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.

  • Excellent App

    I have been using this app for a few months now, and it is well worth it. It runs smoothly, has no bugs, and updates. I have no complaints with this radar app. One thing I would like is more detailed road layer for at least tier 1. Overall, amazing app.

    Free online radars are so much more sophisticated, keeping my family safe other than the free tier of radar scope. Useless.
  • The best radar app, hands down.

    Nothing else I have used has come close to all the features offered in RadarScope. Living in a manufactured home in Texas, staying informed on the weather could genuinely be the difference between life or death so I am incredibly grateful for this app.
  • Wonderful app! Don’t believe the 1 star reviews!

    Everyone who has left a 1 star review clearly doesn’t know how radar works and doesn’t understand what this app is, and isn’t. This is not a forecasting app. It does not show the future. It does not tell you what will happen in the future. The app does not use graphical smoothing. There are many folks claiming the graphics are bad, but it’s just that they are seeing the raw data, which meteorologists use. Yes, you have to pay for things. Maybe you can get regular reflectivity scans for free on other apps, but I don’t want the graphical smoothing. It’s not the raw data that I want to be able to analyze. And of course you have to pay for advanced features like velocity scans, storm spotter beacons and reporting, SPC outlooks, etc. I have had the RadarScope app for a few years now and it is by far my favorite radar app. Yes, I am a Pro Tier 2 subscriber, and I think it’s more than worth it for the type of weather enthusiast I am. Before you buy the app, please evaluate what it is and isn’t before getting it and then complaining about it because of your ignorance.

    Sorry I wasted $9.99 on this! Generic free radars are better! Wish I could get my money back! Do not buy!

    This is my favorite weather app. Labeling the Gulf of Mexico the “Gulf of America“ because of dictates by a political leader is unscientific. Stop it because it reduces your objective credibility on such an important subject.
  • Scam

    So to get extended forecasts, watches and be able to view the radar for more than 5 seconds you have to pay for PRO. Waste of money buying it. I immediately DELETED this app.

    This was such a scam. Makes you purchase the app just to launch it and view a simple radar that you can essentially get free just about anywhere else. Then there’s two subscriptions…. Needless to say if your looking at this app, be prepared to spend $100 a year for the pro2
  • Bait and switch.

    You would think that if you pay you would actually get a view of a radar on an app called Radarscope. NOPE! You get nothing. You have to pay monthly to see the radar. STAY AWAY.
  • Great app!!
