1 stars probably don’t have a clue what they are looking at, the issues most people have on here are not radarscope’s fault, if your not even remotely into weather it can prove more difficult to interpret. That’s not radarscopes fault it’s the fault of the user. Radars are tools used by professionals, amateurs and ordinary people, the radar doesn’t lie on what it sees. If a radar isn’t updating it’s possible the NWS location (which is where the ap gets the data from) has issues, that’s not the apps fault. Sure the ap isn’t perfect but it’s hands down, it’s the best radar available on a phone or iPad. No other can even scratch the surface of what radarscope provides. For weather nerds is worth every dime. Easily able to add other data to get even more out of the radar.

Long time customer !. I will say the app is excellent for what it is intended for. I bought it when it came out. I can’t remember how far back I don’t know maybe 12 or more years ago. I bought it for about $ 25 or so for pro life time in the beginning when that was outrageous for a app. But I loved it. The problem is the have deactivated the restore feature. They keep trying to sell me to it for $99 days a year. This is fine for all the new customers. But I bought it once for an lifetime membership. So there respectability stinks. They do not treat the original customers properly. They found out they have a marketable app. They don’t care to treat the ones who launched the app purchases and showed them it would work. I do get to keep me low level functioning app updating though. If this is not so tell me Tech support. Yours truly an original customer. That is why I rated this product a one star.

One of the only radar apps to rely on. I’ve been using RadarScope for several years now, I use it as my primary method of monitoring changing weather conditions. I have a large interest in severe weather and this allows me to monitor many conditions that contribute to such, both in my home state and elsewhere. I think one good adaptation for the app in the future would be a vehicle-safe edition for Apple CarPlay. Being able to see what you’re driving into if something pops up suddenly would be really helpful, and could possibly integrate an auto-updating, real time location tracker so you can see where you are relative to any weather in your area.

Ultimate Weather App. Living in tornado alley, I specifically got this app to look at radar velocity which can help identify rotation within thunderstorms. I was demonstrating this exact feature of the app to someone when I caught the telltale signs of rotation from a storm 30 miles to the South. Sure enough, the tornado warning came through just a few minutes later. It was amazing to watch this happen in real time. That’s just one of the amazing features that Radar Scope offers. My personal favorite is the directional lines for the path of each storm. No more guessing where the storm is headed. While I’m not a big fan of the cost for Pro2, the Pro1 plan still offers a plethora of advanced features. Also great to finally find a weather app that isn’t bogged down with ads. I highly recommend this app for weather trackers, chasers, and anyone like me that obsesses over the science of weather.

Don’t believe the haters. I have to laugh when I read a negative review comparing RadarScope to Weather Channel or any TV or national app. If you understand anything at all about radar products beyond “green is good, red is bad”, this app is for you. If you understand SR velocity, this app is for you. My 15yo daughter loves this app as well, tracking significant storms around the country and asking me about the precipitation and velocity products, comparing what we see with media reports in the aftermath. It’s amazing to her how we can predict how bad the damage is from what we see on radar. Ever since her grandmother was killed in a tornado a few years ago, while we watched the radar signature from miles away, she’s been a disciple. Thank you again WDT for the best weather app available. It’s well worth the investment.

NWS instructor said this was the best. I took a National Weather Service weather spotter class (highly recommended for weather nerds). During class, I asked the instructor about apps; he didn’t want to be quoted favoring one over another. After class, he came up to me and said “Radar Scope”. I’ve played with all the advanced apps and this is one of the best, if not the best. The guy was a meteorologist. “Do I go to the basement or not?” - a key question in tornado country when a weather alarm goes off. This and a few other apps give projected storm tracks. If I tap on the icon for the cell, I can pull up detail on storm characteristics. I can see when I need to go to the basement and when I can (warily) stay upstairs

Great Radar App vs Competition. I have been using RadarScope for several years, but am always looking for good weather and radar apps. I recently downloaded another radar app, the only other one that can rival RadarScope in my opinion, but it is just so clunky and cluttered compared to RadarScope. Both have similar features but RadarScope is such a nice looking app by comparison. Recently in some strong storms, living in KS, we get our share of them, I ran these 2 apps side by side and RadarScope’s imaging was a little nicer and it had a little less lag. Since both are using the same NOAA radar data, it was great to see my favorite of the two getting more up to date radar images slightly faster. While this could have been an internet issue somewhere on the end of an app, RadarScope shined and you could see the tornado couplets very clearly without other unnecessary data showing on the map other than radar. Lastly, the widget features of RadarScope is so nice. Having radar always showing on my Home Screen is super handy for a quick view of things. Others lack this feature. Excellent work RadarScope. Thanks for a fast, clean looking app!

Great App, Double Charged. This is definitely one of the top radar apps out there, and has some great advanced features. One of my favorite is the storm tracks and ability to draw on the radar itself (this in in addition to the multitude of radar “types” and tilts on each. This is for more advanced users, so may be overkill if you just want a general idea when precip is coming, but is top notch for advanced users, and Skywarn Spotters. For those willing to learn, however, this is one of two I primarily use. That said, be aware, you will be charged twice. Once when you download the app (for recurring subscription apps, normally this is your first week/month/year of service) you get charged, but then once you open the app, you have to pay again for the subscription. (At least this is all I can assume, as Apple denied my request for refund twice, after I was charged a second time, of course with no explanation). I love the app and will continue to use it, but be aware that you will pay double your first year if you want the advanced features.

Best radar. The other reviewers are right-- this is the best radar and well worth the cost. I had purchased several others and put off this one because of the price. The other apps disappointed-- they have been inaccurate or slow to update. 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. And the accuracy has been brilliant. It has many features that I have not yet used, but i hope to learn them soon. 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. This is the best radar by far! Update: the developer keeps refining an already brilliant application. This is THE radar application, far superior to any other out there. 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. I bought the upgraded pro version and like the additional features: longer loops and lightening info. 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. One of the top apps of any kind and one I will subscribe to without hesitation every year.

happy early adopter. I purchased this app for iPad v.1 just before flying to OkC OK... way back when, showed my friend and he immediately purchased ! Since then, I’ve introduced many friends to this wonderful no bs app, and am happy to report, none have complained. In fact compliments are usually received ;) These new updates are really nice !! I appreciate the ability to see beyond the "radar ring"... again. Living near the coast (PNW) it allows just a little more info for brain processing ;) And the latest update, with the new water background, is really nice on the eyes. One thing I would like is a little more detail regarding lesser highways/roads. And thanks for being so responsive to bug reports/bug problems over the years, you guys rock 🖖

Hands down-The Best Radar App. Real radar for those who need high quality radar maps. My absolute favorite weather app and totally worth the cost. One request...the map overlay (roads, etc.) is too sparse. The weather situation can be quite different just a couple miles away (severe thunderstorm, snow-rain line, etc.). But, the nearest displayed road on the map is many miles away making it real hard to pinpoint where "the weather is." It would be AWESOME if the developers would add functionality such that as you zoom in on the map the level of detail of roads increases.

