| 2024-07-31 |  | | 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. |
| 2024-07-18 |  | | 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. |
| 2024-07-16 |  | | 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. |
| 2024-07-14 |  | | Great radar image. Loads fast, and the image time is the closest to real time that I have found. The ability to switch radar stations is a big plus. A local radar may show a lot of clutter, just switch to another radar location and clutter is gone for a clearer radar image. Very satisfied with thus app. |
| 2024-06-25 |  | | Not really impressed. I normally use the weather channel app and hoped this would be an improvement. The resolution is not great. Seems to be blurry and/or pixelated. Needs a tutorial to explain some of the functions. The radar itself doesn't seem to be as good as the weather channel app. I downloaded a local news station app for the weather and radar and unfortunately it is better than radar now. I even opted for the lifetime paid version and the only difference I notice is it eliminates ads. |
| 2024-06-21 |  | | The ads are too provocative. When all they are are women's chests, presumably advertising "clothing", but the chests need to be blurred, then all the ad is merely click bait. They distract from the app. The rating stays low until the ads are not so provocative. Update: quick response from developer and the ads do seem to disappear in landscape mode. Upgrade to 4 stars. |
| 2024-06-19 |  | | I had a bit of an issue with these different color screens popping up after the latest upgrade but after commenting I was immediately contacted by John Coryat, one of the engineers, and after a few emails and diagnostic tests I'm back to normal. Fantastic support! !! 8 years later and it's still the only radar app I use! Still loving it. It gets better with each updste.... 2024 and it's still my one and only... |
| 2024-06-18 |  | | I've used this app for about 8 years now. I live in Tornado Alley and travel all over the US by road. I've used this app to get ahead of and avoid storms. I use it when tornadic activity happens, heavy rain or snow... I'm sure there are many apps out there, but this one let's you interpret the motion of the ocean yourself. You see the radar reading from major radar stations all over the US. Pick the closest to your location (or anywhere else you want to see) and viola! I recommend this to All |
| 2024-06-16 |  | | Very reliable with alerts and updates in poor weather. Even better with your new updates. Thanks for good service. 5 star service. Dependable for alerting us to dangerous storms so we can protect ourselves. Another year has passed and still the same excellent service. I trust this. |
| 2024-06-15 |  | | Installed this app twice and uninstalled it twice. It doesn't load and just keeps saying " Can't reach server database" & "Unexpected error has occurred". After years of using this app across different phones and networks, it's hard to imagine that suddenly, after upgrades to the app, now it's any better for the upgrades at all. Guess I'll just use weather bug. |
