5/5Official Spotter Network
Storm chaser Maci Here. This app works perfectly with the spotter network. When asked to enter your ID, you need your application ID (not spotter ID,) & it can be found on the spotter network when you log on. After you enter that, you then need to make sure & set your location sharing to "Always" on your settings for the app, or it will not run your location to the spotter network. Tested app on radar scope & can see my signature clear as day. Updates very fast. Awesome app for certified storm spotters. Works 100% no issues.

1/5Doesn’t Work with Spotter Network
I enter my Spotter Network ID correctly. The app never connects to Spotter Network. The app says wrong ID or ID not updated. SMH
