Description

RadarScope is an AMS-award-winning weather visualization tool that empowers meteorologists, public safety officials, storm spotters, and weather enthusiasts to view a full suite of single-site radar data and related severe weather products. Your initial purchase provides professional radar visualization in a fully native app, free from distracting and invasive practices, with optional subscription packages to add even more capabilities. Whether you’re scanning for a mesocyclone’s tell-tale hook echo, pinpointing the landfall of a hurricane’s eye wall, or identifying velocity couplet, hail spike, or debris ball signatures, RadarScope displays native radar data in its original radial format. You see what the radar sees almost as soon as the radar sees it, with automatic updates every two to ten minutes depending on the radar’s scanning strategy. Your initial app purchase includes the following: • Full suite of single-site radar products for the US, Canada, Guam, Denmark, Finland, and Germany • 6-frame radar loops • Two built-in providers for radar data • Tornado, thunderstorm, flash flood, special marine, snow squall, and extreme wind warnings in the US • Selected severe weather warnings in Canada and Australia • NWS-generated storm tracks with hail, TVS, and mesocyclone attributes • Inspector and distance tools • Color palette options for radar data • AllisonHouse data plan integration • Spotter Network integration for storm and location reporting • mPING integration for submitting weather reports to NSSL • Bundled maps with political boundaries, water bodies, and major highways, optimized for low-bandwidth use • Support for widgets and complications • Universal app for Apple platforms, including Apple Watch and Apple TV • Family Sharing support RadarScope Pro Tier One is an optional annual subscription that adds more features for tracking severe weather: • 30-frame radar loops • Cloud-to-ground lightning strikes • Severe weather watches in the US and Canada • Special weather statements in the US and Canada • Mesoscale convective and precipitation discussions • SPC convective, tornado, hail, wind, and fire outlooks • WPC excessive rainfall outlooks in the US • Local storm reports in the US • Custom color palette support • Multi-pane display (2 on phones; 4 on larger devices) • Family Sharing support RadarScope Pro Tier Two is an optional annual or monthly subscription that transforms RadarScope into a more complete visualization tool for a larger suite of weather products, including: • Everything in Pro Tier One • 50-frame radar loops • A third provider for US radar data • NEXRAD Level II radar data for the US with a 30-year historical archive • Historical NEXRAD Level III, super-res, and non-US radar data with a 30-day archive • Historical NWS bulletins with a 19-year archive • GOES East and GOES West satellite products • NSSL’s Multi-Radar Multi-Sensor (MRMS) products • NCEP’s Real-Time Mesoscale Assimilation (RTMA) products • Surface observations • Atmospheric soundings in the US • Hail size, hail probability, and azimuthal shear contours with a 30-day archive • More detailed transportation and satellite imagery maps • Custom color palette support for GOES, MRMS, and RTMA • Server-sent events for radar and warning updates • Cross-platform subscription sharing on up to 5 devices • Family sharing support If you choose to buy a RadarScope Pro subscription, it will be charged to your App Store account.

  • Definitely not worth 10 bucks

    By MrDukemusthaveasuite
    This $10 app has fewer features than most free apps. I don’t understand what I’m paying for, since there is an additional subscription fee to get any functionality.
  • Was good..

    It was good, then the creators of the app just got plain greedy. $9.99 for SPC outlooks that I can get from NWS for free?

    Paid for this product and now they want to charge me again for it. Now they are removing features that was in the original app. What a waste of time and a slap in the face to those who have used this product. I guess you don’t care about your customers.
  • Watch complication missing after update

    The latest update broke the ability to add RadarScope as a watch complication. I used this all the time in my modular watch face to be able to quickly glance at the radar. Update— restarting the watch fixed this in case this helps anybody else.
  • Best radar app OF ALL TIME!!!

    I paid $10 for an app that does what any free weather app can do, thinking I’d be able to use the features it advertises. Those features are locked behind a subscription-based paywall—in some cases, more than one! Waste of money. Can’t even get tornado watches on the app, which so many other apps provide for free.
  • The Best Radar Application Available

    I have been a user of this application since the very beginning, and I have never left this application. I have downloaded and tried others during the years, and always come back to RadarScope. There are other apps which have a bunch of extra “flashy” features like 3D radar and sweep lines, but all of those items are computer generated and not an actual representation of weather. For RadarScope, you will always have a team behind it who puts the most important user features first. All users should subscribe to the $10 per year Tier 1 service, as it provides a bunch of useful, functional features for basic weather observers. If you are a weather weenie, or want access to data heavy features such as GOES Satellite Data, the Tier 2 subscription at $100 per year is absolutely work it. I have a series of bookmarks which access GOES Satellite Data, but having it all integrated within this application is well worth the price to admission. This app has provided life-saving information on at least five occasions where I was in a Particularly Dangerous Situation and/or Emergency.
  • Requires additional subscription

    People say RadarOmega is good. Ehh, I wouldn’t agree. I’ve been using this app for 4 years, it’s amazing. Pro v1 is only $10 for a YEAR. I love it a lot. You have a variety of different radars to identify if there’s rotation or anything else in a storm. Highly Recommend!