Good but.... Edit - Problem resolved. Thank you! Edit - Currently on RadarScope,KBOX is displaying data which is 11.5 hrs. old. However, two other radar apps are displaying current KBOX scans. Radar Scope continues to provide its users with an ever expanding array of weather data. However, the increase in time it takes to generate each new volume scan comes at a cost. Over the years, the lag time between what you see on your phone and what you observe out your window has noticeably increased. Today the skies opened up and delivered a torrential downpour while RadarScope displayed six or more minutes of clear sky before eventually catching up and showing the storm move over the area.

Does as advertised. No complaints on my end. This is for advanced users and for anyone complaining about what the app does or doesn’t do, aren’t experienced enough to appreciate this on the fly system. If you’re complaining that it doesn’t show a nationwide map to view entire systems you’re not using the app for its intended purpose. When chasing or spotting this app will allow you to focus on an area of concern without a spliced image of the radar. It’ll also allow you to input addresses has the tools necessary to spot a storm quickly and efficiently. The only issue I’ve had isn’t something that I can blame on the app as much as I can my service provider is refresh time. Otherwise this app is money well spent for people who use phones and tablets while spotting/chasing.

It’s a Level 2 data viewer.. I’ll start this off by saying that if you’re looking for a way to view the highest res data available from the NWS’s network of radars on your phone, this does that, and it does it well enough, assuming only 5 frames of animation is fine with you. However, I really am a bit back and forth about the pricing of the base app. It feels a bit steep considering there is functionality that’s not included out of the box. Yes, I understand that the cost of development and running their services is not free. However, considering what you get in the base app is practically just NEXRAD Level 2 data, which is provided to the public for free (do the research - the NWS has made it available in different ways and there’s different methods of viewing it, at least on a PC), it just doesn’t feel right, even with the data being redistributed by RadarScope. I will still use RadarScope because I already spent the $10, and what is included in the base app is quality & convenient. But I have been exploring the data that is publicly available from the NWS, and I would implore others to do so as well.

Works great on old iPads. I have a retirement home for old iPads and I give them jobs to do. One is to display a continuous weather radar loop. I don’t know exactly how old these iPads are but they have the old pre-lightning cables and run 9.3.5. This chore was previously accomplished by an app I won’t name but is the same as a domestic terrorist organization. Apparently marketing was all on vacation the day they chose a name. Anyway, recently they quit serving up the data for the app. I looked for every possible app that would still install and run on 9.3.5 but they were all really primitive and/or crashed and/or had obnoxious ads. Then somehow this one popped up as recommended and claimed to run on 9.3.5. I took a huge risk because there was no trial version but I ponied up the ten bones and it paid off. This app works great on my senior iPad and hasn’t crashed once. No ads! There are subscriptions but they’re not required for the basic features that I need. It’s not nagging me for anything. So far it just sits there, dependably displaying a radar loop, 24/7, no ads, no nags, just doing its job.

Fantastic app. I absolutely love this app. It takes some time and study to get proficient at recognizing different aspects of storms but after all the weather is a complicated thing. Read the radarscope blogs and NWS articles on doppler radar, doesn't take long and you will be amazed how well you can detect everything just like you see on the weather channel radar images. It is well worth the effort to learn how to interpret the radar images, just work at it a little and you will love it and realize what a great app this is, especially if you live in a storm prone area or just interested in the weather.

Wonderful app, just needs to be CarPlay enabled. I’ve had this app for years. Depended on it for job related functions as well as home life. I live in the PNW mountains and no weather station has accurate forecasts so use the app to track snow and rain showers to time activities around. As basic as “should I let the dogs out now or wait for a bit until the rain lets up?” Years ago, I used the relative velocity display during a tornado watch and saw a rotation starting near my hotel. Opened the curtain to see a tornado touchdown a few hundred yards from me. Would be great if they could CarPlay enable this. As an RV’er and someone who drives a lot, it would be great to quickly pull up on the vehicle display to see if I’m driving into light rain or a heavy storm cell, rain or snow, etc.

Great design and features, warning polygons delayed. This is by far the best radar app out there. The design is simple and clean, it’s easy to navigate, the radar data and detail is unmatched, and the app is overall very reliable. RadarScope has been the leader when it comes to viewing radar data on iOS devices for many years and I don’t see that changing anytime soon. With that said, RadarOmega beats RadarScope when it comes to warning polygons. The warning polygons are delayed, sometimes by a few minutes, whereas RadarOmega shows warnings polygons within a few seconds of being issued if not instantly. Also, the special weather statement polygon color is too close to the yellow of a severe thunderstorm warning and I sometimes mistake a SWS for a STW. And lastly, RadarOmega displays tornado emergencies and flash flood emergencies differently to draw attention to them. This would be a great feature for RadarScope to implement.

Best of the best. Great app, not for beginners as you need to have more than a basic knowledge of how to read and interpret radar on the map. Once you are able to understand you will discover how much this app has to offer. I have the base app without a subscription and that is good enough for me. Radar updates very quickly. Kansas City was nearly slammed with an EF4 tornado in May of this year (2019) and RadarScope displayed accurate velocity to pinpoint where the mile wide tornado was located. I was able to monitor the debris field as well using correlation coefficient. This app is strictly radar and is best used with other apps such as The Weather Channel for forecasts. This is my go to radar app. Fantastic. The only change I would make would be a more detailed map.

Simply the Best. As an insurance claim adjuster, weather is my business. I can find no other app, free, paid, or subscription that comes close to the information this app provides. The free version is plenty for most casual observers. I subscribe to the $10/yr plan and it provides all I need. Hail? It’s so accurate, I can watch in real time as hail falls and as it moves. When I run a hail map from another service the next day to see where hail fell, it conforms the app’s real-time hail fall from the time of the storm in the exact same places, down the the foot— and it even shows the exact size of the hail. Lightning? It’s so accurate, as soon as I see the flash of lightning outside, the icon shows up in my circled location within the app— accurate down to the foot. There’s simply no other app that confirms hail, wind, and lightning as well as this one does. It’s real radar, deciphered so anyone can read it, with real-time wind, hail, & lightning data... and it doesn’t cost a fortune.

