3 star for how low quality the radar imagery is. The free radar from .gov has crisp imagery to see rotations, hooks, and possible changes that are needed to see if severe weather is over your area. This is not great considering weather sometimes has a tendency to change, and sometimes for the worse. Seeing these changes is life saving. I like the app, but I heavily dislike the low quality radar imagery. 5 day free trial does not resolve this issue.

Stellar app. Absolutely worth the price of Pro version. Support this company! This is the weather app for accuracy. The only one I know of that shows moisture in the air (before rainfall) on radar. I don't use this app daily, but if there is any weather predicted, this is what I use to track rain or storms. It's just done right. It's not a pretty, fluffy app - which I like. It's displays information with no waste, no bloat.

I have been a trained weather spotter providing observations to the NWS, including by Amateur Radio, for ~ 30 years. I use a number of data sources to assess the status of weather conditions so that my reports of local visual observations, refered to as "ground truth" reports, are as timely and accurate as possible. RadarNow! provides a good, quick, view of both regional weather systems and local conditions. I particulary like it while traveling. It is one of two I have set for quick access.
