RadarScope App Comments & Reviews
RadarScope Positive Reviews
Very Good App... Paying Extra ThoughThis 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..Version: 3.8.8
Best radar app for the weather enthusiast and t-storm junkieFirst there are clearly too many radar apps on the App Store that are really more about weather conditions and forecasts. And there are far too many similarities between them, with only one or two that are reasonable. And, THIS IS NOT ONE ON THEM! I you want an app that can delve into NexRad Level 2 and Level 3 radar feeds, including velocities and other important images needed for those who pay attention to storms and early indicators of severity and rotation, THIS IS YOUR RADAR APP!! Look no further! I hesitated for a while now because of the $10 price tag. But, fearing lately with some recent tornado watches and warnings near my home, I made the purchase. My only regret is not getting this sooner. It is that good. But, understand - this is a bit more advanced than your typical weather app. This app focuses on doing one thing - presenting you with comprehensive access to the latest NOAA radar images in hi-res. It’s not a simple weather forecasting app. Plenty of options exist if that’s all you want. The negative reviews are mostly because of people not understanding what they are getting. This is really good. Oh, and it has seamless integration with my Apple Watch, my Apple TV and my iPad. I’ve tested it out on all those, and it worked great. Just keep in mind that you need to set your favorite locations on your iPhone or iPad. Excellent app! Thank you! I may even pay for the service to get lightning and other extras, but the base app is quite good by itself..Version: 3.8.8
Best radarThe 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..Version: 3.6.1
Ignore the critics; they are ignorantThis app puts professional-grade radar in the palm of your hand. It is high-resolution, updates rapidly, and has a user-friendly interface. All storm chasers (and I am one myself) use this app, which should tell you all you need to know about its quality. You do need some knowledge to know how to read some of the radar images outside of the common base-reflectivity. The critics are either people that seem to think apps should be free, or are not meteorologists, storm chasers, or weather enthusiasts. To the first group of critics I say, you get what you pay for. To the second group I say, maybe this app is overkill for what you need or want - but that’s not a reason to criticize the app itself. It is simply the best radar app I am aware of, and again as a storm chaser for 20+ years, I would know. Now it is true that there is no national/regional radar view - this is because the ability to access individual NEXRAD sites is what provides the detailed resolution, rapid updates/speed, and individual radar analysis products. You can always get another app, including free ones, to see the big picture, and that might be enough for some people, but those apps are simply not going to give you the detailed resolution, or the products needed for in-depth analysis at a local storm level, that RadarScope does. Similarly, displaying a more detailed road map in the background would compromise speed and resolution, and seeing the map detail would require a more translucent radar image that would degrade its usefulness. People that criticize this app are simply ignorant, because those who know weather choose this app hands-down..Version: 3.6.1
Needs a couple more featuresI 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..Version: 3.13.1
App uses fictional name for historic locationOnly in the United States would a business that touts its scientifically dependable and accurate data bow so low to appease an American politician by using the term “Gulf of America” as the historic location known worldwide for hundreds of years as the Gulf of Mexico. I’m not going into a political rant but some things ARE written in stone like the name of the state you live in, the names of the oceans and the planet itself. You should not comply with the nonsense ‘orders’ of one mortal who doesn’t have even a shallow knowledge of history or the right to arbitrarily change any of it. I worked for years in an FAA flight services facility and was happy to buy the basic app for radar and alerts. As well as maintaining ILS, ATC comm and ground navigation equipment I also maintained weather info gathering equipment and radar into ATC facilities. Any ATC can tell you that nomenclature is VITAL in communication. We don’t arbitrarily rename radio fixes or cities for political purposes. The Gulf of Mexico is not a football stadium. You don’t want your pilot or your brain surgeon to introduce themselves wearing political merch and if a radar data app incorporates political nonsense into its maps, its quality is immediately suspected to be flawed in some other way..Version: 5.4.2
No radar app can hold a candle to this oneI 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..Version: 3.10
RadarScope is The Outstanding weather app!I could write an epistle on the values of RadarScope, but my words would still be lacking. We live in Tornado Alley and are extremely cognizant of stormy weather, especially after having survived a tornado’s direct hit on our house. We have tested literally dozens of weather radar apps, and all of them fall short of rendering accurate storm position (among multiple other details) in a timely manner. All of those apps’ radar data is at least five minutes old, which is useless in tornadic weather. RadarScope shows the actual live radar feeds, instantly and without the middleman. This app is the only one that gave us the real indications that a tornado was heading right for us. Another excellent feature is that when the NWS issues Thunderstorm Warnings or Tornado Warnings, those polygons appear in RadarScope as the NWS and SPC issue them. During these long storm-filled nights, we’ve had the local weather on the TV and had RadarScope open, and we’d see the polygon warnings in RadarScope several minutes before the local meteorologists report them, and also several minutes before our tornado sirens begin to sound. Only one feature we’d like to see added, is that storm warning alert notifications could be added to the app. We know that’s not the focus of the app, and definitely not a deal breaker. If you’re wanting hyper-accurate radar data instantly, RadarScope is the app that delivers it. This app is outstanding!.Version: 5.3.1