A Must-Have for RV’ers. We have a motorhome which makes us vulnerable in extreme weather situation not only when driving but when parked. This app has been fantastic to help up drill down to our exact location and track storm paths to see if they are coming near us. Using this app, we are able to see if we should move to a building or is it ok to stay put. We also use it to see if coastal storms are going to ruin a visit to the beach or will track to the north. When driving, we can see the weather that is ahead of us and plan accordingly. I recommend this app to all my rving friends and encourage them to subscribe to the PRO version for the best info.

Great even for non pro’s... I use fairly regularly since finding a few weeks ago.. Exactly what I was looking for to track storms here in Montana. Allows me to plan for road conditions and prepare for storms. Few drawbacks.. Needs better instruction for novice users who want to learn. The video walkthrough offered is useless. Also, like every other app, for the extra features u need to... Yup, pay extra. This is a paid app, yet they want more $ at every step along the way. I paid $10.. The infrastructure was/is there. Not like RadarScope is building radar stations and funding using the $ from app. Greed ruins everything. Unfortunately, u feel it here too.

Thank you for an amazing watch app.. I have loved the iOS and macOS apps for years. The watch app was fine for a quick look but was never anything special. After this latest update I have been thrilled with the new watch app. I love being able to see all radars and all products easily in those moments that I don’t have my phone in my pocket. Great job, developers!! I hope a CarPlay version will be coming soon. As someone who travels a lot being able to pop open a local radar on my dash would be tremendously helpful.

If you are able to understand the different radar types then buy it! I love it!. I’ve been using this app since March, because a fellow friend of mine, who is also a meteorologist recommended this app to me. I’m in love with this app. I don’t believe that you need to pay anymore than what you need to. The price it asks for is the price it really is. You don’t need to pay extra for pro stages if you don’t want those stages. You have access to every nexRad radar. You can see a variety of things I didn’t know was there. There is Velocity (rotation), reflectivity (normal radar), correlation coefficient (shows any non-meteorological debris), etc. I love it. I have payed for any of the pro tiers, and I don’t plan too. Even without lightning, I am able to tell if it has a lot of lightning in it.

Not for your average weather enthusiast. Five stars because you’re not going to find anything better. Most people wanting to track the weather are not going to be able to figure out how to use this app. It’s not for those folks. Stick with your news channel weather app. You need to have a little more than a basic understanding of weather and at least some understanding of basic level atmospheric sciences to be able to use this app to its full potential. The features of RadarScope are unmatched. I can watch broad rotation turn to tight rotation then pull up the correlation coefficient view and see what is happening. See where the hail and high winds are down to almost street level. With a little learning you will be able to watch storm movement and know exactly where the danger is or may be approaching. Can’t beat the price for the service you’re getting.

Amazing but one issue. So I got this app before I was using MyRadar so I got it and it was amazing it has velocity and many other cool features and I’m really into weather so I was excited about this but when there is a small storm on me it doesn’t show only if it has a warning and I click on it on the side then it shows the storm so as I’m writing this there is a small storm forming on me and it doesn’t show how do I fix this? Edit: Can you please reply with this the bug is causing me a lot of trouble and it’s getting annoying

Perfect in Almost Every Way. I bought this app long ago, back before the 2013 Moore EF-5. It has served me so well since then. And new features keep getting added, making this app basically a portable AWIPS workstation, minus WarnGen. There’s one thing that I’d love to see added, though, and that’s the ability to set our own storm motion vectors and have velocity products calibrated to that. For people who use RadarScope for chasing, that would make it so much easier. Other than that, this app does wonders for storm chasers who are looking for quick and easy access to site specific radar products. Oh, and the app will snap to the closest radar if you enable location. Even without custom SRV, this app gets five stars for its simplicity to use and the tools that can be had with the subscriptions.

Real Time Precise Information. I purchased this app in 2009 had it has been my go-to for critical weather information on the motorcycle and boat. When you’re exposed to the elements you need to know precise information of whether to go through the storm or seek shelter. radarscope has never failed to give me the information I need to evaluate my risks, and the speed direction, intensity and hail of a system. No other program I am aware of gives this real-time detail. This is not the national weather or what will happen tomorrow, but if you need precise location, speed, intensity and direction right now, RadarScope delivers.

I love it. When I bought the app, I was definitely not the target audience. I couldn’t really identify storm structures in person, let alone on radar. After getting this app and learning a ton more, it is one of the best radars out there. Yeah, there is a pretty big paywall, but you already get loads and loads of data for free. 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. 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. Even if more cities showed up as I zoom in, that would be completely fine. 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. Overall, the app is still phenomenal. It’s easy to use, provides loads of data, and is decently priced.

Junk. Do you like a national map that allows you to be able to locate local and long range storms? Do you like having high definition map overlays that allow you to locate exactly where the action is happening and heading? Do you want to have a weather app that is easy to navigate? Unfortunately this app fails on everything. What it does do well is charge 10 dollars to download the basic functions. If your disappointed by the basic application and interested and or already invested in the initial 10 dollars the next 10 dollars to get tier 1 access seems like an appropriate next step. Once you get yourself into the 20 dollar range of access you realize that it still is terrible and the next option to get the holy grail of weather apps is the PRO tier 2. It's only 100 dollars in addition to the 10 dollar app download fee. Also anytime you download the application regardless of level... your also agreeing to a contract that automatically deducts money from your account on a yearly basis. This weather application is the best...for it's investors.

The best high definition radar you can get on a phone. If you are looking for a radar that gives you the data straight, this is it. There are no smoothing algorithms for the radar so you can see what meteorologists see and make your own judgments. Even if all you know is green is good red is bad this radar is the best out there. There is a slight learning curve on what you are actually looking at and all the settings but the guide that’s built in gives you enough to get you started. Some people say this is all information you could find for free, which it is, but it won’t be nearly as convenient or as practical. 10$ isn’t anything for an app like this unless you are on the brink of being broke. If you decide to get this app and you just want the simpleton stuff just like me, select the super-res reflectivity chart and i turn on storm tracks in the settings. And just like that you have the best radar app on the market without even touching the weather nerd tools.

Crap. One review stated “this app is for professionals” yet it proclaims to be an effective tool for even the novice weather enthusiast. But that’s not my complaint so I digress.... my issue is I just bought this app an hour or so ago and have been looking at the app while watching the weather channel and the storms/tornado warnings in PA. The app is giving utterly and completely different information than the weather channel. The app has the tornado box/warning, several hundred miles north of what the weather channel is reporting. There are also warnings in several other places in the north east as per the tv, yet they’re absent from the app. I guess for “professionals” it’s groovy to stare at a screen with a bunch of colors, a few yellow and red boxes that are seemingly hundreds of miles away from what the actual professionals (meteorologists) are displaying... but I guess, what do they know anyway?

