Description

Limited Time Sale - 50% OFF - DOWNLOAD NOW!
Simple yet powerful, this is the only app in the App Store that shows amazing real-time hi-def animated weather radar images in vivid color with lightning strikes and hurricane tracks on a highly responsive interactive map. You also get an awesome map based Notification Center Widget, live pressure readings from your device, weather forecast, severe weather warning boxes, snowfall, storm direction arrows, wildfires, current drought severity on the same map, along with support for Apple Watch.

Plus this is the only app that automatically augments land-based radar images with latest images from NOAA satellites covering the Atlantic/Pacific oceans into one single screen. This lets you track and follow the upcoming hurricanes and storms all from the same map.

Plus this is the only app where radar images will show up and start animating within 2 seconds of launching the app, even on a slow 3G connection. This is also the only map based weather app that keeps up even when you are rapidly zooming in and out, without any distracting flickering or other inconsistencies, and it will keep the animation going even as you are moving the map!

Plus this is the only app that allows *you* to control the loop speed, and also choose the interval between individual frames from 5 minutes all the way to 1 hour and also change the number of frames shown in animation.

Plus easily bookmark multiple locations so you can do a quick radar + forecast check for all your important places in just a few seconds.

Coverage Notes: If you live in a very-high-altitude town in Colorado (e.g. Fraser, Vail, Aspen), this app will likely not meet your needs, since radar beams get blocked by the tall mountains. Alaska coverage includes only the southern coastal areas, and does not include the Aleutian Chain. Cloud coverage does not include Alaska and Guam.

Notes:
- This app is only useful for users in the US, including all 50 states and territories including Puerto Rico and Guam.

Customer Reviews

We LOVE this app!!! (5 stars)
The radar in this app is much better than waiting the TV and waiting for weather alerts!! This app shows us weather watches and the VERY important weather warnings way before the television news/radio news and/or weather channel!! This app actually helped us to warn our loved ones of a tornado coming their way well in advance and at least five minutes before the TV meteorologists announced it! Lastly, this app actually showed my husband and

LOVE bookmarks (5 stars)
So far I'm completely in love with this app. We have some farm land out of state, where the severe droughts are occurring, and I've bookmarked each section of land so I can see exactly which pieces of land get rain (since the city itself getting rain, or one piece of land, doesn't mean another piece a mile away got rain). My dad will LOVE this when I set it up on his iPad!

One thing I'd love to see (given all these custom-placed boo

Great app worth the money (5 stars)
The app is easy to use and understand and give me updated information about the weather when it's happening. Better than any weatherman could ever be. It shows when lightning strikes and the gives you a general direction of the storm. I'm a lifeguard and I use this app all the time to see when a storm will hit and if there is intense lightning. I would highly recommend this app to anyone who need to know what the weather actually looks like.