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 $10, and what is included in the base app is quality & convenient. But I have been exploring the data that is publicly available from the NWS, and I would implore others to do so as well..Version: 3.13.1
The best high definition radar you can get on a phoneIf you are looking for a radar that gives you the data straight, this is it. There are no smoothing algorithms for the radar so you can see what meteorologists see and make your own judgments. Even if all you know is green is good red is bad this radar is the best out there. There is a slight learning curve on what you are actually looking at and all the settings but the guide that’s built in gives you enough to get you started. Some people say this is all information you could find for free, which it is, but it won’t be nearly as convenient or as practical. 10$ 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..Version: 3.13.1
Uses (accurate) raw data from radar sitesThis app displays data from individual radar sites, so the radius is limited to the actual radius of the actual radar. If you want a mosaic (combined images) then get an app that does that. They're free because they're less accurate. Research how radar actually works and you'll understand that they're naturally less accurate the further out they send their beams. Mosaics smooth and blend the edges, removing accuracy. They are essentially cartoon versions of the weather. I use one from my local weather station because it certainly serves a purpose, but when accuracy matters (99% of the time) then I use this app. Combined I'm aware of and prepared for the weather. There has been many, many times that I've had Radarscope open while watching the local station during severe weather and received updates in regards to warnings and increases or decreases in severity before the weather man indicates the changes on TV. I believe in keeping myself and my family safe by taking matters into my own hands, and this app makes that possible. If you just want to sit on your hands until you hear a siren that's your own perogative, and if you're content with an inaccurate mosaic image it is as well, but if you want to keep a close eye on the weather to keep your tools dry, your crew safe, and your family prepared, $9.99 a year is a no-brainer. This is the only app I've spent money on, and I've never regretted it. Educate yourself on what each mode indicates and you'll not regret it either..Version: 3.8.8
Radar Capability is good, but limitedI am not a weather professional, but have a keen interest in weather radar, living in a tornado prone zone in the southeast. I bought the Pro tier 1 version and it comes with the advanced radar features I was looking for. I didn’t want to get the Tier 2, because it is a significant monthly subscription. I looked to see if I got roads on the tier 1 version, and it was supposed to have that. That is where my problem is. I can tell from the app where the problem areas are (in general), but can’t get any reference to exactly where it is in relation to my location, or those of my family. The roads that are shown are extremely limited, and not labeled so getting your bearings on where the tornado is within the county is impossible. This is a simple feature to implement and they have it implemented, but they do not implement any useful map capability without a monthly subscription. Probably won’t renew my yearly subscription if they don’t implement at least street level mapping in new releases.Version: 5.4.1
Ultimate Weather AppLiving 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..Version: 5.0.8
SuggestionI 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.Version: 3.13.1
Cannot view multiple radar images simultaneously...WHY I BOUGHT THIS APP: I love their privacy protocol, that was the deciding reason I downloaded this app. In that respect this app is far superior to those that constantly harvest oUr perSonAl data. For that reason alone I highly recommend this app if you only need to see one radar at a time. THE APP: I want to love this app, it came highly recommended. It is beautiful. The functions are intuitive and easy to navigate. It has multiple attractively designed screen icons. Unfortunately, you cannot view multiple radar images simultaneously. If you are trying to track a very large storm you must switch back-and-forth between multiple radars — even so, you will never see storms that extend from the Great Lakes to Gulf of Mexico. I need to see the training thunderstorms, long-track tornadoes, and hurricanes approaching before they reach my proverbial doorstep. Beautiful images, but sadly, not worth $10 if I can't see at least two live/active radar images on the screen simultaneously. UPDATE: (I have already been charged for this app; therefore, I am going to play with it for a while and see if there are functions I am missing.) During the storm I didn't try to see a composite radar image for the entire continent. This morning I discovered that option doesn't appear to exist. ...shouldn't have surprised me since you can't see two radars simultaneously. Fingers crossed that I find a way to simultaneously turn on a composite of continental/regional radars. If there is, I will update this review and add Stars as appropriate..Version: 5.3.1
Please make changelog popup optionalFirst 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..Version: 5.1.3