What happened? V.4 maps lost detail!. Pro subscriber and user from the very beginning. Boat captain that relies on this daily for work on the water inshore and offshore in South Carolina. The new “improved” maps in version 4 just took away all the coastal waterway definition we used to have. This visual detail is CRITICAL for discerning radar vs physical location tracking. Yes, I realize the app can pinpoint my current position with GPS but I also need to understand position of weather relative to other waterways. They simply disappeared from the new maps, and the coastline is now a very rough interpretation. High-def Radar is useless without high-def maps. Fix it, please. 2-Star rating is a reflection of the current level of map clarity for what was always a 5-Star app for me until the latest “improvements”.

RadarScope Review. This app is perfect. It will show you everything you need to know. Just going to say that this app is for those who know how to use Doppler Radar, and for those who know a little about it, it should be easy. The Velocity mode for this app is awesome. I sometimes wonder if they are going to add smoothing for the Reflectivity. Something that would be very nice and useful to this app is reviewing old radar data from a certain date. Let’s say you want to see the Moore, OK tornado from 2013. You can set the date and time, and bam, you’ve got that wonderful Radar Signature in front of your eyes that you can study. It may not be possible, but that is my only request. Getting that out of the way, for tracking tornadoes and storms, this is the app.

No radar app can hold a candle to this one. I have been a weather nerd since I was a little kid, and I’m a trained Skywarn Storm Spotter. 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. Most radar apps have a smoothing algorithm that obliterates storm structure. This app does a beautiful job with with its radar display. 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 it all and so much more that I could write a book on it. The features of data are endless. I’ve used it through Hurricane Matthew, Irma, and Dorian (and plenty of other tropical storms). The storm season here has me tracking several hundred storms over the years. I have it on my MacBook Pro and my iPhone. There’s a reason all the professionals, scientists, and storm chasers use this app. It’s the best $10 I’ve ever spent.

Please make changelog popup optional. First of all, this is the best radar app by far. Kudos to the developers for making such an awesome app. To the developers: please add a setting so the user can disable the changelog popping up when the app starts up. It’s great that the app is being updated so frequently, but that also means that there’s this annoying changelog window that pops up, covering the radar, that must be dismissed when there has been a new update to the app. The more app updates there are (a good thing), the more annoying changelog window pop-ups happen (a bad thing). I would prefer to be able to look at the changelog every once in a while, and not be forced to on every single update when the app starts. A simple toggle in the settings would allow me to disable changelog pop-up on app startup.

Worth the buy & tier 1!. If you’re a huge fan of the weather, especially when it comes to looking at the radar, this app is heaven for you! I recently upgraded to tier 1 for dual-pane radar, lightning, and inspector tools, and I outta say it’s been well worth it! A request to RadarScope, You probably won’t see this but could you add the town of Alto, Michigan if possible to the map? It makes for a great middle town between Grand Rapids, Clarksville, Lowell, and Caledonia Michigan. I also request this because the town has seen some nasty weather over the years and there’s been no proof to pinpoint the town on radar... just had to take a guess on it’s location. On top of that, there are quite a few residents in the town. It’s no ordinary one street pass-through. Thanks otherwise!

Great but Australian radars stuck on precipitation mode. What I said in title

Good app but needs additional features. The app is good but one point I have noticed that’s a little frustrating is switching between radars as where I live 3 different radars all converge around me so if you could select more radars to play at the same time that would be a great update.

RadarScope. It works in Australia

Please add storm track nowcasts to Australian radars. Brilliant app but would it be possible to add storm track/timing nowcasts to Australian radars for identified storms such as those already used for US radars?

Australian user can only see Radar zones. I was very excited to buy this app only to find when I opened it, I couldn’t do anything. I have no access to anything in there except I can see the Radar zones and I can expand them, but that is all. I can’t even find where my Account details would be entered, or even my Location etc. I’m very disappointed. If it is only available to US customers surely it should say that first.

Doesn't work in Australia.. Available in the Australia AppStore but doesn't work at all.

Wish you could select multiple radar sites simultaneously. Often times, I am on the fringe of two radar sites. It would be great if you could select two or more sites and combine images.

Great Customer Service. Had an issue with my subscription and their response time when I emailed them was great! And responses as we emailed back and forth were quick and easy to understand. Have been using the program for a couple of years and have been happy with it. After today, with the help I received, I am even happier!

Amazing App. The app does exactly what it states it does and has always done - provide radar data across the United States and Canada (as well as Korea and now Australia). From the lightning data to SPC ranging from rainfall accumulation, composite radar with velocity and a per-radar support, this app certainly out does most other applications. When reading the other reviews, many people complain about the lack of data or outages across Canada, yet many people are clearly missing that the data is provided by Environment Canada and that there is a 20+ million dollar expansion to the Canadian radar network over the next 3-5 years including all upgraded radars and new stations as well. These data mishaps are not the apps fault. Great app. Definitely worth the money.

No data in Canada. The app in great if you are in United Stade but no good for Canada (or the rest of the world.)

Constant errors!. It constantly doesn’t want to upload radars,losses connection etc...idk but wanting over 100$ for something this laggy and with constant issues...no thanks!

Does what it says. In eastern Ontario and this app in basic version has always done what it is supposed to do: show you unprocessed raw data from available stations. No, it doesn’t do composite, and it is not going to make up super-res where it seems Envirocan doesn’t have it. It’s just another very useful tool for more sophisticated weather users. A bit more map detail would be nice.

No help. Purchased the pro version and didn't get the pro features. Contacted support and sent all info they asked for and still nothing. Sounds like they making excuses. No refund and won't fix my app problem.

Needs maps!. Otherwise great app. Could be much more useable if it included good maps for stormchasing. Hate switching between apps to make decisions on how to intercept

Old Tree climber. Somewhat sophisticated but localized good for what it does!!!

Great App but new UI isn't great. New UI takes up valuable screen space even in full screen mode with the right hand panel bar. There should be a way to hide or auto hide this bar to keep the radar full screen when there's no need for control options. Can't say I like this version over the old. The dual radar display is great but suffers under the new cluttered UI.

Best Canadian radar app.. Awesome Canadian support. This is the radar app to own if you're into following severe weather in Canada.

A great tracking app. This app is very awesome for those in to watching the weather. Built-in dual-pol is a major plus against GRLevel. Most of the NEXRAD stations near the border should provide some coverage for Canadians, but natively supporting EC's radars as well as NOAA's would be a plus.

1 star on a pro perspective. So radarscope use to be a really good app for professionals in the weather industry. Overall they provide very useful feature and would otherwise be the best radar app for professionals as advertised in their title ‘professional radar’. Now the problem is that many many ordinary people are using the service and asking for unrealistic features, if the majority of radarscope users are laypersons, the professional needs of those would be ignored and quite frankly, the app would just be like any other public radar app. The 1 star is the poor direction the company is going. Otherwise it’s a terrific app, it would be a shame to let such an app deteriorate into an ordinary weather app.

