Do you live for storm chasing? You always keep an ear tuned to the weather report, so you don t miss any news of imminent weather. You ve been dreaming of seeing and ...
This app is phenomenal Without it I would have been screwed a few times The new update is crazy awesome I love the new severe weather updates and the new pixilation Definitely buy Love it
Very useful app especially with the level 3 data available My only complaint is that it needs more documentation A quick tutorialhelp file would be really useful for people who dont necessarily understand what info each radar type gives and how to interpret it Great app Could use better documentation
No snow storms Sad little App that just takes up space 9 months out of the year while I am expecting a foot of snow again this month Not a peep from Storm Spotter It just sits there looking stupid It could at least broadcast the warnings and watches for snow since it has nothing else to do but take up real estate On second thought there is Intellecast RadarScope Weather Underground and Weather Live Oh and TWC and WeatherWall Mobilegee guess I dont need this App after all Hit DELETE Wow more room on my iPad for a useful program Somebody just got lazy and produced a mediocre App No snow
With these last updates this app has gone down hill since the ratings want let put Negative on it I will just tell he real rating 2 It use to be a good
This is a new App Best update everno crashes no bugsthis is a very professional appoutstanding job The developer reads his emails and responds The next updates will even be better than this Level 3 data is outstanding
I am in emergency management and always out chasing during storm season This is by far the best app I have found Well worth the money Especially since you can look at the duelpol and bvel and vil Great app
I like that it has base velocity
This app is exceptionally good with one issue you cannot scroll to read the full warning text on iOS 7 Good with one annoying bug
Menu buttons do not respond App is frozen Appears to be a google map to apple map issue Doesnt work with iOS 6
When the app works its great Almost Radarscope quality Unfortunately it crashes constantly and the last couple weeks it will not even load without crashing Please fix it When it works
I am an emergency management director in Oklahoma using OKFirst as primary means of monitoring storm events I cant always take my laptop When out running around so i use this app Works great Im sure they will be adding storm relative velocity before long but even without it this app makes my job much easier Thanks for your desire to provide a quality product at an affordable price Great
Great app just wish someone would have 3d images on tornadoes in the storm Great app
Its beautifully written Love the fast boot up the radar grid vs a typical scrolling list mode landscape capability the corner box on the warnings and long press for full screen Animations seem to load really fast compared to other aps too Would love to see a scalable dbz filter vs a preset clutter level in a future version Great add to my my existing storm chasing cache of aps
Its not the greatest Crashes all the time Ive downloaded the Weather Channels FREE app and I love it Moves quick and is accurate Doesnt crash either Warnings and watches are immediately posted as well Chaser
The new release is great Fast to load the level 3 data is nice I love having the radar on top of google maps Great app
At times the radar is anywhere between 1020 minutes behind This could kill someone using this for actual Storm Chasing Was Great but
This app was already great The most up to date no lag app I have With the most recent updates it is even better I love how easy it it so use yet you can tell there are some really advanced controls also This is my go to app in bad weather Just keeps getting better
Worked than Location Services fail Trying again
I have had better consistency from free apps This one constantly crashes and the developers never have any upgrades or updates to it New post Actively on a storm chase now and all this ap does is crash The free weathertap ap is far outshining this one Crashes
Great app Works as promised with the recent updates Far superior to other smart phone radar apps Worth Every Penny
This is an ok app but does have issues I used it for a few years but have found a better app for not much more money that doesnt have the issues this one has An ok app
The easiest way to see nearly every interesting NEXRAD data image as it comes out Even echo tops different tilt angles etc Amazingly detailed NEXRAD data
Needs an update for iOS 7 wont work yet after update Im sure it coming GREAT app especially when your driving gives your location as you approach the storm Good graphics and several filters like VIL vertical integrated liquid to show amount of rain in a system keep it up iOS 7 update
great app with all the info around me i need Great job info from every where
On initial startup app starts to update then crashes and shuts down On startup second time updates ok Seems to have an issue on initial startup Needs to be corrected App is crashing
I think it is worth it Storm Watcher
Ive had this one for several years and still think its a great app Still A Favorite
I echo the comments below about it being good WHEN it works I have not been able to load itat all for several days and am very unhappy with it I have communicated with Ross and that has been no help It is frozen upcant even get in to delete it Lee
