Radar MAX is a great application for iPhone and iPad that displays high-resolution predictive weather radar around your current location, allowing you to quickly see what weather is coming your way. Radar MAX proprietary radar mosaics provide radar imagery at the highest resolution on different zoom levels.
Radar MAX gives you up-to-date animated radar imagery from the National Weather Service, with coverage for all 50 US states (and Puerto Rico and Guam!).
Radar MAX is recommended for those who are interested in weather, astronomy, aviation, hunting, fishing, travel, own or work on a farm or ranch, a private or vacation home, or work or play in a weather-sensitive environment or industry.
The radars cannot determine precipitation type (such as rain or snow). Radar MAX uses special algorithms to delineate between rain and snow.
Radar MAX shows animated weather, so you can tell if rain is headed toward or away from you, and how fast.
A weather radar is used to locate precipitation, calculate its motion, estimate its type (rain, snow, hail, etc.), and forecast its future position and intensity. Radar MAX shows tornado, rain, snow, and hail clouds movement on zoomable maps around your location in real time.
Precipitation type is indicated by the color. Green color indicates lesser precipitation while the yellow color code indicates intense precipitations. The color code red is indicative of the most intense precipitations. Blue color indicates snow.

Disappointed

It’s annoying that I had to drop 4.99 to find out that the radar wouldn’t update unless the annoying animation was turned on.
Good app

Radar Max provides the information you need to plan your trips I count on it for fishing and other sports
App is terrible

This app is a major waste of money. Doesn’t work good and will not stay zoomed in. I would give a zero star if I could. Deleted app within 2 minutes. I want my money back
Awesome

This is an awesome radar app I live in East Central Florida the weather in Florida changes on a dime especially during the summer months when we get storms every afternoon and some of those storms can be a little on the strong side and every once in a while we get hurricanes the last couple of years it has been active hear so I depend on the crisp clean graphics on the radar app to be able to track the storms right down to street level it is very important to me to have street level radar the radar updates are accurate so if you want a good radar app than get this app you will not regret it it’s an awesome app
Hoped for better resolution

Don't get this if you have eWeather, made by the same developer. Looks the exact same as eWeather radar without the additional features.
Save your money

Radars cannot distinguish between snow and rain. This app shows radar in blocks making it very unrealistic. Worthless to those of us living in changeable weather climates.