RadarScope is great. Please update for watchOS 5.1.2. App is gone from my Apple Watch

Good. RadarScope is great but it would be nice if Canadian Radars has storm tracks available on them like the US radars do... Also, Why don’t Canadian alerts show up like Severe Thunderstorm Warning boxes? That would be a great feature to have!

Junk. Half of the radar sites in Canada are not enabled and are useless! Used to be a great app junk now. Concentration is on the pro not on basic. Don’t bother they don’t get back to you either when you report a problem!

Canadian Radars no longer working. After Environment Canada has updated its radar, I think there might have been an error in fetching Canadian radars in this app… all Canadian radars return as blanks. The American ones still work, might be useful if you live along the border.

RadarScope is awesome!. Love this app! As a Canadian and a member of the Spotter Network, it will come in handy during major weather events. I appreciate the addition of Canadian locations, thanks very much :)

Great app. Title says it all it is a great app

Waste of money. I live in a major city and this app provides nothing for my area. The nearby radars have such poor resolution you can find way better resources for free online. I’m regretting spending $15 on an app that serves no purpose.

The Best. Unparalleled American coverage (with lots of spillover into Canadian border regions). Canadian radar sites added in the latest update, along with iOS 7 support. The only one you need.

Impossible to show radar map for specific location. I bought this expensive app for the radar map capability. Using its no so obvious interface I spent 20 minutes trying to zoom in on our location and failed to do so. In the end I gave up not being able to use the app for its intended use. I also tried to get a refund and was not allowed to.

Great in the US, Meh in Canada. Offers way more features in the United States than in Canada. If the same features were offered for Canada as in the US it would be five stars.

More Canadian Support Please!. The radar is awesome but it lost 2 stars because the Canadian Warnings are not shown and the Cell Tracker won't work with Canadian Radar Sites. If these things are fixed then it will gain back the 2 stars.

Great App. I use this all the time! Comes in handy a lot!

Great app; provides otherwise paywalled Canadian data. From an enthusiast, but non-expert: Great app that provides simple but important raw radar data—the kind of data that is becoming harder and harder to come across. Better than the many other radar apps I have tried (looking at you, Environment Canada). A few pros: – Radar data is almost immediately available (usually less than a minute delay). Makes for more useful and precise extrapolation. – Provides raw data from individual Canadian radars, which Environment Canada seems to have stopped providing (shame on them). – Provides velocity data from Canadian radars, which is otherwise paywalled (I believe). – The developers should get a lot of credit for the fact that the app collects no information—this is very rare.

Radarscope. Love this app, easy to use, lots are great functions no complaints

Horrible. Can’t see anything. The radar screen is too black.

Too basic. Environment Canada has a better app, and its free. ☹️

Disappointed weatherman. Radar loops are very old (16 mins) & the graphics are really bad, not what I expected for paying $6 for

Broken. App no longer works

The radar app you need. This app is fantastic and shows you information that you normally can’t access. Updates are much more frequently than what you get from Environment Canada. My only suggestion to the developer of this app would be to add a trial for the pro futures. I’m not sure if I actually want the pro futures or not it seems tempting, but I don’t really want to sacrifice my money yet if I don’t like the futures, if there was even like a three day trial, or even shorter, it would be a 5 star app.

Get Environment Canada app for free instead. Not worth it for Canadians because the data used is provided for free by Environment Canada. Total waste of money.

Wrong location. Unfortunately I cannot get the radar to show the north east Saskatchewan area. Lost $14 bucks there

USA only - not worth $10. Not intuitive. Some weather apps have better radar maps (Weatherbug & AccuWeather). RadarScope is for USA only. The developer responded to my email right away: "Possibly Canada at some point in the future. We don't currently have data for any other countries."

Canadian feedback. Excellent app overall. As a Canadian user, I would welcome Environment Canada watches/warnings and more map detail but otherwise am very pleased with this product! Looking forward to new version enhancements.

Great. Excellent, once I deleted it and reloaded, it works great. Very useful App.

Bleuet. Would like to see Canada. I like this apps.

Poor for Canada's. Waist of money if you live in Canada!!!!!

Good app!. Very complete radar app! Easy to get overwhelmed with the geeky stuff. Few nice tutorials on youtube can fix that however.

Dead app. This used to be a great app and I was happy to subscribe, but now it has ZERO data for Canada. Do NOT waste your money on this app!!

Money back please. Same information on environment Canada. Thought it would have much more information….please send money back.

Alberta radar no worky. A nice app, and I pay for the Pro version...too bad radar is not working on 2 Alberta sites...what am I paying for? Not happy.

Great app!. I'm Canadian, Alberta to be specific. I would like to see more info on the maps such as roads, lakes and rivers. A satellite layer showing cloud cover would be very helpful as well. Other than that, EC needs to update our radar network.

Top Radar App. RadarScope is by far the top radar app. The pro subscription is worth every penny. It makes it easy to use all the available radar products.

Great app. Just upgraded to Tier 1. Lightning in Canada! And it shows when animating the radar image. I had been using "Storm", but they dropped lightning in Canada & then made it a solely ad-supported app. RadarScope, which I've used for years now, is much better.

Not for joe blow. This is an advanced app for viewing radar images from wx radar heads. It’s not something joe blow can pick up and understand. Those saying it isn’t any good simply don’t know how to interpret the data. It’s like looking at an X-ray and saying an iPhone does a better picture.

Waste of Money. The (pro) is not accurate at all for the Canadian western Provinces! Waste of hard earned money!

Gives little to no data over free government app. Also the version you pay for isn’t even pro

No, it isn’t the “greatest app!”. I have had this app about 2 months. I wanted to get familiar with it before the “season” started. By now, I’m quite curious about the folks that think this is the best app, “BY FAR!” How many other apps have they tried?? I’m a National Weather Spotter for 5 years now, and 2 phones later, i am very disappointed in this app. First - WHAT GOOD IS ANY RADAR MAP WITHOUT CURRENT ROADWAYS LISTED?! The app area throughout Arizona has 30 year old coverage! So, how old are the maps?? I select highways and get about half in the entire state! ? Second - Radar stations. My app selects the area with the most activity. Selecting what i want doesn’t last. Third - Layering does not work. There isn’t any. Seriously. And then to top all this off, how about zero support. The “help desk” suggests not to delete the app (to reload) or i will be charged again??? So, tell me why this is such a, “great app?”