Don’t listen to the 1 and 2 star reviews. Please readFirst 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..Version: 3.8.8
Best app for pro and amateur weather enthusiasts. Hand down.Five stars is not enough! RadarScope is not only my absolute favorite weather-related app but is solidly one of my top-five overall favorite apps of all time—one of those rare “It’s so good it’s worth buying an iPad just to use it” apps. I found out about RadarScope from watching livestreams of professional storm chasers using it. I figured if it’s good enough for the folks who rely on it to navigate life-or-death situations where small errors could have catastrophic consequences, then it must be one amazing app. Boy, was I right. Yes, this one has a steep learning curve if you’re an untrained, amateur meteorology enthusiast such as myself (I assume if you had a a solid meteorology background, this app would be a piece of cake to use). However, it’s totally worth the investment if you’re looking to step up your weather game. To get full use of it as a non-professional make sure you throughly read the “Radar Products” section in the user guide (and perhaps even outside sources to flesh out the details) to make sure you understand what your looking at (and in that sense, this app also is hands-down the best meteorology education tool on the market). The warnings from the other raters bear repeating here: if you don’t have the knowledge to get the most out of this and aren’t willing to take the time to learn, or if you’re just looking for a basic weather summary to know whether to take a jacket or if your tee time will get rained out, or even if you’re just looking for a basic weather radar, then this app is most definitely NOT the app for you. Also, note that data is provided mainly for the United States..Version: 3.8.3
Wonderful app, just needs to be CarPlay enabledI’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..Version: 5.2.2
Does as advertisedNo 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..Version: 3.8.8
Perfect in Almost Every WayI 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..Version: 3.8.3
Don’t believe the hatersI 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..Version: 3.8
Great Radar App vs CompetitionI 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!.Version: 4.6.1
Happy early adopterI 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 🖖.Version: 4.0.1
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..Version: 3.8.5
Best what is happening now weather appIf 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..Version: 3.5.2
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!.Version: 3.8.4
Best radar app I’ve usedI’ve used this app for 7+ years. It’s the best out there, good enough for professionals to use. For the rest of us their Tier 1 plan for $9.99 per YEAR is a great value. It’s gotten me out of a lot of jams when traveling for work, when coaching at my daughter’s softball tournaments, or simply when at the house and trying to determine if the really bad stuff is heading my way. Anytime I take this app out (such as at the softball fields) I have people asking me the name of it so they can download. For the day to day forecast I just use Apple’s weather app. When there is an actual weather problem, RadarScope is my go-to and like I said it has gotten me out of (or helped me avoid) a lot of jams. I highly recommend..Version: 5.3
A live look at weather dataI'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..Version: 3.8.8
Wonderful app! Don’t believe the 1 star reviews!Everyone who has left a 1 star review clearly doesn’t know how radar works and doesn’t understand what this app is, and isn’t. This is not a forecasting app. It does not show the future. It does not tell you what will happen in the future. The app does not use graphical smoothing. There are many folks claiming the graphics are bad, but it’s just that they are seeing the raw data, which meteorologists use. Yes, you have to pay for things. Maybe you can get regular reflectivity scans for free on other apps, but I don’t want the graphical smoothing. It’s not the raw data that I want to be able to analyze. And of course you have to pay for advanced features like velocity scans, storm spotter beacons and reporting, SPC outlooks, etc. I have had the RadarScope app for a few years now and it is by far my favorite radar app. Yes, I am a Pro Tier 2 subscriber, and I think it’s more than worth it for the type of weather enthusiast I am. Before you buy the app, please evaluate what it is and isn’t before getting it and then complaining about it because of your ignorance..Version: 5.4.1
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..Version: 3.13.1
RadarScope ReviewThis 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..Version: 3.8.8
Great for Logistics!I have been using radar scope for years now and wouldn’t bother with any others - the radar I in real time. You can plan and stage ahead of the weather this way keeping one step ahead at all time. For instance: when the trucks go out to stage for snow, start salting and when to be ready to plow, that is one, another large factor is in the construction industry, you need to know up to the minute, second almost at point of when you’re going to actually get dumped on! So you can hurry and finish the concrete or get out the cover material to wait it out or plan alternative measures. Five stars from me! Just wish I had a cool black had with some nasty radar pic on it … 😁.Version: 5.5.5
Great App, Double ChargedThis 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..Version: 4.7.2
One of the only radar apps to rely onI’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..Version: 5.0.8
NWS instructor said this was the bestI 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.Version: 3.13.1
Works great on old iPadsI 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..Version: 3.12.1
