RadarScope Reviews

Micro managed

Kazuiv

Very disappointed that the radar is limited to one small area of the map. Was looking for a full scale map coverage radar to track oncoming storm sys. Not awful but so not what i wanted. Waste of 10 bucks ?

Alright

It’s alright but your $9.99 doesn’t get you much...just a radar you can get from several others for no cost. What really puts you off is the subscription price $99.99 for a year...seriously? You got $10 off of me but you better enjoy, for that’s all, ever.

The Greatest Weather App For Meteorologists

Jaredmherman

This app has fundamentally changed the way meteorologists and weather enthusiasts get the rawest radar images for view on mobile devices. You can't get better than this. The only things I would like to be added are the following.. •Cuban radar, so we can view tropical systems moving into the gulf •A cheaper Tier 2 plan, maybe $39.99 a year. $99.99 is just too expensive for students and enthusiasts, or maybe a student discount. •The ability to select multiple radars at once and overlap them into a stitched map. •The ability to download raw data from radars. •More tools, radars, etc. Thanks for all the work you guys do!!

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.

Needs a couple more features

TStan97

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.

I love it but they shaft you on the windows platform

I love the app on the Apple Platform! Have been a member for atleast 5 years. This year my Mac died and I’m forced to use my work computer which is a Windows platform. I find it absurd that RadarScope charges $30 for the app just so I can pay another $99 for a year of tier 2 membership. This is extremely disappointing that you favor one platform over another just so you can shaft the users.

Can only view one radar at a time

I wanted something that would let me look at the national NOAA radar imagery easily. This app only lets you look at a single local radar image at a time. This is made clear in the first sentence of the user guide—but somehow they neglect to mention this pretty important fact in the App Store description. There is no way to learn this until after you’ve shelled out $10.