Thank you for the updates. You guys are on top of it with bug fixes and features! Thank you for your continued support, wish I could say the same for radaromega but they don’t seem to understand what people are paying for. They continually push updates too far apart and don’t fix bugs while causing more of them with each update, refusing to optimize their app that has caused significant damage to the battery of my device due to overheating.

Let me down - not what i wanted after 10 years. I first got Radar Scope about ten years ago. It was expensive then at $10 but a pilot friend of mine used it and said it was the best. And, I’ll agree, it was for a long time. Then they forgot me and started the “pro” charge point to make more money. Now I just go to the free local news radars and Weather Channel which are far better than what RadarScope left me with since I won't pay them $10 a month for the services I originally bought. They've been a huge let down for this law enforcement executive who used it regularly in the past before the shakedown of monthly fees.

Best radar app. This is my go to radar for almost 5 years. Used in storm chasing, and all the tools were well worth the cost to keep us near enough to see action but far enough away from danger. This radar does not have a national screen, that's not how Doppler works. If you want the basics, use something else. If you want to see how a storm is rotating or where the updraft and downdraft is located in a supercell, this is your app.

A very good app but needs better map definition. I was PRO level 1 for a few years before upgrading to PRO level 2. This is the best weather app on the market!! There is only one hitch, lack of road support.. You would think you could see where the bad weather was located, NOOO, you just get a generalization!!! So you could actually drive into a dangerous storm, because the map is that general. I would’ve thought with PRO level 2, it would’ve had a better map. Apparently you don’t have the ability to provide a Top Tier weather app, with a top tier road map! Please Fix, kindly...

Absolutely the best in the App Store. It's really quite simple, this App is hands down the most detailed available anywhere on the App Store. We as a family spend maybe $50/yr. between emergency radios, batteries, Application subscriptions. In Arkansas tornadoes happen frequently & never make it on the national news. It's just normal life our here... It helps you keep you assets safe under cover or put up when needed & shelter your family as well. You have to know a little meteorology to use the App but educating yourself never hurt anyone , I don't think....

Watches behind an additional paywall now?. Recently noticed that watches are now locked behind pro. This is absurd. As someone who uses this to casually see more weather data, not being an expert and also inform family of the watches in the area before warnings are issued, ESPECIALLY for tornadoes, why should watches be locked behind an additional paywall when you offer warnings only? Warnings of an imminent threat are always enough time to act… love using the app, but when my wife hears about a tornado watch, I’ll no longer be able to utilize this for general guidance until it may be too late for us. So thanks.

Not worth $10. If you buy just the app what you get is VERY limited. You can’t even get a regional radar. You have to select each radar site to view a whole storm. No dew points, no wind speeds, no temps. You probably have to subscribe to the monthly subscription to get those. This app is nothing but selecting between radar sites and various settings per radar. Oh but you can draw on it. Wow. Usually I’m quite savvy and once I explored all the app and what just the $10 app purchase would get me, I feel very ripped off. I used to use MyRadar and vs. what you get with $10 on RadarScope. MyRadar is by far the best option. Should have went with MyRadar pro.

Without a doubt, the best radar app out there.. A warning to anyone downloading this app: this is for weather nerds only. If you download this app, keep in mind that it doesn’t stitch radars or sugarcoat the info, it’s the raw data from the radar. But, for weather nerds and meteorologists, it’s the best radar app out there. You can use it on-air, and you can easily track storms with your own data. I love this app so much, I actually bought their t-shirt.

Not a fan of the new redesign. I wish I would have looked at the screen shots before the update. I wish I could revert back. Kinda ugly. Previous version ? Was at least a year to two old. Other updates I got use too. This is different. Otherwise this app is worth the money hands down the best. This is the top number one app to get. Gives the most information in the smallest simplest easy to use user interface.

Great app for Skywarn. I use this app while doing Skywarn weather tracking because it has all the tools you need in one package. Wish it was CarPlay compatible, but a great app otherwise. If you want local high resolution detail of what a storm is doing, this app gets you there. If you want to see what the overall national map looks like, go to the NWS website or get an different app to work alongside this one. The Pro levels give you added goodies like lightning tracking and other handy tools in the tool box. Well worth it...🌪🚗

Owner. Flawless, excepting one mildly annoying glitch: The total accumulation tries to adapt and switch between inches of rain and inches of snow. Checking on conditions across the lake, in Michigan, I often can’t tell which, if for example, rain is changing to snow. My advice- Just stick with total moisture. I can convert rain to snow inches myself. Too tricky for the app’s algorithms to switch back and forth. To the positive- the total storm accumulation, in motion, is indispensable and unavailable anywhere else, even on TV weather.

Awesome. It’s the greatest thing on the App Store. It gives you the smartest weather tools right in the palm of your hand. If you know what you’re looking at, you can track the strongest most complex storms. I’ve tracked several storms all across the country using RadarScope. It’s excellent for advanced meteorological assessments. But for some reason the two radar sites close to my location are both down now my radar beam is coming from over 200 miles away.

Best Radar App Out There. The only app I’ve ever paid for (recommend going up a tier as well, the features are well worth it IMO). For anybody saying they can’t see anything, they likely just don’t have the correct radar selected. Rather than have a mashed together radar image like other apps, you have to select which radar you want to see.

A serious app for serious people. I have yet to see a 1- or 2-star review from a RS user worth reading, let alone taking seriously. This app is powerful, highly usable, and packed with value. Many people will pay more for their next latte, so I'm not impressed with whining about the cost, either. Bottom line: Look at the substance of the positive vs negative reviews, and then make the right choice -- download the app and support its devs with a few dollars. You won't find a better radar app at ANY price.

5-Stars EASILY!. RadarScope is, and has been, the true go-to application (both on iOS and Mac) for storm Chasers, Spotters and serious weather enthusiasts. The detail is superior, loading speeds superior, ability to have important overlays such as Mesoscale Discussions, Watch regions, SPC Outlooks… all the critical data one would need in the field (or for their location for personal safety).

Well worth the money!. I was a longtime user Weather Underground’s Storm app. After it was taken over by the Weather Channel it became just another useless radar. I searched trough all the free apps to find a similar replacement and could not. It was then that I took the plunge into paying for Radar Scope. Once I used it, I knew that I was home. This app is by far superior to any other weather radar app available on iOS! For a reasonable annual upgrade fee it gets even better. High res reflectivity, velocity and so much more is available in virtual real time

Great app for boaters and fisherman.. I originally reviewed this app based on the S FLA RADAR (KAMX) being out of service so much. Learned that this was ABSOLUTELY NOT an issue with the app. The RADARSCOPE APP is by far the MOST PROFESSIONAL Radar app available. I use it on my boat in S Florida to detect and track storms while I’m off-shore AND in-shore, so I can head for my dock when I see something growing in size or taking a path that will affect my route or current location. Great app! It is not the app’s fault if the folks running the Miami based radar cannot keep their equipment operational.

