Description

RadarScope is a specialized display utility for weather enthusiasts and meteorologists that allows you view NEXRAD Level 3 and Level 2 radar data along with tornado, severe thunderstorm, flash flood, special marine and snow squall warnings, and predicted storm tracks issued by the U.S. National Weather Service. It can display the latest reflectivity, velocity, dual-polarization, and other products from any NEXRAD or TDWR radar site in the United States, Guam, Puerto Rico, Korea, and Okinawa, as well as data from Environment Canada, Australian Bureau of Meteorology, Finnish Meteorological Institute, and German Weather Service radars. These aren't smoothed images, this is native radar data rendered in its original radial format for a high level of detail. Whether you are scanning reflectivity for a mesocyclone's tell-tale hook echo, trying to pinpoint the landfall of a hurricane's eye wall, or looking for small features like velocity couplets in the storm relative radial velocity product, RadarScope gives you the power to view true radial weather radar data. RadarScope displays tornado, severe thunderstorm, flash flood, special marine, and snow squall warnings issued by the U.S. National Weather Service. You can browse the list of active warnings, select a warning to view the details, and even zoom to the selected warning on the map. Pinch or stretch to zoom in and out. Drag your finger around the map to scroll. Tap the radar sweep button in the toolbar to switch radars. Select one of the 289 different radars in the United States, Canada, Australia, Germany, Korea, Puerto Rico, Guam, or Okinawa. Plot your current location by tapping the location button and optionally report it to the Spotter Network. Tap the play button to download and animate over recent images. Display the names of over 25,000 cities and towns on the map as you zoom and scroll. Tap and hold the color legend to see the data values. Meanwhile, RadarScope will retrieve and display updated data automatically and intelligently (approximately every 2 to 10 minutes, depending on the radar scan strategy). You can display radar data from our servers, NOAA's public access web site, or your Allison House subscriber account. Spotter Network members can report their location and view the locations of other spotters. RadarScope Pro is an optional auto-renewing subscription with two different tiers to choose from. RadarScope Pro Tier One is an annual subscription that provides access to real-time animated lightning data and up to 30 frames of radar data, including extended loops of super-resolution data. Tier One subscribers can also access a data interrogation tool to quickly determine data values for specific radar pixels and an optional dual-pane mode for viewing two radar products side-by-side. RadarScope Pro Tier Two is an annual or monthly subscription that combines all the features in Tier One with more advanced features, including 50-frame loops, SPC outlooks, special weather statements, mesoscale discussions, local storm reports, hail size and probability contours, and azimuthal shear contours in the U.S., a 30-day archive of all radar products, a 2-year archive of NEXRAD Level 3 radar products, a full historical archive of NEXRAD Level 2 products, and the ability to use subscription features across multiple platforms. If you choose to buy the RadarScope Pro subscription, it will charged to your iTunes account. The subscription will be auto-renewed within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period at the same price you originally paid. Subscriptions may be managed and auto-renewal disabled via your iTunes Account Settings after the purchase. Once purchased, the subscription cannot be cancelled during the active subscription period.

    Great app but if you already own the iPhone app you should definitely be able to get the windows version for free via using an account
  • If you want radar, this is the app you need

    Excellent app for everything radar. I subscribe to Pro Tier 1 annually, and have upgraded to a monthly Pro Tier 2 subscription for peak tornado season where I live, then will probably drop back to Tier 1 again. With Tier 2, it's really neat to have the same sort of information that the weatherfolk talk about on TV, like storms cells tagged with TVS (Tornado Vortex Signature), along with directional information, etc. I have the app on my iPhone and Mac, and cast the screen of the latter to a spare TV that has Google cast capabilities. It's a good way to interest kids in science and get them off social media for a bit.
  • Friendly but powerful.

    Good for novice or expert. I’m not an expert. I miss the lightning data but current poordom prevents pro tier. Great overall radar app I’ve used for maybe 10 years. Long long time. ⚡️🌩️🌪️👍🏻
  • Love it

    Definitely like the app works well. Only thing is wish the app was free to download and then buy subscriptions. Also wish we got road name in the basic subscription
  • Locking old features behind a paywall

    Pretty sick of you guys to do that. You used to be able to se more frames of weather, as well as watches and special weather statements. Now you have to pay $10/year for some of those. If you want the rest, it’s $15/year.
  • Cool App but cost too much

    Huge downside, you have to pay for the app, AND pay a subscription. Wish I would have know before I purchased it.
  • Best radar app out there!

    I have used a lot of radar apps in my life, but RadarScope has proven to be the best radar app I have ever used. I have been with them since nearly the beginning and I thoroughly enjoyed tier 1 for most of that time. Now that I’ve upgraded to tier 2, I couldn’t be more happier with the radar and satellite data provided. RadarScope continues to keep getting more features and is the most stable radar app I have used. I will continue to be a loyal RadarScope user!
  • Can’t Read

    Can’t read warnings once you click on them.
  • Wonderful app, just needs to be CarPlay enabled

    I’ve had this app for years. Depended on it for job related functions as well as home life. I live in the PNW mountains and no weather station has accurate forecasts so use the app to track snow and rain showers to time activities around. As basic as “should I let the dogs out now or wait for a bit until the rain lets up?” Years ago, I used the relative velocity display during a tornado watch and saw a rotation starting near my hotel. Opened the curtain to see a tornado touchdown a few hundred yards from me. Would be great if they could CarPlay enable this. As an RV’er and someone who drives a lot, it would be great to quickly pull up on the vehicle display to see if I’m driving into light rain or a heavy storm cell, rain or snow, etc.
  • Can I get my $9.99 back?

    By Mark_1000
    I bought the $9.99 version, and from what I see, you don't get the radar screen like shown in the pics, just a plain screen with some cheesy cheap crappy graphics to show a front or rain or whatever? Is this all there is? If yes, I want my money back asap.
