  1. 5/5New Best Free Radar/Satellite/Model App?

    As someone who has been studying the weather and tracking it consistently for years now, it has been hard to find multiple good radar apps. Tracking tornadoes and hurricanes from a meteorological standpoint is completely different from using your normal precipitation map that people call the “radar.” As for actual radar apps, there’s really only a few that have dominated for years. This one just became a contender for that list in the first hour of its release. It has more features than any other free radar app on the market. In addition to this, you really can’t just call this a radar app. Yes, it has all of the radar features (with precipitation and velocity in super resolution) but it has so much more. It also has real time satellite data along with the GFS and HRRR weather models (hopefully more to come in the future). This is something that very few apps have and to my knowledge, this one does it better than any other. You can also overlay weather forecasts on top of all these things and with an amazing road map, I’d assume storm chasers will also gladly start using this. There isn’t a weather app I recommend more than this one!

  2. 5/5absolutely AMAZING

    I have been using this for a month of so and I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!! If I am looking for weather information THIS HAS IT! It shows the velocity, it shows reflectivity, and it also has dual polarization, precipitation type, precipitation accumulation, and derived products and thats all just under radar AND FREE. You can have dual radars, I personally use velocity and reflectivity together. I am not someone who chases storms or really studies them in any professional way, I am simply someone who is fascinated by the information and data I can look at. It has everything I would like to be in an app as someone who is just looking out of interest and fascination of looking and watching supercells and storms. If you are looking for something that tells you data that is accurate and reliable this is definitely the best one I have used to date.

  3. 5/5Super Excited

    I saw this app mentioned on wxtwitter and am greatly impressed! This app has a lot of similarities to RadarScope (which I love) and offers several premium data layers for free. Some examples are the satellite basemap and lightning data. Additionally, the weather models are great! In the past I’ve always viewed weather models on a computer, as they are usually not very mobile friendly. But this app works so well on my phone and offers numerous models and runs. I’m hoping (unless I haven’t found it yet) that users will be able to eventually link and submit Spotter Network & mPING reports to the map. This was really helpful during Hurricane Helene. An annual premium subscription option would be neat too! Overall, I never leave app reviews, but I’m so excited about this app and to see where it goes :)

  4. 5/5So many functions!

    I originally heard of this app from the YouTuber Max Velocity and I decided to get it just to see if it was any good since it was free and WOW. This has so many features for being a free app! This has more features than even some paid apps I’ve seen. I used to be a RadarScope loyalist (no subscription though, only base app) but honestly, this may be my new go-to weather app and my go-to recommendation for those who want to get into storm tracking. This has the features of that app and more. And I just heard that a $10 subscription can get you even more than this somehow! Honestly seeing the base version, I didn’t know you could pack much more into it. Thank you for making an accessible and comprehensive weather app for us weather nerds!

  5. 5/5Max

    Sometimes I like to pretend I’m Maxie-Pooh when using this app. I like to tell Alexa to change the mood, to which all of the lights in my room turn a dark but mysterious amber color. I set up my flashlight above my monitor to point directly at my face and throw on my glasses because like him, only the rays behind God himself can put the intensity of my astigmatism to shame. I then shut all of my windows and doors, ensuring no air goes in or out of the room. Before my grand finale, I make sure my 72-hour worn ankle socks are nice and ripe- with my trailed basketball shorts and stretched out t-shirt. Once I have confirmed my attire I then get my step stool to make myself approximately 6’10”, raise my desk and then subtly and smoothly say “Riley has an update, go ahed Riley”