BEST RADAR APP PERIOD!!. This app is for meteorologists, storm chasers, storm spotters or anyone who is weather saavy. It upsets me when anyone rates this app bad when they don't know how to use it. This app is everything you want in radar and more. If you know weather data it can cost as much as $20 to $30 dollars monthly for hi resolution, this app is unbelievable. Hi res reflectivity, hi res velocity, tilt and beam height, shows your position on the maps. Warnings and advisories. Compatible with Spotternetwork and Allisonhouse. If you are a spotter or chaser this is a must!!

Best. Radar. App. Hands Down!. This is THE best radar app that there is. It is just a beautiful app. The radar is raw data. For those complaining you can’t see the whole US or the entire hurricane, then you don’t understand this app. I love how you can see where a tornado is by using the different radar options. That’s if you know how to use it. If you want a basic radar app, this isn’t for you! If you want a professional radar app with raw data, then don’t think twice!

This is a Professional App. I agree with another user, this app is fantastic, don’t read too much into a poor review as it’s the user, not this great app. I have turned so many people onto this, as they see me using mine, they all ask how to get it.. If someone balks at the price, I just say you get what you pay for, there is no free app anywhere of this quality.. Thank you to the creators of this app, it’s a must have on your phone!!!!

5.2 Update adds a decent radar app to Apple Watch. 5.2 really advances their Apple Watch app, showing semi-live radar complications (you’ll have to add the RadarScope app back if you used the previous static icon as complication on your watch as now it’s live), further it finally has an Apple Watch widget that you can scroll down to and see (if you have one of the latest Apple Watch OS versions installed) I had to configure my watch app (the ellipsis “…” at the lower right once the Apple Watch app is open) to have it setup right Absolutely awesome app in general if your interested in all the features of modern weather radar Not recommended for people who just care whether it’ll rain or not, due to its complexity and technical nature

I am a disaster volunteer and this app saves my @**. My team uses this app to help us fallow along with potential life threatening storms and we help read curtain emergency alerts to help get the word out there to every one we know. Then if we find that a disaster has happened that needs help from a certified outside organization we then step in and offer our assistance. We use this app to helps us plan in advance in a situation that is very hard to plan for. Thank you from Texas Louisiana Coalition Ps now almost off of our disaster friends has now downloaded this app. Might I suggest making one tweet. Make it so when you click on a warning the words change a different color so we know which warnings we’ve already read. Something bold and easy to tell apart like orange to blue

Best radar app I’ve used, needs one more feature…. I’ve had this app forever (I think I paid $20 back then) and it has been great. Over the years some features have been moved to the Pro Tier which is somewhat disappointing; though I understand developers need to earn a living. (And given the App Store rules against upgrades subscriptions are here to stay) That said, I’d gladly join the Pro Tier One subscription level if CarPlay was added as a feature.

Great, but.... The app is fantastic, fast refresh rates, great Storm details, very accurate. The things I wish for: 1) regional and national composite radar-the ability to watch big systems rolling towards us. 2) more detailed maps to allow precise positioning. The “I’m Here” marker is convenient but I also want to know where the storm is in relation to my kids, parents, family, friends, job sites 3) I live in North Carolina & am always keeping track of Hurricanes every year. The ability to select storms and receive regular updates and zoom to the hurricane would be fantastic.

Want to keep your family safe? Get this app. This is the best app for weather or storm chasing or to keep you informed to keep your family safe. I’m not a professional by no means I see people say it’s for professionals only not true you only need common sense and a little time to get familiar with it and you will be more then pleased with the comfort of knowing what’s in the future for your location and if you had to get away fast it wouldn’t be into the mouth of the storm . you will see your path to safety in the palm of your hand.

Pro Options Lacking. I’m paying $100/yr for the pro tier two and can’t even get an option to change the freaking radar playback speed? Seriously? Though honestly it should probably be a standard option like many other radar apps. Even the desktop version of RadarScope has had this for ages. What’s taking so long? I’ll update this review back to five stars once we get this option we should’ve had years ago. I hate how slow it is playing back 30 frames on Pro. Also the Apple Watch app needs an overhaul. I use it all the time and it’s buggy and slow, even on new hardware and fast internet.

Best of the best!. This is hands down the best mobile radar on the market. Period. It’ll always be my one and only ***lately Ive noticed if Ive had it closed for a couple hours it takes a VERY long time to update to the current scan, even if I restart two or three times. This has never been an issue until the last few versions ***

Amazing App. Obviously this is NOT for your causal weather viewer. This is a extremely powerful app for users that know something about how weather works. If you want to know if it's going to rain next week, go use some other free app. If you want to know exactly down to the minute how the storm is acting and developing and your interested in investing a little time into learning what the different radar products mean, this is the app for you. Absolutely awesome!

Disappointed. I just purchased this app for $9.99 and I must say I'm VERY disappointed. First of all it allows you to pick a radar site in a state and when you do it's just for that area that the radar reaches out to. I bought it wanting to see Hurricane Irma in its whole size since it was a huge hurricane and I was only able to see a part of the hurricane! It doesn't allow for a full screen of the actual hurricane. You also can't zoom all the way out thinking if you do you'll get to see the size of the hurricane. It ONLY shows what's in that specific radar zone and that's it! I will use my other radar app NOOAA Hi-Def radar Pro to see the whole size of the next hurricane and zoom out or in to see the whole hurricane and not just be limited to an area like this app. DO NO WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS APP!

Amazing, just one suggestion. This is probably the best radar app you can find right next to RadarOmega. Whether you’re a stormchaser, spotter, or just like watching radar and tracking storms I’d suggest this app for sure. There’s one suggestion I’d make for the developers; add a future radar feature. This would be very helpful to those who can’t figure out how ti access HRRR models or just want to know what’s coming. Other than that, it’s a fantastic app!

Fantastic. I’m going to keep this short. This radar is absolutely perfect for those who like to follow severe weather events. For $10 you get so many different types of useful maps (correlation coefficient, Velocity Scans, and high res reflectivity just to name a few). If you aren’t familiar with reading more advanced weather maps, you probably won’t find use for this app. But if you are, wow. It’s just incredible. So easy and seem-less to follow severe weather events. 5/5

Just purchased. Initial review I’m not a weather geek ,was just looking for a good quality radar with a decent image a couple hour history and some future forecast,I spent $10 on this got nothing for my money except more solicitations for another $10 for a pro and a $99/year for pro 2 upgrades (Wish I could return it for a refund). The storm radar from the weather channel(free version) offers the novice more usable features than this. HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED at this point I consider this a waste of money,bordering on a bait and switch, but to be fair (and because I’ve already paid for it) I will try to get it to work for me and may amend my review later

My Goto App for Severe Weather.... I have been using this app for many years. I have used this app on my iPhone to avoid many a storm while traveling. I have no idea if this is possible (i.e. allowed by Apple) but I would Love to see this work on CarPlay! My 2018 Mustang has a large touch-panel display and it would be much easier (and safer) to view the weather radar on my 8” Display than my iPhone in a cradle!