Great near real time toolI have been using RadarScope for over 13 years, mainly in Florida but now when traveling the world. Yes, RadarScope has been branching out to other countries so I frequently check for coverage when we’re traveling. The greatest benefit to me is the near real time presentation of data combined with landmarks and my physical location. These enable immediate decision making from trusted information that enhances my outdoor experience. While supporting safer activities. The safety aspect cannot be underestimated. This is more than rain but lightning, wind speeds and meteorological watches/warnings combined with the speed and direction of movement. I use an iPhone and Apple Watch, the watch app is not of much use to me. It is small, slow and not very flexible. What would have gotten this app 5 stars is if they supported Apple CarPlay. With that function I could use the information while driving to avoid weather related hazards/traffic, selecting the most productive routes to reach my destination. This would be a game changer for me and a logical extension of the iPhone app..Version: 5.4.2
A Must-Have for RV’ersWe 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..Version: 3.12.1
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..Version: 3.9.3
A must have for everybody in tornado alleyI 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..Version: 4.3
Great.Tour the local WFO and you will find WeatherScope on many met’s personal devices. The flexibility of the program, the speed of updates, and the developer’s assiduous, frequent program enhancements are impressive. Data can be gathered from multiple sources (I use Allison House so I can have access to their superb maps). Tier 2 access is pricey but worth every penny if weather information is important to your business or is a source of endless fascination. My grandfather taught me to “read the sky” 60 years ago. WeatherScope give me access to those clouds through the eyes of a satellite. How far we’ve come..Version: 5.2.2
Worth itThis 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:).Version: 3.13.1
Canadian feedbackExcellent 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..Version: 3.13.1
Canadian ReviewIt was overall really good, unfortunately it doesn’t include most Canadian weather alerts, but it includes the main ones. Overall recommend, but I would suggest to add the new Environment Canada colour-coded alerts..Version: 5.5
Does what it saysIn 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..Version: 3.10
Great Customer ServiceHad 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!.Version: 3.5.1
Not for joe blowThis 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..Version: 4.3
Amazing AppThe 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..Version: 3.13.1
RadarscopeLove this app, easy to use, lots are great functions no complaints.Version: 3.13.1
The radar app you needThis 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..Version: 5.0.6
Alberta radar no workyA 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..Version: 3.11
Great app overall.I’m not sure what people are talking about, this is a great app. Sure, you have to subscribe for *some* features, which maybe is a flaw, but what is and isn’t a subscription feature is listed in the app’s description. If you spend five seconds reading into the app, you’ll know what you’ll be getting and what you need to pay extra for. Personally, I haven’t purchased any of their subscriptions- at least not yet- but this is still the best software for reflectance and velocity radar I have found yet. Zero ads, frequent updates, and most of the basic tools you may need for watching analyzing a storm at an amateur level all at your fingertips for a reasonable price..Version: 5.5.5
Amazing app: essential for any weather enthusiastPreviously had this on android and was more than happy to pay for it again on iOS as it’s too useful not to have. Outstanding app!.Version: 5.5.5
What an investmentThank you! that paid off with all the impressive and useful features.Version: 5.4.3
Canadian weather enthusiast hereIf you live in US or CA and you’ll looking for a storm chasing radar or simply a great radar, this is the one. Very detailed for US and CA it as everything you could ask for and it helped me saw my first Tornado. Thank you RadarScope! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.Version: 5.3.1
GoodRadarScope 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!.Version: 3.13.1
Great app; provides otherwise paywalled Canadian dataFrom 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..Version: 5.0.4
Great in the US, Meh in CanadaOffers 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..Version: 4.0.5
RadarScope is greatPlease update for watchOS 5.1.2. App is gone from my Apple Watch.Version: 3.8.7
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.Version: 3.1.2
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 :).Version: 1.8.0
Good app!Very complete radar app! Easy to get overwhelmed with the geeky stuff. Few nice tutorials on youtube can fix that however..Version: 3.4.2
Great appJust 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..Version: 3.4
Top Radar AppRadarScope 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..Version: 3.3.2
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..Version: 3.1.2
Great App but new UI isn't greatNew 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..Version: 3.0
Great AppI use this all the time! Comes in handy a lot!.Version: 2.2.1
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..Version: 2.1.2
Best Canadian radar app.Awesome Canadian support. This is the radar app to own if you're into following severe weather in Canada..Version: 2.1.2
GreatExcellent, once I deleted it and reloaded, it works great. Very useful App..Version: 2.1.1
The BestUnparalleled 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..Version: 2.1.0