I have to say when I first downloaded this app I was a little hesitant because it didnt have the same reviews like RadarScope did Im so glad I downloaded this app It has gotten me through several Tornado Warnings with real time radar updates One thing that would make this a 5star instead a 4 is if the flow of things Instead of tapping several things to get what I want there needs to be a way to make it stream smoother Overall a great buy High Quality App
WowIve been waiting for this app to come out without even knowing about it Have used it now over the last 3 weeks It has performed flawlessly throughout while flying all over the country in addition to driving through 5 states I use it on an iPhone 4S in addition to a first generation iPad Remember to check your settings and set the radar selection to reduce clutter to the ON position Instructions are poor so just do a google search for radar tilt angle and youll find more than you need to know on what it means ie elevation angle I leave mine on tilt 1 as a general practice and dont mess with it Grand slam
Just got this app to supplement another weather app I have I think this one will be a great addition for my spotting needs I travel by car constantly for work and radio isnt as reliable for information as it once was so these apps are quite possibly literally lifesaving Thanks Great addition
Ive had this app for a while but after using it during Hurricane Issac I had to give a review One of the best apps ever Really accurate I can tell exactly when rainstorms will come to my area Love it
I am a chaser and this is the best app out there LOVE IT
Download radarscope andor Weathertap for the absolute ace apps Radarscope pinpoints your exact location plus has a locator for all spotters currently in active mode on the US including me Plus all data is received by radarscope straight from the NWS and not from a secondary location like all other sources including this one Also radarscope offers nationwide warnings Quit looking at this generic app and go to radarscope now You wont regret it Awful app
NEEDS RADAR SMOOTHING Smoothing
Pls remove from my apple updates Keeps trying to download latest and no ios5 1st Ipad
What a joke dont download All it does is crash Beware Ripoff
This is a bad app Crashes every time I want my back Bad App
UPDATE Bug fixed that caused app to crash upon startup Ive had this app since its awful beginnings With every update Ive seen considerable progress and now with this latest version Im completely sold Well done to the developer who has obviously been working hard to fix a really complicated app Having hires radar data is very hard to program on on top of Google Maps The auto radar switch is a terrific feature as is full screen and shake to refresh The only thing I dont like right now is how it loads radar data for looping Im no programmer but it seems clumsy Also Allisonhouse and Spotter Network integration would be nice The ability to report from the app would be amazing Keeps getting better
Mt Holly NJ radar is always hours behind in app but the site is active and current Same thing happens with other radar sites Used to be great but seems like no support anymore Emails to support go ignored and unreturned Was good now clearly no support DO NOT BUY
All the info I need for tornadoes Love It
This app is the best radar app I saw 4 tornadoes today using only this app Amazing Keep up the great work Amazing
It crashes Please fix The end Crashes
This new version crashes more then ever Not worth the money
I used to LOVE this app but now it crashes on startup every single time It has been doing that for over a month Do not purchase this app until the bug is fixed Constantly Crashes
Heres why this app isnt ready for prime time Lack of Doppler smoothing renders huge pixels that make examination of local storm structure useless The developer has gone to great lengths to include a robust list of tilts and views of different radar feeds but includes no instructions or help whatsoever What is all this stuff Not everyone is a meteorologist Where is the ability customize the color of warning boundaries that was in previous versions The yellow used in this app virtually disappears when overlaid over precip doppler with lots of yellow And for novice users there is no color key to tell you what color indicates each type of warning The warning icon that turns red still needs a userdefined proximity control of some sort The authors arbitrary radius selection is useless and annoying for any serious storm chasingspotting Lastly the app has a bad habit of displaying the last data you viewed instead of current data even if it was days old This behavior is just not acceptable and has been problematic now for several releases Overall Better than a lot of apps but definitely still not ready for primetime Good Grief
There was a tornado warning in my area and I pulled this app up and it was 54 days behind Good thing I will be using another app Weeks behind
This app was great until iOS7 came out Now the app is useless If you rely on this app do not upgrade to iOS7 The app is great thoughIm a big fan But it needs to be updated iOS7
Ive always wanted a radar that overlays high resolution radar on to google maps The major difference with this app compared to others is the pin point street level locating is so accurate you will know if your going to be hitor missed by hail in the feet A dream come true
I just updated to IOS 7 This is the only app I have that now doesnt work Make it 7 capable and this is a 5star app Doesnt Run On 7