Good. Wish they had the SPC Forecast available.. I use this app across devices. It’s a little wonky on macOS with having to use your keyboard and mouse together to zoom in/out and navigate the map. I wish they had the SPC Forecast available as a map layer without having to upgrade. I always have to switch apps to see the latest from the SPC. It would also be great to enable a cluster of radars to compare data at one time.

Great app but needs an improvement. Great app but needs an improvement. I live in a fringe rural area (tornado ally) between three radar locations. I really like that the selected radar is more timely updated than the rest, but because of the fringe area it would be a tremendous help to be able to select the three surrounding radars with one as primary (most current time update) and the other two as secondary. Being able to view all three overlayed radar images on one view would give a composition view of incoming threats.

Best Radar App in the Market Today. Radarscope is by far the best radar app in the App Store it anywhere else on the internet. Every single radar product the weather service or TV meteorologists can see are all on this app. Every radar in the US, Canada, Australia, Guam, Alaska, Hawaii, and South Korea is on here. Don’t let the $9.99 price throw you off. Once you try it, you will see it is worth far more than the price tag.

Best Radar App ever. Been an app owner for years and years. Hated to spend the money compared to others but once I did - I’ve never regretted it. One of the most accurate, responsive apps but it does miss the background street / map details that others have. However, I’m not really using it for pinpoint as much as I am a 10 mile radius and then zoom out to see what’s approaching.

I was really hoping this was worth the cost.... ...but it’s not. The radar for the morning was clear with no rain. The trajectory of the storms (about 40 miles north of me) were to continue moving East and slightly North. However, I heard thunder and within 15 minutes it was storming hard, with the app all of a sudden caught up to the weather in my area. Why didn’t it show it moving south?why did it take so long to catch up? Why can’t there be a reliable precipitation app on the App Store?! It’s all I’ve ever wanted. Edit: another day where my area had a clear radar, but it was raining.

This is great! But it needs a couple things added to it. I bought this app a few days ago and I was looking for a app that it could show tornadoes on the map. And I saw this one andI got it and it was amazing! But it needs some things added to it. Like future radar, past radar, and 24 hour future radar but with no cost. But on the other hand it is really good.

Absolutely amazing app, 10/10 would recommend to fellow weather nuts. So I’m a weather nut, I’ll admit it. I’ve seen this app being talked about and I thought that I should try it and I love it. The base app already has so much! As of now I don’t even really need pro or pro2 because there’s just so much to process right now! There’s everything I could want that I wasn’t able to find in other apps I’ve tried!

A good app but needs more information. It's a pretty good app (not a great one) but it needs more explanation of terms and how to use. We are not all schooled in this stuff. A little help would be much appreciated. It also frequently-or so it seems— offers me upgrades to something better— never clear exactly what, but the increased price is crystal clear. Just today they upped the ante considerably and I bit for the moment— a hefty price for a year of something better, but I don’t know what. I’ll try it for a period but can always cancel. The app is good but they should do a lot better in explaining their frequent upgrades.

Must-have tool. This app packs more info into a screen than any other I’ve used, including the NWS radar pages. I recommend Pro Tier 1 for the lightning strike layer, it’s one of the best ways to spot active convection there is. That and the storm tracks are my two favorite features. I would like some way to filter the warnings by region, though. Without that, the count of warnings isn’t very helpful to me. Filtering by region and type would make that feature much more useful.

Very helpful. Use this for real time storm tracking when avoiding severe weather. Tricky to use at first but got the hang of it. Also use this alongside other radar apps. Simpler weather apps tend to have a good warning system but often do not have an accurate radar depiction of precipitation or reflectivity compared to this one. As such, this app has been a life saver.

Love it when it works. I make the go/no go call for about 150 outdoor programs each year, based on weather. When RadarScope works, it’s the best out there in helping me decide when to cancel a program. However, I frequently have issues with the last scan being 5+ hours old, and the app not loading the most recent data. Have tried all kinds of resets, hard and soft, but have ended up having to use another app to pull radar when RadarScope won’t update. Sometimes quite frustrating in the middle of trying to make the right call.

Professional grade radar and storm tracking! 💯. This is the de facto standard app for radar and storm tracking data. Ask any storm chaser. Yes it costs money, but is so worth the cost for the features you get. I subscribe to the Level 2 data and it is perfect for my needs. High resolution reflectivity and lightning data is great to have. Refresh rates are nice and disable auto lock is handy when a huge storm is passing over. Forget the haters, probably people that don’t really understand what they are getting. This app is the real deal! 👍🏻

Need Option Controls Back on Side. Latest update that moved all the controls to the bottom of the screen is a bad use of screen real estate, controls were more accessible on right side. Needs at least an option to put them back on the right side. Perfect example of software developers having to keep changing things that didn’t need changing as they need to keep working.

Best Radar App for Serious Weather Enthusiasts. I’ve been using Radar Scope for years on Mac iOS and Watch. However the Watch app is really annoying trying to zoom in and out. Please update and use the Digital Crown as affective way of zooming in and out of the map. This would definitely make the user experience much more enjoyable instead of having to force press each time to zoom in or out.

Great Weather Radar App—Worth Every Penny. RadarScope is an absolutely amazing weather radar app. The SuperRes Reflectivity view gives amazing detail. Location Services make it easy to pinpoint exactly where you are so you can use the radar animation to determine what is coming your way in the next hour or the next few minutes. Storm tracks and the distance tool help you figure out the timing. There are over 25 different radar views showing wind velocity, precipitation, and more. I look forward to learning how to interpret these advance radar views. There has been much consternation about the new Pro subscription. The introduction of this never took away the 6 frame SuperRes Reflectivity view. It just offers the option add 14 more frames to the view and gives real time lightning reporting. I went for it, but you have an amazing tool without it. This app is worth every penny.

Emergency Management Preferred Radar App. We have been utilizing RadarScope since launched at the Navarro County, TX - Office of Emergency Management. The products offered in both the base app and Pro version are excellent for units when mobile or working away from the operations center. I would highly recommend everyone who has at least basic knowledge of reading radar data and derived products to give this a shot!
