Customer Reviews

Still no Google Maps animation (3 stars)
Despite recent update still NO Google maps animation? App has said Google maps animation coming for 8-9 months!!
Please animate Google maps like other good radar sites.

Still no animated google maps (3 stars)
What a bummer, I use this app a lot and it's great for local radar, when I saw the update in the app store my eyes shined with hope only to be let down by the updates made to the app, would give it 5 star but still no google maps animation, it was promised almost a year ago.

A decent radar app (5 stars)
Not a bad app for a buck. Most of the time it loads quickly, and you have access to all radars in the US. I recently went on a business trip and it located the radar for where I was visiting immediately, which is good because I had no clue trying to find it on a list. Very happy with this app!
