This app is awful!!
Chip2008$
Looks like a kid in kindergarten designed it! Update please, it’s 2018!! This was simply a rip off!!
Was great and now abandoned...

I have been using this app since Ver 1.2 and as Apple has moved on with iOS updates it seems that the developer WDT has left this what used to be an awesome app... abandoned. Many are on iOS 11 and since the release if iOS 11 the app UI is buggy and notifications are very delayed. Developers at WDT have said an update was coming soon for many months. I’ve moved on to Storm Shield and deleted Weather Radio.
What a fall from grace for a formerly great app
Justin.Reid
I hate to write this review, but this app, which greatly innovated using push notifications to give weather warnings, is now no longer worth the space on my iPhone. There was a Flash Flood Watch and River Flood Warning issued by the NWS for my GPS location on 5/19/2018 at a little past 10 PM but Weather Radio showed no watches, warnings, or advisories. Weather Underground’s flagship app and Storm Radar under the Weather Channel brand listed the right watches and warnings and issued notifications as expected, but not Weather Radio. This was a sad sight to see, but it unfortunately appears that the database Weather Radio is polling isn’t being maintained properly. It’s a true shame as I’ve seen this App evolve over the years and for a long time it was great, but not anymore. I hope RadarScope is still given the attention it deserves because it’s still the best Radar software on both iOS and macOS. I know development can be hard, but just letting your product go like this is just tragic.
E-mailed Support - Still Being Developed
AgilisOne
Being a user of this app for a long time, I too have noticed that app no longer behaving correctly. So I e-mailed support asking if this app is still being developed and my concerns. Hopefully their response below comes true soon. “Thank you fro contacting WDT support regarding Weather Radio! Our application developers have been working on an update for the Weather Radio app, and it is still being tested. We are hoping to get this update pushed out to users in the near future. If you have any further questions, please let us know!”
Glitchy App that apparently hasn’t been updated in 2 years
LexisLuther
The UI has glitchy and distracting menu animations that cannot be disabled. In addition to the superficial, I also encountered a bug that affects core functionality. When attempting to add my parent’s home address to monitor, the app couldn’t find it. When I tried to drag a pin to their home on the map from a nearby city, the map glitched out and showed two pins but would not let me drag either of them to their location for which I wanted to receive alerts. I see that the app has not been updated in 2 years. After enjoying RadarScope Pro for years, I didn’t doubt this purchase for a second. Now that I’ve spent money on the app and the corresponding subscription, I hope the WDT developers give these issues some much needed and overdue consideration.
Guess this is a dead app?
AustxCyclist
Like a previous customer mentioned - this used to be an app I enjoyed and relied on but it’s been several years without an update and weather notifications no longer work. This app is fairly useless without those notifications. Too bad.
Lacks Update
iTim314
This app has been largely abandoned since iOS 9. At the moment it is only good for current location notifications and nothing else, and even getting to those settings can be difficult given the UI glitches.
Lightning
Cllncho
Hi, I can’t purchase the lightning update, are you still offering? It will not update or go to the store from the app to purchase. Thanks.
Great App
Railbuff87
I have had this app pretty much from the start, and it works well. Alerts work great often before the news puts them out, lightning alerts work great, and I cannot say enough good things about this app. Love it!! If you are looking for a weather app that works well 99% of the time this is the app to get. I cannot say 100% because no matter what app is being used for weather alerts it can miss something for various reasons the biggest being no data or wifi connection.
